Good Idea! A podcast!

EDIT: I will remove my rant here.

Some people are now reporting email 'clumping'. 2 notices same day from CIC (with SA or AIP, and others with AIP, DM, and a third case was DM and 'Hey come to Calgary two days ago').

Haha, I didn't get to see the rant before you deleted it. Shame.
Yeah, I am getting the feeling that is how it is going to be for a lot of us with the 'clumping'

Just wondering, to CIC, if having a joint bank account indicates a stronger and more genuine common-law relationship that will help in getting a positive result on their applications more than those couples who don't have.

Something about a truck and CPC-M

It will certainly add to cohabitation proof.

Interesting to note, that SJ (if they are forum member; congrats!) is showing a DM. That applicant got an AOR April 20, and a document request June 17.

Just before polarvolcano, and on the same day as matthars.

SJ was on my 'to stalk' list as an applicant with a document request on June 17th.

that's a good sign, at least some movement in November so far..

Hi everyone,

I'm new to this forum and glad to find people in similar situations!

I sent my OWP and PR application on 1 Nov 2016 to the Mississauga office. My status is a Temporary Resident with 2 years multiple visa. I have been in Vancouver with my husband who is a PR from 25 Sep 2016.

I have two questions in regards to the application:

- If granted the OWP, what is going to be my status in Canada? Is my status going to be a legal worker or still as a Temporary Resident?
- Relating to the above question... I am supposed to come to the UK in May 2017. I understand that the Canadian border agency may refuse my re-entry to Canada. In order to avoid overstaying in Canada, my husband and I plan to go to the US in March 2017 and re-enter Canada (hopefully by that time the OWP is granted). If at that time of travel I have an OWP, would it be less of a reason to deny re-entry? If I haven't had the OWP yet, would declaring that I am on the process of applying a PR application be more of a help? I have heard differing opinions, some people told me to never declare that I am applying for a PR and just declare myself as a tourist.

Thank you for any advice!

You will be granted the OWP if they do not return your application.

You will be a Temporary Foreign Worker (status).

And you will have the OWP by March. Even if you don't (very UNLIKELY), you have implied status until they answer.

So, no overstaying for you . Always tell CBSA the truth (they use the same case management system CIC does -- they can see already you have a PR app in). Bring a copy of it.

The terminology 'Temporary Foreign Worker' implies that it is part of the TFW program, which doesn't issue an OWP but rather a permit tied to a specific employer. In this person's case, they status is 'Worker'.

As profiler said, you are not in danger of overstaying. You do not need to leave Canada and re-enter as you will have status as result of applying for, and then having the OWP - there is no need to 'activate' it at the border.

Looks like they are working on your case. Any doc requests?

Probably security and criminality checks from step 2. TAkes 3-5 mos typically.
