Well I think that is probably more of a recommendation than a rule. Usually if you already have valid status you won't have a problem extending it anyway so it isn't really needed to send in an OWP during the process anyway. I think the reason it isn't recommended is because it can get lost and also because they may actually refuse it so it can confuse IO's. It really is just better to send it with the initial submission or after though. Also, it is true that you can't really find where it talks about sending in an OWP with the application. Which you think they would. Well I guess that is why the advice on here so important though. To find out things you wouldn't have found on your own.Inlandappl said:It is funny how this whole info about work permit gets so confusing sometimes. when i applied in the first place i didn't know that i could send the application for the OWP together with my inland application..(by the way i haven't found a single line in the CIC website that talks about it)......so i didn't do it....then i found this forum and there were some people that told me on this forum that you could send it later putting the phrase "do not process until AIP" ...some other people on this forum said it was not possible to send it at a later date before AIP....so i called the call centre...and what did the lady tell me on the phone? "NO SIR YOU CANNOT SEND AN OWP APPLICATION BEFORE AIP. If you didn't enclose it in your original application then you have to wait for AIP to apply".....confusing and senseless bureucracy......
anyway, i was approved for 1 st and 2 nd stage together but i don't have a work permit, so i will wait for my landing interview. don't feel like spending 150 dollars now, do more papers and wait for a month anyway.....Cheers!!! ;D ;D ;D
Oh okay do not worry about it. Just wanted to make sure I had the right thing. I will update it very soon and you are welcome. Haha that makes like the 5th or 6th time I have had that recommendation. Maybe I should? Lol. I hope we get our work permits soon. Let's enjoy the long weekend off though. And yes I do have FB.tita said:Sorry love young yeah i made a mistake, i tought i should be in august because it was the last day of july, but now i see they really work monthly, you can update this information thank you for all your work here! you should become a immigration consultant! ecas shows received 31 of july
