Anyone know about processing times with the Ottawa office? I got through to someone via the CIC help line and they told me there are no notes on my file, just that security and criminality is passed. The person I spoke to said that officers sometimes don't put notes on the file, but that seems...

Same here. Happened between 11 am and 1:30 PM today.

PPR: Dec 15th PP Sent: Dec 19th PP Received: Dec 20th No updates on myCIC and no tracker activation. I guess it has only been 7 business days, so maybe myCIC will be updates next week sometime?

I got my BOWP in the mail yesterday. Took 4.5 months and I'm still not sure how exactly it happened, but I am overjoyed. For those that submitted their BOWP appplications before ITA, don't depend on it working out, but don't lose hope either.

I had a bit of a weird discussion with a call center agent and am hoping someone has guidance. To give you some context, I submitted a paper BOWP application before I had an ITA because my work permit was expiring. I eventually did end up getting an ITA and sent in a followup package to...

Yes, you can apply for BOWP with the AOR you received after submitting your PR application. They will just wait until you have passed the completeness check before they process your application. To be honest, i don't know what people refer to when they refer to a 2nd AOR...

Yup, I made it abundantly clear that all I had was my AOR from Ontario at the time of submitting my application. The call just means the looked at my application and realized I was missing a document, I don't think it necessarily means it will get approved. I'm surprised they even called.

I think it depends on the officer. I was in the exact same position as you and last week I got a call from an officer saying that everything was good and that she only needed a copy of my OINP nomination certificate to approve my application...haven't heard anything back since I faxed it in...

First time posting on this thread. OINP Timeline: Submission: Jan 14th AOR: June 20th Nomination: July 20th EE Timeline: ITA: July 27th AOR: Aug 24th Change in status on Sept 10th Medicals: Passed Review of Eligibility: In Progress BG Check: In Progress I also got a ghost email on Sept...

Why? What is the point of telling CIC that your BOWP application was refused? They are the ones that refused your application. It's not like you lied on your initial application.

Sorry to hear about the refusal. Atleast it wasn't a rejection, which is what we were initially scared about. When exactly did you submit your BOWP application? Trying to get a sense of how long it took them to process the application.

I know there are lots of threads discussing active BOWP applications, but wanted to get updates from people who had submitted their paper applications without EE AOR. Just trying to be helpful here, so if this is already discussed elsewhere, please ignore and just point me in that direction...

Thanks Stanlee. I recalculated the numbers of days I spent in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia and it turns out that I have only spent more than 6 months in Saudi Arabia and not Pakistan. When I go on the CIC police certificate website and check on how to get police certificates for Saudi, it says the...

Experts, I'm filling out my online application and my document checklist has "police certificates (multiple) (required)" even though I haven't lived in any country other than Canada for more than 6 months consecutively since turning 18. I have spent more than 6 months in aggregate in Saudi...

Congrats! It's awesome that you got your nomination before your work permit expires. No, you won't get any letter or email from OINP other than the message you have in your mycic portal. I would be very surprised if your points get updated within 24 hours. It took 4 days for me from the date of...

Maybe it is different for other provinces, but for Ontario, you get an email saying you have a new message in your CIC account.

I also got OINP nomination on implied status.

There is! Call the Ontario Ombudsman's complaint hotline and file a complaint against MCIIT and specifically the OINP. It's the ombudsman office's job to look into procedural delays and mishaps by government departments so they have a lot of power. Think of it like the police for the government...

Yeah, that's how I understand it as well. That's why I will likely apply for a visitor visa within 90 days of my work permit expiry to be safe. It would be great to get some advice from people that have already heard back from CIC on how their BOWP application was treated if they didn't have EE...

Timeline for BOWP? I submitted a paper application which was delivered on June 30th. My PGWP expired on July 5th.
