Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by gabrola: 3:47am On Sep 18, 2018 |
Hi guys, I have a quick question for those who submitted their Canadian bank account while applying for SOWP. Did you print a statement showing just the balance in the account or the one showing account history (i.e inflow/debit and outflow/credit)? |

[quote author=Aghatise post=71143915]Thank God for the time to share this: Student visa received on 23 July 2018 Wife and 4yr old daughter applied on Aug 1, 2018 (Paper Route) Actual approval: 23 August 2018 (Nairobi- Kenya) Note: my wife is not working at the moment - homemaker WIFE and DAUGHTER'S Documents: 1. Wife's SOP 2. Marriage Certificate with newspaper doc for change of name 3. Age declaration 4. BSc Certificate 5. NYSC Certificate 6. Catering Diploma - Part Time 7. Birth Certificate of my two daughters (second daughter is American so we did not apply for her) and my birth certificate too 8. 15 pictures of the family including our wedding on A4 paper 9. Travel history of wife to UK and USA 10. CIC forms for both (SOWP and TRV) 11. Copy of my admission letter / funding by University 12. Copy of my approved visa page 13. Letter from me stating clearly that I will take full responsibility as well as granting my consent for them to accompany me 14. Letter of identification from my bank ( have saving and current account with them) 15. 6 months bank statement - current and savings account (mine) 16. Letter from Stanbic IBTC pension that I hold a pension account with them 17 My pension account statement 18 3 landed proper including house plan 19 Letter of Explanation from me concerning some transactions in my account which were not part of my monthly pay 20. Offer of employment letter (me) 21. 8 months pay slip (me) 22. Letter of promotion (me) and yearly performance increment. 23. Letter of termination of employment 24.

My wife & daughter's visa was approved in Nairobi - Kenya and noticed that visa was even issued on August 23, 2018 prior to my travel. When I arrived Canada, I sent them a copy of my study permit (September 6, 2018) and Letter of enrolment- SOWP and TRV was already approved before I sent it; guess somebody forgot to send out the passport - only to see an email from VFS for the collection of their passport same day. It is always good to check with them. My study was approved in less than 3weeks but I got it after 6weeks - when I wrote Nairobi, they replied same day that my case was finalized weeks back(same day, I got an email from VFS)... For those waiting.. trust him and I am sure it will end in praise. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Good evening! I'm a new member to this thread. It's been dry for some time now since I've been following as a non member. Please have they stopped approving SOWP for Nigerians? Or they've not approved so far for people on the thread? What is the success rate now? Any recent update? Applied SOWP June 14th, no recent update so far apart from medical passed and eligibility review Do I have any in my shoes also? |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by mikel88: 9:29pm On Sep 26, 2018 |
waya1:they are o. Just that is taking too long. You are on the right track atleast your eligibility review as started already. I appplied 5th of May no any updates since then and next week will make it 5months. Just remain hopeful and let’s pray for a positive outcome. |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by waya1: 9:59pm On Sep 26, 2018 |
mikel88: Nawa o! Why are they taking so much time? They should have finished September students own by now. Did you do upfront medicals? Or waiting for request? That means they've not started processing MAY, not to talk of JUNE. I have been in an Indian SOWP WhatsApp group, and it's been intimidating so far. They are processing their July applications now, and many people are getting their PPR Please, anyone with an ongoing application should give us a timeline, so that we can know how far they are. Let's help ourselves |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by mikel88: 10:18pm On Sep 26, 2018 |
waya1:i am also part of the WhatsApp group and the most annoying thing is that their processing time is higher compare to Nigeria I really can’t understand how it works .Back your question, no upfront medical patiently waiting for medical request mail and it will soon show by the grace of God. |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Bab5: 12:22am On Sep 27, 2018 |
Definitely on the right thread. Waiting is not easy, but still keep faith alive! Mine is 6 month (April 3rd) and still no news, tough medical passed. I pray our expectations all come to fulfillment soonest. In my opinion, for those who is about to apply for SOWP, I feel they should consider applying for Visiting visa and get their open work permit when they land as long as they can fulfil the requirements for it. Its takes a short time duration and one will still arrive at the same result. From recent experience, my sister-in-law applied for visiting in may, she landed and after awhile went back to the airport(point of entry) to get her work permit. Another person share the same news too, she had a visiting visa, got married, travelled with the husband back to CA and got work permit too. Wished I knew about that route earlier than this SOWP route. Tough I will still say some people are luck and still get SOWP approval in a short while, but from statistics on this thread it usually far exceed the processing time stated. I pray God to open a book of remembrance on our applications and favour it with approvals in Jesus name. Amen waya1: 1 Like 1 Share |

Bab5: How did she go about getting the open work permit? Could you kindly share with us? |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by mikel88: 8:21am On Sep 27, 2018 |
Bab5:Amen to the prayers. Please were you called medicals or you did upfront medical? |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by remaj: 12:13pm On Sep 27, 2018 |
hello everyone @bab 5 Are you saying it's advisable to go for visit visa instead of SOWP Please did your sister in law apply for visiting while her spouse is in canada? Please await your response Thank you |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by kife(m): 3:00pm On Sep 27, 2018 |
Nogen: Work permits are processed at the border and given to the applicant same day...one hour max you stay there to get it.. The question is..how do you get to the border ![]() Visitor visa is not as easy as it sounds, you need to have a strong travel history to be able to attempt visitor visas. For those saying Indians have high rate of sucess...why won't they?? They bring their wives and obey the law... They have a reputation and are upright in their activities.. Sadly, not all our brothers on this side leave us with any reputation. We occupy the list in asylum claims, we marry sisters and claim them as wives just to bring them here, we do all sorts of things that create suspicions about us as a people, I don't blame immigration so much...if only our leaders were not so messed up..what does Canada actually have that we are coming for? it is the Brutal winter? Or the unending stress and rat race? Is painful really... Very sad. 3 Likes |

This is not to dash anyone's hope but since I have dotted my Is and crossed my Ts. Let me drop my timeline. Applied: Feb 26 Biometrics: Feb 28 Medical passed: Mar 29 (upfront) Final decision: ............................... I once said that they were responding to spouses of students faster, someone contradicted me. I think that's what it looks like now. They just want workers to apply for EE straight up. NB: I have contacted them severally My 2 cents |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Bab5: 11:39pm On Sep 27, 2018 |
She went with visiting visa, landed, she applied for work permit in canada which takes about a month and she went back to port of entry to get it....tough they mentioned it only works for open permit not the normal work permit that requires LIMA. Like someone said, visiting visit isn't easy to get tough. Try and find out from other people living in Canada presently. Nogen: |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Bab5: 11:46pm On Sep 27, 2018 |
I sent them my medicals through CSE, they acknowledged it, passed it after a while. mikel88: |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by waya1: 11:58pm On Sep 27, 2018 |
Pheisharah: Jesu!!!!!!!!! I thought i've heard it all until this timeline came Wetin people(June) like us go come do? Could it be December? Just thinking out loud. CIC people are not trying with Nigerians at all. This is not fair at all. Will it be possible for them to reject after this long wait? Moreover, I heard visitor's visa is difficult to get for people that have their spouses there. The success rate is very low compared to SOWP |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by mikel88: 9:29am On Sep 28, 2018 |
Pheisharah:lord Jesus! This one is deep. I kind of agree to this sha because from the trend in here, most of us with spouse of work permit holder are the ones experiencing this processing delay. I hope they do something fast about it because the waiting is killing mehn. It will end in praise for us all. |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by mikel88: 9:30am On Sep 28, 2018 |
Bab5:Alright. Passport Request will come soon |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Nogen: 10:59am On Sep 28, 2018 |
Bab5:Thanks a lot. The person has a visiting visa but contempting on applying for a work permit . Forgive my ignorance, what is the difference between open work permit and work permit that requires LIMA? |

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Bab5: 8:44pm On Sep 28, 2018 |
Open work permit is for the spouse of students and PGWP holders and the normal work permit requires one to have a LIMA before applying for it. Kindly Google it dear. Nogen: 2 Likes 1 Share |
