what i can figure out is this..

Canada is gong through economic recession
they are working more on student applications since students brings money from other countries
henceforth we are the ones who`s getting suffered for this economic crisis.
Did you rcvd your wp ext???

Hi Guys, just want to ask if anyone here experienced to apply their OWP renewal 4mos before it expire then decided to go home for a vacation in the Philippines since current OWP and Visa is still valid?

I am getting confused now whether should I apply before I go home or after I come back from my vacation but the problem is by the time I get back here then I will be close to the expiration date and I checked that processing time by paper takes up to 120 days. My OWP visa is expiring in August 15, 2016 and I am thinking of going home last week of April to May 15. My question is, If I will renew my owp first week of April and go home will it be a problem? Or it doesn’t matter since I still have a valid work permit and visa.

Thank you in advance!

I applied in October, went home (US) for a week for Christmas, no issues. Still don't have my new wp yet, but no one does. I would say you should apply 4-5 months before your current permit is up, and I am pretty sure you can travel as long as your current one is still active. Once you are on implied status though, you are pretty well stuck here.

Oh thank you! You shed light to my worries! Yeah i don't think that my renewal application will even be opened by the time that I come back and you're right I still have a Valid WP n visa :)

Just checked the CIC updates and for online applicants (same employer) it says:
"140 days, working on applications received March 9, 2015".

And for paper applicants it says:
"120 days, working on applications received on unidentified NaN NaN"

March 9, 2015??? And what is it with the NaN NaN? I know time is relative, but they do need to look at their calendars from time to time ...

Is it only me or are they making a joke out of our lives?!

I applied on October 6th and yeah, I know, I am on implied status and I can stick around my job for a few months longer ... but I have been without OHIP ever since and healthcare out of our own pockets here is NOT cheap! And I am a taxpayer!

Just needed to vent it out, bureaucracy sucks bigtime ...
