I'm sept 18th ... why have i not received anything :(


I wonder if it would hurt to call and get them to check ....getting nervous n ow...

Dont let it get to you bud. In the end there is no way to predict a timeline, every case officer is different etc. Worrying is the worst thing you could do...

Im September 13... I have SA and OWP. I'm not worried. Its easy to drive yourself crazy reading all these posts... it'll be alright bud.

So let's say I do get AIP and DM sometime this year, and I need to go to that interview. Is there a way to change the date of this interview? Just curious as to see what flexibility we have here.

Also, does anyone else have 2 UCI's?

Ive got 2 different numbers... kinda strange eh.

Everyone has his/her own number, so you should have one and your partner an other.

Hello All! I am new to Forum so please accept my apologies in advance if I am not using it correctly. I have a question: I submitted all paperwork to sponsor my wife in May 2014 both got AOR and in Jan 2015 she got her OWP under the Pilot program. Prior to that he had extended with visitor status which is still valid. She also has a valid visitor visa good until 2016. We are thinking about leaving the country for a 2 week vacation. My question is, can she do it and re-enter Canada with her Visitor visa and OWP? Or she needs to apply for a worker visa to do so? I very much appreciate your thoughts and pieces of advice on my situation. Thank you!

OWP is Open Work Permit, basically working visa, you can't have anything else, and no one can tell anything new about travelling, find here what was already discussed:
