Yes exactly. My fiancées work permit is valid until next Jan, but she has to keep working for the family and looking after their kids. What if they don't want her anymore as an employee, then what. Then she cant work or she will have to go on unemployment or something. We are waiting for that permit so that she can get another job, but right now she is either stuck with that family or she will be jobless, which is a real possibility.
Let share Preparations/Timelines for 2015 Live In Caregiver PR/OWP Applications

Terrible my dear. I had to change employers and when i changed to the 2nd employer instead of giving me the maximum time which Dec 2017 ( for 4years). They cut it short for July 8th now it makes no sense to extend under the employer. So now I have implied status and stuck waiting on OWP and no health insurance!!! Furthermore applying for same employer would not come through either before OWP because i did my PR in April
WE GOT A EMAIL!!! Finally! It's a email saying that they received the application on May 24th. Are we going to get another email about them processing it or is that the only email?
I just checked on ECAS and they said the PR process started yesterday. WE ARE SO HAPPY!

Oh Lanina I know how you feel. I lost my job twice, I've been in this program 3 years and a half now and the same as you and all you guys I want this over.
Let's keep praying and we will have news soon.
OMG!! I am so happy for you guys. I can't wait to get my email too. I am excited now because I sent my application few days after your fiancee did!
Congrats!! Finally it is in process!!
Better Days Joey!!!! Better Days are ahead. One day one day this has to come to an end. God is not sleeping
Your are next in line!!! Let us keep praying for those back up in this system from 2010 or further back.
Lord Please help those who have no advocate. Weeping may endure for a night but JOY will come in the morning!!!
Hi everyone, I have applied for PR under the LCP old pathway on June 15th. Canada post shows they received the package on June 19th. I am patiently waiting for a positive reply from CIC. At this point I just want my OWP so I can have options right now I am under implied status with my current and only employers under the program. I desperately want to leave my present job but I feel so stuck especially since I have no health insurance and no way to legally work for anyone else until I receive my OWP.
I am originally from Trinidad and Tobago and would really like to go home for a vacation to see my family but I have no choice but to wait until my OWP arrives so I can get a new travel visa
Seeing everyone's posts makes me hopeful that one day my turn will be here

Brace yourself. The waiting is a real killer so start finding ways to destress!!! I have been waiting 16weeks for OWP which is the max processing time.
has it been 15 weeks from when they received the papers or 15 weeks from when you got the processing email?
we are in our 9th week of waiting then. Is there anyway to check the OWP status? The only way I have found to check status is the ECAS, which only shows the PR application. Still on her CIC account when I try to tie the paper application to the file it says no application found for either OWP or PR
