Dont worry, do you have AIP yet ? I guess not by your posts, you may have to attend an interview with it being sent to local office or interview may be waived , its the Immigation officers discretion either way. Hopefully you will be waived then your app will be straight foward .

My ECAS said exactly the same and when it was updated to ' we transfered your file to local office and they may contact you' they did for an interview and ECAS was NOT updated for over 12 months. Your case could be different.
Oh so that means that the interview could be waived and i could actually get aip and landing interview at the same time?

haven't been on this in awhile....

we have great news...my fiance received his PR on Feb 28th in Hamilton. Was a fairly easy process...the "interview" that is. The hardest part was waiting to be honest.

Advice for applicants, make sure you read everything through and fill out everything correctly...make sure you attach what is needed. If you do that and have nothing to hide, its pretty straight forward!

My question is for those who received AIP and applied for the open work permit.

When getting the OWP forms done which documents did you include? What did you write as a reason for applying for OWP? I don't have a job offer!
I am using the IMM1249 form and on the checklist there is not an option for AIP letter, should I include it anyway?

I appreciate if somebody can help me out.

You need to choose "an initial work permit" (option C). Just write that you are applying for OWP because you have AIP or something along that lines. Job offer is not important. Good luck :D

Wow ...I guess Im being lazy ..thanks for the link

Edit. it doesnt say that I should include my info as a spouse (I have a Pr) I guess I have to fill in only my wifes information since she is the only person applying for WP right ? we dont have any children or dependant children.
