Hello everyone,
I really need your help and advise. Actually i came in Canada in Jan 2016( with a visitor visa) accompanying my common law partner for her studies here.
I wanted to extend my stay and get an open work permit. Thus i applied for extension of my stay and an open work permit online on 25th Jan 2016. However, the normal processing time of 3 months has already passed and have not received any update. Few days back i phoned cic office and they said they have referred my file to the local office but they can't say the reasons behind. There is no processing time frame as well now. can some please advise me why normally files are referred to local office and about the time frame. Has anyone experienced this procedures before. Please help.
