Inland Application 2011

[qw123]

hey
I was just wondering about owp. My work permit expired last june, and I applied for residency in last Jan. I thought I did not need to apply for work permit due to implied status, but I was wrong. So now I am applying for owp, I was wondering if I need to submit the $200 for restoration or just $150 for the work permit. I have AIP received back in Jan 2012
Thanks

Hi, you can do it online and will take less than 5 bus days. If you already have AIP just do OWP online and paid $150...u just got exempted from restoration with that AIP so no need for (the extra) $200.

Hi everyone. I sent my PR application in January 2012. During that time, I did not include an OWP application. Just want to ask if what's the best option now. Should I:

1. Send OWP application now?
My worry is it currently takes 4-5 months for them to open new envelopes. I'm afraid that the OWP processing department might not approve it upon receipt because I have no AIP yet.

2. Apply online upon receipt of the AIP?
Under this option, I'm concerned about the additional waiting time from AIP to OWP processing, to SIN application. I've been jobless for a long time now. So I want to rush things to start working ASAP.

What do you think?


Thanks and good luck to all of us

Hi, it all depend on you just know that with the date of you app the earlier the better since you still have a lots of time. But just to clarify a point, the time it take cic to open letters depends on time period and loads. i called cic 2 days ago they said they are opening letters received march 29. so meaning it will take a month to open you owp letter if you sent it out.

Depends on CIC Montreal...
Officially, it takes one month after decision made letter and if you do not get any information in one month, you must call them.
In my case, it took me 5 days (guess probably because I did not pay CAD$490 in advance) to receive letter from CIC Montreal, they requested me to pay the payment and all other stuffs for them to schedule the interview. And I sent everything, it took them one month to schedule my interview.

As for my friend's case, it took her two weeks to receive letter from CIC Montreal (probably because she already paid her CAD$490 long ago) but then she received the letter which scheduled her interview in two weeks after. And it turns out that she got her interview the same day as me.

PR card will probably issued 4~6 weeks after your interview, it has to depend on their schedule.

Thank you for the reply. For your friend's case, are you indicating she actually receives two letter from CIC montreal? I know the second letter is for the interview schedule, what's that all about for the first one? Did she receive the first letter two weeks after she got DM letter or after she found out online status changed to DM?

from additional info required letter, to "i mailed that", DM for me was 9 days after i believe, local cic office suggested not asking applying for owp, as they move just as quick scheduling "landing interviews".

October 11, 2011 - Application recieved
December 28, 2011- start processing

How long does it take for the letter to arrive after DM ?

 

[BestPlace]

Give them a call and see what they have to say.

Hi Irishred, when you submitted your application did you submit meds and police clearance or you waited for them to ask?
