Hi,

I am very worried. I applied my OCWP on 13 Jan 2013, and my application was received on 15 Jan 2013. It was an online application. It's been a month now and when I checked online processing time on CIC website, it is showing 58 days. Now, my worry is my lease is getting over 23rd march and I will be moving to a new place. If my OCWP doesn't come in till February 28, I will have to call CIC to change my address, as it says on their website to change address if you are moving within 3 weeks. Now, my worry is what if they mail my OCWP to my new address before 23rd? One of my friend said to me that increases the processing time. I am really worried now. CIC procedure sucks. They are so delayed. My other fiends who applied in November, got their OCWP in after 1 month. Is there anybody who applied in Dec 2012 or Jan 2013, and received their work permit in a month? Please share your timeline.
