Hello House ,we are a young couple with no kids yet. In your candid opinion, I need your advise.

I am about applying for a postgraduate dip that will take 2 years. Will you advise that I go ahead or just take my time and apply for express entry with my wife?

I am asking because most people in here are quite experienced .

So I checked my wife's email this morning and I received message from cic after 6months 4 days since biometrics. I checked her profile and she's asked to provide medicals again. And a medical report form which shows her bio info. is included in their message

Please let her go and do it again. Same thing happened to Edoblakky. So they won't have any reason to deny her. It's well

This depends on if you meet the Express Entry requirement. Since you are married, you may need about 3 years work experience, good IELTS result (for you and/or your wife), and your age group. Those are just the basics. Please check the Express Entry forum for more info:

Use this tool to check how much score you can get
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp
Last draw was 447 I hear say them go reach 350 at some point this year, so no loose hope if your point no plenty
I will encourage you to continue writing the English test until you get the best scores.

No statement at all from Both sides. No employment related documents at all. We had previously applied 4times for Canada visiting visa with work related document so we decided to keep this simple as possible

I have seen someone on this thread that applied on the 6th of December via paper route and got medical mail on the 21st of same month. Nothing is impossible.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Mbogi: 5:03pm On Feb 23, 2017
You need a job offer that is supported with LMIA.
But why border for work permit if you can qualify for express entry
The secret to express entry is to continue writing the English test until you get the best result.
PR on Express entry is even faster than this open work permit

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by kasco2pro: 7:03pm On Feb 23, 2017
Option 2. Take your time and apply for express entry. Try to score clb 10 in your English test or min 9 in your IELTS test to boost your point and if your have min 3years work experience in Nigeria the better. Having your PR will mean you pay about half the tuition fees. So it's good to wait except you want to take the other route which will cost you more

Please i have a question. If one already submitted SOWP application and later got Invitation to Apply via Express Entry, what should one do? Can one have two applications simultaneously?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Gymme(m): 5:37pm On Feb 25, 2017
Yes you can because they are two different categories: Temporary and Permanent.

Hi everyone. I have been following this thread for a while now.. My husband was given his study visa in January 2017,and i am supposed to apply for SOWP. Now my question is i am working in a new company and will the duration of work not be a barrier? As i have only soent two months.. Or should i apply using my old place pf work since i have a relationship with my old boss.

No ma'am, you can include in your application recommendation letter from your previous work with job letter and payslips from your present work. employment will count as ties to Nigeria.

Hello guys, I am presently in Canada studying and want my husband to apply for the spousal open work permit from Nigeria. Please is this from the same for Spousal Open Work Permit? Also are there any implication of not having properties to support his application? Thanks.
