Hi there,
I have kind of a tricky question about Open Work Permit applications for Inland Spousal Sponsorship. I mailed my application on May 29, 2012 and it was received by Vegreville on June 1, 2012. Today, I got my AIP letter!
The problem is I did not realize that I should/could include my application for OWP with the PR application and realized this during a meeting w/ my imm lawyer who told me to just send it in to PR with a note and I'd have a 50/50 chance of getting it matched to my application so the OWP would arrive with my AIP. I mailed this yesterday... today I got the AIP soooo obviously it is too late to get the OWP w/ 1st stage approval but I paid the fee!
Question is, can I mail another application to the Work Permit case processing address and just wait the 60-70 day current processing time but DO I HAVE TO PAY A SECOND FEE??? This seems crazy. Won't the PR people just throw this OWP app in the trash when they get it in a couple days?
does anyone have similar experience or precedent to cite here?
