Hi everyone!
Today my OWP was approved!!!
I'm a Nov 11/2017 Mississauga applicant. I paid the right fee.
Good luck everyone!!!
Respect to my PR application still showing "your action is required", so must be a glitch liked I readed in other forum.
congrat! Was the OWP approval letter sent from CPC-M or CPC-V?

Just a question about OWP status on CIC. How does your status change throughout the processing on CIC. Ours was submitted Jan 3rd, linked to CIC on Feb 9 after AOR. Status on CIC currently says "We are processing your application, we will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility". Just wondering what to look out for!

Thanks :)
You most likely won't have any update until approval. For mine I only noticed in my GCKey that it read 'Updated' next to my OWP and then I saw that it was approved (this was nearly a day before I received the email of approval, and a week before the OWP arrived in the mail). Mine took 3 months from submission to approval. (Wrong fees paid)

Anything from July applicants. I'm July 14th and haven't had any request for medical. When i call immigration it says background processing.

How long does that take and whats the next step?
I’m June 2017 still waiting for medical request

Hello everyone.

Has anybody who applied for inland spousal sponsorship including the OWP in November received any response ?
We are in the same boat. APP received Nov 03. So far, could not link the OWP and have no email for OWP neither. you could call CIC. At least you could know that your OWP application still there without return.

Question about the landing interview - is this something that all applicants must do when their case is finalized?

I was under the impression that inland applicants don't need to physically show up for an interview?

I have a same timeline for OWP app received at Vegreville on Jan 9th 2018 and linked online on 12 feb . I see in background check changed from "Not Applicable" to "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check." . Is this normal !!!!

Thanks, do you know if it's just the applicant that must attend to Mississauga, or the applicant and sponsor? That way I can plan financially for the trip. Thanks!
