Perfect, thanks very much!

Hey guys! My OWP just got approved today. Can I get a SIN without the physical work permit if I bring all the relevant reference numbers and photo ID? Or do I need to wait for it to arrive in the mail and go to Service Canada with it? Thanks! EDIT - I just went to Service Canada and was told...

Thanks for the advice. Much appreciated!

Ok great, thanks. So I shouldn't be worried that my OWP hasn't been approved yet, even though a lot of other people who applied in March got theirs last month? That's what I'm seeing on the spreadsheet here...

Thanks for your reply. It was received March 14th. 4 months later is mid-July. I'm asking because I've read here that AIP can take A LOT longer than 4 months, whereas I've been told by CIC that the OWP window is around 4 months. And I've been told one thing (that my OWP is connected to my...

Thanks for your reply. I technically was, but I applied online to restore status as a visitor (I lost my implied status when my PR/OWP application was returned due to failure to sign a form) before reposting my PR/OWP applications. My status was restored before I received AOR. I have since...

Wow, a lot of people are getting their OWP quick! I thought the processing time was 4 months?

Hi everyone, My local MP's office called to enquire about my PR + OWP application (inland, family class, sponsored by my wife), and was told that the OWP can only be issued once the PR is at the "first stage of approval". Is this the same as approval in principle? Many thanks for your help!

This is for an inland application for PR with open work permit sponsored by my wife. I have my medical exam scheduled on Friday, and I was just wondering if anyone knew the average turnaround time for the open work permit would be at this point. This is assuming no further documents are needed...

I'm currently living in Canada and applying for permanent residence (sponsored by my Canadian wife) and don't have the right to work in Canada yet, so I'm trying to figure out all my options for making money without a Canadian work permit. Would it be legal for someone in my position to work...

Hey guys. This might be a stupid question, but I'm getting paranoid and don't want my application to be returned again. I'm being sponsored by my Canadian wife for permanent residence. Questions 1 on IMM 008 asks for the "Program under which you are applying" and question 2 asks "Category...

Is this what I need to do? http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1250&top=16

Many thanks. I've tried Googling and am getting very confused. Would you be able to provide a link explaining what I need to do in order to restore my status to visitor? Or just tell me what to Google? Thank you in advance, I really appreciate the help.

hough Many thanks for your help. I'm currently very confused though. I spoke to IRCC and they sent me the following: " Restoration - Worker You can request to restore your status in Canada if it has expired within the past 90-day period. The application is available on our website. You can...

Hi guys My PR and OWP were returned yesterday as I had an older version of one of the forms. EDIT - my initial application was by post. I have therefore lost my implied status, and will reapply for it to be restored today. I will also stop working today. My question: can I resubmit my PR and...

Hi Andy, Thank you so much for this. I can't believe they're so misleading. I've quoted the entire email I received from them above, which directly says I'm allowed to keep working while on implied status! I'm not from the US, so an outland application isn't going to be feasible. I don't see...

Hi Andy. Thanks very much for this. Why is CIC giving out incorrect information? Here is a screenshot from the email they sent: https://pasteboard.co/I35dtvM.png As you can see from the last section, you can understand my confusion! I see my timeframe for restoring status is 90 days. My IEC...

Hi Andy. Thanks very much for your help. Interestingly, I spoke to CIC and they sent me a confirmatory email saying that as long as I had applied for PR+OWP before my IEC visa expired - which I did - then I could remain in the country and work under the same conditions as my IEC.

Thanks. What do I do? Could I still work?

Hey guys, My PR (sponsored by my spouse) and OWP were returned yesterday due to being incomplete - we had an older version of one of the forms. We submitted the applications in December, but I'm currently on implied status as my IEC visa expired in January. My question - do I still have...
