smart one @skull4eva could this be how they want to find out if spouse is working more than 20 hours a week...just thinking out loud
skull4eva:

To add to what jogojogo has said when applying for your spouse did your by chance submit any nigerian job or claim to get a study leave from your work place in nigeria? If yes they might want to see that. If no then submit the pay slips of your part time job in canada. But sincerely something must have trigered or waranted that request so think well and be careful in responding. It will end in praise

It is adviceable when you send webform you also back up whatever you sent through email to nairobi so that if paradventure they fail to acknowledge the webform they will acknowledge the mail. As for your application i will advise u contact the MP in your school area or the area where you live in Canada so that they can help you follow up. Then keep sending emails to nairobi for expideted action on your application telling them that it has passed the normal processing times which is 36weeks. They might respond better, i said might becos with IRCC nothing is sure. Its only God that will save us from their clutches

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Foxs: 12:29am On Feb 27, 2022
Thank you so much. I'm still very much confused about that Travel exemption/ authorization letter but I'll still send the email. It's not written as part of the requirements here or maybe I'm just confused, so much information at a time.

technix:
1. Stamped passport, admission letter (just in case), IRCC introduction letter, proof of vaccination.

2. IRCC is changing travel rules as from 28 February. Other requirements and documents can be found here (https://travel.gc.ca/travel-covid/travel-restrictions/covid-vaccinated-travellers-entering-canada).

3. The link in 2 above would answer this too.

1b. Renew both simultaneously.

2b. Log into your portal, and start a new application. You will be asked questions that will generate the forms you have to fill (e.g., are you applying for spouse, etc).

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Foxs: 12:49am On Feb 27, 2022
I got a response to my webforms from London office because I sent the first webforms to both London and Nairobi. Then I tailored my form and emails to only Nairobi and I sent them emails every other day for 2weeks but I only got auto responses on my email after then.
The webforms I sent consisted of more documents that I saw people added to their applications, I thought mine was too simple so I added backup and I composed a message which I later used as my email content to Nairobi. I saw a lot of people drop screenshots of theirs earlier in this thread (between june-august E.g stonehenge's profile) and I edited and added to fit my status.

I came across something where they said "if you submit upfront medicals it kind of like speeds up the process because they don't have to request for the medicals so the VO just treats the application directly" unfortunately I don't remember where I read the post but I think it may be a reason why your husband's application has not been updated. It seems like they don't want to fully encourage the upfront medicals.

Regarding the webforms; I ordered GCMS notes same September and it dropped well after 1month and nothing was treated even till I got my PPR and I sent a lot of webforms between September and October.
Just keep praying, I pray that you guys will get PPR very very soon.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Ak30: 2:49am On Feb 28, 2022
I did contact my MP around Feb and the MP office responded back with an update that ircc is reviewing the submitted documents to determine eligibility. However, the gckey says eligibility has not started so I was confused on which one has the accurate update although the MP office told me that their response is the current update on the application.

Thank you

Please house i am about applying for sowp, have an 8year old who is a US citizen, do I apply for study permit for him? Ordinarily he doesn't require visa to enter Canada but since he is accompanying the family I don't know how to go about his application. Then a 5 year old does he need to apply for a study permit
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by technix: 9:50pm On Feb 28, 2022
Hi,

Yes, apply for a study permit for him. He can enter Canada first, and you apply for him at the port of entry. But since he is accompanying the family, you can also apply for him from Nigeria.

Yes, apply for a study permit for the 5-year old too.

Although, both of them can study in Canada with a visitor record when one of the parents is on a study or work permit, it is still recommended to apply for study permits for them, due to different provincial requirements and social services.

Hi guys.
I just came here to offer encouragement to anyone that is feeling frustrated about waiting. It is not easy but it will be worth it, as usual I will remind every-one not to be over-patient! When your application has exceeded the time provided by IRCC do not sit down. God will make it easy for us all in Jesus name!

You do not need admission letter for minor to apply for study permit. Howevet, you must find away around uploading a document to enable you proceed with appliaction on the portal.
You can quote the IRCC where it was mentioned that admission/admission letteror letter of acceptance requirement. Save this pdf and upload

@Bullstriker

Because:
1. Study permit can allow them get a co-op work permit if they are in high school.

2. Some social services and benefits in some provinces will require a study permit.

Hello People!
Trust we are all good?
My husbands Visitor's record will be 3 months on the 8th of March.
Eligibility started 24th of January and someone here said he got feedback one month and ten days after eligibility started, so I am hoping it's the same in our case.

My husband sent a message to five MPs, more of them in Ontario and not a single response from them. I also requested for GCM notes and it will be one month sometime this month, I hope I get some if not all the answers I want by then.


Be safe people!
