Hello!

I have a question - While applying for my TRV extension, there is an OWP section as well.

Should I fill this out online, i.e. the TRV application, or should I print and attach it with my PR application?

A prompt response would be appreciated.

I have all of my documents ready but we have to wait for the Option C printout which might not come until April. I have to apply for the TRV extension LATEST by April 4th.

Thanks!

Do NOT attach your TRV application with your PR application. That won't help your situation at all and then you will be out of status and potentially set yourself up for removal. Either paper file for your TRV extension or do it online. I have no idea what you are talking about when you say there is an OWP section as well ....

Couldn't the OP just send an OWP with the sponsorship application (assuming it's Inland since s/he even mentioned OWP) and have implied status throughout stage 1 approval? That would eliminate the need for a TRV and the possibility of losing status if it's denied...right?

If the OP has an Outland application, it's a moot point...obviously.

In the TRV extension form, there is a section where you can request an OWP. Should I fill it out or not?

Please call CIC and ask for the correct form they will email you the latest/updated version. Good luck and don't get so confused, and keep sane! :)

You can no longer submit OWP with your PR application.

Until we can see this confirmed by official source (CIC website), everything said on forums are unofficial :) Agents still advise people to submit OWP application along with PR to maintain implied status. CIC never made official announcement for this change.

Take it as rumor, or misunderstanding, until we see it from CIC

It has a CIC link. OWP is NOT available in the PR packet

By not including application for OWP, CIC still didn't say they will not accept it. As a government agency they will publish their policies IN WRITING, not by people's guesses. Also, last week I got email from CIC agent with instruction on how to apply for OWP with inland spousal PR.

I think the negative side of immigration forum is that people may provide misleading info for each other without knowing for sure.

100% agree with you! cic call center people answers were pretty consistent now about OWP with inland spousal PR, unlike in the past few months their answers confused people.
