Still says Not Applicable.
Has anyone gotten an RCMP fingerprint request? Or had their background status change to In Process? Seems like people who've applied in the months before and after us had this progress already

My sponsor hasn't even gotten notification if he has been approved as a sponsor. How about you?
Haven't gotten it but that doesn't happen until the very end anyways for inland applicants
Okay. Thank you. I actually might be "stuck" at medicals right now because they are requiring that I get my un-accompanying children in the US medical exams. I am working to get documentation and wrote a Stat of Dec in hopes of getting that taken care of, but at any rate, I think I"m stuck for the moment. They said they are extending my medical info to Feb 18.
Can anybody give me some advise here?
i am an august application. medical reuqested and passed in Nov 2018. My currently PGWP is expiring in July 2019.
My husband and I were debating if we should have applied for another one last August. We decided not to because my WP then still have 11 months of validity. I went online to check the eligibility and see this:
You may be eligible for a bridging open work permit if:
I also looked up the pilot open work permit program it writes:
As of December 22, 2014, open work permits may be issued under a pilot program to applicants who are in the spouse or common-law partner in Canada (SCLPC) class. The duration of this pilot program has been extended to January 31, 2019.
So... from all the infomation above... will I still be able to extend my permit? Would that mean I have to apply before Jan 31, 2019?
Thanks!!!

Hi @cindyestteacher
I have passed meds on October 31st and it took 20 days to get the update on my account. Since my status changed to meds passed, I haven't heard anything from them, except for the OWP approval. I'm still waiting for the background check.

Hello @nhtt !
If you applied for Spouse Sponsorship in Canada, you are eligible to apply for an OWP.
In this case it won't be an extension of your current PGWP, but a new one, it's gonna be an Open Work Permit.
As far as we know this pilot program was already extended until January 31st 2019, and we don't know if it will be extended again or not. So if you want to apply, this might be the last chance.
Once you got an OWP, it will be valid for 2 years, so you don't have to worry anymore about your status and work permit until decision of permanent residence is made.
The criteria that applies to you in this case are:
Officers will issue open work permits to SCLPC class applicants if they meet the following requirements:
- a permanent residence application has been submitted under the SCLPC class and is currently being processed, or has been received, by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada for processing
- a Canadian citizen or permanent resident spouse has submitted a sponsorship application on their behalf
- the SCLPC class applicant resides at the same address as the sponsor
- the SCLPC class applicant has valid temporary resident status (as a visitor, student or worker), or is eligible to restore their temporary resident status, and has submitted the restoration application with their application for permanent residence
Hope it helps,
André
Same here. This is making me a bit nervous. Things seem to be different for September applicants...
