Your the one who has to follow up your application because your the primary applicant and had the client id number,you can put your file number when you make a follow up so the CEM can easily find your file,you have to inform them ASAP coz you have to sen the LC2 info to them in 15 days since the time they call you,good luck
Thanks Shelleon. I will send an email to CEM on Monday.I hope they will give me hope so that it will lesser my worries.

You have to inform the Service Canada of your new status (OWP) and that you are done with the LIC Program. You will still be given the same number but the important thing is you that you have updated your new status with them.
 
Go to service canada so your SIN can get updated to be co-terminus with your OWP expiration.

Hi maryanne22,

I have the situation here, I applied PR and OWP in Nov 2011, and I got my work permit in Feb 2012. the remark on my permit is LIC pending apr which is normal. I applied an OWP for my husband ( who was a student in Canada) in March 2012 and got his OWP in April 2012 which has the same expire date as mine. but the remark on his OWP is different--application for permanent residence has recieve initial approval. We thought they made a mistake or sth because it's only been 5 months since we applied and they already gave us a initial approval? I am so confused.And when i check my Ecas it's still application received in Nov,2011.

Can someone share the information about meeting?


I attended this meeting. you know, there were 6 women from china, me and 2!!! other women, they didn't share their stories. and most of the people from this part of forum are Filipino caregivers, there are thousands of caregivers here in Vancouver. I am just guessing, why nobody attended this meeting???????????? all of us posting all the time, how unfair the immigration system is, how long this processing time is, how we miss our families back home and nobody wants to do something!!!! shame on you!!!!!!!! after the meeting with Jinny Sims in Toronto I asked on this forum if somebody could share the information, nobody replied me..............

i'm so sorry for that,,i'm a bit far,,i'm here in Toronto.. :(
 
i agree as well i was at the meeting in toronto and one of the caregivers who stood up to tell their story. i was very surprised to see the poor turn out. i kept asking after the meeting what next???? why cant we all come together and stand for this issue thats affecting all of us?????!!!!! I am so dissapointed because no one wants to fight. they all very comfortable complaining in this forum but hardly anyone was willing to stand up and do something about it. How can we expect change if we are not willing to demand it!!!! when i heard of this meeting i marked it on my calender well in advance. i told all my caregiver friends to come, i thought other were doing the same but i was wrong. the sad thing is I am not from the Phillipines, I have no kids nor am i married i am engaged to a canadian citizen yet i am willing to stand up for fairness and demand what is ours!!!! A decision needs to be made, either we are going to stop complaining and just accept the sysytem the way it is or unite and demand what is right fully ours!!!!
