thank you!! you should get a job with immigrations

*Note* If you are going to apply outland as you said in another thread, you won't get implied status and you won't get an OWP. So don't waste the money on the OWP if you are applying outland.

For outland you will always need to renew your visitor status and apply for that.

Best of luck,

Hi Guys me and my fiancee are about to get married in december and apply for sponsorship IN canada before my status expires (jan 5) i came here in 2012 in january as a student, we started dating November 10,2012 and we got engaged on November 10,2013 so we are in a hurry with everything now, doing a tiny wedding with her family and Canadian friends of mine hehe. So i guess we will be following this thread

One question

Should we send an OWP application with my PR application?

Can i do the medical and police certificate after applying? or do i need them at the moment of submitting my papers?

My application is going to be sent out December 6th..

OWP + Common Law PR Application with Police check and Medical all included

My application is fully complete, nothing missing and tickets all of the boxes for the visa officer, no criminal records etc.

What do you think the current time line will be for me and when would I receive my OWP and when will it be all completed?

I'm from the UK also and applying In-land its the only option for me and my GF and I do see that on the website it states 11 months for the 1st stage which seems completely ridiculous as my application would only take 1 week to be approved if I was the visa officer.

Hey guys!! I couldn't wait to tell you! I got my OWP in the mail yesterday! Woohoo! Now, to get my SIN card!! BTW, any of you live in Mississauga? I need someone to recommend the best place to get both your SIN card and OHIP? I looked online, but it was very confusing. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you!!

Felicidades Layla!! I'm getting closer to getting my AIP, but I didn't send the OWP applications at the beginning. Do you think I should wait for the AIP to send it???

Gracias!! ;D

It is veeery calm here. too calm :. However, if we look at the 2013 excel sheet, there is only 2 applicants with dates in January after the 24th. wwdt2001 and stereogram24.

I just hope they got AIP but they only not told us.... If this is the case, CIC is going forward.

My date is Feb 14, and I'm just afraid that cic take a break just before my date.... They did something like that on October 8th, 2012, and it was not funny...

We feel your pain - and welcome to the club! The current waiting time is fairly accurate as most of the recent recipients of AIP and OWP were processed around the 10/11 month mark. Before the PAFSCO strike, the website listed 6 months processing time for 1st stage but then there was a huge backlog and it increased to 11. Some good news is that they do seem to be catching up at a nice pace recently (though this week has been slow so far) and it's possible the waiting time may become less in the months to come. That said however...one thing we have all learned during the process is that Government agencies are unpredictable - so don't bank on anything!

The best advice I can offer through personal experience is to take part in this forum where you can get to know others who are going through, or have already gone through, the exact same thing. Familiarize with the spreadsheets too. Good luck!

CONGRATS! We are still waiting for my hubby's OWP to arrive in the mail - hopefully by the end of this week!
