as of the 21st of February there is an additional $100 fee so the total is $255 for the open work permit with the pilot program.

New fee for open work permit applicants

A fee of $100 will be collected, also starting February 21, 2015, from open work permit applicants. This fee will be paid at the same time as the work permit processing fee and can be paid online. The fees collected will offset the cost of new initiatives to improve data collection on the role of open work permit holders in the Canadian labour market, as well as increased promotional activities to encourage open work permit holders to apply for permanent residence.

International Mobility Program streams that feature open work permits rather than employer-specific work permits include the working holiday portion of International Experience Canada, the Post-Graduation Work Permit Program, spouses/common-law partners of highly-skilled foreign workers and international students, and certain foreign nationals who are already in Canada waiting for the finalization of their applications for permanent residence.

Hi Everyone

We sent our Inland Spousal App on April 7,2015. I have been reading on the posts that you have dates when CIC received your application. Is this info from you courier or did you get notification from CIC?
We also sent the application with only the solemnization of marriage as our certificate was taking too long. I just received the certificate yesterday and wanted to send it in but have no idea where and how as I have not received any correspondence from CIC as to notify that they received the application.
Another worry is that I have been reading I should of put what type of application mine was ie: Spousal on the courier envelope of form, which I didn't and I can just imagine my application package sitting there with no bin to go in.
Any insight we be appreciated.

Thank you

Mari
 
AOR Recived App on march 18th.

what exactly dose notify cic about any change in status mean on the aor dose it include status granted by cic such as visitor extensions, implied status, etc?
 
Just to clarify I meant on people's names it says: application received by CIC, and a date and the AOR recieved.

MariMari7, AOR stands for Acknowledgment of Receipt. The AOR is sent by e-mail to the applicant or to the sponsor ( in my case, I'm appplicant, I haven't received it, but my sponsor received it) or to both.
AOR includes file number and the " official" day your application was received by CIC .
We took 3 months to receive ours.

Thanks!

I believe it was 155 for the new 1 year pilot OWP. However this was back in Feb 9 of this year, from what I read, the price has changed. if you apply after the 21st of February.

:)
