Wow, this worked perfectly! I tried so many methods over the last few weeks but this is the only one that actually worked- thanks for sharing!

Alright, it's all sent off and we quintuple checked everything as being correct. Fingers crossed, thank you all so much for the help!

Oh, thank you so much! That's a huge help, I appreciate that. I also really appreciate the quick reply, you rock.

Hey, so I just got my marriage license and am applying for the OWP. I had a question you(or anyone else) might be able to answer it. On the- "Does one of the following apply to you? " question(for the questionare on their website), I can't say yes on any of them, as far as I can tell. Because...

Gotcha. Just wanted to double check since I know it's very important to send off asap. Thank you guys for the help! :)

Do you think it would be worth it to send my OWP immediately with the a letter of explanation as to why we don't have a scan of our marriage cert? We've already ordered a copy and paid for it, but it says mailing will take 2-5 business days. That is the only piece we would be waiting on before...

Yeah, thank you! We've already sent off the PR app last month and will be sending the OWP in before my visitor status expires for sure.

Great, thank you so much! You've been such a huge help.

Good to know! I did have two more questions if you don't mind- Would the OWP permit me to stay in Canada without the need to continue extending my visitor status, or would I need to continue to apply for extensions? And if so, do you know the amount of time an OWP typically allows you to stay...

Yes, I put in the request specifically for the extension and not my PR app. Hopefully that can shed more light on the reason why. Good to know, thank you. I'll apply for my OWP while my visitor status is still valid for sure, so hopefully there won't be any snags along the way with that. Once...

Well, she checked something and confirmed there wasn't anything on her end. I did already submit the request for more information and paid that fee as well. Yes, absolutely. I'll be doing everything in my power to remain as a valid visitor. I do have a question- is it possible for my OWP to be...

Yeah- I believe that is what she meant as far as staying; only once the PR is in progress. Until that time, I'll be resubmitting my extension and submitting my OWP. Although, I did ask what she recommended doing if it was declined again and she recommended staying in Canada. I have her employee...

Great to know, thank you. I just got off the phone from the phone number provided on their website and the employee confirmed that I am valid to continue my stay, and suggested to file the work permit. She explicitly told me that although I don't have implied status while the PR is pending, she...

Yes, you're right. We should have absolutely started the process sooner into my visit here- we started it about 5 months into my stay and it's been a huge process. I wish I could go back in time and start it before coming to Canada, or the moment I landed. I didn't apply for an OWP with the PR...

Yeah, it was unfortunately. I did include proof of my PR application in my visitor extension, but since it's not active I guess that doesn't 'count' unfortunately. I know about the implied status- I'm still in status because I submitted my visitor extension well in advance. I submitted it in...

Yeah, for a big portion of this we were dealing with an issue that prevented us from submitting the PR. (incorrectly issued medical bills that my partner wasn't aware of, due to an issue in one year of his taxes that ended up taking a big chunk of time to fix) And after that, we had to wait for...

The only thing I can think of- it was on the application that we needed to include a photocopy of our marriage certificate, but we were unable to provide that as the PR application required we send the original. I did include a text document with a copy of our PR application receipt and an...

Hi, I'm really hoping someone can help. I'm panicking a bit here. I recently sent off my permanent residency package, and sent off my visitor extension a few days later. The PR is still pending but I just got rejected for my visitor extension?! I've been living here as a visitor for almost 2...

Also, do I need to redate and signature all my papers?? Or do I need to redate the new paper that previous was the electronic signature? Or can I leave the old dates? Thank you in advance for anyone willing to give me a bit of help!

Hey there, so I electronically signed one of my forms but I guess that isn't good enough, because it got returned. I assumed it would work fine since I could electronically sign for all my visitor extensions, but oh well. It says once we fix this we can resubmit. Do we have to repay any fees...
