INLAND APPLICATIONS 2015

[b4bow]

Glad that you finally heard something at least Bow! What date was the letter you received mailed?

i found the stamp on the envelope that says August 6, 2015. I received the returned package on August 12, 2015.

now i don't know if i should wait for the OWP or send out the application for restoration of the visitor status. Any advice anybody?

Applied to change the status to worker (OWP) then apply again to change back to visitor? It seems confusing to the person who will handle the case i guess.

Based on...what?

The OWP needs to be sent to CPC-V:

Oh dear god. I just sent the package this afternoon to CPC-V

 

[playvltk04]

my first OWP application got returned yesterday! The CIC letter stated that my application is incomplete as insufficient processing fees were provided with my application.

i resubmitted the entire package, the missing $155 receipt and the CIC letter to CPC-M as requested this afternoon.

One thing is good, at least i know they opened my original PR package and stamped on the OWP application as it was received by CIC-M on May 6, 2015. However the letter didn't mention anything regarding the progress of the PR application and no UCI is provided.

I just hope that there will be a feedback soon after they receive my package tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

If it's not too confidential, can you pls let me know what cic told you ?

I'm in the same shoes, while CPC is not returning my package yet and I'm waiting for it.

I send the package over to CPC-V this morning and dear god, CIC-M requested you to send to them at Mississauga ?

Please, shred me some light, i'm really don't wanna have this waiting game with CIC

“Insufficient processing fees were provided with your application.”

there was nothing else the letter said, it just said the whole package needs to be resubmitted with a copy of the letter and requested documents. there was no further instructions and no hint at all.

how did i know where to send it back? there was the address of the CPC -M on the top left corner at the beginning of the letter and the package was from CPC-M, so it made sense to me to send it back to this center for the officer to place my application into processing.

as to what were the requested documents, there were links listed on the letter which are linked up to the CIC website, so it was the client me to sort it out what to add myself. No particular instructions there.

detailed instructions on how to pay immigration fees:
http://www.CIC.gc.ca/english/information/fees/index.asp

instructions on obtaining and completing current immigration forms including paying fees:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/index.asp

i didn't go thru those general links again tbh.

 

[b4bow]

just want to reconfirm the fees for PR application without any dependent, how much does one have to pay? If the instructions on the website are clear enough for us to understand, then we do not need to ask others to clarify them for us. Disappointed.

 

[insonoro]

Sorry to hear that!
The fees should be 1040 for the apps and 255 for the OWP.
When did you send it first time? Early May? Did you get AOR??

Oh dear god. I just sent the package this afternoon to CPC-V

That's why I said this, in a previous reply to you:
Some people have opted to send in a new OWP ASAP, before getting the original back from CIC, but I don't know if that's the proper protocol.

I suggest that you send a Case Specific Enquiry to CIC, to alert them that you've sent another OWP to CPC-V:
https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx


ALL OWP applications are eventually sent to CPC-V...even those that are mailed to CPC-M first.

Don't worry Ponga. I'm not blaming you here, I just don't wanna raise lot of eyebrows cause of many packages flying around. Since it's really not fair for us to keep playing the guessing game due to the incompetence of their information.

Hello everyone, just want to know if I apply Inland Application now but I only have a month left since I'm on tourist visa, will I have sufficient time till I get a response from CIC? or should I apply for an extension as well?

Thanks

If you apply inland you should send an application for OWP.

------------info above from the Pay Your Fees link---------------------

The third one $550 above was the one that confused me. I am supposed to be the principal applicant here, so why do I need to pay for my spouse?

I paid $ 1,040 for PR and $255 for the OWP. I just wanna make sure it was correct!

Please let me know if anyone disagree with the total amount paid here.

i sent the first OWP with PR to CPC -M in May
and the second OWP alone to CPC -V in June
and now resubmitted the first OWP to CPC -M in August

i included a note and a letter telling each center that I had another copy of the same OWP submitted to both centers.

sorry for the long message here …

i sent the first OWP with PR to CPC -M in May
and the second OWP alone to CPC -V in June => this you have done by yourself ? Any return or communication after this?
and now resubmitted the first OWP to CPC -M in August => this was requested by CIC ? Man, i really hope you don't have to wait for fucking few months to get this sorted out.

yes i sent the 2nd one to CPC-V in June in case they returned the first one and said I have not applied the OWP with a complete application before my vistor status expired in June. I just did whatever i could to make sure the implied status work for me. Wouldn't have done it back then if my status didn't expire.

if you have read what i have written before, you would see i resubmitted the package as requested.

It doesn't really matter to me which OWP, first or second, has been placed to processing. It only matters to me if I get the proper feedback and i will get the permit in the end. i do not understand the last part of conversation. Therefore, no comment.

Hey people,

I got couple questions...

I am sponsoring my husband and we sent our application in the beginning of May 2015 and got our AOP and now we are waiting on OWP, but silly mistake I made I didn't pay all the fees and now its been three and a half months and we haven't gotten it yet, but we did receive a letter about a month ago to pay missing fees and I paid the same day and sent it back which was in the beginning of July. So my first question is...

1.Did our application for OWP went all the way to the bottom of the list and we have to wait another 2-3 months for it to come back?

and the second question is...

2. If my husband gets OWP and American visa is it okay if we go travel the States or anywhere at all (Mexico or even his back home Russia)?

Haven't gone for a honeymoon yet LOL

Thanks everyone for your help!
