They will send you the login details. Login and change password and then confirm your Canadian address and upload your passport photo. Yes I saw ppl here got their eCOPR within 2 days (in some cases the same day!). It is super frustrating. They cancelled my OWP application but did not process my eCOPR. Not sure what is going on there.....

I called them and they said I am out of status. I am not sure why. My eTA is valid and I am using a HK passport which does not require visitor visa to enter Canada.....

Oh I don't know what you would need to do. Did you ask them what your next steps would be?

Hi, today I got an email from IRCC that the fee I paid ($1135) they have used it for approving OWP so they asked me to select correct a mispayment option to pay the difference.

So just wanna make sure how much the fee for OWP inland ?

*I was on work permit which expired recently.

 

[Kimbear]

only inland can apply for an open work permit. outland can't get it. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...ork-canada/permit/temporary/extend/apply.html

total is 255$ CAD

does that mean your OWP was approved then?

Yes!! Did you pay owp ($255) + $1135 = $1390 in one payment or you made two payments and attached two receipts separately?

Called them again today. They said the usual same stuff like each case is different and therefore the processing time varies. Only thing I can do is to wait. I jokingly said at this rate my latest updates on my pr tracker will all be "We received your enquiry.".

our app said background started in December. IT just updated in March to background started again. I'm at a loss. it also says they are still checking for eligibility and completeness. the only thing done is medical done and passed.

I also found out the visitor extension was only for 6 months not 10. We received the actual paper in the mail yesterday. says you can't work you can't go to school you must leave by Sept 9th. i asked for one year minimum as we were waiting on PR.

Only problem where I see yours and my application had is they took ages to recognize the payment for biometrics because of which our application was on hold and the communication made by them is too slow, as they communicate once in month because of which we wasted 3 months and our file is no progress.
