Not sure if you can even apply to get restrictions removed from your OWP 27. CIC gets to determine what restrictions are placed on the OWP. You may get some restrictions removed when you apply for a regular OWP after you get AIP stage.

I believe you can. I think if you did your medical upfront there should be no restrictions to work in medical and teaching. If you did not do medical then there will be restrictions.

The person who wants to remove the restriction: did you do an upfront medical?

Do I send the OWP application in the same package of the sponsorship? Or do I send it to a different office? (applying inland)

Thank you :)

Hi,

I submitted both my PR and OWP application on June 9th 2015. They were received on June 11th.

I have noticed that everybody here seems to have taken an upfront medical examination. I didn't take any medical exam when I submitted the application.

My question is: Will they reject my OWP application because of that OR will I obtain an OWP with some restrictions?

Please I need your help because time is running and my savings are decreasing :(

Hi! My husband didn't do upfront medicals. His OWP has 2 restrictions. The first states that he is not allowed to study unless authorized and the second says that he can't work for the sex industry including massage parlours, etc. LOL!

Same restrictions I've got when I had my working holiday visa for Canada.
So that will be a OWP without restrictions no?
and about study I am not sure, Someone told me that because we are spouses of a canadian we can study paying national fees even when our app still in process.

Anybody know something about that? I was looking for that info yesterday but I could not find anything related.

You still have to pay international fees for education regardless of your status of marriage to spouse, regardless if your PR application is in process. Until you officially landed as PR, you pay international fees.

Also, unless the program duration is less than 6 months, you would need a study permit.
