Hi lyvily, Usually the OWP is issued for 4 years, or until your passport expiration date, whichever comes first, because any visa expiration date cannot be issued beyond the passport expiration date. So I guess it's your passport expiration date that leads to your one-year OWP. So if I were...

Sorry, I might not have made myself clear. I think our voices can be heard by the Gov. because she can speak in the Parliament for us. I've seen the video of her speaking about other problems. That's what I meant. I usually don't care about politics, so I might make some mistakes on the titles...

Hi everyone, This is a GREAT CHANCE of having our voices heard by the government! If you are a live-in caregiver in Vancouver, Burnaby or Richmond, Surry, Delta, you are invited to come talk to MP of NDP Jinny Sims about your problems and suggestions on Live-in caregiver Program: Event Date...

Thank you for your support, LC Calgary!!!Hope our Canadian dreams come true faster!!

Hi every live-in caregiver, The processing time for live-in caregivers to get PR is now 40 months in total, three-fold of the 12 month in 2010. Nannies are facing as long as 5.5 years to complete the working and applying process to get their Canadian PR status. During that time, we can neither...

Hi Russian Nanny, Thanks for your support! I will do the same if I had time. I am having a surgery tomorrow and it might be cancerous. I've spend three and half years here in Canada, since I worked here as a nanny. Now that I might not be able to see the day that I get my PR , but I do hope...

Hi everyone, I haven't been here for a long time. I sent my application in MAR. 2011, and then the processing time kept increasing on CIC website. Knowing that I would have to wait for another two to three years before I get my PR, I just didn't want to think about it anymore. It's a torture...

I don't think you will need to renew your WP, because you have already submitted your PR and OWP application last NOv. You'd be already at implied status. You can keep working for same employer. That's what call agent told me. Your sin card can still be used since you have this implied status...

Thanks Honeysweetie! And yes, I have already applied for PR and OWP before I got the extension. So ....hope for the best this time! hehe! I wish I met you earlier though, so I could have avoided my mistake. BTW, That was a very clever way to deal with that problem.

By the way, I wasn't asked to provide a job offer like honeysweetie. I had my contract, employer letter, work permit and passport copy, with a letter explaining the whole situation(why I didn't provide my contract first time when I applied on line), and after around 4 months waiting, I got my...

Hi, everyone, I just got my new work permit in hand! It's been 115 days. I am so relief now, it's been a long and painful process. It all started from last year. My work permit expired in Dec. 2010. So three months in advance, I applied on line for a renewal. And I encountered the same problem...

Hehe, I guess the recent earthquake teaches me a lesson that I should take the most of my every single day, because who knows what's gonna happen tomorrow. I feel sad for people suffering in Japan. God bless us! Good night, Job_seeker, it's really late, take care!

BTW, I decided to apply for my PR and OWP before I get my new work permit, this was the call center agent told me. If I finished my 24 months within my implied status, I can apply. I will attach the copy of my old work permit, as well as a copy of my renewal of work permit which I sent last Nov...

Last time when I call CIC, they told me there is no fax number and I will have to mail it, only at that time, I didn't realize the address will be a issue. I will call tomorrow to find out. Thanks Job_seeker! It's so nice that you always give us help. God bless us!

Yes, that was what I thought too, then it occurred to me that what if they treat it like they deal with work permit application, then they probably won't open it in 115 days, the current processing time. So I am thinking mabye it's the other address: http://General correspondence (general...

Thanks, Jobseekers, you are always so helpful. My employer has issued me the job offer letter, but I will just be honest to CIC, indicate why I didn't provide it in the first place. Now my other concern is where to send it.There are several different address for different situation, the only...

Thank you so much for your quick help! Jobseeker! I have included a letter from my employer stating I have been working for them and they still need my services, and that we are renewing our contract for another 2 years. I don't know if this counted as a job offer letter. I tried to call cic...

Hi, Jobseeker, I really need your help on this one. Thank you in advance! I have already finished my 24 months working as a live-in caregiver, and now I am preparing my PR application and OWP. I know that I can apply for both together, but the thing is my work permit has expired at the end of...

I did check my email everyday, but I didn't receive any mail from them reminding me the contract. And there it was, my first application was refused. Thank God I applied early, which allowed me enough time to reapply before my work permit expired. Anyway, I could still apply in 90 days after my...
