Hello all.
I am hoping someone would be able to give me a little inside of my visa application as this is sort of my last hope.
I have been in Canada since the end of June on a eTA & submitted my Open Work Permit application on July 17th by mail. I didn't seek professional advice or have a legal representative, I just downloaded the forms from the government website and submitted the supported documents they asked for. I don't recall receiving a UCI or application number. So when I tried to link my posted application to my GCKey account, without a UCI or application number, my application doesn't come up. Nothing also comes up when I fill in my person information regarding my application etc. passport number. I also cannot send an enquire email seeking help without a UCI or application number. Where do I go from here?!
I'm due to fly back home early October, however, my application has my address of my residency in Canada. Do I have to update my application? How can I do that without any way of tracking my application down? How much longer can it take? I understand for a work visa it can take a while to receive and process, but how can I get an update on how long it will be?
I also took my IELTS language test which I completed on my application. Was I supposed to attach my official results with my application? It didn't ask for any documents.

Please help. I have no idea what to do now.
Thank you.
 
On what basis did you apply for an open work permit? They are only issued under very specific circumstances. Based on the information in your post - you don't qualify for one.

What circumstances would they be? Through all of the questions and things I went through online it said I would qualify for an open work permit without a job offer and to leave that section blank on the application.
 
You most likely don't qualify and should be expecting a refusal.
