Received email that my sponsorship app was received by CIC on Oct 3. The attached document states that they haven't started processing yet. When should I expect the OWP.
Is it 4 months from the receiving date or from the start of processing?. I know that the pilot program will end on Dec 22 this year, did I lose the opportunity or am I fine given that it was received before that date?
Should I call anyone to follow up or should I just wait for it in the mail?
Do they ask for my passport to change my visa from visitor to work?
I have no idea on what to expect next. Any info on what to expect, tips on what to do next is really appreciated !!

They will send you a paper permit in the mail within 4 months from the date they received the permit application. If you don't have it by 4 months and 1 day, call the call centre to ask where it is.
