Hi all, I am new but I want to share something with you.
Just saw this message on facebook :
i call the C.I.C yesterday to ask about the processing time of open work permit and they said the processing time of open work permit is 17-18months. and when i ask them about the new rules that minister kenny declared last dec. 15, 2011, that all application for OWP will be issued as soon as the immigration received the application. then the C.I.C agent answer me "NO" they just change the rules again, now you need to wait 17-18months for your OWP together with your PR.
IS THAT POSSIBLE THAT THEY CHANGED THE NEW RULING AGAIN ????????? Can we all call our MP or call CIC to confirm ????????
Its not that cic changed the new ruling, cic only granted 10,000 open work permit last december 2011, and sadly this 10,000 open work permit with lic pending remarks have already reached. that means they will concentrate again to those owp applications that will be granted "initial approval" remarks (eligible to apply for permament residency)
