What is the chance or probability of getting work permit visa approved when they request for medical exam?

Please kindly share the timeline of your open work permit approval.

I applied in June 13 2020 with upfront medicals, did biometrics in August 24 but no update till date.

Has the background check been completed and has eligibility even started yet?

Stiil both in Naija, applied together and both got medical requests the same day.

Is getting medical request means a high probability of visa approval?

Okay. Did you both applied for a study permit or your spouse got a study permit visa and your applied for a SOWP?

milkytins:

Hello everyone. Please I am about to start sowp application for my spouse. Someome mentioned that one can do the application from within Canada and use the representative form. Has anyone used this route? Also please I will really appreciate if anyone can help out with samples of their letter of invitation and the sample letter the spouse needs to write.
Thanks so much in advance

eligibility hasnt yet started . im getting tired.

Good evening everyone on this great platform, thanks to all who's shared their experiences and advises,its being quite helpful.

I have few questions I'd like to ask about SOWP requirements;
do I have to get a job in canada before applying?

Due to few delays my degree isn't ready but I've
completed it,would not having a certificate serve as any form of hindrance?

Do I have to build my account, if yes like how much should be in there,and would my husband (in canada) also need to reflect any certain amount of money in his account too?
I await your responses.....thank you

Unnn patience, you need to obtain a PhD in patientology o pls permit my English I checked dere website today.. work permit processing time is 50 weeks for Nigerians something that use to be 16 weeks max. It is well... Honestly we need prayer that is something that cannot fail, God ... Alone can turn around dis covid palava so things can come back to normal.

No certain amount.. but you need something tangible and something important as home ties , landed property. etc... Since ur spouse is working presently.

Hello, please what procedure did you follow to submit your passport? The information is not on their website.

As regards Proof of Funds for SOWP, does it really matter if the bulk of funds is in wife's account in Canada? Please note: His wife is on Study Permit and presently in Canada.

Don't you have a job or bussiness any source of income ur account matters.. being able to take care of yourself before getting a job is what they are looking for
