Kiwi you are in Ottawa right. I have spent 7 years in Ottawa, and i still miss it. :S
hi cmilo , i phoned the CIC two days back and ask them about my status or when can I receive the AIP but they told me I just have to wait no definite answer :Cmilo said:I think im going crazy...
i cant wait anymore
im getting really depressed
when do you think I might get an answer?
:S
and its quiet too depressing its gonna be one month since I got my CSQ . I just hope this will be over soon .hello Asta, just one question here as you said If you request for OWP ,Then u dont need to extend ur visa? Because i keep on extending my visitors visa every 6 mos for a year now while waiting for my spouse sponsorship for PR to stay legal. I didnt apply for OWP till now. If I decide to apply soon for OWP does it mean I dont need to extend my visa anymore ? Thank you in advanceAsta said:did u send ur application already? if not, u have to add application for open work permit and pay 150. sending it together with application will get ur OWP together with AIP. if u sent ur application without OWP then have to request for it after u receive AIP. if u sent application just now u can send OWP request separately and in cover letter ask them to add it to ur application and ask to procede it AFTER they grant ur AIP. and write that on the envelope of OWP request, that "to procede after AIP" or smth like that. cause they sometimes mess it up and procede ur OWP before AIP and ofcourse deny it. and ur money is wasted. so best way to request for OWP - together with application or after AIP.
what about visa extention? u have to have a legal status in Canada. when ur visa expires? if u request for OWP, then u dont need to extend ur visa. hope that helps. ask if smthing is not clear
I am in Edmonton, and basically you can drive to Vegreville in an hour.. so I am not sure the people who works there are actually from Vegreville. They may live in Edmonton, but drive down there to work. You never know.kiwikris said:96 pages wowsers, wonder how long mine will be...
Yes in Ottawa and I think it is crazy the extreme differences in temperature lol but I enjoy it here ;D
How do you find Alberta? I have not been there...yet
Lol just saw that the population of Vegreville is just over 5000, hmmm wonder how many of them work at CIC!
.... Plus ther weather is dry here....
Yes you are CORRECT. If you have a work permit then you do not need to renew your visitor record. Possession of Work Permit itself put you under people with status category.PUZZLED said:
Yes it does have an expiry date. But with an open work permit you are eligible for work anywhere in Canada, and you will also be eligible for Provincial Health Care. Plus you can have a Driving License too. So it is worth it to spend extra $75.PUZZLED said:Thank you adzees for the reply , does OWP has expiration date too like how long they will issue OWP? Because I was just wondering for the extension of visitors visa its $75 and for OWP its $150 , its double the fee :
Well PUZZLED, you have to think on it this way. With a work permit you get more privilege than just visitor status.PUZZLED said:Thank you adzees for the reply , does OWP has expiration date too like how long they will issue OWP?
