INLAND APPLICATIONS 2012

Quick question about the spreadsheets.

The Inland 2011 spreadsheet shows the average time between AIP and Stage 2 as being 3 weeks.

Is that true? Was it that fast last year? If so, why do they show 8 months on the website?

The 2012 spreadsheet shows the average as 2 months. Did it slow down last year?

Just wondering if anyone has the scoop on this...

I cannot speak for the 2011 spreadsheet but I can for 2012. The actual time is probably much longer than the 2 months showing on the spreadsheet. The reason it is showing 2 months is because it is an average of the time between AIP and Stage 2 for those that have passed this point. What is skewing this is that 2 people actually received stage 2 on the same day as their AIP. I would suggest that you focus on the dates that CIC is using as a timeline otherwise if you assume anything else you are very likely going to be dissapointed. I can assure you as the 2012 spreadsheet moves forward the time will most certainly increase. I have also been informed by some people that the 2011 spreasheet is not being maintained anymore. I believe that the originator has moved on and not passed the control onto anyone else.

Thanks

That seems a reasonable explanation.

Hi, I was one of those people who did not apply for OWP with my PR application and I'm tired of waiting for the DM for the PR. So I decided to apply for OWP. I was wondering how long would it take for me to get the OWP? I was waiting for my PR as I heard from a CIC officer that after receiving first approval withing 3 months I should be getting my PR but I did not received anything yet and I do not want to sit at home and do nothing anymore. Thanks in advance.

Current times are posted on the CIC website. As of just now when I looked it's 83 days for a paper application and 78 days for an online application.

So figure 3 months.

The application fee is $150

You take the work permit to Service Canada and they assign you a temporary SIN on the spot.

Thank you computergeek. Now I'm in dilemma. Should I wait until I get my PR which according to CIC officer I should be getting it soon as I have got my first approval letter on 21st September? Or apply for a work permit and get it in 78 days? Desitions desitions desigions. Do any of you received their OWP in less then 78? I believe 78 days is the maximum.

If you land before they process your work permit application, they refund the fee.

 

[pearl75]

Sorry but what you mean "land" ? I'm already in Canada. Do you mean if I receive PR before they start procession my OWP application? Sorry it is late and my brain does not work after 7pm Thanks again!

I'm not sure whether I should call CIC and even if I do would it make any difference? I see you are already landed computergeek and it seems you have applied exactly 1 months after I sent my applicaion which is in Feb 6th. I wonder why my application is taking so long? They did not contacted us asking any additional document. We have used a lawyer to make sure that we don't make any mistakes when filling the form. So I don't think there is anything that they need or may be I should contact our lawyer(I hate that bugger! ) ?

Hi guys. I think I got AIP. I have not received any email, but the online status shows DM. I called CIC today, and the representative told me it has been approved and the letter is on its way.
