Thanks a lot frege and truesmile! (Frege - having a valid WP gives one the right to stay in Canada legally until the expiration date; I just could not work for any other employer unless I went through another LMO and WP process - which made no sense because all this happened just a few months...

Hello, My spouse and I will be heading to a border/port of entry to complete the official landing process (COPR received for Spousal Sponsorship category). I have been in Canada for about 6 years now; my most recent (and current) status document is a closed (employer-specific) WP. However, soon...

Thanks very much canuck.... even after causing this delay, the lawyer is now insisting they have never before sent copies of the receipt to both offices simultaneously... aaarrgghh... and here I thought lawyers were meant to help smooth out the process, not add to our woes!! Anyway I will be...

Hello all, My spouse and I received the request to make the RPRF payment a couple of days ago. Turns out our wonderful lawyer "forgot" to mention that the RPRF (Right to Permanent Residence Fee) could have been paid soon after we received a UCI, thus saving us anywhere from 1-2 months. But I...

Thanks a lot, Scylla!! I will have to light a fire under some people's a** now, I guess :) This forum rocks ;D

Hi Scylla, Thanks for the prompt response!! That is news to me!! We're actually going through a lawyer and this was based on their advice - to send an RCMP clearance together with the package?? I believe this is because both my spouse and I currently live in Canada and have lived here for a...

Hello all, My spouse and I are submitting an outland spoousal sponsorship application. We have had all the documents ready for a while now but sadly our application is not ready for submission (or so we're told) because the RCMP police check results are not back yet. As it turned out, the...

Hello again, Apologies for repeating myself but I want to be absolutely sure before I "exit" the country to get a WP at a POE - if I were to have already quit the last job (the one which the current WP is for) and I have the +ve LMO for the new one, does the fact that I would be "in limbo"...

Hi theoffspring/bananawolf, Thank you very much for sharing your experiences with getting a WP at the POE. So just to clarify, if I have a positive LMO and a valid "closed"/restricted WP (from past employment) and a U.S. visa, I can exit Canada, go to the POE and request a new WP at that...

Hi truesmile - thanks again! yes, the wp did have conditions attached to it - which is why I will have to go through the LMO etc to get a new one. Mine is outland.... thanks so much!

thanks truesmile :) yes, I pretty much flew through them and eagerly awaiting the next movie :) good eye lol... so, again - the reason for my question was that the wp was for a job that I am now no longer in; does that affect the maintenance of my status while the pr is in process?? I'm trying...

Hi everyone! I am very hopeful that one of the senior/champion members here can answer my question: I have been in Canada for about 3 years of which the last (almost) 2 yrs have been on WP - initially a PGWP and then a closed WP. In this past little while, I met my now-spouse and we are going...

Hi, Just wanted to add my "two cents" - I had a similar question and my lawyer explained it to me as follows: This only applies to "concurrent processing", which means CIC will not consider WP apps without proof that an LMO is already in process. If one wishes to apply for a WP before...

Hi Regdor, I am not sure about the second half of your query (about signatures etc) but I am familiar with the first half! The "Use of a Representative" form in an LMO/WP application is only intended for legal advisors who are acting on your behalf i.e. if you (or your employer) have appointed...

Hi canpr, Thanks so much for the reply! I didn't know about the OHIP; that is definitely useful information to know. Fingers crossed that the LMO approval comes through before the new arbitrary "60-day" wait the CIC is conducting before just rejecting applications!!

Hi everyone, I am working on a PGWP which expires tomorrow! I have applied for a "closed/employer based" WP (based on an LMO which is still under processing) earlier this week. I know that I am now considered to be "working on implied status" but was wondering if the CIC issues any documents...

Hi Terry, Thanks a lot; my employer called them once a week over the past 3 weeks and finally received a file number yesterday :) hope to hear some good news soon!!

Hi everyone, I am currently in a Full Time position in Ontario; I started out on a PGWP and will soon be receiving my closed WP (employer - based work permit). I have collected all my documents for the FSW app - I will be applying under the Arranged Offer category - but have a couple of quick...

thanks Albertian... I will keep you posted!! good luck to all of us :)

Just thought I would let everyone know.... my employer just called SC Toronto and they are currently working on applications received until December 5th... hang in there ladies and gentlemen ;)
