since it's a closed fb group, we can't see what you are posting.

how was it confirmed this was actually from the new pilot program?
 
One July 2014 applicant living in Montreal, QC has just received OWP under the pilot program in the physical mail today. He is Erik Mongrain. The OWP was issued on December 24, 2014 and is valid for two year. FYI: Erik's OWP was issued December 24, mailed out December 29, delivered at his home mailbox in Montreal today January 5 2015. The OWP came from Vegreville, Alberta.

The Erik Mongrain...guitarist extraordinaire?!

Can't be, because he was born in Montreal and wouldn't need an OWP. ;D
 
congratulations, seems like they are on the ball regarding the OWP:)

That's incredible! Have you heard him play?

Search YouTube for `Air Taps' and prepare to be amazed!
 
I hope this means that applicants who applied before July 2014 can expect their OWP soon too?? ::)
 
A few more people in Facebook page reported that they have received OWP in the mail. The time range for AOR greatly varies.

Any idea on their AORs? Are we seeing any pattern with who is getting the pilot-OWP first?
 
After reading this thread last night I tried calling CIC today and for the first time I got a hard time to get through.... I guess 12x, for the past months I've been so lucky to get through in 1 dial.

I'm also July applicant and received AOR in August, I hope we get ours as well!

Thanks and let's continue sharing info!
