Luckybelt:

When you start the application and state the age of each child, they will attach the IMM to each of them. And at the top of each page it will tell you who is eligible to fill it


Thank you

Your friend should send webform and email to IRCC to link this medical request number with the upfront medical number.

Cheers

Thank you so much, highly appreciated Sir

Goodafternoon House, please based on the medical request from IRCC for a friend, she did it at IOM, she called IOM and they told her the day it was sent, do you all think is ideal she includes the date it was sent to IRCC in the letter she's writing to IRCC and also attaching the medical sheet.

She does not need to mention when IOM sent the results to IRCC. They will link it on their end.

Use the Old portal to apply for SOWP.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by OkukuOne(m): 9:01am On Feb 28, 2023
@Jogazino et al,

Why the choice of the old portal? Is it preferable or what is/are the benefit(s)?

Please, if we throw more light on it, it will help a whole lot of us already processing ours in the new portal.

Thanks, in anticipation.

There is no option for Spouse Open Work Permit on the new portal unless it has just been added.

@Makano, Skull4eve, and the leaders here, kindly help to address this issue. @DrAFOguns, thinks the GCkey portal does not have SOWP. If it does or I am making a mistake here, kindly share the one to be used/preferred.

Thanks, team.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Kaycherry: 6:03pm On Feb 28, 2023
I just received a refusal for my SOWP...IRCC stated that I did not meet the requirements for the "International Mobility Program"

I am a bit confused because I applied for SOWP or is it the same thing as International Mobility program.

Please someone should help with an answer coz I'm really confused

It seems the Open Work Permits application is domiciled under the International Mobility Program. I have seen someone else's previous SOWP refusal worded exactly the same way.

Please apply for GCMS note. I think there are only about three or four reasons IRCC sometimes refuse an SOWP:

1. Financial inadequacy

2. Unconvincing evidence of marital relationship (such as for newlyweds)

3. If your SOP indicates you intend to remain in Canada as a PR after your SOWP expires (Note that in terms of purpose of visit, double intent is absolutely legitimate as per IRCC's own laws, but some of their reviewing officers are just not open-minded)

4. Falsification of documents (which I don't think any sensible applicant will do)


Whichever case it is, please don't lose hope, don't stop fighting. Prepare your documents again, tackle the problem and reapply.

Success to us all!

The GCKey is also what we refer to as the old portal, so you are on track.

Okay. Please apply for GCMS Notes ASAP.

This might seem useless (it might not even work) but I've seen it work on two different occasions: Considering that their reason for refusal isn't something serious or damaging, please write a well-worded, cordial letter to the processing office, challenging their reasons for refusal, and explaining your Purpose of Visit in line with a temporary stay, making them see you and your spouse's intention and plan to leave Canada at the end of his legally assigned stay in Canada. The only thing is, considering he/she has 6 months left in his study permit, I don't know if it's reasonable to mention his intentions to apply for a Postgraduate Work Permit.
