Hi, guys! I'm live-in-caregiver from Vancouver.I've got OWP and waiting for PR. Now I want to visit my mom in USA. 5 years ago I had unlucky experience with USA visa (I was visitor in Canada and was refused bcz have relatives in USA). Do I have chance to get USA visa now? What do you advise me? Thanks a lot!

Hello! I live in Vancouver too. I just got my US visa without having an OWP or PR. Maybe you will be lucky now that you have the OWP.
Can you share your timeline with us please? I sent my papers at the end of march and still they havent updated my application status.
 
Thanks, cats_lover!You are so kind! I've send application OWP&PR on 15 december 2011,it've been recieved 19 December. I got OWP dated 30th March after 3,5 months waiting.
 
The girls that had sent their PR application in 2010, Who has received their PR or at lest interview letter already?
I just turned 18 months and nothing...seems forever...

The petition is still on but anyone sign up for awhile...how fight for faster PR if nobody even sign up for it.

Hi Strikenannies, I'm ready to sign up and fight for faster PR. Where are you, in what city? My app is still ahead. I will apply this November. But looking at this situation with OWP, PR... I can't sit still. We are all in the same shoes, let's get together.

I have the same status. It's normal. It means - You are in process. When you check status, on last page, you can get explanation below, click "Application for Permanent Residence in Canada".

maybe I can answer your question. one of my live-in caregiver friend, who is single, applied PR and OWP in May,2010. she got her owp and interview letter in September,2011. The interview letter ask her to have the final interview at vancouver downtown office. But when she get there, there's no interview, they already made their decision to approve her PR. She said there are more than 10 people like her waiting outside the room.when they go in, there are papers on tables waiting for them to sign. after that the office will say congratulations ,you will receive your PR card by mail. Will this help you?
