Well interesting twist, still hadn't received the Sponsor AIP letter by end of day as 'promised' by the last rep we spoke with.

Called in today (10 minute wait = 20 minute wait) and the rep looked into our file for awhile and came back with some interesting information.

First, she said there isn't a Sponsor letter for AIP - only an Applicant one. We confirmed we received that letter but indicated what the last rep told me and what we're aware of from reading online - the Sponsor get's one too.

Then she said, "Yes, you're right. I see here that we sent it to your e-mail.CA (our e-mail is .COM)"

We told her that in fact it is .COM and our first communication from CIC last August went to this e-mail address... she actually was able to see that 'discrepancy' in her system.

Because of this 'error' she is messaging Mississauga to have them send me a hardcopy Sponsor AIP letter (which she called an EIP, Eligiblity In Principle)

Anyway, thought this might help some.

Just be aware that Ontario Service won't accept the sponsor approval letter for OHIP as it is not addressed to you the applicant.

Thank you. Yes, just wanted to make sure there were no issues with the Sponsor's approval. :P

First rep said the OWP would be 2 weeks, second rep said it would be 3-4, third rep said up to 6 weeks... we can use the OWP to get OHIP, however it appears you might need a job to use it to get OHIP!?

It says you MAY need to show proof of employment, I wonder if the OWP will have the 'note' about a PR application in process - that would hopefully count for the second proof as well...

Thanks for letting us know Harmin! Don't know what the issues are but hope you can at least make it to the landing interview after all, it's a pity now that your procedure has been completed

No you don't need a job to get OHIP coverage. Having an OWP allow you to qualify for it. OWP does make its a lot easier to get OHIP over AIP email letter.

Another August 6th AIP today on the facebook page! Good to see they're still working! :)

Edit: It was actually just sponsor approval, but I pretty much consider guaranteed AIP anyway for the applicant.
