Please permit me to derail a bit. The sponsor you used, is the person a family relation in any way? Cos I want to use a sponsor that is not related to me
If you intend to use a sponsor not related to you then the person has to show commitment by paying.

How long does it take if passport is submitted for stamping at VFS Lagos?
Around 10days for abuja including weekends and most times faster than that just make sure all documents are intact to avoid delays

Wow!!! So you expect her to read the whole thread when someone can just list the documents submitted as it is done in the study visa thread. Anyways there is no information or list of documents submitted on page one

I am almost on the same page as you but I have been reading and I know for sure you need an LOE, an invitation letter from your husband, his school documents - ID, SIN and your personal documents including POF and your current job.

Congratulations to all PPRs and best regards to every member of this forum..

Please friends, anyone with advise, suggestion or you can help to find out the solution to this peculiar situation. Better still help with any lawyer or expert contact.
GOD bless you.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Safetysmile: 1:53am On Nov 12, 2022
My wife is a student, I applied for visit visa with my kids in December last year and my application has not been completed.

I requested for my gcms and discovered that I passed eligibility and other stages, also PPR was marked for 3rd of February this year. However, my application was sent for security screening because my occupation deals with firearm and other combat weapons.

Pls what can I do to make IRCC send my PPR?

Please does anyone know the impact of MP on SOWP application?

Because the processing time for our application was 13weeks and we are going to 8 months nothing has been updated, not even upfront medicals so we contacted MP 2months back and was told only criminality passed. She advised we contact them again after 2months if nothing by then.

Reach out to this MP, their office should be able to assist application that has passed processing time. pam.damoff.c1@parl.gc.ca

Use the new webform to request for an update on your application then said a plea email to Nairobi @8am their time, to London office, to Beijing office and maybe to Lagos and Abuja.

Hello guys, please I need clarification.

I'm applying for SOWP for my wife, and the forms were automatically generated. However, I notice the Family Information form - IMM 5707 generated is dated (06-2019), which does not include any section for siblings information. But the ones I've been seeing online is dated 2021 and has the section for siblings information.
Do I need to replace it with the newer form that has siblings information or I should just use the older form? Please advise!

Good Morning Great People,

Please can anyone recommend a good photo studio where I can take the CANADA PERMANENT RESIDENT PERMIT OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPH in Lagos.

I noticed most of the studios around me do not know how to gauge the measurement.

Kindly refer me to any that you have used & is accurate.

Thank you.

@Profgordons and @ justwise Hello,

I am feeling so so sad today, please I need your advise.
I recently graduated and I have applied for my PGWP, not yet received for 3months. Last month I applied for SOWP for my spouse because the one she had expired September ending and she went home to visit her parent so she is outside Canada. We were waiting for an approval then she can come back. This evening I received a mail from them that the
"After careful review of your work permit application and supporting documentation under the International Mobility Program, I have determined that your application doesn't meet the requirements of the IRPA and IRPR. I'm refusing your application on the following grounds: . Eligibility for a work permit in this category only applies to the spouse or common law partner of a work permit holder who is doing work that is at a level that falls within National Occupational Classification (NOC) skill levels 0, A, B." I recently got a job but in a Noc C but when the new teer system is implemented my skill level would be changed to a recognized skill for express entry.

Please what do we do now. We are so sad and confused

Pls I recently applied for sowp and SP for my 2 kids, as at 1st October, upfront medical done 3rd and sent to IRCC on the 7th but yet to be uploaded by IRCC.
No update since application submitted.

Can I start sending them mails or webform.
Also can my hubby student in Canada send them mails too
Kindly advise plsssssss
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by kroy(m): 1:36pm On Nov 16, 2022
No 1) I don't know what informed you decision to have allowed your wife to leave Canada knowing what cost you guys to get the family over there .

No 2) As per your wife SOWP, she can't get any approval until you get ur PGWP añd work for like 3 months so that you can include letters and payslip in Job with NOC O,A,B.

For now, your wife will wait if she doesn't have a valid ETA to come in as visitor.

This is a mistake many people make. Leaving when they don't know how to get back or if they will be allowed to do so. Another is having complicated immigration history and going to marry outside and applying to bring in the spouses. All-the-time mistakes!
