    ****January 2020 - Inland Spousal PR + OWP****

    Is there anyone who still can't link their OWP? I received my PR application number June 9 and could link it immediately; still no luck with OWP.

    AOR delayed.

    Yes, provided your application doesn't get returned back to you for missing signature or some other silly reason

    Open Work Permits not being approved even when meeting eligibility criteria

    I feel you, my application that I initially sent Dec 23 was returned January 28th. One small place where I missed my email. Don't know if when they send it back they highlight EVERYTHING wrong with the app, or just the first thing they see and boom, sent back immediately. If they highlighted...

    Open Work Permits not being approved even when meeting eligibility criteria

    Wait you had to send 2 photos with the OWP application too? I only sent 2 photos with the PR app, not separate photos for the included Owp Application

    Do not apply for visitor record if you have implied status as a worker

    @canuck_in_uk I somehow trust you more than call centre agents. If I submit a visitor extension now, days before my expiry, and my OWP is returned after my expiry date, won't I be under implied status as a visitor instead of directly being out of status? Won't it mean I don't need to apply for...

    Do not apply for visitor record if you have implied status as a worker

    Not gonna lie, I had a mini panic attack there.

    Do not apply for visitor record if you have implied status as a worker

    Incorrect, OWP is a completely separate permit, so I'm not technically "extending" the IEC work visa. I also called IRCC and confirmed with them and they said I can continue working Also see...

    Do not apply for visitor record if you have implied status as a worker

    They seemed nice. But if there's any chance what they said is true, I'm hesitant to extend status as a visitor.

    Do not apply for visitor record if you have implied status as a worker

    If I'm already on implied status as a worker (my current work permit expired and I've applied for OWP), then there is no reason to apply for a visitor status. That will actually make me lose my current implied status as a worker.

    Do not apply for visitor record if you have implied status as a worker

    I've been told previously on this forum that it might be a good idea to apply for a visitor record (extension as a visitor) if I haven't received AOR yet (for PR + OWP) since if my application is returned after the expiry date of the current status I have, I will no longer be able to apply for...

    DECEMBER 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    Sorry for another question :rolleyes: I tried calling and they said they're "experiencing high number of calls" and could not put me in a queue. Do you remember what options you pressed to reach an agent? I pressed "2" for sponsorship, then "1" as I'm sponsor, then "0" for talking to an agent.

    In land Spousal Sponsorship OWP/PR Status in Canada question

    That's what I would do. Assuming you applied for visitor extension before your partner's status expired, I don't think you need to apply for restoration or pay that fee. I could be wrong, though. Make sure you pay the correct $255 for the open work permit so it isn't returned!

    Open Work Permits not being approved even when meeting eligibility criteria

    Stupid question, but MP = Member of Parliament? Would we reach out the our local MP? Also, when you applied for restoration when your OWP was returned, was it to restore status as a visitor? I'm guessing your partner wasn't able to work after applying for restoration? Thanks!
