pristinee:


I think it's best this person apply now. claiming he/she needs to attend d spouse graduation is a good reason for sowp application, stating how important it is for the family. This has nothing to do with pgwp expiration, anytime pgwp is renewed, the expired sowp can be renewed too.

my opinion.

Hello Nairalanders

Please I have a quick question.
With the latest updates on the ircc, is it compulsory a pgwp have a job before applying for the spouse's open work permit even if they want to FLAGPOLE?

THANKS IN ANTICIPATION

Hello Gurus in the house, I applied for SOWP with visitor’s visa for my 11 months old baby March 12th, did Biometrics March 20th. My husband traveled May 2nd, my eligibility started May 5th, and till now May 17th I haven’t gotten any response. Would it be okay to send webform pleading my application should be expedited ? I checked the application tracker and my application was last updated May 8th.

PPR Alert for SOWP.

I type this with sim much joy and pleasure as my wife’s SOWP was just approved. We got married sometime last year and I also graduated from a DLI last year but because I did flagpole at the American boarder, and didn’t have a recognized NOC (TEER) job, we couldn’t apply as we knew it would be straight rejection.

Not until after Canada announced that anyone could apply after February 1st as long as you have an eligible PGWP. We decided to wait till then, and filled in the application late February. After several weeks and months and sending personal emails and webforms, Canada decided to give us our love yesterday yesterday.

For those interested in applying with their spouse, be it married for a longtime or just got married, please and please, put in that application. You would be surprised at the outcome.

PS: We also contacted the MP in Burnaby, New Westminster and Central Vancouver to expedite our process and we only got feedback from one of them. Although, we feel that also impacted our timeline.

Sup, everyone. I received my passport request last week, but my daughter request has not been sent yet .
I believe the application is been processed separately as she's on a visitors permit .

My question now is Can I submit my passport alone to vfs while waiting for her own ppr? Or we have to submit together .

Pash25:
Hi all,
Please i need your help.
My spouse applied for SOWP Oct 29th 2022 and biometrics was done and uploaded November 4th 2022. He got refused March 6th 2023 with the following reasons: (please check image) i didnt upload my enrollment student letter or bank statements(my big mistake)
We decided to wait as my study permit expires July 31 2023 and i applied for extension since Jan 6th 2023.(in hopes i received an extension early as i know the SOWP is dependant on my study permit)
However we are thinking of reapplying again before july 31st for another SOWP or a visitor visa
My mum will also be a sponsor to show POF

We are hoping to apply with my current study permit and the letter i received stating that my study permit extension is still in process. My visitor visa is not expiring till December 2024

Please can you advise as i may be on implied status soon.
