Hi FKL,

Please help me with my query, I worked in London for 2 years in Hotel and came back to India in April 2014. Since April I am not working anywhere, now I,ll get LMO by next month. Unemployment gap of 6 months could affect my work permit ?? Thanks

Hi Vincy123,

Yes - unfortunately it has a very strong impact. Being currently unemployed in home country serves as a weak tie to home country. There might be exceptions but generally it is a red flag

Hi,

First of all thanks for creating this informative forum.

I applied for my work permit via VAC office in Islamabad on 25 Feb 2014 my application was forwarded to Canadian High commission on 26 Feb 2014. Since then the only update I have got are answers to my application status emails to the high commission in which they have given a file number and stated its 'in process and under review'. Last response was this week. I had taken a upfront medical exam via the designated facility in Islamabad and submitted that along with my application .

Can someone please let me know how long it can take further? I have seen on CIC website for Pakistan its 6 months. But in my case its been more then 6 months.

Secondly should I have received any acknowledgement or more detail updates, other than the file number in the email responses, from the high commission by now?

I am really worried why its taking this long.

Thanks.

Is anyone currently working in Canada and apply for a spouse OWP from Pakistan recently?

If yes, please share your experience and timeline if the application is ongoing or completed.

Thanks!

Did you hear anything regarding your application ? Some ppl are saying that CHC Islamabad is closed due to Dharna ? Do you know any thing ?

More than 7 months. Last I heard was early Sep when CIC said via email: under process and review. Can anyone confirm if CHC in Islamabad is open or close?

@sonuahmad,

11 weeks is not a lot. TWP can easily take 4 - 6 months from Pakistan. But 4 is a good expectation if you have a good case.

Sure, medicals are required for twp - in fact any kind of visa except a short visit (max allowing six month stay would require medicals).
