Please I have a few questions. Anyone with current travel information as it seems the last information here is not so recent; 1. Please which documents are required at the airport and POE? 2. Will I need to apply for Travel exemption/authorization letter since I'm fully vaccinated? 3. Is the covid test still required 72hrs before? 4. Is quarantine plan still required even for fully vaccinated Also, please house I need information on how to renew both study permit and work permit inside Canada. 1. Can the renewal of both Study permit and spousal work permit be done simultaneously or the study permit should be renewed first then work permit after? 2. Any info on how to go about with renewal I look forward to response ejooor� Thanks and God bless. |

1. Stamped passport, admission letter (just in case), IRCC introduction letter, proof of vaccination. 2. IRCC is changing travel rules as from 28 February. Other requirements and documents can be found here (https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/covid-vaccinated-travellers-entering-canada). 3. The link in 2 above would answer this too. 1b. Renew both simultaneously. 2b. Log into your portal, and start a new application. You will be asked questions that will generate the forms you have to fill (e.g., are you applying for spouse, etc). Foxs: 1 Like |

My wife applied for SOWP and visiting visa for the kids in october which is still pending. They recently applied for visiting visa and was refused which led to my son's vv under her sowp being withdrawn. Now we would like to reapply for him. He will be 5 by may so we don't know whether to opt for study visa or reapply for visiting visa. 1 already reached out to the school district in my province and got LOA for him. Should we reapply for a vv under her sowp or a study visa |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by jogojogo: 12:51am On Feb 25, 2022 |
I think untill he or she is 5, you can't request for study permit. And you don't even need a Loa to process for study permit. There is an exception to the rulr amr12: 1 Like |

Hello Turntable, can you please share with us the documents you submitted for your application, pof, and what you did differently? My spouse wants to apply for sowp to join us here, I will be glad to hear from you. Thank you turntable: |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by skull4eva: 2:07am On Feb 25, 2022 |
amr12: Which province are you going if it is quebec he needs to be 5years before you can apply for study permit. If it is other provinces apart from quebec once he is 4 year he can apply for study permit. I hope that answers your question. Use the parents LOA for him for the study permit application it will be accepted 1 Like |

My people, I need your advice on this request letter given to my wife. she submitted her application since January 7, 2021(over one year plus). I am a student here in Canada and I do not have a full time job. Kindly advise please

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by jogojogo: 10:49am On Feb 25, 2022 |
Do you have a part time job? If yes, then submit what you have. As a Student, its not expected that you should be on a full time job. Congrats in advance, though the time line is long nochyks87: |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by skull4eva: 11:18am On Feb 25, 2022 |
amr12: The exsisting Sowp portal is the only one for now the new portal is only for visit visa |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by skull4eva: 11:24am On Feb 25, 2022 |
nochyks87:To add to what jogojogo has said when applying for your spouse did your by chance submit any nigerian job or claim to get a study leave from your work place in nigeria? If yes they might want to see that. If no then submit the pay slips of your part time job in canada. But sincerely something must have trigered or waranted that request so think well and be careful in responding. It will end in praise |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by technix: 11:31am On Feb 25, 2022 |
Hi, In additon to others' comments, may I ask: 1. Was your program supposed to be for a year? 2. Were you 'ideally' expected to have had a post-graduation work permit already? 3. The study permit you used to support your spouse's application expires/expired when? It is very unlikely they will ask you for payslips when you are not expected to have a full-time work. nochyks87: 1 Like |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by nochyks87: 1:08pm On Feb 25, 2022 |
my program is two years and started in 2020 to end in May 2022 I am still a student and not eligible for PGWP yet. The study permit expires AUGUST 27TH 2022 In additon to others' comments, may I ask: 1. Was your program supposed to be for a year? 2.

Does this mean I have to source for pay slips and include them? This quite confusing. Spoke with some people this morning and they advised that this request letter is specifically for spouses already on PGWP. |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by jogojogo: 3:15pm On Feb 25, 2022 |
Just respond with your part time job offer details: My spouse is on part time but got pay slip and reference letter from where she works. Do not forget to empahsize that you are still in School, stating the expected date of graduation nochyks87: |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by technix: 4:05pm On Feb 25, 2022 |
It's clear then. Please try to get payslips from your employer in Nigeria where you are currently on leave. You can then add the ones from your part-time job in Canada. Ordinarily, not all students are working, so they wouldn't have requested for payslips if you didn't have a full-time work. Best of luck! nochyks87: |

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by skull4eva: 7:06pm On Feb 25, 2022 |
nochyks87: If thats is it then mail IRCC with your study permit and recent transcript stating that you and still in school and not eligible for post graduate work permit yet and your studies will be rounding up in may. I just home you still get paid from nigeria because i have a strong feeling that is what they are requesting for because from the records with them they should know you are still in school. But when they requested documents last month it was study permit and recent transcript |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by deepwater(f): 11:14pm On Feb 25, 2022 |
nochyks87: What was your finance like during her application submission? How much is she bringing to Canada? How much do you have to support you and your family? The reason for payslip is to confirm finance status aggregates to keep the family. When submitting your payslip, please add other financial documents to prove your financial standings. This should be for you and your spouse. Present your response well enough The payslip should come first and other documents follows, use a table of content for easy reference. Include letter of explanation to buttress your capability to sustain your family in canada. Your spouse visa is almost done for approval, the V.O just needs a confirmation to progress. That confirmation is in ur hand. Kindly respond well to their query. Wishing you happy PPR at the earliest. 2 Likes |
