Terki,

Your inputs have clarified most of my doubts .Thank you for that.

My employer specific work permit expires by Dec 2014.so my spouse has open work permit till Dec 2014.
Now that i am no longer working,i wanted to try and apply for OWP asap.Incase i succeed in getting BOWP sooner by quoting my case(lay off) for e.g:- if i am able to get BOWP by Dec 2013 for 1 year ,do you think my spouse can continue with existing OWP or need to apply for BOWP along with me?That part is still not clear to me.please advise.Thanks again.

So far I know, background verification can take from months to years depending upon individuals. If you have been not ask for medicals they have have probably extended them or asked for extension. The only thing we can do is wait for them. Unfortunately, we don't have any other alternatives.

NOTE THIS : if u have applied PR under FSW2 u must remain in same job tied to employer till wp expiry or grant of PR - no exceptions apply
BOWP - u r not eligible under your circumstances - dont query elsewhere - believe me this is the rule and dont tweak any applications and loose time/money

hope this helps my friend

Hi All,

Today i received my CAIPS. As expected nothing has started on my file. Not even Background/criminality check. Ottawa shucks.
I am FSW1-MI2. Don't know when i will get some communication from Ottawa. I see few people who applied after me are getting medical request and updated document request.

Thanks,
Andy

It thus seems that it is better to refrain from requesting for status updates either by email or GCMS.In fact I wonder how we come across to them--desperate-I think.

TQF is the abbrivation of Fedral skilled worker in French language. This is a department in ottawa where they hold the files and if anyone ask the information from their file they quickly access the file and reply to the inquirer.

My Timeline is almost close to you. I didn't get any updates from my application. CIC is just saying your application is in queue for review by an officer. I asked CIC to give me at least a timeline because I have to renew my permits, but they didn't say anything. We have to wait, not other solution.
