Im not sure, this confused me as well I thought Canada issued the OWP? I had a feeling they might both be sending me in the opposite direction. Well they did mention a while ago the application is sent to Sao Paulo now for the PR stage...

No we applied inland, we already have the approved OWP but was only issued for 1 month till the expiry of her old passport. We just sent in the new passport details and are now looking for a new OWP or extention for the appropriate time, based on the new passport. I think they usually give 2...

So I received a letter from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada saying they have confirmation of the new passport. They then said... "Since your file is located at a Canadian visa office outside Canada, you must also contact them in order to report important changes, provide documents...

Great will do, thank you. Definitely overlooked this with all the pressure getting things together!

Oh, damn it looks like that was because her old passport expired on that day! She has since got a new passport for 10 years. How would we go about submitting the new visa info, and can we get a re-issue OWP after they have the new passport info? I hope we can do this within the month and get...

Hello again! So we finally got the open work permit today! But the open work permit they gave us expires in 1 month?! The application for permanent residency is in process of course probably for a year and a bit. What do I do with 1 month open work permit? Is this just the bridging permit...

Can or should we still apply for the open work permit at the same time? Even if its a couple months sooner, would still make a big difference financially to be able to work that much sooner. Cheers Oh, I see now, work permits for inland only can apply for the open work permit. At the cost of...

I see, very interesing. But she lives with me here in Canada. Does she then have to move home while she is waiting? Or can she stay here with here tourist Visa still. She is visiting Brazil for 1 month in June, so she could apply outland at that time, although will be coming back at the end of...

Thanks for all the help. I have another question about the sponsorship. So we got the other visitor extension this time very quickly, about 1 month. Great. The estimated time for Brazil outland is 8 months compared to inland 26months, is this what your referring to? At the moment we would...

Ok, yeah thanks for the help. We'll apply again.

So we got her Visa Extension the other day after 4 MONTHS! And now it expires on March 7th?! We only have 2 months to go for the full year till we apply for common law. But now do we have to apply for another visa extension?? It says she needs to leave the country by March 7th. This is complete...

Ok, thank you. I think we'll just have to wait for May and hopefully the wait time is not that long.

Hi, I am wondering what the average time is to receive an open work permit when submitting with a Sponsorship application. I hear they say 4 months but I thought I saw somewhere as soon as 2 weeks? Also, although our relationship was long distance for a little while, we have been living...

Anything?

Thank you, we sent off the application a week ago so are now waiting. I have another question however. On a multiple entry tourist visa, does she need a return ticket to Brazil to re-enter Canada? Her return ticket to Brazil is for the end of this month, which we decided to forfeit. One last...
