    I hope so too! I got my ITA on Jan 31st. Did medicals Feb 5th (they were submitted Feb 14th). Submitted my application Feb 19th and got my online acknowledgement the following day. I found out in May that CIC had mis-filled my medicals - ( I had to wait 3 months before they would check to...

    EE who waiting more than 2 months after AOR join here

    Yey - I finally got my medical passed today! I submitted my application Feb 19th so it has been a long nearly 5 month wait. Maybe there is still a chance that I might get PR in the 6 months they are supposed to be aiming for...

    BOWP refused with EE AOR, what now?

    Your situation sounds very similar to the one I am in. I applied for a BOWP on March 2nd with my automated AOR. My PR application has not seen any progress. The work permit application was refused on May 6th (although I got the official notification on May 14th). I put in a request to...

    EE who waiting more than 2 months after AOR join here

    I got a second AOR last week. I was hoping that it would say that my application had been checked for completeness. However, it was identical to the first one I got, other than it said that the application was received on Feb 20th, rather than January 31st. It still says my application is...

    This happened to me too. The doctor had submitted the medicals correctly on Feb 12th, but it turned out CIC had mis-filed them. I was told to wait 3 months after the date it was transmitted, then the CIC agent was able to send a note to their medical team to look in to it. They contacted the...

    EE who waiting more than 2 months after AOR join here

    My ECAS changed today too - still 'in process' and only 2 lines, but it updated to the date they received the application (Feb 20), and 'we started processing your application on April 14, 2015'. I have no idea what the significance of April 14 is unless this is when they created the file as it...

    Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) - Eligibility/ Instructions updated on CIC

    This is really interesting thanks for sharing. I was refused a BOWP on May 6th because the visa officer said that I "didn't have an AOR". I submitted the AOR from the express entry as part of my online application. My AOR states that "Your application is being checked to determine whether it...

    BOWP - March Applicants

    I got this letter and the day after got refusal letters saying the BOWP applications for myself and my husband had been declined. We had paid 2x $155 application fees, plus 1 x $100 for the open work holder fee. I looked into it and in the event the application is refused, they will refund...

    Yes I was under FSW initially - you are probably correct!

    EE who waiting more than 2 months after AOR join here

    I had my open work permit application rejected last week due to me not having submitted a PR application or got an AOR. As I applied for PR on Feb 19th, this doesn't make sense and we are appealing. However, I called CIC to check there wasn't a problem with the PR application which might have...

    BOWP - March Applicants

    An update for those of you keeping an eye on processing times (although not that positive). I applied for a BOWP online on March 2nd. I heard yesterday from my MP (through their CIC contact - its a long story) that my BOWP was refused on March 5th. Notification in the mail, but I confirmed...

    Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) under express entry - connect here

    I just explained that I'd heard my application had been refused and asked them to look into my application to find out what the situation was. They were able to find my application and see the notes that the visa officer had added with the reason for refusal. There was already a request on...

    Bridging Open Work Permit (BOWP) under express entry - connect here

    So yesterday I found out my BOWP application I made online on March 2 was refused because "I hadn't submitted a PR application and hadn't received an AOR". Apparently all the visa office could see on their system was my old CEC application from 2014 which was returned. I submitted my PR...

    EE who waiting more than 2 months after AOR join here

    Yes you're correct..... It's been almost a year since I started trying to get a PR application processed (starting with an AINP nomination application last June, then a failed CEC application which was returned in January as the cap was met) - I seem to have been really unlucky with the whole...

    EE who waiting more than 2 months after AOR join here

    I'm in to week 11 now with no updates - everything, even medicals, still says not needed at this time. My work permit expired at the end of March. I've got a BOWP application which is due any day, but if they reject it or cancel my PR application we have no Plan B. I'm still not certain...

    Received ITA but having problems with the online application

    Hi, Yes I did get my application in eventually. There were a few other people on the forum having similar issues and it turned out to be a bug with the education history section. I'd been at school in the UK where there are two separate stages of high school (11 to 16 and 16 to 18). I'd...
