Oct 2015 applicant Just got my GCMS notes. Not sure what I was expecting because basically everything says "Not started." Luckily they have received my documents I submitted after my application (Option C printout and proof of payment) and I'm part of the 2016 reduction exercise.So still in...

Oct 2015 applicant, AOR and OWP received in April 2016. No correspondence since. Here's another question about travelling while app is in progress, but the situation is a little different. I have my OWP and a job in Canada working for a Canadian company that has recently opened a business in...

Oct 2nd here too but my ECAS has said "Medical results received" for the past 2 months with no other updates, ever since I got my AOR and was able to check my status online. Not sure if it means anything other than hopefully we don't have to do our medicals again.

Some places will take the photos there so I would call the office and check. I did mine at an e-medical place and they took photos and sent everything directly to CIC. Make sure you leave with some kind of receipt (mine had my photo, info, and a barcode). Some (maybe all?) doctors require...

Update for the spreadsheet here: Applied Oct 2nd, 2015 OWP approved April 1st, 2016 OWP received in mail April 7th, 2016 AOR by email April 2nd, 2016 Just in case this helps someone, I did travel back to the US a few weeks ago. I was feeling sick and it was much cheaper to get treatment in the...

Good news! Oct 2nd applicant here. My MP emailed me back this morning saying my work permit has been approved! He even included info from CIC like my OWP number, application number for PR, and UCI number. I honestly didn't think the MP would be this helpful but he really went above and beyond...

Why do you think it's not restoration for sure? Her OWP expired, she lost her status as a worker, and now she wants to restore her worker status. That sounds right to me. $255 is correct but I am not sure if you want Unit 555 or 777 (maybe someone else knows exactly).

Congrats, that is VERY exciting news for a lot of us! I'm also Oct 2nd and as of last week no update. But my MP did get back to me and had me sign a form for CIC to release info to his office, so hopefully that will help move things along.

Case-specific inquiry was a was a bust. All it said was that the call centre agent I spoke to on Feb 2nd took action and I need to wait 90 days for a response. What a joke. At this rate, I am honestly wondering if it would be better to withdraw everything and restart with an outland app.

I've had a few mean ones and a few really nice ones... None of them were helpful. I've been told the same thing once a week since Feb 2nd: that I need to wait for a response on my case-specific inquiry (30 business days) or wait for the office to take action on that note (90 days). Other than...

Does anyone know how CIC responds to case-specific inquiries? Is it by email? Do they even respond or does it just get ignored? I want to keep an eye out for it since my MP is out of the office for a few weeks (my luck!), call centre agents are unhelpful ("We're opening up Sept 28 applications...

I looked up my MP by postal code and sent him a semi-formal email explaining how I applied, how long I have been waiting, actions taken so far, and how I'm still part of the thousands of foreign spouses trapped in Canada unable to work. I threw in a little sob story about being stressed...

Oct 2nd applicant here and same thing :( The call centre agents won't even look at my file anymore because "action has already been taken and there is nothing you can do but wait." Guess I have to focus my efforts on stalking my mailman now. I did write to my MP last Friday but no response yet.

Just curious why you're saying the OWP would be only $155? It doesn't sound like OP's wife currently has a work permit and she is only on a tourist visa. If you are applying for PR inland with an OWP app, you also need to include the $100 for the OWP holder fee. Beware that your application will...

It's easy, especially since you've already found this website! Many questions about the forms and instructions are already answered in previous threads and it's not hard to look them up. Save the money and skip the attorney unless you have a very complicated situation (lots of criminal history...

Oct 2nd applicant Called the call centre today. Work permit app is still in my package and hasn't been entered into the computer system yet. There is a note on my file from one week ago requesting that the work permit app be processed, from when I called at the 4-month mark. The agent today...

It's something like this (after the French message): Press 1 - Application status Press 1 - Find the status Press 2 - Temporary work permit Listen to the processing time blah blah Press 1 - Continue Application number: Any random number & the pound key Press 1 to confirm Birth year: XXXX Press...

Oct 2nd applicant. I called CIC this morning. The agent told me that my PR application has been entered into the system but my work permit app hasn't. He even looked it up by my receipt number. He said he would have someone look into it since it has been past the normal processing time and that...

Just curious if any US people have done this successfully? I'm waiting on OWP but I know it does not authorize re-entry. Will the OWP help me at all if I decide to leave Canada for a week or two then come back?

Also if I could also be added to that timeline that would be great! App received: Oct 2nd, 2015 Country of origin: USA Canadian city we live in: Calgary, AB Medical, police, and OWP all sent with PR app. Zero correspondence so far but hopefully only a few more days until the OWP is processed.
