You will get your OWP in the mail after you get your AIP. Chances at the same time since you submitted your OWP in with application.

Here's a question.

So we submitted our app and police checks and medicals,but owp app,do we now have to wait for aip before we submit our owp app or can we send it in now before aip?

No problem. You can submit it any time before the aip but physically not onli

You can submit your OWP application anytime. They will just inform you that they will not process the application until you get your AIP first. If you want to get OWP at same time of getting AIP, you should submit it in paper application as early as possible so that your OWP is ready to be process and ready by AIP status. If you wait until after you get AIP, you have option to apply online for OWP. It may be faster but not 100% sure on that.

Same happened to me, my spouse still have our old address is his driver's licence which is just a different apartment in the same building, so he thinks is a waste of time to change it. Yesterday in my landing interview the officer didn't even ask him anything, we joked that I could go with anybody and they wouldn't even know if be was my spouse, for what I notice and I read in another thread here, you sponsor (if they ask about proof of living together could show any document which proof you live together) is up to the person to show whatever they want, but most of the cases they don't even ask the sponsor for that. Good luck tomorrow and one more thing read carefully your COPR before you signed dot be like me lol now I have to fill out some forms for the correction of my original entry to canada

Thanks Karito for the advice! I will still bring every other documents just in case they really ask for it. Oh, and I appreciate for reminding me about COPR. I will totally read every word and make sure the dates are correct. Hope everything will go smoothly tomorrow!! I've had so many good experience, great information sharing and encouragement in this forum. I'm grateful to have met all of you here.

Good luck to neyuli on your landing and becoming a PR today.

Hi all,

First I'd like to thank Screech for the good luck this early morning!

I just got back from the interview. It was pretty quick, we only had to wait about 10 mins to get called inside the room. This Kitchener office is pretty small so not many couples were present when we were there. The immigration officer who interviewed us was really laid-back. He made me double check everything on the COPR and then initial and sign where applicable. He didn't even ask my sponsor a single question. He also said that all of this information will be sent to Nova Scotia for the process of the PR card and i will receive the card in the mail in 4 to 6 weeks, which i know is a total lie, lol . It probably takes way longer than that. Then he asked if I had any questions, and I asked about my traveling plan to the States with the COPR and he said it's no problem if I travel by car. Exactly what Screech has told me - credit to Screech! That's it. I became a PR as of today. Then, there was a lady from Service Canada at one of the counter so I proceeded to get my permanent SIN number and DONE! Nothing has changed since I signed the paper but I feel more confident and more as one with this country for some reason lol. Last but not least, thank you everyone for helping me through this long and suspenseful process. I wish all the best to all of you and that good news will come to you soon!!

ps: I'm not ready to leave the forum yet so i will still hang around for now

Your legal status in Canada has changed. Once you are a PR you have most of the rights of citizens, like the right to enter Canada (which for PRs is a right as a matter of law, while for Citizens it is a right guaranteed by the Charter). You have the right to live and work anywhere in Canada. You can't vote, though, and there are some jobs which are restricted to citizens.

Congratulations!

Congrats neyuli!!!

Finally we got a letter requesting where we've traveled for the last 6 month so they can have "an extension of medical result".
Well, we can't go anywhere really. But since OWP, we drove across the border a few times.
Does that mean will we get another DM? Or we will be getting a landing interview date soon???
Pretty frustrated...

Answering my own question
www dot cic dot gc dot ca/english/resources/tools/medic/assess/cert.asp

So the condition for reassessment for a new medical certificate are:
Final decision pending only due to the expiration of the medical certificate OR the validity of the medical certificate is about to expire and the client is unable to land before it (Responsibility of Visa/ Immigration Officer)

Since hubby's medical exam was done less than 15 months ago, hopefully we will get a new medical certificate and be given a landing interview soon.

Okay, I've checked the mail today, so it's official. 10 months today since app was received, and nothing since AOR. Blerg.

CIC's lucky that we have plenty of booze in the house, some fresh corn on the cob, and some steaks for the grill tonight, or I might start a riot or something, lol.

Congrats to those who've landed or received landing dates! It's at least nice to know that there ARE still some human beings doing some work at CIC. SURELY they'll have to get around to my AIP soon. Surely...right?!?!?!? Bonne fin de semaine, my fellow immigrants. Once the hubby gets off work and we hit the gym, I'm going to shower off and get DRUNK.

Hello everyone

received my DM yesterday (23rd of August). Vancouver office will contact me, so probably another 2 months of waiting until the actual landing.
