Thanks for your reply. However, while reading the old posts they say that 3 weeks after uploading schedule A the background check change into "in process".. it's been more than 3 weeks and nothing changed..
When did you submit your Sch A?

When did you submit your Sch A?
I submitted mine last week. I guess you could give them a call if you're still worried about it, as others suggested.
I submitted my schedule A on Jan 03. And the background check changed to 'in process' today, Feb 09.
Hello!
I have some questions about the OWP.
me and my husband applied for PR +OWP in October. We got the AOR Dec. 18th, and got our OWP returned at the same time because of insufficient funds. We mailed the OWP app with 155$ to Vegreville and it was received Dec. 20th. We managed to link the OWP application a few weeks later.
Then two days ago my husband got a message on his account that his OWP application was cancelled because it was incomplete, with a letter saying that the correct fee is $255. We again mailed the entire application that same day with the 255$.
So, my question is - does anyone have a definitive answer as to what the correct fee for an open work permit application is? will it be returned again due to insufficient fees?
second, will it take another 6-8 weeks to process, or will we be able to get it sooner? is it completely "cancelled" and we need to start again, or will they continue processing once they get the package with the full fees?
and third - how does one contact the CIC? do they have a phone no.? I haven't found any way to contact them by phone on the website.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot, this is assuring. It means it's taking longer than the usual 3 weeks, but it's coming.
It seems we applied around the same time, so I will follow your timeline if you don't mind keep me updated.
All the best
i submited my sched a around first week of august. and around mid of december when i had a look in my account the action required change to 'update' then once i open it and see any updates it somewhat in the process it says they started my background check. and as if now it still bact to action require. so nothing to worry as i spoke to the cic when i called they say its just a computer glitch. im waiting for my medical request...
That application is completely cancelled. Once they get the package with full fees, you'll be back in the queue but will be placed behind others ahead of you. You'll likely have to wait another 2 - 3 months from when your OWP application with full payment is re-received by the Vegreville office.
The correct fee is $255: $100 for the work permit holder, and then $155 for some other fee which the name is escaping me. I too submitted only the $100 fee and had my OWP returned to me in the mail with a letter stating that I have insufficient fees. I have the full timeline in my signature - good luck! Get it in ASAP to minimize any more waiting :[
Hi, from what I remember (but please double-check) you need to pay two fees totaling $255 -
Work permit (including extensions) – per person and Open work permit holder
https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/epay/order.do?category=17
To contact CIC: 1-888-242-2100, from within Canada only, Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm local time, except for statutory holidays
Does anyone know how long OWP approval generally takes AFTER it's considered "received" by the *Vegreville* office?
I was just able to link it today on Feb 9th, 2018. and it's showing that the Vegreville office received it January 8th, 2018.

schedule A and police check uploaded last december. background check before says “not applicable”, now it says “in process” too. don’t know since when it changed.
they said background check is the longest part- takes months. so it’s normal not to hear anything from them for months.
