Hi,
From where, which website, can I find an info on processing time for open work permit extension?
Documents submitted on which date are currently processed?
Thanks a lot.

Actually it is generally updated on a weekly basis. The last update was on April 3 and I suspect it has taken this long for another because they are preparing the quarterly updates from January to March. Two to three months is a good bet. Less if you're lucky.

Hi everyone,

I am Canadian married with a Mexican since December 2014. We have sent all his documents for permanant residency on March 13th 2015. He should get his open work permit by the end of this year. My question is: we want to attend a friends wedding in Mexico next year. Is he allowed to exit and re-enter Canada on an open work permit while waiting on his permanant residency?

Thank you for your advicee.

A work permit authorises you to work and nothing else. If he needs a visa to enter Canada he will be issued one at the time he gets his work permit. The visa authorises entry into Canada and as long as it is multiple entry he can travel to and from Canada as often as he has to.

what's the fees for open work permit visa while when i do it by paper submission in VFS canada?
You would need to pay a work permit fee of $155 and the open work permit holder fee of $100 so that's $255. You may also need to pay a biometrics fee depending on where you are.
