INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

[sophieee]

How long did yours take to come in?

I'm waiting on mine still.....

I got mine this week, exactly 30 days after requesting.

Thank you for the reply. Yes we submitted a OWP application together with the sponsorship. So we don't need to apply for extension then because of the implied status?

You're right, if you sent an OWP with your application, she's going to have implied status when the current status run out. You're all good then!
I thought you were asking because no OWP was sent with the application!

So since they didn’t update the website, I have finally reached the 11 months that they have listed as the processing time. Today is exactly 11 months since our Application was received. I called in to CIC and was told they do not measure it by the months of processing time listed, it’s by the date – in this case July 22. So we cannot yet have an email sent to CPC-M regarding our case.

I also asked her to check if my husband’s medical is marked as expired or not, since we did the original in June 2013. She said the notes aren’t clear, and she isn’t sure. Apparently there is some notation about September, but she wasn’t sure what it meant. I asked if we should just get another one done, and she said no, it’s best to wait until we hear from them. I asked if that wouldn’t actually slow the process down, and she said no.

I asked her if there had been much activity on our file, and she said no. There really hasn’t been much done on our file besides a few notes. Funny, because another CIC rep a few months ago told me yes, there was plenty of activity and we should hear something soon. The lady I spoke to a few weeks ago backed up what this one said, and advised there was nothing really done on our file yet………*sigh*

Gotta love the consistency!

Will THIS be the week all the AIPs & DMs start rolling in?!??? I sure hope so!!!

Yeah, it really is frustrating at how contradicting some answers are that we get from the different representatives when we try to contact CIC. I have to try to remember that it's not their fault, they're just the messenger! It would help if their messengers knew what they were talking about though, lol.

I do hope we see a lot of movement this week, this creeping along - while movement - is tormentingly slow! Fingers crossed and positive thoughts to everyone!

That's encouraging. Yata520, I think this means you can start calling today. They've passed your AOR date, so they can send an email. Looks like you may have to phone several times to get a helpful agent though.

This remains hardly encouraging for us who sent our applications towards the end of the year. 3 days in 2 weeks means absolutely nothing for us since it would take us *many* months behind schedule

I meant no offense. Any movement is encouraging right now. It will be 12 months for us on the 26th. We went through the strike where there was NO movement for months and we watched the processing time go up and up and up with no end in sight. Believe me, I know how you feel. Also, we're only one day away but that could just as easily mean we're three months away if they decide to stop processing. The fact that they haven't increased the processing date IS encouraging to me because that may mean they're getting ready to increase their speed.

This process is/was hard on ALL of us involved. I am hoping that CIC gets going and you guys who applied after us do not have wait as long as we have. 12 months is too long.

Hey Gang can someone please supply me with the link to apply for a OWP cause I did not submit one with my initial app cause when we applied for my residency I had 13.5 months remaining on my current work permit which we thought would be plenty of time to by done with the whole immigration process. I'm just lucky I have been able to work through the whole process.

So now my current work permit is due to expire this September I already got AIP back in Feb 2014 & since this has been a long drawn out process & me regretting not having applied outland everyday I need to apply for a OWP cause I'm not sure when I will hear back about DM. I'm just about to make a call to CIC as soon as I post this.

My other questions are How long will it take to get a OWP from application to receiving it ? If I get DM & a landing date while I'm waiting for the OWP will i get refunded ?

If you apply for OWP online the current processing time is 19 days.
Not sure about refund if you get DM sooner.

Oh, no offense taken, didn't mean it like that. I'm glad for everyone who gets close or receives AIP and/or DM. I'm just saying that the more the pace remains negative (as in processing less than 7 days' worth of applications per week), the processing time will keep getting longer and longer, which is quite frustrating

Well just got off the phone with CIC after many unsuccessful attempts to speak to a agent I finally got through to a agent who was a rude Quebecer guy who couldn't tell me anything about my file but he did send me a email for all the info about getting a OWP.

I got mine this week, exactly 30 days after requesting.

What does is say on your Notes? Anything interesting?
