I have to disagree. I've done this twice within the last 12 months, first because of a mess up at work after which I had to apply for a change of status from worker to visitor. My status expired on Jan. 1st, 2015, CIC received on Jan 5th. All went well, no complications, got my visitor visa like...

Hi, the OWP will be issued 4 months since the RECEIVAL of your application. So for example, I sent off my application on July 11th, 2015. It was received on July 15th. I called CIC today, and they confirmed my OWP was mailed on Nov. 13th. We got AOR 2 months after CIC received the application...

Alright, got through to CIC: For those who are wondering, call ONLY after the 4 months have passed, otherwise they can't help you. I have 5 days left until it's been 4 months since they received our application, and the guy told me they can't give me any info yet. Fingers crossed all is good and...

Gussy 24, if you apply for a status extension/change BEFORE your current status expires, you're all good. If you apply on paper, make sure you send the application by mail before the expiry date, it doesn't have to be at CIC before the expiry of your permit as long as you mail it before that...

I'm not sure where you got that from, it clearly states that it's needed on the CIC website if you're common-law. IMO, better to send too many documents than too little. It's beneficial to provide that document with your application in case you're common-law, so why not ask the notary sign 2...

Hi all, I'm sending you a link to a Google Doc made by inland applicants. It clarifies the OWP process as well, what to send, where and how to pay etc. INITIAL DOCUMENTS TO BE ENCLOSED IN THE APPLICATION: Document Checklist [IMM 5556], February 2015 Application to Change Conditions, Extend my...

Hi, Yes it did and no it did not. The current reform of the program is made so that skilled professionals are still able to apply, but this petition is to the Government of Canada to realize that there are industries that require foreign workers as well as Canadians. Currently no exceptions are...

Hello dear readers, Below are links to the campaign we have started to keep us foreign workers in Canada. As some of you may already know, the Canadian government decided to shut down the whole Temporary Foreign Worker program, which is obviously bad for companies that cannot survive without...
