Hello everyone , I was thinking , can one have sowp and visitors visa running at the same time?
Is it going to be a red flag?

Below is the message I got from office of one of the MPs I contacted on my family's application

Good afternoon,

We strongly apologize for the delay in getting back to you. I was informed by IRCC that due to the current events, many of their resources have been redirected to support the Afghanistan dedicated phone line. As a result, there are limited amount of agents that remain available for telephone enquiries related to urgent cases only until further notice.

I really apologize for the inconvenience and I will gladly follow up once the resources are back up and running. Could you please reach out in about 2 weeks if you haven’t received anything on the file?

Thank you and I apologize once again,

I tire ooo. I emailed IRCC Manila, Philippines telling them my application has passed processing time since I applied from there (No response),
I emailed IRCC Nairobi the same email knowing that my file is with them ( No response),
I emailed IRCC London same also they responded in 2 hours that I should send a Webform which I did immediately.
This morning I got a No reply email from IRCC that "We will respond to these priority enquiries only:
· Clients in crisis situations (like those affected by the situation in Afghanistan)
· Clients facing vulnerable circumstances (emergency and urgent requests)
· Clients who need to tell us about a change in their circumstances, which has a direct impact on their application (like marriage, birth of a child, or similar)
· Clients who are submitting documents requested by one of our officers
· Changes in contact information
· Requests to withdraw an application or refunds
If your enquiry is NOT one of the priority enquiries listed above, you will not receive a reply.
If you included attachments with your enquiry, rest assured that they will be added to your file shortly.

Hello everyone. Please I need help on applying for an open work permit for my husband and study permit for my kids ages 7,3,3. Don't know how to go about it.

I have a job offer from an AIPP designated employer, currently waiting for endorsement. My employer wants me to apply for a TWP and PR later. I'm traveling with my family but don't know how to combine my TWP application with my husband's OWP and kids' study permit. I've done lots and lots of research on this. Kind of exhausted and still confused.

Please my people, help your sister!

Make God touch their hearts to pick our files. I got my gcms note today. No update eligibility was blank. My file went to Manila, Nairobi, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Vienna, Lagos, London. Transfer reason: workload (re) distribution.

Hello house...please I have a question. My spouse just got his study visa but he is resuming in January...and I'm expecting a baby..do I apply for SOWP or for a medical visa. Given the long processing times and the fact that I have to wait for him to resume school to apply the SOWP....what's my best option?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Lianna2020: 8:55pm On Sep 09, 2021
You can go for visit visa since it’s prioritized at the moment

Please can anyone tell me how much proof of fund is required when applying for SPOW for wife and 3 kids, all kids are less than 18 year old.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Akannitommy: 9:45pm On Sep 09, 2021
Although I am still awaiting outcome, I budgeted $10k for my spouse and $4k each for the 3 kids. POF in my Canadian bank account was about $22k when I submitted applications. This was in addition to over $100k in PhD funding documented in the application too.

I think it is safe to use LICO (Low- income Cut-Off). Please see attached table.
