Received letter from CIC, is this the OWP approval??

[tschellsi]

Hi everyone, I just received a correspondence letter from CIC, this is what the letter says:

Dear C........
Your application to stay in Canada as a temporary resident has been approved. Your permit has
been mailed to you at the address you gave us when you applied.
If you have not received your document within six weeks from the date of this letter, contact us by
completing this Web form (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp).
Please note that this letter is a notification only. It is not valid for travel and is not a permit
allowing you to stay in Canada.
Document to travel to Canada or re-enter
A study or work permit is not a travel document. To allow you to travel to or re-enter Canada
by air only, we have issued you an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) when we issued your
permit extension. Your eTA is linked to the passport that you used to apply for your permit
renewal. You must travel with this same passport. If you get a new passport, you will need to get
a new eTA.
To learn more about eTA, visit Canada.ca/eTA (http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/eta.asp).

Summary of documents issued:
Document type
Permit-WP-EXT / Permis-PT-PROR

Sincerely,
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada

That's awesome!! Just curious why it says "...temporary resident has been approved", and not "work permit".

 

[starnaenae]

Thats the email my husband got when his extension was approved

Thats the email my husband got when his extension was approved

We didn't apply for visitor extension or work permit extension, just an initial OWP. So it confuses me a little as to why they referred to it as "temporary resident"

All workers, students and visitors are temporary residents.
