Work Permit During Spouse Sponsorship process

[RobsLuv]

Hi RobsLuv! I finally did my extension of OWP today and i did it by online application. Is it ok to do it by online or by mailing? Because the last time I did it by post mail. The  application online form is different in the mailing forms thats why i got little confused. The questionnaires are not the same ...let me know your opinion. Thanks a bunch!

In my opinion, the advantage to applying by mail is that you can track the mailing, get delivery confirmation, and then have written proof that your application was received before your status expired.  If you can get that through an online receipt, that's fine as well.  The ability to apply online just came in as I was applying for the last time - so I never used it.  Don't know what options you have for confirmation of receipt online, but if you have them, go for it.  Online is certainly faster and easier than going to the post office and paying extra $$ to send with tracking.

Thanks again!  Online application is much easier as I realized it today just the questionnaire is not the same as when you send it by mail but everything is clear ,in the end I got the confirmation number and they also send a message of confirmation in my email , its saves time and money !

Hello Robsluv,

 I read all your post here Im wondering if you can help me, I am almost the same situation here my work permit was already expired last Dec. 14, 2011 and I submit my spousal for PR application on Dec.01.2011 and the problem was I didnt include the application for open work permit because until now I am waiting for my LMO for my new job.

Hi RobsLuv! Finally I got a letter of my working permit yesterday . I found that online application was very fast in processing it only took me 10 days. Yesterday I went to service canada to renew my OWP and it was the same SIN number but the expiry date was issued One year. And you know what today my ecas changed to:
 
We sent you a letter on February 7, 2012 about the decision on your application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us. If we have sent the letter to the wrong address, please contact us.

Oh my God. Finally its gonna be over soon once i receive the letter for my PR . Well if I knew this letter will come I shouldnt applied for an extension of my OWP hmmm because I paid 150$  anyway its ok now at least the final days of waiting is over...Thank you and for all here whos  still waiting just hang in there and everything has its own time. I keep you posted once i got the letter.
