Hi Everyone,

I would like to hear how long did you wait for AOR?

Especially those of you applying for extending your work permit afterwards. I am wondering if its a matter of days weeks or months.

Or perhaps some of you sent your request to extend the work permit together with your PR application?

Thanks a lot

Hi MissJustice,

When I was applying last year it was ~ 90 days. I was reading one person applied on Feb 2nd and got AOR on Mar 22nd. So ~50 days.

perhaps some of you sent your request to extend the work permit together with your PR application? This option will not work. U need to get AOR to apply for work permit. Lets say if your application incomplete, they send it back and you do not get AOR.

In addition take a look here why it is NOT good idea to send work permit application with PR application:

The case processing centre in Vegreville processes:

extensions for temporary resident status and temporary resident permits
work and study permits
applications for permanent residence from protected persons and convention refugees in Canada
applications for permanent residence for live-in caregivers
applications for permanent residence under Caring for Children and Caring for People with High Medical Needs pathways
applications for permenent residence under the temporary resident permit holder class
loans for the right of permanent residence fee

The CPC in Sydney processes:

applications for permanent resident cards (new and renewals)
citizenship applications (new, renouncing, revoking and resuming)
The centralized intake office in Sydney (CIO-S) receives all applications in the following categories:

Federal Skilled Worker
Federal Skilled Trades
Canadian Experience Class
Provincial Nominee Program
Start-Up Visa
Quebec Investors or Entrepreneurs
Quebec Skilled Workers
Immigrant Investor Venture Capital Class
Federal Self-Employed Persons and Quebec Selected Self-Employed Persons

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/index.asp

As u can see different offices process work permits and PR PNP

Are u SINP, why do u say PNP takes 3 months?

Hi Anton,
Thank you for your input. I appreciate it.

I am under the Skilled Worker category. Current processing time for BC PNP applications is 3 months. I just saw that someone else has been waiting 4 months for their nomination.. also BC, different category.

I just have to hope for the best. Am I seeing it right that you got yours after 1 week? Incredible.
