The issue could be when she applies to renew, if she or you are not permanent residents then. ChineduOC: |

Canada currently has a shortage of workers, hence their leeway with applications. However, the conservative party is expected to form the next government. I expect immigration to be tightened a bit. An officer could use your application for SOWP as proof that you "misrepresented" during the study permit application. Misrepresentation could lead, not only to a denial of the application in question, but to a ban for some years. I strongly suggest you do well in school and be able to apply for Express Entry with a master's or PhD. Lawfulness: |

You can always apply for visit visas, which will augur well for any future applications (to Canada or US). It will be proof that you can visit and leave. Lawfulness: |

You can't apply for a work permit from inside Canada if you're on a visit visa. olowoba2: |

Is there anyone who applied for a SOWP while also waiting for a Spousal Permanent Residence application? Is this possible? |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by cooooooks(m): 3:44am On Sep 30, 2022 |
Then when you apply to renew, how do you explain that you did nothing all year? skull4eva: |

Lawfulness: My advise is to complete your first semester, then apply for your family. It’s safer that way because 4 months is a long time for people to change their mind about a decision. You don’t have to wait till you graduate. 1 Like |

Abeg, people that have received PPR should come back to share timeline and document submitted as promised. Make we dey use that one hold body. Also, people that are yet to apply can also learn current trends on this application since Canada visa application is just as their weather. It will end in praise for us all. 6 Likes |

cooooooks: Yes, it’s possible. A work permit and permanent residence application can run concurrently. |

@NaturalKinzzy Yes, one can get PR with Sowp. One of the ways to achieve this is to work within a NOC that guarantees provincial nomination. Good luck. NaturalKinzzy: 2 Likes 1 Share |

@cooooooks You can apply for a sowp from inside Canada if you're on a visit visa. That's called "flag poling". You can research more on this. cooooooks: 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by SweetJJ: 12:59am On Oct 01, 2022 |
folla:I think flagpoling is different. Flagpoling is applying at the border and it is instant. But yes you can apply for a SOWP with a VV. It use to have a lesser processing period. Check up inland SOWP application. It is very possible. They extended it to 2023. It started because of covid. 1 Like |

@Lawfulness This scenario happened to me as spouse of an international student, but I am typing from Canada. The solution is to allow your student-spouse enter Canada first, then after about 3 months apply for sowp. The student should write a sop stating why the change in plan and change of mind. Humans are allowed to change their plans over time, and this would not amount to a misrep. Good luck. Lawfulness: |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by cooooooks(m): 3:14am On Oct 01, 2022 |
Flagpoling is done at the border. You can do that for many things: PGWP, SOWP, STUDY. Not specifically for SOWP. Technically, flagpoling is not from within Canada but from the USA. I've always been uneasy about this process. Remember that the decision is final. Sadly, some people have found out the harsh way. Recently, a Cameroonian lady given a deport order when she went for a PGWP flagpole. folla: |

Hello everyone, I need your kind inputs please. I intend to apply for SOWP and study visas for my 3 kids. Firstly, do I have to raise 4 different applications? Secondly, do I need to create separate GCKeys for all my kids? Finally, what documents will be required for their applications? |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by folla: 1:54am On Oct 02, 2022 |
@Lawfulness Reasons included she thought she could cope without her family but current reality proved otherwise, loneliness in Canada, family would help her academics, family would provide moral support etc It took 6 months to receive medical requests. Good luck. Lawfulness: 4 Likes 2 Shares |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by folla: 2:00am On Oct 02, 2022 |
@CaptSolitude Just your application and you create only one GCKey. While applying, you will be prompted to add other family members to your application. Practically, your children's profiles will be under yours. Good luck. CaptSolitude: 3 Likes |

Dear All, I really appreciate all the inputs and responses, they've been of immense help. Please how do I upload all my supporting documents like Academic qualifications, evidences of properties, job experiences, SOP etc? Am I to upload them through the "Client Information" section? Additionally, how do I upload documents for my accompanying family members (kids) who are applying for study visas? |

Hello everyone, please I need help and advice on how to go about my children’s application. I'm a little bit confused about their status here now. We just moved to Canada as a family. My wife came here as a student (Study Permit) and I was given a Spouse Open Work Permit based on my wife’s status (student). We moved to Canada with our children who were issued study permit based on their mother’s status as a student. They are now in a public elementary school. My wife just got her Post Graduate Work Permit approved and she is working now, I got my spouse open work permit too, but my children’s study permit will expire in a few months’ time. There is no information on what to do for my children status, when their study permits expire. What do I do next for my children? |
