Hello everyone,
I was wondering if someone could give me some advice regarding my sponsorship application. I have applied for an OPEN WORK PERMIT along with my spousal sponsorship in Canada. I got an email from CIC confirming that the application has been received on MAY 3, 2019. I also got a medical request from CIC and the medical result has been received and it has been over 5 MONTHS but I haven't heard anything back from the OPEN WORK PERMIT. I changed my status from STUDY PERMIT to VISITOR RECORD and it just expired 21 days ago. I'm so confused at this moment cause Idk should I have to wait until I get my OWP or I have to extend my stay as visitor. Also, we're also planning on travel outside Canada next year. Since my visa is valid until 2022, am I still able to get through the Canada border without getting any trouble? Is there any case that someone get refused on their OWP before??
Much appreciated.
hey there! Just want to understand, has your visitor record expired? And if so, were you able to apply for an extension of your visitor record before it expired?
I heard nothing from IRCC about the OWP so I went searching for the application on GCKey.
Here’s how I ‘found’ my OWP application - on GCKey, I clicked on add/link an application to this account ->
Category - temporary residence
Sub-category - work permit and extension
Then I used different combinations to search for my application. It took a little while, but I found my application in the end. Hope this helps!
