INLAND APPLICATIONS 2015

[BritRam]

I literally look like this right now. My work permit came through today, August 5th received at CIC, valid from 13th November for 2 years. Thanks so much to everyone on this thread for the help so far. I was one of the not paid full amount people, that's a few in the last week or 2 on this forum alone. I wish everyone all the best that is still in limbo.. Currently enjoying a celebratory beer.

CONGRATS! Really happy for you, as a fellow August 5th applicant I am hopeful mine will come through within the next few days.

Congrats matt_bilbo!! I am reading your post and others and getting a very good feeling that I will be getting my OWP in the next couple of days!! (August 11 applicant - with the correct fee )

On other updates I received the corrected letter from CIC which i have to submit to Quebec office to get my CSQ from them. So getting on completing that form and mailing it in this week!

Your lawyer doesn't seem to be so knowledgeable...
If she attached an explanation letter and some proof that you applied for PR with the OWP app, then it should be fine.

She told me that she would send PR applications first and after two weeks she would send OWP application. I think she's aware PR application should be on CIC's system before my OWP application is processed.

I came to Canada with a visitor visa. When I applied for a visitor visa, I was given a UCI number. Can I use this number for tracking my RP application and OWP application or will CIC give me another UCI number ?

In the worst situation that I could not get OWP, can I apply for a study permit within from inside Canada to go to a college here?
If I do not get OWP, I don't know what I will do in 17 months so I want to be back to school for 2 year computer science diploma.
Thank you so much.

Congrats and cheers ! also wishing everybody here all the best and hopefully our work permits will arrive very soon, being in limbo really sucks but hey .... always when I`m feeling really down I think to myself that all is good, cause I can be with my hubby, and that is what counts in the end. Wishing everyone a great weekend !

So, I've been reading a lot on this forum and every time, I feel I have all the answers, something comes up that leaves me confused again. It's been extremely helpful but this whole process is just so overwhelming and stressful.

I am in Canada on a visitor visa. Entered Canada on June 10, 2015 so technically I am allowed to stay for six months. We hired a lawyer and my application for PR (inland application) was sent on September 11. The lawyer mentioned that there had been some issues with other clients, so he did not include an application for an OWP. I do understand from the forum that it takes a while until you first hear from CIC, however, at this moment, my concern is if I can stay beyond the six months time frame? Will I be in implied status whether we get an AOR from CIC or not? Do I need to apply an extension before my six month stay expires?

If I get an AOR next month and I sens an application for an OWP before the OWP pilot program expires, will I still be eligible for an OWP?

Also, I might be traveling with my husband to the States "at my own risk" close to the end of December and will be coming back to Canada. If everything goes well at the border, can I get Alberta Healthcare coverage for six months? (I read something somewhere but don't remember exactly). Do you usually get Health Care with an OWP?

Lots of questions and queries. Mind is a haywire.

Thanks for all the input.

So what type number of WP are they giving?
I'm asking because I'm in Ontario and I've read that a lot of people with WP type 27 did not get Ontario health coverage.

I am also an Ontario applicant - do I qualify for OHIP after getting OWP? Also, I got my G license 2 weeks ago - didnt need to wait for OWP or AOR for getting that. MTO confirmed that I should get my license as I couldnt drive on my international license. So for those in Canada on a visitor visa and in waiting for PR - go ahead and get your license!

Hi, everybody!

I have a doubt. I have a TRV valid until 2018. The category of my TRV is " visitor" ( and that was my first status in Canada).

Now, I have an OWP, so, my status changed to " worker" .

Do I need to renew my TRV in order to change category ?

I have looked up for this information on CIC website, but I can't find.

Thanks !!!

Hello everyone
I ve been a silent reader for a last couple of days and decided to enrol today. You guys are doing a great job in providing all the very valuable info.

Following is my situation and a questions

I'm a british citizen and a new inland applicant. Application + owp app sent on 3rd Nov and received on 4th Nov. My 6 months entry visa will expire on early April 2016. I do not have any dependents nor a representative hence did not include visa representative form part nor additional dependants part with my application.
I read somewhere that they can return applications back due to not including additional dependant page with the application ?

Would it mean my application would be returned ?

What implication would it have on my owp application specially since the pilot prog is thought to be expiring In late December this year ?

What's the best course of action i can take right now ? Can I send additional dependant form with 'not applicable' written now to be inuded in my application pack ?
Also how do o go about being added 2015 timeline ?

Please help I am really confused at the moment
Thanks
