Thanks so much Love_Young. My husband is constantly telling me the same thing. He's the kinda guy that doesn't bother worrying about anything until it becomes a real problem, in which case he still doesn't worry he just fixes it, LOL. Both our husbands are so right! I just like to be in control of or at least be aware of the status of a situation though, so it's tough for me to just sit back and wait! Alright I'm signing off the forum and not checking eCas or anything else CIC related for a few days. Thanks again for the words of support. Soooo much appreciated!!  You're welcome absentgodot!  Yes, very same for my hubby and they are right. Right after I got my AIP approved hubby didn't stop saying "I told ya so" for at least a full 5 minutes. Lol. He was not going to let me forget it. I too, like to be in control of the situations in my life and had such a hard time handing it over for someone but they got us and understood us. Now here we are moving through to our future and no more CIC needed for a couple more years. Anytime you need support just write here or send me a PM, I'll be here and so will everyone else.  |

Vacation. Sad truth of it. They are already low on staff but like any one else, they go on vacation and most of the time in August. You always see the biggest slow down around August/September and then again after the Christmas holidays. |

pptk, I would not apply for an open work permit now. You are so close to them making a decision. It would be a waste.
Question, if you did not apply for the WP and then you get approved for both stages, what do you take to service canada so they can give you a temporary SIN?
Also, for the people that are waiting for the update. A few weeks ago they updated it on Thursday but used Wednesday's date. We will probably see the change tomorrow.

It is vacation pepe! Same thing happened to us last year. pptk, I would not apply for an open work permit now. You are so close to them making a decision. It would be a waste.

You can't get a temporary SIN without an OWP. |

If you are approved for both stages, and did not apply for or were still waiting for approval of an OWP, you must wait until you receive the actual PR card and can apply for your permanent SIN. They will not allow you to apply for a temporary one, or to apply for the permanent one with the COPR. Rather frustrating!! |

I can't help it either.  I can't believe it will be almost 3 months (Sept 1) that I have been a PR. The PR life goes fast. Lol. Congrats on your 1 month on being a PR. My one month happened to fall on Canada Day which was pretty awesome.  You are welcome for the chart. I wish I was able to be more frequent with it thought. I will keep trying. If you are approved for both stages, and did not apply for or were still waiting for approval of an OWP, you must wait until you receive the actual PR card and can apply for your permanent SIN. They will not allow you to apply for a temporary one, or to apply for the permanent one with the COPR.
Rather frustrating!!
Yeah it sure is. I know for myself as this what I had to do. I got my OWP the afternoon before landing and by the time I got it, I couldn't get out to get a temporary SIN that day then I landed early that morning. Later I went to get a SIN and learned the hard way around. But now I have my number and just waiting on the card to come in the mail. Which seems to feel a lot longer than my PR card. Lol. I know I don't need it but it would just be nice to have that final piece in my hand. |

Thanks everyone for the response about my OWP issue. I was going to send the application this morning, however, I thought about everyone's comments and called CIC again just to confirm my decision, this time the agent told me NOT to send the OWP application, he said it will get rejected since I didn't apply for one initially. When I told him 2 agents told me I can send one in now and write "attach to the APR" then the application will get processed and I'll receive OWP at AIP, he said it's impossible.  Really, the experience of speaking with CIC agents are just frustrating, I called 5 times in 2 days and got different answers each time.. At the end, I decided not to send the OWP application and am getting $150 refund back. As most people said, it will take only 2 weeks until my AIP and possibly both stages approved, I might as well wait for it. I've decided that if I don't get 2nd stage approval by the end of October then I'll submit an OWP application so I can start working in 2012. Again, I am grateful for everyone's input. Now let's hope for the best. |
