Just wondering if anyone else has seen a change in the language used to display the status of your applications. It used to have a lot of 1 or 2 word status messages (eg. Not Started, Passed) but now has full sentences in its place.

An example of what I'm seeing now: "We received your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you."

Hubby received his approval letter for Open Work Permit on March 2! Yay! Npw background check is in process for PR.

My husband wants to travel to the US in July for about a week (without me). His concern is being denied re-entry. But as far as he was told by a Border Services Officer that he must provide he has proof of his open work permit status, proof of application of PR, employment letter, etc. What are the chances that he will get denied re-entry?

And if we travel to the US for a day together, I believe it should not be an issue to re-enter?

Congrats on receiving OWP.

Should be fine to take a short trip. Just carry all relevant supporting documents with you, just in case. Chances are low that he would be denied entry but there is no guarantee. I think it would be okay.

Yes I had not checked in a week and I noticed change when I signed in today. Someone mentioned that there was an update and I checked.

We got our application received November 15, 2016. Got approval on March 2, 2017. We should be receiving it in the mail soon.

Definitely within the 4 months timeline
