I also applied for OWP April 30th, 6 months after my initial PR application. I haven't heard back yet, but fortunately I think I can keep working under implied status because of my existing OWP (post-grad), which is expiring July 30th. Otherwise, it's super stressful to wait for these paperworks...

Hey, I tried what you did and got the exact same message too. My paper application was sent April 30th. I'm guessing that the application shows up because you paid for the OWP fee online, so the system recognizes that an application has been open. But on the Vergeville side, they have yet to...

October 23rd 2017 applicant here. I got my medical request yesterday and scheduled for May 7th, so it's about 6 months since my original application. I also sent in my OWP application to Vergerville last Friday April 27 b/c my current GOWP is expiring the end of July 2018. Would it be...

you're a godsend! I looked at the checklist (IMM5556E) and the following documents are needed: IMM5710: I select the option for an "initial work permit/new employer". My current work permit is a post-grad WP and as I'm a contractor, I plan to continue doing my contracting work after this is...

May I ask what other forms and documents besides IMM5710E are needed for the spousal open work permit? I'm looking at the checklist (IMM5556E) but it seems generic and doesn't really mention specifics for the spousal OWP. I submitted my PR application back in October and am thinking of...

correct me if I'm wrong, but I think CIC will only issue work permit and visa for as long as your wife's passport is valid. You might have to apply for a new passport and then start your work permit application then if you want to make sure the work permit will cover the time after her current...

I think I've done fucked up. I received the request for Schedule A and police certificate in late December. I only sent the schedule and no police certificate because, as explained in a placeholder letter, I thought that since I've been living in Canada since I was 18 and only visited my home...

Does this mean you apply for OWP after sending in the PR application by paper? I'm actually looking to do the same if I don't have PR when my PGWP expires later this year so I'm also interested in the answer. Sorry I couldn't answer your question, but Lou Bega is the bomb.

Are you 100% sure about this? OP has said s/he has lived in Canada primarily since s/he was 17. The AoR I received, which I assume is standard says police certificate is required for: 1) The country where you currently live, if you have lived there for six months or more; and 2) The country...

I have a question about police certificate requirements for Canada. I've lived primarily in Canada since I was 16 (2008) and never spent more than 6 months straight in my home country (I visited maybe 2 months max in a year). I received my AoR which is requesting my Schedule A and Police...

I got my Work Permit in the end but I felt like CIC really messed it up big time. My work permit was approved in December 2015 and I've lost opportunities because of that :/ And it is only valid until July 2018! Meanwhile, my friend who applied the same time as me, got hers in September 2015...

Hi all, I got my Open Work Permit after I graduated from university. It is set to expire in July 2018 and I'm currently putting together my Spousal Sponsorship application (my Canadian husband is sponsoring me). I'm also applying to extend my Work Permit in order to continue my current...

Thought I should update anybody in the same situation as me on the issue: So after talking to my lawyer right away after the rejection letter, he agreed that the rejection reasons were complete nonsense and that he should be able to rectify that. Turns out the problem was I used my end-of-term...

I'm reviving a dead post here, but that is because it takes CIC 60 days to reply to my messages... Anyway, I realized that I was mistaken about my application being denied in September 2015; it actually was "open" at the time and all they wanted was the $100 in addition to the original fee. I...

Thank you for your advice. Another thing I'm concerned with is that my student permit and visa had both expired on July 31, 2015, so right now I'm supposed to be in implied status, allowing me to remain in Canada. But since the refusal decision was made and I'm waiting for a hopeful reopening...

Hi, I've just totally discovered this forum after frantically googling about my situation and found out that some people have the same situation as me, but there was no satisfactory answer so here it goes again: I applied for my PGWP on May 6th, the day that I received my final transcript. My...
