Hi winska28
Did you apply through 24months or 3900hours? CIC received my application on October 24,2012 and I received my knowledge letter on December 24. I check online and no any further news yet.

Hi,

I applied under Option 2 - 3900 hours. If I were you, I would definitely call CIC tomorrow and ask them if your owp was approved. If they tell you it takes 4 months, just ask them if they can check your application anyways. Yours might be already approved too. Good luck:)
When I check online it does not say anything about my owp, just that my application for PR was received on 23rd of October.

Hi,

I came from middle east also. What i did is i submitted my police clearance when i was applying for the visa as a live-in caregiver That was year 2008. I photo copy the old police clearance from where i came from and i included to my application for OWP/PR. But make it sure that you cant really get a police clearance here to that country where you came from.

Thanks god that i didnt encounter any problem.

Hope that my experience help you a little bit.

Hi,

No,they didnt ask me. And i didnt make any letter. I just make it sure that i cant req. from here. When you include your old police clearance dont forget the english translation to included.

Good luck and god bless us all
