Hello gurus in the house I need your advice, please. I applied for my husband to join me through SOWP since 26th February online route and have not heard anything from them. We got married in January and sent his application immediately I came back to Canada, but the issue here is that I graduated last month and need to apply for my post-graduate work permit as my student work permit will be expiring in November 2019. I didn't know it takes this long to process SWOP. I am so confused on how to go about it if I should write to them asking why the application is delaying or withdraw the application and apply for my post-graduate work permit? |

Sowp is dependent on your study permit, since you have graduated I will advice you leave his application there. And apply for PGWP sharply, so that once you get that his application will depend on that. But make sure you get a job in NOC A,B or 0 so they dont turn you guys down. My spouse Sowp took 10months +, so do not worry, just go ahead and apply for your PGWP first. julechi: 1 Like |

Long Approval Alert! I just want to thank everyone that contributed to my approval. @wealth360, I will never forget you for all your advice and guidance. I was refused Visitor's visa three(3) times and it all came as a rude shock because I believed I had a tight application. Details: 1st Application (Visitors Visa) March 2018 - Refused ( only reason was Socio-economic ties to Nigeria) 2nd Application (Visitors Visa) May 2018 ( Used Canreach) - Refused ( Document not authentic) - Was shocked because all my documents were verifiable. 3rd Application ( Visitors Visa) June 2018 ( Did it myself ) - Refused ( Existing EE profile ) At this point, my spouse was upset. Went to his school immigration and they said we were asking for the wrong visa. I sincerely wanted to only visit because of my work here in Nigeria ( I work with an IOC). 4th Application ( SOWP) February 2019 - Approved Today (Paper route) Note: I submitted the same documents that I used for my visiting visa's, just a little addition.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Nobody: 12:53pm On Jul 05, 2019 |
It seems there might just be 2 or 3 people here waiting for approval. Can we make this thread a bit active in order to help each other gain insight into possible processing time. My Current Challenge..I have applied for the past 4 weeks now and I cannot link the paper application(OWP) to my account. Anyone with similar experience? How long should any OWP be before you can link it? |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by jaybaby2017: 5:26pm On Jul 05, 2019 |
I applied in February but could only link my application on the 17th of May after several mails to CIC. Thebushboy: |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Drpak: 9:41pm On Jul 05, 2019 |
The documents are the same for both inside and outside Canada. The documents required depends on whether your spouse is on work or study permit. Oluwaseunbd: |

Is it true that one can get a genuine Australia or Canadian work visa from Nigeria? |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by coolsammie: 4:45pm On Jul 06, 2019 |
Open work permit (spousal open work permit is like layman term). Your wife sop & your supporting letter must state her employable level/status. Attach doc like letter of employment, confirmation of employment if applicable, promotion letter, certificates. PFA Statement. Biz Doc if she is self employed. Since you are planning to apply together, you must have a good SOA (both of you -your SOA & wife SOA) Let your SOPs be convincing to stir up vo compassion. Good home ties; families, investment, Evaluate your properties. I don't if type of program, duration, province does count. Immigration experts use to say that, It is good to have ur study TRV first then the open work permit. It's possible quest, weigh your options. quote author=TheInvestor post=79883263]Hello Guys, Please if a student & his wife(for instance )are planning a joint application.

omoluka:Yes . You can get that in two ways a) Open work permit - strictly for those whose spouses are working or studying in Canada. With this work permit, you can work in any sector in Canada. You are exempted from the LMIA requirement b) Closed work permit- can only be gotten with a job offer in Canada. You need LMIA |

Schonebaby: Thank you Schonebaby for sharing your testimony. It really inspired and gave me hope concerning my husband's SOWP. I have been wondering where to start from and what to write in our LOE for his work permit and my chidren's TRV since I used them as home ties when applying for my study permit. I am also resuming for my masters in fall and I will love them to accompany me. Please I need your help on the way forward. Please help a sister.

Hello, I want to know what kind of visa I need to apply for my daughter while my wife apply for SOWP. She is just 7 months old. 2) my Study permit expires by nov 2019.

I look forward to your help! Thank you |
