CONGRATS!! to all the 2013 applicants who have been receiving their AIP's, OWP's and DM's!!! It was getting a little lonely being the only one in the AIP column of the spreadsheet for so long and I am so glad to see there is finally some movement. I know how excited you all must be as it is a wonderful feeling to finally get that letter.

Truth be told, for us, AIP was more exciting than getting the PR.. getting AIP/OWP made life 'normal' for us since hubby was allowed to work, and apply for a SIN# and health care (besides the fact that for us, it put him back into status alleviating most of our worry and stress). And with that said, it made the wait for part 2 (DM & PR) seem not so bad. Just a word of encouragement.. we were only 6 months from AIP to PR once our file got to the local office!! What I have noticed is, the estimated wait times and date on the CIC website is very unpredictable and it changes a lot, so don't fret about that becuz it may even change again (hopefully to a shorter wait). Things seem to be moving right along now and I am excited to read all of the good news lately on this forum!

Let's keep those 2013 AIP's coming in!!
 
Wow lots of good news! Congrats everyone, I am so happy for you!


I am still waiting.... went to see our consultant yesterday because I was freaking out and she said not to worry, everything will be fine as ours is a very simple case. She said we should have our AIP this week or next and she will call as soon as the e-mail comes. I thought CIC had mine and hubby's e-mail addresses, but apparently they only have our consultant's....which SUCKS, because what if the e-mail comes while she is out of the office for the day?! Oh well.
Anyway, I was getting kinda worried since I'm a Jan. 17th applicant and haven't had any news, but...I'm sure we would know by now if something was wrong.

I am pretty sure you get that snail mailed to your postal address, nothing to worry about! You can ask the people in the inland 2012 thread to make sure.

And congrats to everyone who got AIP!

Thanks hockeyfan! I will ask about in the other thread, good idea. :)

@ Ginabean, you can try and call the help centre and ask if your OWP was approved. I THINK they should be able to tell if it was approved, but I'm not positive.

Thanks for the response & advice! I will call and see if I can get through.

I'm pretty sure I have grey hair that I never had before this whole process!

Hoping for lots of good news today for everyone else too. Oh my, patience is certainly a virture!
