****January 2020 - Inland Spousal PR + OWP****

[simaa]

When does the GCKey say the document expires, and when was the status updated?

It was approved jun 29th, expiry date is like in 2 years

 

[k.h.p.]

June 29? Odd. It's taken a month and you still haven't received it?

We can apply SIN with Online Soft copy approved letter which is attached in GCkey ?

i believed we can not.

Seeing as the only folks who are getting OWPs approved seem to be people who have previously given Biometrics, does this mean people who have not are completely out of luck? Has anyone been able to get confirmation from an IRCC agent as to whether they are approving OWPs for people without Biometrics?

I understand that Biometrics are necessary for the PR, but you would think that since the OWP is technically a temporary resident status / work visa, it would fall under their latest ruling saying that Biometrics are waived (from https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/biometrics.html#temporary-canada):

just now, on whatsapp group, someone received a ghost update {its a good sign} and she mentioned that she does not have valid biometrics, so we will see how it goes.

No, you need the paper copy.

Congrats to those whose OWP have been approved. If you can kindly update the tracker it will be awesome

Yep, also seeing some December folks in their WhatsApp getting OWP this weekend without having given biometrics. Good sign!

As you have the paper copy in hand, can you confirm if "agricultural work" is not authorized under this OWP?
