On vapunaatto both Mr. O and I got letters from the CIC. Mine congratulated me on being accepted as a sponsor, while his informed him he was now able to apply for an open work permit, and requested a police report from the UAE (where we spent seven months a few years ago), which can be obtained through that country's embassy in Ottawa.
This comes just in time, as we were starting to think Mr. O was going to have to push his employer to renew his temporary work visa before he could even apply for the OWP. Of course, we're feeling a bit lazy and haven't actually filled in the forms yet. But it's nice to know we can.
Only one small gripe: the letter was dated March 31. How it took a month to get from Ottawa to Toronto, we'll never know.

i *called* that it would take them a month to mail the letter.

so now i know it *is* standard practice to not mail the letters right away.
