Congratulations for LICs who have received open work permit!! Just wondering what kind of jobs have you found with your OWP? Was it hard to find a job other than caregiver ? Can anyone share your experience?
 
Hope all is going well for all our Lcps....

Hi Dna no open yet will let you know what job i undertake. Anyone on open how did you transisiton? Hope all is going well for every one who is waiting....and filling out forms.
 
Congrats to all who have sent off their applications. Continue to be encouraged and remember hard work never goes un-rewarded. Also a word of encouragement to all those still waiting to complete their requirements. I sent off my application Feb. 12. I got a AOR email fr CIC on the 3rd of March. I hope this is a good sighn that open permit will b granted soon. If anyone could share their experience it would b highly appreciated. Thank u and God bless to all LCPs.
 
I sent off my application Feb. 1 and received an email from CIC on Feb. 18. I really hope to receive my Open Work Permit soon. Good luck to all!

Hi po sa inyo!!

I have problems regarding one of the requirements under LIVE in CAREGIVER PROGRAM
It says here
• You must have six months of full-time training in a classroom setting or twelve months of full-time paid employment, including at least six months of continuous employment, within the past 3 years, with one employer in a field or occupation related to the job you are seeking as a live-in caregiver.


im a nurse with 1 year and 6 months experience in a clinic. I am only a volunteer there and expect there is no salary.
Do you think i am qualified in the experience?

Im just worried if my papres will be refused.. Somebody told me i will receive a refusal.
 
Sent in my application for EWP online. It's in God's hands.

Hi girls, I've just got my OPEN W Permit today. HAPPY to no end It's a great feeling of relief after 3 years of hard work! It's just incomparable to anything! My timeline - sent appl for OWP/PR - Nov 7, 2012; CIC received Nov.13, 2012, OWP issued Feb. 11, 2013.
 
If i cannot cheak my application status online now <since I send it in Nov 29 2012> it means my application got problem or not?
I am anxious about the time, my current visa will expired in April 2013 ??? :'(
Someone can give any idea about how to know the application status except the CIC website?
