Yup! I have dpendents back home, they got the LC2 kit on Feb 15, 2010 and sent all the required docs to CEM on March 17, 2011 ( a little bit late bcoz we waited for my hubby's police clearance from dubai ). The last letter they received from the embassy is the AOR ( APRIL 2011 ). Don't know what's next...

i think the canadian embassy back in your home country will send the lc2 for your dependents

@jt78: rosell is right! It's the Canadian Embassy in your home country will send the LC2 KIT to your dependents. You too will receive a copy of the
letter...In my case I got the letter ( dated Feb 1, 2011 ) Feb 11, 2011 here but my hubby back home got it on Feb 15, 2011 together with the kit.

It's been 14th month going 15th nxt month that NO OWP YET.

APRIL 2010 APPLICATIONS SUFFERED THE MOST!!!

Guys I heard somewhere that the processing for single applicants is a lot faster than the ones with family members included into the application. Did you hear anything like this?

yes.. I always hear this.. but the word 'faster" for immigration is still slow for us! before, the processing for single is 6 months now CIC said its 15 months, almost 3x slower

Hi Ying888,

I just submitted mine a couple weeks ago.

1. Just write “open work permit” at the top of your application (IMM 1249).
2. On this part, I clicked "extend my stay" and "change conditions" Pointed out that I completed my LCP and would like to extend my stay until I receive my OWP and PR. I left the dates blank.

Hope this helps..

 

[ying888]

hi , plussy, thank you so much. I'm gonna print it out today.

Canada Post started to deliver the mail today. Hope someone will receive their OWP!

The reason the OWP is taking so long is a high number of live in caregivers arriving in Canada in 2008/2009 so CIC is drowning in
LCP application but also the Canadian Government seems to be putting the breaks on the Live in caregiver program.

Remember last year when Minister Kenney announced the “significent improvements “to the Live in caregiver program and all the
caregiver groups cheered him on.

It was actually a ploy to decrease the applications on the program.
By OWP taking longer, caregiver have to work longer as a live in caregivers.

It is much harder now to be employed as a live in caregiver in Canada, my friends overseas asking me to help them but I am unable to find them a job . My former family in Windsor says that the government made the LCP “intentially unappealing to Canadian families" so there are not hiring caregiver anymore…..

I don’t know if it is true but sure almost impossibleto find an employer now.
