Yesterday my status still showed 'SUBMITTED', but when I opened up my application, the eligibility section had changed from 'processing application' to 'reviewing eligibility'. Right now, it still doesn't show the status as approved, but I received a message from CIC in my online account inbox saying it had been approved.
Usually the status changes before you receive an email, at least that's what I thought.

Do all of the OWP have restrictions? I mean i work in healthcare. Just worried it might apply to everyone
Unfortunately, unless you submitted valid medical exam results up front with your OWP application, it will have restrictions (no healthcare or childcare for example).

OWP was approved!
inland PR + OWP application was received on May 28
AOR- July 10
OWP approved - September 07
I’ve been checking this discussion board all the time and wish all the people good luck! Just one question, my passport is about to expire so the OWP is expired soon too. After I renew the passport, how can I extend the open work permit? Do I apply a new one or I can extend it?

Congrats ... But if your passport was expiring soon, why did you not apply for/obtain a new one then start this process. This would've saved you a lot more time money and effort. From what I have heard, you do have to apply for a new one.
