Open Work Permit App Returned due to Insufficient Payment

[HomeAgain17]

hi, the same thing happened to me, how did you go about fixing this, My application has a stamp of the date received. the letter has a either a scratch or underlining or highlighting in red to re submit to CPC Vegreville, did u submit a new form or sent in the stamped one they sent back, also was it Vegreville u sent it to or back to CPC mississauga where u submitted inland spousal application? Your advice would be appreciated

Hi, sorry to hear that it happened to you as well! Seems to be happening a lot, they really need to review their process as it is obviously not clear enough. I simply made the payment, printed off the receipt as proof of payment and added it to the original application, along with the letter they sent back when it was returned to me. I sent it all to the Vegreville office as requested on the the letter they sent. That is the only office that processes work permits, unless it's sent in the same envelope as the Sponsorship/PR application. I hope that's clear for you? All the best with it all!

I originally submitted my application Oct.10. Two weeks ago (Dec.5), I got an email AOR. in the following week, I got my OWP returned due to insufficient funds. I have re-submitted the OWP application to Vegreville, AB - received Dec. 19.

I called CIC, they told me CIC will grant me the OWP only when my sponsorship immigration is Approved in Principal. I searched on CIC website, AIP means "IRCC stating you meet the permanent residence eligibility requirements, but you still have to pass the medical security and background checks". If this is true (which I hope is not), I guess they will approve my OWP when they are ready to approve my sponsorship immigration, which will take approximately 12 months...

It would be helpful if we could update our status here. So every one of us can have an idea of the progress for cases like this.

Were you out of status when you submitted your OWP application?

I would most probably have the same response once I send back my owp application as I am already out of status now.

It depends if they issued a new application. Make sure you have the most up to date one. You can also apply for OWP online

You cannot apply for the OWP online unless you have already received AIP for your PR application, which is not going to be the case for 99% of people who are getting their OWP apps sent back to them.

if you are still in status when your OWP is returned you can most certainly apply for an OWP. it all comes down to if you have status or not

Note that I said ONLINE. There is a difference between applying online and by mail. You can only apply online if you have received AIP. If you are in status, but have not received AIP, you need to apply by mail.

Same problem with my open work permit application. It was returned due to insufficient payment. I made the additional payment and sent the OWP application back on 19th Jan/2018. I originally submitted the Inland Spousal Sponsorship & Open Work Permit application in Sep/2017, so I was expecting to get the OWP soon. I have a job offer waiting just for the OWP but not sure for how long the company will keep the position held for me. So if any of you guys, in the same situation, have any feedback about your work permit please let me know. I am so frustrated with all this processes and I don´t wanna lose this job opportunity.

Thanks in advance,
