I applied Inland Permanent Resident application for my wife in family class to Mississauga two weeks back. I still did not receive Application file number. Can I still apply for OWP for my wife or should I wait for Application number? Please help.

Yes you can

OPen the link http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/2015-12-11.asp

Read the paragraph no. 3 and your answer is there. So when you send your application there, then make sure you put the maximum info into that like when was your application recieved by CIC on of PR, who received it etc so it will help them to find your PR file and attach the work permit application with it. It's my thought.

FYI, it takes a few months for CIC to send inland applicants AOR, so you won't hear anything for awhile.

Hey Canuck

any idea why Decemeber 2015 applicants are getting AOR in a month after applied. Please check the spread sheet. I am nov 27-2015 applicant. I called Cic 3 weeks ago and they said they are working on 21 Sep applications and called yesterday, said same again working on 21 sep application

Thanks

Thanks Jas and Canuck for your kind reply. You guys are always awesome!!

Just wondering, if my wife did not get AOR or OWP before six months of her arrival in Canada. Can she still stay in Canada or she has to leave? Its been already two months that she moved into Canada as a Visitor. Still four months to go.

You will have AOR in the first four months or the Work permit. Work permit is taking little longer but if the time passes then 4 months contact cic. Your wife can apply extension of her visa before her completion of 6 months. The extension usually take 3-4 months too. You have tons of time. I am nov 27 applicant. Almost 2 months didn't hear anything yet.

Sometimes CIC works a bit out of sync. It may just be that the person/people processing Dec apps are making more of an effort to send out AOR.

As she applied for the OWP/PR while she still had valid status, she will have Implied Status if her visitor status expires before she recieves the OWP.

Hello Everyone,

Just in a little dilemma here, I apply inland to sponsor my husband, however, we currently do not live together due to his job arrangement; He lives and work in a group home with adults with disabilities. I was wondering if our application would be refused or delayed because of this situation? We explained this situation in the application. The Application was sent Dec20. His closed work permit expires May, 2016. We sent an application for OWP along with PR App. What should we expect?

Your advice is very much appreciated

A requirement of applying inland is that you live together, so CIC will most likely refuse the app. You should have applied outland.

Thanks! 2 months huh! it's a killer...I am still hopeful by the time I realize my mistake I already sent another OWP with the missing fee of $100 in Vegreville last 01/3/2016 without waiting for the OWP application to be returned...I hope they consider it anyway..Where did you resend your OWP? Can you please give me the complete address where did you send it mississauga or vegreville?
Resend it to Mississauga.

Question: Does OWP allow one to work on 2 jobs? Full and part time job?
