There is no problem applying for both. We certainly didn't have any trouble (not even a question) even though we made a note when applying for the PGWP that there was a spousal sponsorship in progress, and that we'd applied for an OWP as well. Apply online for PGWP (that way it's quicker) and...

Good news.... It seems that so long as you apply for a PGWP within 90 days of completing the college program, he is eligible to work while waiting for the PGWP to come through! so you don't have to get him a visitor status or have him stop working. FYI: I did not have to do this for my hubby...

This is similar (though not the same) as what I went through for my hubby. Advise: apply for an OWP as well as a Post Graduate Work Permit (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/study/work-postgrad-how.asp & https://students.ubc.ca/career/career-resources/working-canada/post-graduation-work-permit) for...

Hey, Badi, I hear you! And lots on here empathize with this sorry state of affairs! I hope you hear some positive news very soon.

Hi Badi, We submitted ours early Dec 2016 and got landed on June 27, but we're on the west coast. I think that the outlands have an entirely different processing stream than inlands, and are partly processed by the staff who're in the Cdn embassies ... if you notice, each country has a...

My hubby and I had a landing interview on June 27th in Surrey BC. There were 2 couples in the queue, and we arrived 15 min early. It took only 10 minutes - he had to sign and initial the "confirmation of permanent residence" and she asked him the following questions: "Are you still married to...

@facuvk, A couple of suggestions ... 1. Submit both Police check and upfront medical with your application instead of waiting for CIC to request them - it seems to make the process go faster if you read through the posts on this thread 2. My husband could not submit the police check with the...

Hi facuvk, I don't know if anyone else already answered your question but... Here are the details on how to get a police certificate for Argentina: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/security/police-cert/central-south-amer/argentina.asp Quoted from the CIC website: If you're a citizen...

Hang in there, @tctt, it will come!

Lashen, We were late Dec 2016 applicants, and got SA June 1st.

I saw a response in the thread that a medical request had been sent in error by CIC, but in your case tctt, it might be for real, so definitely check with CIC!! And good luck!

I read earlier in this thread, that this is probably not a good idea since they explicitly state on the website not to send anything that hasn't been requested. So totally nix that comment from me! I don't want to suggest anything that would hinder your app!!

I hear you, tctt, and heartily agree about stressful! When things start happening, they seem to go in a cascade, though, so keep faith! I think they're processing these apps in batches because we see a whole flurry of "Oh, I got my OWP!!" and then "Wow, got my PCC and Sched A" and then "hmmm...

I can confirm what Jiro said. My husband and I flew west coast to east coast without any hassles at all except for the usual travel ones!

Hi Matej, Sorry I'm slow in replying... I'm not online a lot. In response to your questions: 1. The request was an email to my rep's email address with a formal letter attached, no physical letter made it to our doorstep 2. Request was "for the country that he had spent the majority of his...

tctt, There is also a compilation of inland submissions here that shows timeframes... (there's separate tabs for 2016 and 2017).... https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Yn3BFzI4q4xAy4EW3pG4CgQz9o3EzF5b18_tcSJwBhA/edit?pref=2&pli=1#gid=1524155556 Kudos to whoever manages the spreadsheet!

Hi there tctt, My hubby is a late Dec 2016 applicant as well but we submitted the medicals upfront and here is our timeline. I think yours is just a matter of time and might be slightly delayed due to a (likely) forthcoming medical request ... Submitted Dec 8th, 2016 with upfront medical...

My hubby's just arrived in the mail! But I've seen others on the forum get a notification before it arrives. Seems to take about 4 months to process.

Thanks sylvain1, for confirming that! Very much appreciate the support shown on this forum from all.

My hubby got a work permit within 4 months of his submission... when did you apply Gennaro? Chances are you'll receive something in the mail really soon, so hang in there!! It is very easy to get discouraged during the process because of how long it takes, even between statuses, BUT it's well...
