****September 2019 - Inland Spousal PR + OWP****

[twgoundarmorton]

After OWP, is it still required to extend the visitor visa in case 6 months are up? Tried looking for this info everywhere and must have read 200+ blogs but there isn’t anything in black and white. Perhaps best to call immigration folks.

As far as I understand, the OWP acts as the extension of visitor status, as essentially it allows us to stay for 2 years!

Just to update you guys, got my OWP in the mail today

Checked with Immigration this morning. OWP is good for 2 years, irrespective of PR approval.

Anybody? Anything? Really, it's been a week since the last reported OWP.

I haven't seen another month where there has been such a long gap in OWP approvals.

i agree... its not normal. something is going on to cause this delay

 

[stellaheo87]

Yeah. It’s been a week no update. No one get OWP approval...!! What is going on

 

[simoneleah]

They just seem to be doing them in large batches. A lot of people got their OWP's approved all at once last Friday (at about 3-4 PST). I kind of suspect that'll happen again but if not we might have a slightly longer wait.

some June people still are waiting and never had theirs returned. So yeah they got super backed up over the Summer and are just getting closer to normal time. So this is all still really good.

Ok. Seems wrong though. I mean, some people from June having to wait so long for OWP, not because there was something wrong leading to a return, whilst other people from their month and others after get it on time.

Sadly yes, very wrong indeed. You would think they would prioritize the work permits especially for PR applicants who cant work yet, so that they can contribute and live of something else than their partner or saved up money
