I know about PR. With OWP, if you don't have status they issue it once you have AIP. At least to my knowledge ...

See my edit ^^

- Applicants whose application for permanent residence is being processed under the spousal public policy (subcategory “PP” in GCMS) on the basis that they do not have a valid temporary resident status are not eligible to be issued an open work permit under the pilot project. They must wait until they receive approval in principle to be eligible to apply for an open work permit.

So I guess you become eligible after AIP...

Did they add the sub-category code in GCMS? If they did, you can contact them to see about repealing that...

PP code? No, I don't think so. I guess they wait for the 90 days restoration period to pass.

Edit: category FC1, sub-category CDA

Just check your notes quick then I would try to contact them to make sure you are not being processed by SPP. If not, then get that OWP already!

FC1 or FCC case processed within Canada under the Spouse and Common-law Partner in Canada class: CDA
FC1 or FCC case processed overseas (including CPC-O): OVS*
FCH cases processed within Canada under the spousal public policy: PP

GET ON THAT OWP ALREADY!!

Guess I'm gonna have multiple parties : OWP party, first job interview party, first pay check party and landing party! Gotta find some excuses for that red wine that sits on the counter :D

That's the spirit! Though you might need a few more bottles..

OWP won't come for 4 months, so that gives you time to snaz up your cv/resume and start your search.

You applied for OWP at the same time you applied for PR? If you were out of status when you applied for the OWP, then you might have to wait for AIP..

Better send a query in through CSE to ask...

Yes I sent the OWP app in the same envelope (box) with my PR to Mississauga office. Damn right I'm gonna send a query because I do qualify for the program and to be honest, no one even opened the WP file yet...

Yeah I think it will come down to timing here. If they haven't touched it before your application to restore status (because that also gives you implied status) then you should be ok. That said, if they wanted to be sticklers about it, they could say no that when you applied you were out of status.... could go either way. Let me know what happens!

Will do! Although I could use some help from your crystal ball :)

"The future is murky" ;)

My guess, they will look at it as you were not aware, you corrected the status problem, they will grant it.

And is the key word here.

Just trying to save some pain...

You can, but if they have trouble reading they will send back.

We did two separate with "English" and "Cyrillic" at the tops... no return and a PCC aside, they've processed all but silently...

Thanks! I'll take that into account. Better safe than sorry :)
