I feel SOWP applications are not prioritized at the moment. There seems to be alot of drags on this type of application. Has anyone who recently applied for SOWP for their family after arriving in Canada (as international student) got approval or got GCMS notes that indicates some form of activities on these particular application(s)? My family appled about 2 months ago, upfront medical passed within 4 days, biometric completed and updated, but eligibility has not shown started since then. Anyone - or know someone - with something different than this?

Some students are getting it ... the study permit and spousal open work permit approval at same time . I always see that on nairaland student visa tread

Jesus, remember you said “it is NOT GOOD for a man to be alone”? therefore, I stand by your word, cause there to be commotions of approvals, specifically on this platform before the end of this midst of the year July, for the sake of your people that are trusting you to reunite with their spouses, Jesus, turn every policy and in their favor, because I know that the heart of the King is in your hands. Thank you my father, in Jesus name I pray. Amen.

NB; I already told God I want my wife’s visa approved before the end of this July, I don’t know or have an idea how he will do it, I just know he WILL DO IT�, and all eyes will see it and hear it here. You can enroll in this faith school too!

The waiting can send someone to depression.....if not for Africa family support system. ...it's not easy

But in everything God is faithful. It will end in praise

Good day house. I am currently trying to figure out the exact meaning of this Gcms notes because its very confusing and I am also consulting with other people on it.

NOTE: In the application letter, there was never any mention of my spouse coming to VISIT me, however, there was clear indication of her applying for SOWP and the main purpose was family reunification.

Did you apply for the prioritisation?

I think the prioritisation is solely for visit visa.

I guess you applied for travel authorization to expedite your application process.

Yes I did.

lightswitch007:

Yes I applied

I think this SOWP application is already approved (congratulations!) but the excemption to travel request is what is not considered here. Also, it seems if the SOWP visa was issued to your spouse before now and they had tried to travel, the clause "no written authoriaztion required" could allow them travel - just guessing from the notes but can't be too sure. The technicality raised by the VO here is crazy but also revealing. The lesson from this is that we and our SOWP applicant spouses should just take heavy dose chill pill so we don't unknowingly complicate things.

I pray this and every similar applications end in praise as usual!

This information shows your Open work permit has been approved already, but IRCC is just delaying the announcement of your final result and PPR.
They intend to start issuing the final result when the restriction is relaxed.
I will advise that you tell your spouse to contact the MP of his base in Canada to reach out to IRCC to expedite the processing of your app.

OR
Better to wait till IRCC start sending out the final result - PPR.

(This is my understanding and opinion of the note)

*Can you please share your application timeline?*

It will end in praise.

That means a lot of application has been approved ....but this border closure has been the issue.....so let's continue to pray for reopening of border soon

I didn’t do upfront medical and they did not request for it. Hope I’m safe? 10 SOWP applications in India have been given PPR just this morning.

My timeline:
File lodged April 16
Biometrics done and updated April 20.
Since then nothing.

It will end in praise. �
