It's kinda complicated. I moved with my family to Cambodia when I was 20, and my dad didn't realize he was supposed to register in the "village" we lived in. I moved to Canada 1.5 years later on a closed Work Permit, worked for several years, quit my job to marry my Canadian citizen husband, and started this process. Since we hadn't registered when I lived there, the officials at first refused to give my dad (who was applying for me) the PCC. After lots of prayers, time and money, we finally got the PCC.
Anyone know an approximate wait time on OWP? I'm so ready to have that so we can move on with health card, etc.!
