Hey Canuck_Lover,

No updates yet. We suspect to hear something by mid to late June. We have drawn this conclusion based on the dates the December applicants received their OWP (exactly 3 months after resubmissison) and we realize that each application is different:

Thanks for the quick reply and the useful links

Further to my message last night, another user by the name kristoph29 is in a similar situation as us. They posted the following yesterday on the January Inland Spouse thread: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-i...hip-january-2019.605338/page-115#post-7881699

This further backs up our assumptions that it appears CIC is approving 3 months after re-submission rather then 4 months.
Based on this Canuck_Lover, I would guess you should hear something around July 26. As far as our OWP application, the 3 month mark is June 27 so I will post here once our status switches to "review of eligibility".

Have a good day.

My open work permit application was returned due to insufficient payment (I payed $100 for the Open Work Permit Holder Fee, but didn't realize I also owed $155 for the Work Permit Application Fee). I made the additional payment and sent the OWP application back on Sept. 30th. I originally submitted the Inland Spousal Sponsorship & Open Work Permit application in July, so I was expecting to get the OWP soon. Do you think I'll have to wait an additional 3 months for them to start from scratch with the OWP application? Hoping that's not the case...

Same with me after resubmitting how long it took to get OWP.

So I think there is something wrong with the GCKey... because we have just received an email with our landing letter with an interview scheduled for Thursday July 4th and we have not received AIP, Decision made on ECAS for PR or any movement on the OWP.... Just called CIC and our OWP is approved. As well as our PR application. On to the interview! good luck everyone else.

Hi guys

I applied to PR Spouses Sponsorship on May, I received the AOR on July 18th but my OWP was returned by insufficient payments on July 31st (received in the mail Aug. 6th) I sent it back yesterday to the Edmonton processing center.

If someone can help me, I would like to know, what are the current times to approve the OWP?

I'm really worried about because I felt out of status now, and I need the work permit for being able to update my SIN number and with that my Health card, because I'm pregnant and if it doesn't arrive soon I won't be covered by the due day.

Any advise will be more than welcome

I don't think you are out of status. They just needed that payment. Did you send it back with the receipt for the payment? Also, I would keep a copy of the payment receipt, but you won't be out of status if you are still waiting on them to send you the OWP. They didn't refuse you, it doesn't sound like...they just needed you to pay for it.
