Im impressed by how fast everything is moving on your timeline. Our app was received end of June, AOR August 3 and we just got our OWP October 4. Baring in mind we sent our app in in May and it was sent back for a missing signature so we we are already well into the 6 month mark here.
I am hoping we get request for medicals soon!!!
Check it nooow!!! Ours just updated like just now! Ours was approved finally! I checked it 5:45pm est and no update but 6pm I checked again (because I have nothing to do haha) and saw it’s been approved!!!
I just check now and yes i got my OWP approved as well valid until nov 3 2020. Then what is the next step? Can we apply for health care and social security as well?
App with OWP app july 17 aor aug 17 CSQ app sept 5 CSQ recieved in the mail oct 4 medical request oct 24 done it oct 26 unfortunately still do have an update from my medical they say they will send it a week after which is last week. Is it normal that its not updated yet on my cic?
Depends on the benefit and the province. For example, in and of itself, OWP does not make you eligible for provincial health insurance in Quebec (you'd also need a six-month full-time contract, and a CSQ). For some provinces (e.g. B.C.), it is apparently sufficient. What the OWP definitely lets you do is to get a Social Insurance Number from Service Canada, allowing you to work legally in Canada.
I KNOOOOW! Lol. In Ontario, OWP holders can apply for SIN but to be eligible for OHIP, you need to show them a letter from employer saying they’re hiring you for more than 6mos or show AIP.
