****MAY 2019 Inland Spousal PR + OWP****

[Michyap]

Hi, I’m still unable to link my owp app online. Could you please share how you did it? Thank you.

I used the same method as shared earlier and here it is:

"Select Temporary Residence first, then work permit and extension.

Application details: UCI and family name. (Use principal applicant data)
Applicant’s personal information: Place of birth. (Input what you wrote in the application form)
Details of intended work in Canada: Open (initial application or extension).
Current Country of residence: Canada.
Current marital status: Married or whatever applies.
Which situation applies to the applicant: Applied for permanent residence as a spouse or common-law partner in Canada.

If place of birth option does not work, try using passport info."

May applicants definitely got the crappy end of the stick.... I feel like everything is much slower than March and April applicants...

I know, right? It s like very end of April and May are in hands of some special officers lol

Well it's been exactly 2 weeks since I linked my OWP, but still no approval.

Hi Everyone!

My OWP status is now “APPROVED” so happy! Hope everyone will have good news too!

Congrats!!

When were you able to link your OWP application online? Wondering how long it took since then for the approval.

I already tried those combinations to no avail. which browser did you use to link the owp app online?

I have read you should apply for restoring your status first before applying for the OWP or you would get it refused for lack of status

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for a while but have a question I thought I might be able to get answered here. I'm applying to sponsor my common-law partner who's from the UK but has been in Canada on the International Work Experience visa for the last 16 months or so. For reference, we're in Toronto, and here are our stats so far:
Application Delivered: May 31st
AOR: July 5th
OWP Linked: September 6th
(Still waiting on OWP approval, but we're hoping it'll be soon!)

My question is this: we were planning on getting married in June 2020, and say as much in our application, but we're realizing that all the planning isn't for us, and we want to elope (probably in Niagara) sooner rather than later. Does anyone know if that would affect/harm our application? Obviously we applied as common-law partners, so would that mean having to change our status with CIC?

Shouldn't be a big issue. You could tell them that you got married in the meantime but It won't hurt your application either way I'd say.

Me and my partner (now my husband) did this. We were planning to get married end of this year but ended up getting married a few weeks after we submitted our application lol. We updated it as soon as we got our marriage certificate and as soon as we got our AOR. So I don’t think it should be a problem

Hi everyone. Did anyone else get restrictions on their work permit? Specifically:

1. Not authorized to work in childcare, primary/secondary school teaching, health service field occupations
