Does anyone know what the timeline for interviews at the Niagara Falls office is? People have been saying etobicoke is 6 weeks. It's been 6 days and we still haven't received the interview date (for the Niagara Falls location).

So PA got his OWP, and went to service Ontario and was given a piece of paper that said he will be eligible for his OHIP in 3 months. He was working for over a year on a working holiday visa (and then implied status) before he got his OWP so shouldn't the 3 month waiting period be void? Anyone...

Under normal circumstances, what is the longest time someone has waited for their OWP when applying for it with a PR application? (This doesn't include if you missed a signature or payment and had to resubmit). We've been waiting for over 4.5 months now. It's also been 2 months since we linked...

The applicant is currently on a working holiday visa valid for only 1 year (non extendable). It expires this November but currently because he applied for PR+OWP and has received AOR, he will have implied status, allowing him to continue to work. We know that he cannot switch employers AFTER...

I called cic today and they said they are only processing June 4th OWP's. I told the agent that people who applied July 18th are already receiving theirs - what's up with that? He had no explanation. He also wouldn't tell me any info regarding our actual app because I wasn't the PA. It's been...

I've been told by multiple people that my partner who is in Canada under a WHV, can continue to work under implied status once his WHV expires. I looked into it further and have found information that says otherwise: Because a WHV is NOT EXTENDABLE, he cannot continue to work under implied...

We linked the PR application to cic with no issues. Then we tried linking the OWP but when we select "work permit and extension", nothing happens (nothing drops down to enter info like with the other options). Then we tried selecting "Temporary resident" with a sub-selection of "work permit and...

I just noticed there is a new IMM 5669 form dated 06-2019. We sent our application yesterday with the old form from 2018. Will this be a problem?!

I (the sponsor - Canadian by birth) realized that if they scan my Canadian passport, they won't find evidence of my entries into Europe visiting my common law spouse (before we started living together) because I have dual citizenship and used my Polish passport (not by birth - my parents are...

We were finished putting our OWP + PR package together and doing a final check when we noticed that my common-law spouse (applicant) is missing stamps in his passport for entry into Canada as a visitor for Sept. 2nd 2018 and Sept. 22 2018. They just didn't stamp it! (He has an entry stamp for...

I am applying for an OWP + PR. In the employment section is asks for 10 years of employment history. I am currently on a Working holiday visa so for my current job, should the end date be the end of the working holiday visa? Or should I put todays date? Anyone have any experience with this?

When you go to pay your fees online, do you pay the 100 + 155$ for the OWP separately from the PR fees? Based on the link below, do we click "Temporarily visit, work or study in Canada" and pay the 255$ separately from the PR fees? Then we'd click "no" when it asks if we want to also apply for...

On IMM 5532, under #5 Address history (and IMM 5669 (applicants address history)): My common law partner (applicant) and I (the Canadian sponsor) traveled together for a few months nonstop abroad (Europe and Hawaii) before we settled in Canada, therefore the first 3 months of our "one year...

My common-law partner entered Canada as a visitor in September 2018, and then "flagpoled" the border to activate his working holiday visa on November 11th 2018. That being said, what date would we write on the IMM 0008 form "Generic Application Form", question #11 (What is the date and place of...

In the IMM 5556 form for an OWP application, under "Documents List", it says, "If you are a participant in the IEC program, provide proof of health insurance extension to your intended length of stay in Canada". My common law partner is currently on a working holiday visa (therefore part of...

I've noticed that people have been receiving their OWP's before their sponsor is even approved. In theory, what happens if my common law partner receives his OWP, but afterwards we are denied because we didn't have enough proof for being considered common-law? Can he work under the new OWP or...

IMM 5669, question #2 asks for the application number. I thought we only get an application number once we submit the application so how can we fill it in beforehand? Or am I wrong?

Hi there, I'm just wondering if my common law partner (primary applicant) and I (the sponsor) can go to my municipality to get a commissioner of oaths to sign the form? IMM 5409 states commissioner of oaths as an option but someone said I should get it done by a public notary. The difference...

I am sponsoring my common law partner for PR. Do we fill out IMM 5476 "Use of a Representative form" for me to be the representative? I ask because on the checklist it says: Important: If a sponsor will receive correspondence for the principal applicant, the applicant must complete their own...

On IMM 5719 (application to change conditions), the first question asks "I am applying for one or more of the following: -apply for a work permit with the same employer -apply got a work permit for the frst time or with a new employer -restore my status as a worker" ...and you're supposed to...
