hello i have applied for an open work permit inside canada my husband is canadian how long does it take for them to send it back if it has been approved

You will get the OWP when you get 1st stage approval. Currently that is taking 11-12 months. (working on applications received on January 15, 2011)

Open Work Permit

 

[mumsie64]

we have been approved the first part of immigration so we applied for the OWP on the 6th of jan what i am asking how long will it take still 11 to 12 months

No, if you have already received first stage approval, it will not take that long to get your OWP. Not sure, though, how long it will take. My best guess would be 30-40 days based on this chart, but it doesn't specify Open Work Permit as opposed to a renewal of an existing work permit.
