I just came accross this thread. You are doing a great job. My questions... My wife is currently in Canada and her study permit ends in May. I applied for visitor visa for myself and our son under her application. It's been over 2months after biometric no update.Our plan was to flagpole to sowp. My question is 1. can I still apply for spousal open work permit under same application from Nigeria or cancel the visitor's visa and apply for sowp. 2. What documents are required and pof 3. Does sowp get approved faster than visitors visa 4. Should we just be patient or change to sowp as soon as possible. Thank you as I await your response. |

Hello house, you guys are doing a splendid job. Please I applied for SOWP and VVs for my kids, just got medical request for my wife and younger child but not for my older child. As anyone experienced this? Can I send a webform? |

uyi4mata: Good evening, please do you get a WhatsApp group for sowp. Please share if you have. Thank you. |

Good evening house. Please I need clarity on this issue π. Kindly assist me if you can please. A partner to an international student filling those initial questions for her SOWP was only asked proof of relationship ( she has a sibling and now her husband in Canada) which is fine But, NO proof of funds at any point. π€ Is that so? Is there something they're not doing right? Please If I have experienced this kindly share |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by pristinee: 10:48pm On Dec 24, 2023 |
Ehishine18: Yes, no proof of funds was asked at any point on all imm forms for SOWP. |

[quote author=pristinee post=127612691 ![]() ![]() Yes, no proof of funds was asked at any point on all imm forms for SOWP.[/quote] Wow I'm surprised ! So do u mean they shouldn't include it in the application? |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Abbasdaughter(f): 11:54pm On Dec 24, 2023 |
opessi: We called on Monday or Tuesday, they said Sowp official wait/approval period is 4 months and so, we can call back by middle of February next year if we don't get a response I'm just wondering why they said they're prioritising family reunification if it will take 4 months to work on an application! I keep hoping it will be sooner by God's grace Also, we've just submitted a webform containing my husband's transcript and school fee receipt maybe that would hopefully jolt their attention |

[quote author=Ehishine18 post=127612934][/quote] why not? Because it's not on imm form doesn't mean u shouldn't provide it, some people were denied based on insufficient funds. Show it in client information. @Ehishine18 |

@oklarlexzy 1. Yes, you can apply for a sowp. Don't cancel the vv application, as it could even expedite the process. 2. Amongst others, you need documents showing strong home ties like your siblings, parents, parents-in-law, professional associations, investments & real property. 3. It depends on individual cases. It appears that IRCC is more disposed to granting a sowp application to spouse of an international student. 4. Apply for a sowp now. oklarlexzy: |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by oklarlexzy: 12:54pm On Dec 25, 2023 |
@folla.Thanks for your response I really appreciate. Should the application still be under my wife profile or I should open a new account for myself? folla: |

The application is better made under your wife's profile. oklarlexzy: |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by folla: 9:41pm On Dec 27, 2023 |
They will still send medical request for your older child. Thereβs no harm in sending a webform. DamDid: |

When providing advice on financial amounts, it's wise to suggest a slightly higher figure to accommodate potential variations. For instance, if someone mentions a target of 4,000, a good strategy is to recommend aiming for around 4,500. This extra margin ensures that any unforeseen changes or fluctuations are covered. I nor too trust that currency called naira nowadays. ianian: |

it will come, but it's not a bad idea to send Webform. Please go ahead. Good luck! DamDid: |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by OkukuOne(m): 3:22am On Dec 29, 2023 |
incorrect. Begin by creating your own account and include your children in your application. You will require your wife's SP, an invitation letter, and various other supporting documents for your application. Initiate the process by setting up a GCKey account. As you proceed, the steps will become clearer. Make sure to take your time and go through the thread carefully, as it contains plenty of useful information that will aid you in the process. Good luck! folla: 1 Like |

My brother, why didn't you bring this up earlier? It seems a bit like misrepresentation in some way... I suggest you submit your SOWP before traveling. If I were in your situation, I'd apply for my SOWP and travel to Canada with my visitor visa. If there's no response after two months, you could then proceed with your wife and do the flagpoling. This approach demonstrates that you had already applied for your SOWP before leaving Nigeria and ensures that all information is accurately recorded, unlike in your previous VV application. Good luck! DripDude: |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by oklarlexzy: 8:43pm On Dec 29, 2023 |
Thank you I really appreciate . 1.Will I be doing a new biometric or I can link the visitors visa biometric with sowp? 2. Am I applying for a visitor visa on my profile too for my child . Note: we both applied for vv under my wife profile before? OkukuOne: |

Good afternoon, Please I chose No when asked if am accompaning a family member as my husband was already in Canada, I didn't get the space to put proof of relationship so I included it in client information section. Please is this an issue? It was after I submitted I learnt it was because I chose No I didn't get a space to put proof of relationship. how can I correct this if it is an issue?

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by pristinee: 3:19am On Dec 31, 2023 |
lois2016: You did the right thing. No issue Puting proof of relationship in client information is appropriate. Screenshot below is from IRCC website. Some oversabi people will just make u confused.
