My question is after filling IMM 5645 E, can I merge extra document with it and upload? I’m not sure client information section will be enough. Thanks

You can please disregard this. I checked my email, it was only the counterfoil I saw not the letter of introduction. I think people that have travelled with kids can help us with this cos I would like to know as well
Thank you very much, the counterfoil and LOI have dropped for SOWP... And only counterfoil for VV.
I asked someone who's in Canada,... It's only counterfoil that's needed for VV, at the port of entry they'll issue a visitor's record for VV and work permit for OWP.
So all is good, just waiting to get the passports back. I'm happy both are valid till 2027

I don't think that's a great idea. It's better to upload each IRCC forms without attaching any document with it. Those documents can be attached under client's information.

Oh … I am not sure you can attach documents to IMM forms, because most of them are electronically filled

Why is IRCC delaying our good news like this? It doesn't make sense any more.

Dear Toceen2022, Makano, diizzy968 et al,

Please, kindly assist.

Can I add my Employment letter, Payslips, and House Properties to the Photo Passport Page?

The reason is that my client information is already 4.116MB already.

Can IRCC penalize someone because of that?

My submission date is tomorrow by God's grace. I need answers pls!

Guy, IRCC served me hot breakfast Yesterday. I submitted SOWP for my wife and VV for my 5month old baby.
Application submitted on 29 Jan 2023
biometric done on 31 Jan 2023
upfront medical submitted.
Medical Passed 09 feb 2023.
Refusal 06 March 2023.
Reason: You do not qualify under the IMP as you provided insufficient information to demonstrate that your spouse is a full-time student in a qualifying program at a DLI in Canada. Refused under R205(c)(ii).
I submitted all documents apart from acceptance letter and enrollment form. Guys what should I do now?

Please can you tell me how to apply from Nigeria as my study permit as already been approved? I want to apply for my wife and child

My wife's PPR is out. I applied on 19th December 2022 (with upfront medical). PPR issued on 2nd March.

Thanks sooo much for your contribution. It was this thread that made me apply for SOWP for my wife. Initially, I wanted to apply for visitor visa but people advised me against it and recommended I apply for SOWP instead. I was initially scared about the processing time I was seeing on cic, but PPR has just been issued in just 2.5 months.
Please can you also help as my study permit has just recently been approved. Can you send the link on step by steps on how to apply SOWP for my wife and a minor

I didn't use a link to apply. She needs to apply for an open work permit just the same way you applied for study permits. You will include all necessary information including your study permit, your stamped passport, proof of funds, proof of marital /family status (including certificates and photos), etc.

It is always good to over submit than under-submit. Because a refusal means another 3-4 months delay. it's not worth it. Let me tell you the documents I submitted to prove my studentship for my wife's visa:

acceptance letter (very very important)
scholarship letter
student permit
my stamped passport page
enrollment form
my PPR
proof of payment of school tuition

I want to apply for the first time for a student visa as I have an offer for a post graduate course.

I have been following the thread here and I NEED GUIDANCE on how to submit my online application since I have collated all the required documents.

tried reaching out to some agents and they told me to hand over 300k just to submit my application which sounds ridiculous.

pls how do i do it myself

How do you submit your own application

Open a gc key account,
Type of visa, you select work and fill the questionnaire’s appropriately. Check YouTube for videos on how to fill SOWP applications

Hello everyone,

I need advise. I just want to start my visa application. I would like to apply for study permit with my family. Would you advise I apply for sowp or Visiting visa for my spouse considering the fact that he is in paid employment and the company will not give him leave of absence longer than 1 month. If I apply for SOWP, what will I use as home tie for him.

If I apply for VV for him, can I still use him as home tie.

Thank you.

There is no rule. Just the average time it takes to resubmit your application and have it processed. It could be shorter or longer.
You can check the average processing time online. For work permit from Nigeria, it is about 27 weeks.
