Yes, he has implied status.

Hey, you don't actually get implied status with a OWP application unless you currently hold one and are extending it. I recently asked IRCC this question as I also had a similar issue.

Their response was:
"If you've applied to extend an open work permit that you already hold, you're covered by implied status and should be ok to stay in Canada while your applications are being processed. If you're currently in Canada only as a visitor, you'll have to apply to extend your stay while your applications are processed."

While I'm here thought I'd give back a bit as the forum has been a great help with info.

Probably one of the last October applicants. Application was sent on the 29th and received on the 30th.

Just tried with the payment receipt and sponsor's information. Nothing.

If people from late October start receiving AOR and I still haven't I'll conclude there is an issue.
For now, just more patience

At this point knowing that people after you are receiving AOR, I would call cic to check for information whether they returned it or if a mistake happened with your sponsor's e-mail address (I've seen people not receiving it bc the officer typed it wrong in the system).

Hi! I'm just finalizing my partner's application including the OWP. Quick question if anyone can help - in the IMM5710 Application to Change Conditions, it has a section where you need to provide details of intended work in Canada. Do I need to have something to put in here or do I leave it blank? We haven't pursued employment for him yet because we thought we had to wait for the OWP to come through.

I just don't want to send in this application and they return it as incomplete. Thanks in advance!

I guess they have this question because some fields wont allow people to work without an extra medical exam. For example if he intends to work with child care he needs to inform it otherwise his OWP will come with an exception stating the fields where he can't work with that permit. (Not sure if my English made it clear)

I send mine on Oct 23, linked today, just confirmation they received. So excited to see how fast they are working, fingers crossed we didn’t miss anything...

Wow this was way super fast!!! Nice!

 

[Betabr]

I have my UCI number too from my study/work permit before don’t know if that UCI still works

Yes, it still does.

This is not true. CIC's call center makes some mistakes when they give out informations. The person needs to have legal status (from being a tourist, worker or student) to apply for the OWP and by doing that if the application is not returned an implied status is applied.

However, if the owp is denied then the person on implied status will be out of status. - I just haven't seen one being denied under this sponsorship class. - But to be 100% sure of holding a status til the end, dont be on an implied status.

Ps: it is always better to call them more than once to speak the same subject with different attendants.

Thanks.
My sponsor is calling.
However, they ask for the application number in the automated menus.
Do you know the way to get around that?
Edit: she is going for other options, not PR application. Getting the usual "too many calls" response so far.

What’s your timeline ?? Like when did they receive your application ???

They received it on October 11.

That makes sense. He was on implied visitor status when we sent the OWP application and now we are just waiting. Thanks for all your help!

any updates???

Unfortunately getting a chance to speak with them is hard. Sometimes it is better to be patient and wait for the AOR which usually takes from 4 to 8 weeks to arrive. Something is happening since September that they are speeding up this waiting time, but still.

Ok. Then we have a different scenario if he was on an implied status when he sent the owp application. He needs to have legal status (not implied status) in order to be elegible for the OWP.

I dont remember if you already said it before. Did he apply for a visitor extension and that gave him implied status because his visitor status expired and he is waiting for the result of the extension?

I dont know if you are the most anxious one asking it here often or If I am the most anxious one checking my e-mail every 10min. Hahaha
