1. If you included your husband in your application for PR then you should pay the processing fee of $550 plus yours and with your application for OWP which is $150, a total of $1250
2. Wait for your new work permit before submitting your papers for PR. Open Work permit can only be granted once you have received first stage approval ( APPROVAL IN PRINCIPLE ) of your application for PR. So you should submit your application for an OWP ( IMM 1249 ) together with your application for PR ( IMM 5002 )

Good luck!!!

Thanks a lot, Destiny14. Guess I will have to pay a big amount and wait till the end of this month when I get my new work permit.

Hi, I'm also about to apply for my OWP/PR. Been updating/accumulating my requirements. I will apply this June and just renewed my passport here in Vancouver Ph. Consulate. I guess you'll also be getting your spouse. Am too, just my spouse and will pay same amount as yours CAD1250.00.

Honeysweetie - Good luck too!

Are you guys applying online or through Canada Post?

Hi Rosellyalung,

Yes, You have to phone them first to make an appointment.

Here is the link,

http://vancouverpcg.net/pcg/index.php?option=com_contact&Itemid=3

I emailed them my desired date and time coz somehow they don't answer the phones. They called me and gave the earliest vacant post.

Rosellyalung call them ASAP and if you cant contact them, email them your specifics. Expect for a call after. I was scheduled a week and a half after the conversation.

Your requirements are written on the second page of the e-application when you print them out from the website. Bring the originals when you come here.

If you have no plans of picking up the renewed passport, which will take 7 weeks to 2 months, you can purchase a Canada Post envelope just across the street in West Pender and instruct them to mail your passport to Edmonton.

Hope this answers your questions.

Thanks plussy. I will apply probably first week of April. Still waiting for my new passport (into my new married name) from PCG Vancouver (applied last feb 11, 2011) and still waiting for my Police clearances from Norway and Denmark, and at the same time waiting my salary this end of March so I can pay all the fees for the application.

God bless us all.
