It's 3 months after applicant had settled in Canada.

This is recommended, especially where the applicant has used his family as home tie. Furthermore, it's the pattern with applications that have resulted in more success.

Cheers.

Thank you so much for your response

Asking for a friend :

Good day to all the Gurus in the house,
please we are in a dilemma and need your help and contributions.
We submitted application for spousal open work permit on December 2022 and a visiting visa for our 2years old son and till now we are yet to get a response from IRCC.
Updated proof of account was requested on May 2023 and it was submitted.
Medicals was requested on June 2023, son's medicals was updated to pass June 30, 2023
Spouse medical was updated to pass July 08, 2023 and since then we are yet to get any response from IRCC.
GCMS notes has been requested multiple times now and the notes says recommend interview for son , and eligibility passed for spouse.
We have sent numerous webforms but no response
sent mails and no response still.
We have also contacted the MP on November and he said IRCC said they will expedite the application.
but as at of present no response.
Please what next can we do .
thanks

Is the primary applicant an international student? If yes, procure an updated transcript of the student and send to IRCC by webform.

This would help.

For me, he should just mention he was refused in 2022 because of this and that. However, ensure you guys are well prepared now.

Good luck

Adeola4568:
Hello,
My husband SOWP was refused in Nov 2022, we intend to reapply, please does he have to state the refusal and what he has done about it in his LOE.
The refusal was based on finance and assets.
I am open to feedbacks.
Thank you.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by tinuowo(f): 1:28pm On Jan 17
Thank you Jesus!!!🙏

Thank you all for your inputs too🙏

PPR dropped yesterday for my family after using two different agents because I didn’t have time and it led to denials.
I had to sit myself to do the application myself with the help of God and you all…🙏 am just rounding up a 2yrs program, my final level.
Date applied: November 14th 2023
PPR: January 16th 2024
Sent webform on the 14th of January at 12am Canadian time cos I know it will be around 7am-8am in Nairobi.
PS: please dont use agent for your family application there is nothing like sitting yourself to do it. You will knlw the right documents and pictures to attach.

Please what is the process submitting passport at VFS. Should we book or take the passports to the UPS at the front of VFS center?

Congratulations @tinuowo. I wanted to ask a question. My husband put in an application on the 17th of November, 2023. You mentioned that you sent a web form. Was it to inquire or ask for a fast track of the application? I am asking because since we made the application, it has just been biometrics passed and background information in progress. Any advice?

Although the UPS said my children will pay transmission fee of 17k each since they didn’t do biometric.

Yes I wrote an emotional note that I left my children most especially my baby( left him @9months) to come study in Canada….that I have left them for too long and I am missing them…I also attached my result up to 3semesters that I have done and my complete school fees receipt to show them that see oo I have completed my school fees… cos d reasons for there previous denials were insufficient Proof of fund.

My advice, send them a webform, if you r in Canada target 12-1am to send the webform. Just write a note according to your situation and attach a document to show your progress in your study (just speaking from my lil experience)
Even before the webform, I have called them severally but I realized those guys are just customer service agents there is nothing they can do from there end.. they will even tell me to send a webform.
Above everything pray 🙏 your husband PPR will come through by God’s grace🙏

I hope this helps?

Applied for a family of 3 on September 14th. Two weeks After I got to Canada
wife refused on November 18 because she did not provide enough proof that her husband is a DLI student
applied for GCMS not and resubmitted without receiving the note
Medical passed December 15th for wife and last child
medical passed on January 12 for the first Child
PPR 18th for all 3
Again don't give up.

For you too trying to reunite with your family don't stop trying.

Good afternoon everyone, I have learned a lot from the little time I've been here. Well done.

My question is that my husband is schooling in Canada, he's settled and has an apartment. I am planning to apply for my open work permit so I can join him.

My salary is barely sufficient to show as proof of funds but my husband has enough funds to sponsor me.

Please, will the new proof of funds policy for student visa application apply to him

meaning does he have to show 20,000CAD alongside 5000CAD for me

How does it work, please

We are currently in a dilemma and confused.

Hi everyone,

We called IRCC from inside Canada on Friday with my spouse on the phone with me so as to give authority to release personal information related to her sowp application. The agent would not tell us exactly what was happening to her application just the basic things we know on the portal, nothing different. They told us that we will have feedback once the visa officer is done with it and that they can't tell us as agent.

However, we asked about which center is looking at the application and they told us Primary is RROC , that is the Rapid Response Operation Center and the secondary is Nairobi office.

My question is what does our application being at the RROC mean? Application submitted 28th October with upfront medical which has not be treated. Biometrics passed November 10th.

Anyone else experienced this Primary RROC and secondary Nairobi thing before. This is tiring.
