If you applied for an OWP, submitting the application for the work permit is what triggers the implied status. Your stay as a visitor is implied until a decision is made on the work permit application. If you did not apply for the OWP, then you are obliged extend your visitor visa if you wish to...

I think it is CIC that is stuck.

Scan as a PDF and send via webform: https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx You need to put in your information first and when you choose 'Next' it will ask you if you want to upload documents. Upload and submit.

You mean the x-ray and blood tests, correct? You need to do the tests, but there is only the one sheet that you send to CIC. The test results will be linked to the application. There is no need for an extra sheet saying the tests have been performed. Just send the one sheet with the UMI barcode...

Inland is almost always slower, depends on what outland visa office you would be applying through. Check it here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/

I'm with you, profiler. I'm done with eCAS as well. According to that page they haven't even started my file.

I think you're getting a pretty good deal. Bear in mind you're only going cost the system more as you get older. :)

pfft, gotten very little back, yeah right. What about those $10,000 surgeries every year covered by OHIP you were talking about before? EDIT: or how about your job in an industry subsidized by the Canadian government?

Wise words.

Your RRSP contribution limit is defined by your income from the previous tax year (18% of your taxable income up to a certain limit which changes every year). So if you had taxable income in 2015, then there will be contribution room for your 2016 tax year. This information will be on your...

Hang in there man. At least we're in the immigration class that never fails.

Visitor visa is a TRV. No need to apply for another one.

Correct, it is indeed true that you do not require a visa if you have a valid work (or study) permit. Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, Part 7, Division 5, 190, 3 (f) See the link below http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/page-39.html#h-106 Here is a...

CIC wouldn't tell CRA to initiate a reassessment. They don't need to contact CRA, the information is contained on the Option C printout that your sponsor supplied with the application. CIC just cares that the sponsor is not receiving social assistance (welfare). There is no minimum income...

You are ok to take this job, they are referring to things like nursing, lab technician, etc. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-temp.asp Jobs for which you need a medical exam You may have to get a medical exam because of the type of job you want to do in Canada...

You knew the processing time before you applied. If you wanted a 6 month processing time (highly unlikely anyway), you should have applied outland. How do you know these other people have only been married 1 week and have no pictures? I'm happy those people are getting their application...

The terminology 'Temporary Foreign Worker' implies that it is part of the TFW program, which doesn't issue an OWP but rather a permit tied to a specific employer. In this person's case, they status is 'Worker'. As profiler said, you are not in danger of overstaying. You do not need to leave...

Haha, I didn't get to see the rant before you deleted it. Shame. Yeah, I am getting the feeling that is how it is going to be for a lot of us with the 'clumping'

Hey, great news. I'm still holding out for the 'straight to landing interview' email. Getting an email about SA is going to be underwhelming at this point.

Ok, that is interesting. But it looks like the issues people are running into are re-entering Canada trying to activate a new permit. This inland OWP avoids this issue. However, you're right - looks like this is more tricky than it appears. Luckily for the person asking the original question...
