Hi, I went on vacation last december that's why I asked my husband to sign all forms that need his signature.

Any update yet?

I don't agree with you, since I know people, whose process has been lasting over 7 months. They are afraid to write about it in the forum because they are afraid to voice out there issues, since they may have to deal with immigration service payback. They continue to live in fear. Please see aso Helen8868's letter above.
There are people in form, who state that their process was complete in 1 month. I think it is a way government advertises the program. But reality is that there are more people whose process lasted more than 6 months.

I am forced to respond to this based on the simple fact that there are some misconceptions about the working of the CIC now IRCC processing time.

In another vein, I did discovered that people don't really read much of the previous post and apply it to their current immigration application/situation.

I will be making my submission based on the fact that I applied twice, now I got it nevertheless that others have an ideal what could add up to prolong processing time in their application.

Now, my processing time spanned 8 months in total. Why? am married and CIC would have to do background check on me and my wife. Secondly, I and my wife lived separately for 5years but legally married. So this are hints that could cause delay.

I applied 2nd time in September 2015, became permanent resident 3/feb/2016 while wife and kids just got their PR confirmation and visa last week. For the breakdown of my timeline please read all my previous post.

Hope this helps?

Yes you need to visit a Phil Consulate office here in Canada for an NBI fingerprint card which you will use to file for an NBI clearance in the Phils. You may ask a family member to submit the application for you in the Phils. There are alao agencies who can do it for you for a fee of course.

Thank you!

work permit fee 155 - I applied for extension 2 weeks before my work permit expires
open work permit fee 100 - I have never applied for it
PR application fee 550 CAD - for the High medical needs
Landing fee 490 CAD - once paid thru online, they will schedule you for interview

During the interview, they will ask questions like civil status, dependents, family, which can be easily answered by anyone.. Just make sure that you have a status in Canada (student visa, tourist visa etc.) otherwise, they will not approve you if you stay in Canada illegally..

Thank you so much for the information!
Im a caregiver under the LmO
I applied for my WP extension last May waiting for the work pemit to come hopefully by August ( my 24 months is done exactly July31 ) so I can apply for OWP/Pr,
I Have a visitors visa too ( valid until 2017)

So i have to pay $155 ( again ) + 100 if I apply for OWp?

@conman
How come you didnt apply for Owp?
Meaning you stayed with the same employer? Or just waited for PR? ( which gives you the option to work anywhere anyway? )
