I'm filling out the form for the OWP. Is it okay to just leave all the employer information blank? My husband can't start looking for a job until he gets the OWP.

Yep! As it's an open work permit that you are applying for, you won't have any employer info. Leave it blank. I would, however, put the intended occupation and intended location if you can. For instance, I put teacher in Winnipeg. However, this may change but that's not really a concern.

I would also attach a separate piece of paper to the OWP stating that your intention is to file for an OWP and that, as such, there is no employer information. CIC is pretty smart :)

These are the things I did when sending in my OWP with my inland PR app.
 
question i forgot to seek the answer to:

So as I have an AOR now (THANK yOU CIC GODS!), what can I show to prove my legal status in Canada? Can I show the AOR notification from my spouse's email?

My visitors visa expires in June, but we won't file again as I am under implied status for the PR app.

Hi yes, print the AOR that is what my friend used when he needed to get a police clearance in Calgary and renew his passport from the Philippine Embassy in Vancouver. His work visa expired too.
 
thanks so much!
 
hello!!! I just discovered this forum.
You can include me in the 2012 spreadsheet: Application received: 11th July 2012, AIP: 15th January 2013. I never received the AOR.
 
Hello guys!!

Im so exited!! I got yesterday on the mail my CSQ (Im in Quebec) So now I have to go do the medicals and the asked me to re do my police checks :( ....

I sent with all my papers an OWP application, I'm I gonna get it soon? They haven't tell me anything about it so I have no idea!!

Another thing is: I cant access to check my status anymore!! A few weeks ago we were able to see it was in process, I received the CSQ and the letter asking for medical and police checks and now I cant access! Is this happening to any of you or is just me?
 
Hello all! I just added myself to the forum. Can somebody add me to the spreadsheet?

Application received on June 6 2012. No AOR email received. AIP received November 28 2012. Medicals sent December 21 2012 and received January 7 2013. Police certificates sent with application on June 6 2012.

Cheers and good luck all!

There's some sort of issue with e-CAS. Many people are reporting issues of exactly this type - so don't think this means anything is wrong with your application (it isn't.)
