Is your application linked online on MyCIC/Gckey? Typically, the medical instructions would arrive as a letter in your online account, rather than being mailed.

Technically yes you can leave the country (temporarily, like for a 1-2 week vacation). That would not affect the OWP application itself. However, you are correct that you would lose your implied status. You would not be able to keep working when you got back. So there really is no way for you to...

I wouldn't recommend applying inland as a US applicant. Outland US applications (as long as they are straightforward) are processed in 4-6 months, and you can apply outland from within Canada. Has he never come to visit you in Canada before during your relationship? He shouldn't have any issues...

Can you clarify why you haven't been issued the OWP yet if you applied in January? The OWP application is what gives you implied status. Did you not apply for it alongside your PR app? Or did your OWP expire with your passport?

Nope! You would only need to submit one if you were immigrating as well.

I believe it would be easier for him to go ahead and land, then sponsor you later, once you're ready to get married and move. There isn't any reason to rush it.

Currently it's taking them about a week to a week and a half

Yes I understand that. What I'm saying is I don't understand why that is a problem?

Yes, it is normal for it to say online application. Processing time when you're sending directly to Vegreville is typically around 3 months (as opposed to 4 months when you send alongside your PR app).

I'm confused. If it says "daughter of"... then it should say your father's name. Surely you aren't the daughter of your husband?

I'm not surprised. Receiving communication from them by mail takes a very long time. To receive AOR by email it's 6-8 weeks, so everything coming by mail takes longer. I know somebody who received their AOR by mail 3 months after the fact... Once you get your AOR, I would suggest submitting an...

I'm confused. In your post, it says you submitted in June, but you also said it has been almost 3 months? Am I missing something? AOR takes 6+ weeks

There is nothing that you can do. They will either return the application to you, or open it then forward it to Nova Scotia themselves. They changed the address about a month ago, so there's a chance they could do either. You have no option besides just waiting to see what happens

You can pay the $100 fee individually. It is just the open work permit holder fee.

You will be on implied status (able to stay in the country legally) but you will need to stop working until your OWP arrives.

It will not prevent you from being issued an OWP as long as you were not illegally working during that time. In your letter of explanation I would suggest directly stating that you were not working illegally.

Yes, it means your application will be processed in Mississauga instead of being transferred to a VO.

IRCC will not be able to do anything with the application, as it will likely be returned again. It would be up to this individual to collect the returned application from whoever it is going to be mailed back to. The application is not being refused, it's just being returned unprocessed since...

Not peculiar at all. They are about as standard as it gets. Applicants who are kept in Mississauga are the ones who get the weird emails :)
