First date would have been application of receipt. Just acknowledging that they received it. Most likely started working on it at the second date.

so the date that says - working on application received on dec 11, 2015 on cic, it means that they are working on application they received on that date or the ones that they opened on that day?
sooo confusing.. :eek:

Where are you getting the dates from? Does it say on the CIC website that they are working on applications from december 11th or did you receive an email saying that?

Either way, if it is on the website, it means they are beginning to start looking at applciations after december 11th. If you received an email then they started processing yours in feb, like you mentioned above.

The OWP progress isn't noted anywhere.

If the application and OWP were received Dec 21, 2015 the OWP process was likely started shortly thereafter.

Hopefully they paid $255, or the OWP application will probably be returned.
