Hey, do you mind elaborating a bit on that? I believe you are referring to citizenship? I thought the duration of 3 years starts once we get the PR?

Really happy for you my friend. You've been super helpful and each one of wished this for you. Please don't leave us and continue to help as you've always done! Party time!

Okay, thanks! That's scary, but it is what it is. I had to apply for it because without it I could have not applied OWP for my spouse. This is a clear flaw in their requirements.

Hey @jacob1234, do you mean that even the existing WP becomes invalid if the WP extension under TR to PR is refused? Even though my PGWP expires in July '23, I had to apply for an extension in June '22 as it was a pre-requisite to apply for Spousal OWP under TR to PR.

Thankfully, because this is an ADR, I can upload it directly to the portal. Yes, might order CBSA notes later. GCMS notes take a hell lot of time.

Thanks. That's exactly what I am going to do. :)

Thanks for the quick response. I have submitted my receipts multiple times in the past. I just do not want to take any risks at this point and will pay the total fee to be safe. Also, they did acknowledge that they received a copy of my receipts along with the application. Once I have the PR...

Hello Folks, I need some urgent advice. I paid all the fees, but I received an ADR stating the following: "We have received your TR to PR application, along with a copy of your payment receipt. Due to a system issue at the time you made your payment, our system currently displays your fees as...

This might be useful for folks who have applied for their spouse's OWP under the temporary public policy for TR to PR pathway announced on 6th June. My understanding was that I need to pay only $155, but not the OWP holder fee of $100 for my spouse as well. However, we got an ADR to submit the...

I had the same question, and I contacted them for the same reason. I connected with them on 23rd April, and my application is still at the same stage. In my personal opinion, I really doubt it makes a difference.

Just managed to speak with the IRCC agent, but as expected, got a disappointing response. My status is basically the same since 15th March and no progress since then. :( Eligibility - Not Started Security - Not Started Criminality - In Progress Medical - Passed Info Sharing - In Progress I...

In this link, did you see the following? "You’re exempt from paying the open work permit holder fee (CAN$100). Don’t pay this fee. You must pay the work permit processing fee (CAN$155). Because you’re exempt from paying one of the fees (open work permit holder fee), you need to pay your fees...

Most likely this means that your medicals expired today. Since you've already received your GCMS notes, you can confirm from them. Under the medical section, you will be able to see some sort of expiry. My guess is that it will be today's date.

I understand the pain. :( Honestly, I would have not been bothered so much had it not had any impact on my spouse. Without PR or OWP my spouse cannot travel to Canada and that is what bothers me the most.

Honestly, we all are trying to speculate and make our best guesses. :) Unfortunately, I have no faith in the whole system as it lacks transparency. Just feeling stuck in the entire process and hoping for the things to turn in our favor.

Please have a look at the policy. Under 'Who can apply', it clearly states the 5 requirements to be eligible for OPW.

Possibly! I was speaking from my own experience. My GCMS notes stated that my medicals are valid till 10th June. Even before 10th June, I was expecting a GU. As expected, I got the GU on 10th June and when I looked at 'Review of medical results' section, it changed from 'Passed' to 'You do not...

Neither, it most likely means that your medicals have expired. When they review the medicals, they set an expiry date for the results. Once that date arrives, it changes to this status automatically. The only downside might be that they might request new medicals. However, it depends on the...

My PGWP expires in 1 year, but I still applied for OWP under TR to PR. I had no option. I had to apply OWP for my outland spouse so that she can be with me. While applying for the family member, I saw the following clause which clearly stated that I too had to apply for the OWP under this public...
