    If this is of any help. My application was received at CIC on July 4th, one day before yours, and JUST TODAY March 4th I have received the medical request...so, there is still hope. My guess is that we got the busiest (or laziest) CIC officer among July applicants.

    Open Work Permit vs. Permanent Resident Status

    Well that's wrong then!...as I am going to assume (since it is the main point on this topic) you have an OWP.

    BOWP - How many of you have applied and received it successfully?

    Errrrr....I'm not getting your question. So you are saying....say that I applied to the BOWP while my old WP expired? That wasn't my case, at all times during my process I was legal temporary resident of Canada. If your current WP has expired, but you applied for the BOWP BEFORE it expired...

    BOWP - How many of you have applied and received it successfully?

    Your application depends on luck and on the officer. Sometimes you have a very picky officer, sometimes some officers are very quick and efficient. I would only worry if it has been like 2 weeks after the processing dates mentioned on CIC website before calling. An email confirmation sent by...
