oh i see. i also came from middle east (riyadh, saudi arabia) as i remember when i send my application for working permit, it's all photocopy. even the police clearance that i got from saudi, i just photocopy it and i enclose the copy together with all the requirements.

wsongco was right. check the link that she/he post. because it's also depends on the country where you at.

Saba alkher!

Yes you need to translate all the documents that you have in english.
And if am not mistaken, when i apply as a LC before i remember it was clearly mintioned in the checklist that any documents not in english or french must be accompanied by a certified english or french translation.

I found some link for you. It might help you to gather all the requirements that you need.

Good luck and god bless to all of us.

Congratulations, I am happy for you:)

Can not wait for the moment, when I will see mine.

They received my application 8 days later than yours, so hopefully I will get it soon too.

When did they received your application? Did you receive the confirmation to CIC yet?

Hi miska,

Thank you. Why don't you try to call them? Because me I called them yesterday, they told me that my OWP was approved on january 8 this year. And then last night when my employer came home he got a letter for me from C.I.C.

God bless us all and good luck.

Hi susanne,

Just want to ask! Did you receive your OWP? And may I ask you also about the speak test, what is that for?

Thank you.

I see, richmondhill was right, try to call the CIC or the automated, if the automated said you application was received when the date that your PR/OWP application received by cic means you have your open already but if still the last time that you sent your WP application means no open yet :( but yeah try to call the cic.

Cic received mine on nov 16th 2012 then i received a confirmation on january 10th 2013, still no news yet of course lol

Hi Wins26,

We have to pray and believe that we will get it soon. I called CIC, they still did not issue my OWP. Will call them next Monday again. I am glad I found this website. It is nice and helpful to share timelines.

If you did not get yours yet, goodluck for the nov applicant. Actually there is lots of october applicants that doesnt have the open work permit yet. Probably the agent was right that it will take 4 to 5 months now? Hopefully not :( anyway lets see for your 3 months for your papers, so yeah probably next week you will have a good news ;) goodluck for us and Godbless
