Anyone received their OWP lately?

 

[Ravs1988]

We did our preparation and submission through an immigration consultant/lawyer, and I believe she told us to apply for initial work permit, not 100% certain on that though. But again, everyone is different

Our OWP application was returned to us in the mail today, for lack of funds (Dec 6th application). Even though we mailed the missing fees to them a month ago and uploaded it on the IRCC webform.

My husband's status expired in the beginning of January, so I guess now we have to apply for restoration of status before re-applying for the OWP, which will take so long... I'm so disheartened.

Has anyone here been through this process? What are the chances of the status being restored? Should we try just remailing the whole package as is and hope for the best?

I am in a similar process it seems. I had an IEC Work Permit, and then applied for PR and an OWP before my work permit expired. My WP extension was rejected, and now I need to wait to be issued an OWP to go back to work. I can't understand why my IEC to OWP doesn't give me implied status. Now I am confused if I need to restore status, or I am under implied status as a visitor. I can't find the answer.

I hope we get some good news soon
I’m 25 January application by the way

wow we must have the same officer I am January 25 as well.

 

[loubegga]

so sorry to hear im in a work permit too (caregiver) dont understand why does a IEC does not qualify for a owp under inland if it is still valid the moment they received your application, instead need to wait for a AIP .. in there website says if you a valid visitor or wp you can apply a owp.. anyway hope you get AIP soon..

Thanks. I still don't understand either and I have been told so many different answers I'm not sure what is correct. So still got my fingers crossed!

Be sure to redo the OWP with the new Nov 2017 form. Otherwise they will send it back to you a second time.
