ONLINE WORK PERMIT APPLICATIONS

[arzgen]

Hi ,

I live in Canada for 2 years .Last month I got my BC PNP Certificate and LMO Confirmation and I submitted online work permit extension. Under MyCIC It allows you to apply for yourself and for your family member together. So I applied for myself and mu husband . My Husband is in Turkey right now.Last week I got an email from CIC and they approved my application and for my husband it is still shown as submitted. I called the CIC ,they said that since he is in Turkey ,they transfer the file over to Turkey to process it. But they could not answer how do they transfer the file ?Do they transfer online ?How long it takes?
If anyone has the same situation ,please share all the information you have. Because I keep calling CIC to speak with different agents ,because some agents they have really knowledge ,some not.
Thanks

Hi Argen,
As per my knowledge, the call center people will have not much knowledge some times depending on the person whom you speak. If you are submitted online along with your husband, CIC will access all over the world and assign that token to the person who is on FCFS basis. Dont worry it will be completed soon.


I have a question for you. Recently I have applied online spouse open work permit from within canada(IMM1295 from outside canada). Can you tell me how long will it take to process it as you have applied online. Thanks for your reply!!

Hi Kalpan ,

I applied on December 17th and I received on January 7th.It was really fast, if you consider the holiday season. Around 15 business days, I guess .

Thanks

I tried to used the online wizard again and it leads me to this personal checklist:

*Application Form(s)
-Application for Work Permit Made Outside of Canada (IMM1295)
*Supporting Documents
-Family Information (IMM5645)
-CV/Resume
-Education Diplomas/Degrees
-Passport or Travel document
-Labour Market Opinion (LMO) from HRSDC
-Letter from Current Employer
-Proof that you Meet the Requirements of the Job Being -Offered
-LCP Employer - Proof of Financial Means
-Employment Reference Letter
-Offer of Employment
-REQUEST FOR MEDICAL EXAM
-Employment Contract
-Digital Photo

This checklist is quite the same with my first checklist except of the REQUEST FOR MEDICAL EXAM. Under this is a link that made me download a pdf form... and this is what is written in the form..

REQUEST FOR MEDICAL

EXAM DETERMINE IF YOU NEED A MEDICAL EXAM

If you are visiting Canada for six months or less:
• You usually do not need a medical exam.

Some temporary foreign workers will need to have a medical exam. This depends on the job you plan to do in Canada. Below are examples of such jobs. This list does not include every possible job.
1. Jobs that bring you into close contact with people at risk, such as:

PLAN YOUR MEDICAL EXAM

If you are still not sure if you need a medical exam, check with a visa office If you do need a medical exam, your visa office where you applied, or will apply. near you. will give you instructions and a form with your file number before you see a panel physician. Your own doctor cannot do the medical exam. You must see a doctor on Canada's list of Panel Physicians.

Do you need a medical exam?
□Yes, I want to complete a medical exam

*Anyone who is familiar with this REQUEST FOR MEDICAL EXAM FORM?
-since it was included in the personal checklist it means that i need to fill it up and submit in the complete application package.
