Hi there! I will join you too. I send mine on September 13, 2011 (received on Sep16)
Does anybody know when I should get the first response? how long in average does it take?
(Inland, British Columbia)

Thank you an good luck!!!!

I added you to our spreadsheet as well
 
My husband has a work permit, which he obtained because he is doing a post doctoral fellowship at a Canadian University.

His visa expires Jan 2012, so I am pretty sure our case won't be approved by then. I was told by a CIC call centre person that he is able to renew his visa because it's not a straight up open work permit, but a special visa given to people to come develop their skills.

Even though CIC call centre told me this, I am still unsure, and I was wondering if anyone done it?

Any comments would be appreciated
 
Better post this in the main thread where people with OWP experience can comment
 
hi ccbrasil yes you can exten your his visa for sure
 
Hey There....thought I'd join the discussion here....

My Husband and I have been married since Jan. 1st 2011. We finally got our application all finished and COMPLETE and sent in. We have a very routine application....no previous marriages....no kids....no medical or criminal issues....

Has anyone recently had there application processed? How long did it take to get the thumbs up? CIC website says 11 months but Ive heard from others in previous years that it only took about three months....any comments???...Our app was received Sept. 14th by the Mississauga office.

Please help me figure out if we really should expect the 11 months

When you have more than 10 posts, you will be able to customize more. So, welcome to the september group! What visa office are you applying to?

Cheers!
