I need your advice and input.

I am a married man and intend going to Canada. my agent told me getting a master degree with my grade 2.2(below 3.0) is difficult and using neco again in the school they work with is a No.

so he advised me to go tru B. Sc route using my waec(D7) in maths.

now my questions.
1. can it sail tru easily?
2. can I pay my fees with my working times over there?
3. can I apply for sowp and how long before I can apply for it.


please just a simple answer to help me know my decision.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Bab5: 8:22pm On May 03, 2018
My SOWP application is a month today and all I got is email from CIC stating....

"There have been no updates to your application (Xxxxxxxxxx) since you last checked your account. Thank you for your patience."

Any clue please?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by StudentsNG: 8:40pm On May 03, 2018
Hi, it simply means that there was no changes in your account within the month. This doesn’t call for alarm. Relax and keep believing.

Question 1 & 2 will be answered best on the study thread.

You can only apply for SOWP for your spouse after you receive your TRV.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by ami05: 11:04pm On May 03, 2018
My husband submitted his application February 20th and a month after his account was updated to MEDICAL passed and NO need for additional documents. I'm worried we still haven't heard from CIC till now. I believe it will end well
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Bab5: 12:12am On May 04, 2018
Thank you. Am sure it will end well by God's grace.

I don't know if this is a new trend but @croyance and one other moniker got passport request about 2 months after medical passed. I'll advise you just chill till after standard processing time passed and send CIC a mail. It will end well by God's Grace
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Pheisharah: 9:06am On May 04, 2018

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by rolorolo: 12:35am On May 06, 2018
Hello House. I need your professional advice.

I am currently awaiting my TRV (Study) to be approved and I proclaim that by the special grace of God, I will give testimony on this forum.

Now to my question, my husband and Son have TRV already. Just thinking, should I apply for SOWP for my husband once my TRV is approved or we all enter Canada and get their documents regularised?. I have been on CIC site and I read that application can be made inside of Canada. I don't know how easy that could be and if we have people who have explore this route in the past.

For my daughter, she is a Canadian Citizen, no issue with her. Just concerned on the best approach for my husband and my son. Your comments are welcome please.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by StudentsNG: 1:35am On May 07, 2018
Hello, congrats in advance for your trv.
Don't bother applying for SOWP for your hubby from Naija, come to Canada first.
They will likely issue him work permit at POE. Else, enter first and enrol in school then he can apply for SOWP from within Canada. Its that simple. Goodluck!

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by ami05: 1:28pm On May 26, 2018
My husband application is 13 weeks now and nothing from CIC yet apart from Medical passed which was update like 2 months ago, so i called CIC yesterday on his behalf from Canada but I was told my husband should call the Visa office himself in Nigeria. I am really worried hmmmm
Question
Is it possible for application to be refused despite Medical passed and NO need of additional requiremens?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Bab5: 10:48pm On May 26, 2018

My dear just be patient okay. Some times silence is a positive sign of approval. Medical passed doesn't matter now. What u sud watch out for now is if CIC are done with his background check
