Your application was forwarded to Chandigarh at the time you applied.

Your enquiry, which you sent to Delhi, has been forwarded to Chandigarh since your application is with the Chandigarh VO.

Hi everybody,

Is there anybody who have experience with application on paper for Open Work Permit inside Canada?

My husband have work permit and moved to Canada three months ago and I arrived a month ago with visitor visa. I sent application to change condition, from visitor to work permit visa, via mail to Alberta three weeks ago and I know that is early to expect any request from CIC, just wanted to hear experiences with this kind of application and to follow status update with anyone who is in same position.

Thank you!

Hi FKL and other learned forum members:

Could you please advise what options are available to an applicant if the application processing time has far exceeded the normal processing time?

My wife and I applied for a Study Permit and OWP respectively in December 2015.

My wife received her approval in early January 2016. However, I have not yet received my TRV and OWP. We submitted an email enquiry to the visa office 10 days ago but haven't heard a response. I tried calling their consulate and was asked to send an email. The processing time for the country where I have filed the application from is 4 weeks.

I have noticed that there are several other forum members who are waiting for quite long also.

My wife's course commences in early September 2016 and so, unless we receive my visa shortly, she will not be able to attend the course.

I wanted to seek your guidance as to the best course of action(s) that I can take.


Hi HiranSiddharth,

I noticed that you advised someone else to contact the MP. Did you mean the MP of the Indian City where the OWP applicant resides or the MP of the Canadian City where the OWP applicant and Study Permit holder are planning to reside?

Thank you very much in advance.

Yup , could be processing delay in Delhi and Chandigarh. And Bangalore is a comparably newer location with faster processing times actually. They are sticking to the posted timelines as per CIC website it seems. Although there are many who are waiting past their stated processing times.

Anyways all the best and hope for the best.

Hi all,

I applied SOWP online outside Canada through an attorney on March 21st. I got medical request on April 12th. And my medicals passed on April 29th. I got an email on May 6th saying that they wanted payment for my Work permit and I sent them the payment. On May 9th, 2016 I got my refusal.. Later we sent them an email asking reasons for refusal on the same day. We did not get response from for a month and half and got an email from on June 30th. Now, am preparing documents for they have requested for.. How long does it take for processing (irrespective of what the result is approval or refusal) ?
