I got told on October 20th that they would need time to review my background checks (which now say have had since June 15th 2014) and I could call back October 15th 2015!! I wrote an email immediately to Chris Alexander's office. Was called for a new medical 3 days later so am hoping this means they are finally moving on my application. Which I completed last Saturday.
My OWP expired October 2nd, they would let me apply online as they originally told me to and I'm still waiting for it now (received September 10th). If not here in a week, which is not going to happen as currently working on August 15th ones, my driving license expires too and I then will struggle to get to work until I can renew it with my OWP.
My SIN obviously also expired and my work got their legal counsel involved who said it's fine to work without it while on implied status. Thankfully.
So, like others, I'm back to waiting on decisions again...
