Just received my AOR 30 mins ago. I'm 16th Oct applicant's. Linked my application by using the application number & UCI. Works fine!

Just set your phone to alert you when you have a new email.

It will never come if you keep relentlessly checking it, but if you relax and forget about it for a while it will appear, that's like one of lifes rules lol.

IRCC

IRCC will send your application back asking you to use the revised version so your application will be on the next queue when you resend it. At the moment you cannot do anything about it.
omg! we did same thing ...been trying to call ircc but no luck today :(

As long as you have a valid temporary visa, you can apply for a US visa from any US consulate in Canada.
My visitor visa was expired on Oct, I applied for visa extension on Aug but I haven't heard any news from it. However, I got OWP on Dec, so I guess I can consider it as a temporary visa to go out and in Can, am I correct?

If you have received your OWP, then you should cancel your extension application as a visitor - you don't need it! You might get refund if it hasn't been processed. The OWP is not a visa to travel outside Canada and you cannot use it to re-enter Canada. With this OWP you should apply for Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) online through MyCIC and ensure that you have received the visa sticker in your passport before you leave Canada. This only applies to you if you are a visa national. Otherwise, you might have to simply apply for e-TA or can re-enter with the OWP if you are US citizen.

I have a question please. i submitted my application one month ago but i just paid 100 instead of 255 for OWP, i am wondering will they return the whole application or the OWP only? Is there any possibility to pay the 155 to fix that i have not received the AOR yet?

Thanks inadvace

Anybody else having trouble linking OWP to your account? We returned ours to the Vegreville office and it arrived there on Nov 15. I've been trying every day to link it but no matter what it says not available. I'm starting to worry!! We need this work permit ASAP :(

I would try!! Make the payment and submit the proof by uploading the receipt to your account. Hopefully they accept it and don't send it back, I've had mine returned and still waiting to link to my account (originally submitted with Spousal Sponsorship app on Sep 5, returned to Vegreville office on Nov 15..)

I've heard it's up to the processing agent what they decide to do. Many have received their application back, but a few lucky ones have had the agent deduct the amount from the PR fee and then asked to make up for the payment online (much more efficient and convenient!!). Hope you're one of the lucky ones!
