THOSE WHO HAD AOR IN APRIL AND APPLIED FROM INSIDE CANADA DISCUSS HERE

[Popey778]

Has anyone who has applied for a BOWP with their first AOR received their new WP's?

Hi michtr,
My buddy is about to apply (today) as CIC put him in a category then cancelled his app after he applied in April, they cancelled it last week. No reason either.

Congrats Gary. I am really happy to see this with an inland applicant.

I applied on April 12th for the BOWP. At that time I didn't even receive the first AOR (App subm Apr 4 and the AOR came on Apr 20). I had to do because my WP was expiring on April 13.
Up to now I didn't hear anything back, but I'm rather nervous for it, since the specs are changed and the processing time is continuously increasing. I already expected feedback on this some time ago, but now the processing time is at 96 days for online and 108 days for paper applications. I submitted the online application.
2 weeks ago I received the update mails for the BOWP application, but nothing changed (the same for the WP for my wife and the visitor records of my kids).

Hi I applied on the 13th for BOWP online too and no news since then, got an update email about 2 weeks ago as well. Let me know if you have news we have a very similar timeline. Thanks.

Indeed looks like a very similar timeline.
Did you apply as single applicant or with dependents?
I have an application for me, my wife and 2 kids.
I suppose this will take longer than a single application.

Congratulations!!
Should you apply for your PR Card now?

why the visa is valid for a year though?

 

[gary.bhanot]

hey AAlhadka,

The visa is only valid for 1 year and it says i have to come to Canada within the same time and there would be no exception to it. Since, i am already in Canada i will just do the landing procedure at the Buffalo airport.

Im a single applicant, but I lived in 3 different countries, so I guess it will take longer for me as well.

I guess my case will be even more complicated, I have two dependants and have lived in three different countries.......

Well, than I'm still beating you, 3 dependants and 3 countries.
And to make matters even more complicated, I had a divorce before and my kids from my first marriage are living with me in Canada with their mothers approval.
