    Hi, I understand you are married? If so, he can apply inland together with an application for OWP. Usually they issue those within 2 months or so. But you have to understand that the whole PR process will take twice as long than the outland one.

    Hey there, I left Canada to go home for two weeks this Summer. There were a lot of people telling me it was a bad idea. But I had absolutely NO problem coming back. Of course, you have to make sure you have a valid visa in your passport and your work permit. Nobody asked me any additional...

    I was able to link mine right away, but as far as I know, sometimes it takes a little more time for them to put your OWP in the system. So just wait a week or two and try again. Also, it might help using different combinations there while linking your application.

    Don't worry, everything seems to be ok with your application. What you received on May 8th - was your AOR. Nobody will tell you exactly what the processing time is. About the Status Restoration - I think CIC is facing a large number of applicants, that's why there are a lot of delays. I applied...

    Don't stress out. They accepted it, so it should be fine. I'm on the same boat here - I applied on March 13th, and we also used NOA 2015. If they need the 2016 one, I'm sure they will request it.

    You don't have to. People do it to be on a safe side. In my case, I found mailing it more helpful than sending via IRCC web form, because the next day mailing room received my Schedule A, the status changed to: We are processing your background check.

    As to the 1st one, you can leave it blank, as open work permit does not require you to stay with the same employer. As to Intended work in Canada you can specify your occupation and the city and province of your intended work (but it's not mandatory).

    Have you done it upfront? Cause as soon as I sent my application, my status said: passed. So now I'm wondering if they are going to review it again..?

    That's a glitch in their system. For some reason some people do not receive their correspondence. That's why the only way to find out - is by calling their call center number. It's painful, because you will get to experience the joy of waiting on the line just to hear that they are too busy to...

    Not normal, but this is exactly what happened to many of us. You can log into your ECAS and check there if they had sent you any correspondence (most likely yes). After that just call IRCC and ask them which documents you need to provide (most likely Schedule A and PCC). They will advise you to...

    The same problem many of us are experiencing here. There is a glitch in their system. So what you can do - is call IRCC and ask them which documents have been requested (most likely Police certificates and Schedule A), they will advise you to submit them via their web-form.

    Hey guys, I just got my OWP approval yesterday ( so it took a little less than 2 months...yay). I still can't see any messages on Mycic, but I can see updates, which is good too. Does anybody know what a "first stage approval" is? Is that SA? I need it to get my TRV. Thank you ;)
