Quick question. Does it say background check for the full 15 weeks of processing before it starts eligibility review. or it says background check completed at some point. |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Jejelaye01: 5:37pm On Feb 11, 2020 |
hayqinsbFX:This is a great question, I was thinking same. At what point does it says background check completed? At the moment, my eligibility and BC is in process. |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by emeify1: 8:30pm On Feb 11, 2020 |
I think everything gets completed when a final decision is made. Yours is particularly strange though, because medical has been passed 3months ago! Keep.us posted though. Am sure it will be an approval. All d best Jejelaye01: |

Lol. I know.... Have u ever sent a web form to ask for status? Your MP office can also give details of the status of your application. Just mail them with your ICI and DOB and they will inquire of CIC. U get status same day. Jejelaye01: |

emeify1:I did that already and was told it's under active process. |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by emeify1: 4:49am On Feb 12, 2020 |
Active process taking this long. Then those in normal process should just forget it. Its well Jejelaye01: |

The day application was linked online Eligibility review: About a week later Medicals update and BVL: January 8, 2020 Approval: February 12, 2020.

Just out of curiosity. How would it take Ghana, Kenya and Benin 6 weeks to get their app processed and it takes Nigeria 15 weeks; they are processed from the same visa office. This could be an issue with the Nigerian system; maybe a slow response time in verifying some documents or background check. |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by emeify1: 2:32am On Feb 21, 2020 |
I doubt that response time is d issue after all people reapply within a few months and should their background check take that long in that case if it was done b4? I suspect they just push our applications aside and concentrate on others. How can u explain an application submitted in September still pending? Its mindblowing really. hayqinsbFX: |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Jejelaye01: 9:19pm On Feb 21, 2020 |
The matter weak me ooo, today makes it exactly 15 weeks and yet no word from them!!! Medicals has been passed and updated and yet no further instruction/s. |

Good day gurus in the house,am a silent reader i apply for close work permit LMIA base,after 5months i received a notification for additional documents,pls �i want gurus to interpret the below upload ,because i didn't use a sponsor on that note what should i do am i to upload my bank statement or no

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by HonWise(m): 2:39pm On Feb 27, 2020 |
Omokas2: Hello Omokas2, Though am not a guru and had not seen this type of process in recent days, but looking through the above letter, the consultant used IRCC template and drafted a request letter sent to you, your application is still with the people handling your result evaluation, (are they WES?) The mail is from them, looking at the website and all, your application and request had not gone pass their table, applying for a closed work permit does not involves the underlisted documents, since you're not a EE applicant, but if you have no sponsor as it may, you can request for a clarification of what they need in particular or send the details they require to them stating that you didn't use a sponsor. IRCC don't send reminder mail once you received a request mail, they give you a set date to respond and decision will be made on your application. Best to do is to reach out to the consultant handling your file and seek clarification of the required documents, while you may add your educational documents to the mail and send. Others can comment too. Hope it helps |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Omokas2: 6:51am On Feb 28, 2020 |
HonWise: thanks for your contribution,i guess suppose is WES wont i pay for the service? is work permit not express entry EE,this process baffles me i swear. |

Good afternoon to you all, please I need your help on this. I applied for sowp last year but I was denied and i reapplied last month and now I got a message that I have to my biometrics which have done last year which is going to expire 2029 although I just changed my surname to that of my husband, but I have sent the receipt of the previous biometrics I did, affidavit, marriage certificate, newspaper publication but I am yet to receive a response from them. Please what do you think I should do .Do I have to do another biometric due to the change of name? 2 Likes |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by YesLadyN: 4:23pm On Mar 04, 2020 |
jydorchem: I really don’t think so. Perhaps you can send them a CSE explaining the situation and wait for their advice. By the way, did you have to process a new passport bearing your new surname too? All the best. |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by jydorchem: 6:13pm On Mar 04, 2020 |
Thanks for your response, yes I processed another passport with my new surname. Please what is CSE? YesLadyN: |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by YesLadyN: 7:18pm On Mar 04, 2020 |
jydorchem: Uwc. CSE is case specific enquiry. Search this on their site and follow the instructions. It’s very straightforward. You can send a mail too to follow up |

Pls if I want to apply with my family on work permit under class B. What can I claim as home tires, also what amount of POF can I show that can cover for family of 5. Though the company that employed me in Winnipeg Manitoba will cover my own ticket, accommodation and transportation for over one month. Thanks |

okikiabdu: Congratulations @okikiabdu Thanks for adding to the tempo of this group with this exciting news. For the benefit of those in a similar situation, can you please explicitly elaborate on how you went ahead with a joint application? I observe that often times couples try to play it careful by applying one at a time: student visa first before sowp. Your input will be very enlightening. Enjoy your new lives ahead! |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Nobody: 5:59am On Mar 06, 2020 |
YesLadyN: I think it is better to apply as a couple and show that the accompanying spouse can support him or herself. I had about 12k Canadian dollars in my account. Also, I wrote an emotional SOP about keeping our family together. Maybe we would have submitted more papers if we had known about this thread before our application. The only things I submitted that weren’t asked for were my car papers, statement of account and my travel history. No police report, no marriage pictures, I didn’t even submit my employment letter. 4 Likes 1 Share |
