Processing time for Open Work Permit

[matetski]

Hi there! I have a concern about the processing of my application. I dont know what is going on in the processing time of OWP. My application already 14mos. Before the anniversary date of my application, i phone the call center to inquire the Lady answered me, "It takes 11-12 mos. After a year of my application I phoned again, They said, the processing is 13-14mos. My application is on 15th mos this Month. My friend received her OWP a while ago. We both filled our application at the same time. I phone again the call center for follow-up because im expexting mine either. But, the lady said its 18mos for the processing! I dont have any idea when i can received the approval of my OWP because everytime i phoned to ask they adding months for the processing. Is there any way that i know what is the status of my appliation? Please let know. I am hoping for your positive response. Thank you and God Bless!
