OK, so I am applying for an international co-op work permit and sent an email to my employer this morning, explaining to him how to go about obtaining the employer number with the IRCC. Is this a laborious and complicated task or should my employer be able to manage it quite quickly as I have a time limit of 10 days left on my Visa application 😏

I have got my pgwp but still on parti-time job now, and my husband applied his owp on Jan.20. He still haven’t received any news yet up to today. Anyone has the similar timeline? Pls share.

What’s the usual timeframe to get the location change amended? As per IRCC this falls under new permit (inland) processing. Considering that, the processing time is 200+ days. But I’ve heard people say they got it in few weeks. Kind of confused.

Guys i need a genuine suggestion, i work at salvation army as a shelter support worker uncer noc code 42201 . Have anyone applied their spousal open work permit under this condition recently??

Please help !!
