Hi Visita44, thanks for letting me, that's very reassuring!!

Thanks Charlie for your quick response! Also I have just one tiny concern...I couldn't find my very first study permit, so I don't know if they would be OK with that. CIC said if I can't find it, there is nothing I can do, just bring whatever I have currently to the interview. I hope this won't...

Hey everyone, I just received a letter from CIC local office saying that my application has been completed and they require an interview. The date, time and location have been given to me. I did a quick search on this forum for the possible questions they may ask, it seems like they could...

Hi everyone, I have a quick question about application for the multiple re-entry visa. So I had the instruction guide that I used when I was a student and I was able to retrieve all the forms on CIC website. However, I had to submit my transcipt and school letter when I was a student in...

Just received my OWP! It is 2 years :)

Hi Love Young, Thanks sooo much for all the info! It has definitely made me feel better since I'm getting kinda antsy here :) Actually...CIC issued AIP on Nov 8, 2010, but did not mail me the letter until Jan 8, 2011....that was a 2 months delay there! Apparently they did not even mail it out...

Hi Saralune! Thanks for sharing your story! Now I am more confident about making the phone call to the MP's office! I plan on calling first thing tomorrow morning! The local MP I found, according to my postal code, is also with NDP. He looks friendly enough from the picture..but who knows! I...

Visita 44, Yes I have been calling CIC quite frequently but they keep telling me the same thing (things are moving along, we are just waiting for your background check etc.) I am actually going to try to contact my local MP this week to see if he can give me some advice. Honestly I have no idea...

Visita44, No I don't have the actual OWP yet...I just called this evening and used the automated phone services. I have been checking pretty much once every 2 days just to see if they have even started processing my application. So today the recording said that they have approved of my OWP...

That's perfect then! I just renewed my passport this July and there are 10 years on it!!! :D

Hi Visita44, Thanks for the reply! So....I just found out that my OWP has been approved, I was wondering if there is an expiry date on it, like everything else (study permit, post-grad work permit). If it's valid until I get my PR, which I don't know exactly when, then there is no expiry date...

For those of you who have obtained the OWP, how long is it valid for? Has renewal been a problem?

Hi Love Young! Thanks very much for the reply! Nothing on the e Cas says a letter was sent to me so my file probably hasn't been sent to the local office yet then? Also I just called CIC automated phone service. They have approved of my OWP application just yesterday, which was also my...

How did everyone find out whether their files had been transferred to the local office? I haven't received anything from CIC besides the AIP letter and the second medical checkup form...is it just assumed that after AIP the file will be transferred to local office automatically?

Thank you very much! From your experiences, is it difficult to make an appointment to see the MP?

I apologize for my ignorance, but what does "MP" stand for and how can I locate him/her?

Hi everyone, I have a quick question regarding sending an inquiry to CIC by mail. Long story short, I applied for my PR in Sept 2008 and received AIP in Nov 2010. I completed my 2nd medical checkup in Feb 2011 and CIC received all the other required documents in March 2011. I've been contacting...

Hi Mexicanito, Sorry I did not explain my situation a little more clearly - I actually applied for my PR back in 2008 Sept, and received AIP in Nov 2010. So it's already been almost a year since I received the AIP (and I just applied for the spousal OWP on Sept 14, 2011). I didn't submit the...

Hi Leon, Thanks very much for your reply! Yes my husband is a Canadian citizen and the PR application was through inland process. I received a letter last November saying that my husband is eligible as a sponsor (I assume that's the so-called AIP letter). It's a relief to know that the OWP is...

HI everyone, I am new to this forum so this question/topic may have been discussed in the past. I thought I would just briefly describe my situation here just to get some opinions. I have recently obtained my master's degree and am eager to start to look for a job. I also just found out that I...
