Hello everyone,
I wanted to know for those who received their work permit, was your background check started before your work permit was approved?
My background check started for my Pr application but there is no update for the work permit. We got a request for police certificate last week which we submitted but still no update for the work permit.. please let me know thanks.. our application for Pr and OWP was received on March 13, and our medical was passed on June 6th. We got a request for police certificate on July 15th.
I am facing the same situation. I am a march applicant but I submitted my work permit separately in May, which I could link it in June right after the medicals were passed. My background check started processing last Friday and so far no updates in the OWP. I am assuming that both of them are going cocurrently at this point; however, I would wait until some other person with more knowledge could comment on this. The processing time is 4 months.
