yes she have and it is on final stage we have been waiting for 7 years now

Great. Just making sure.

I’m not sure you can get an OWP though based on the guide below, but I’ve never been involved in getting one for anyone other than a spouse so I may very well be wrong.

Hmm, that's a good point. This guide suggests that someone in Canada on a temporary visa who is not a spouse may not be eligible for apply for an OWP. The other list, which includes dependent children, may be people who have to apply for an OWP outside of Canada.

When you applied for the TRV to get to Canada, did you have to prove ties to your home country and an intention to return? When did you decide to stay in Canada?

I didn’t get your question?

You should read the whole thing first. The best source is always the official one.

 

[k.h.p.]

Please read the website I sent you in an earlier post. I sent you the link for a reason, so you could access it.

No, you may not go to the US to give biometrics. The only people allowed to give biometrics in the US are people legally in the US already. You must go to another country that you can enter.

You may not be eligible for the OWP. You may not be eligible to re-enter Canada if you leave unless you have a multi-entry visa.

OP is not elligible for an owp.

Thank you.

To the OP - you should only give biometrics when you apply at a VAC or after receiving a biometrics collection letter. If you turn up at a VAC without a letter, they won't know what to do with your biometrics.

As Canuck 78 says, you're not eligible for an OWP. Any attempt to change your status now risks a scenario where CIC believes that you never intended to stay here temporarily, instead doing what you're doing now - getting into the country and then applying for a work permit inside it.

If you want a work permit, you need an LMIA and all the other process.

OP is waiting for PR. She just needs to wait.

 

[k.h.p.]

She says her mother will sponsor her, which makes me think that her mother put her as a non-accompanying dependent. Her mother is waiting for a PR decision, but the OP's application may not have started, unless I'm completely wrong and the OP was listed as an accompanying dependent.

Yes and that is why she doesn't qualify for an OWP.
