My husband application is 13 weeks now and nothing from CIC yet apart from Medical passed which was update like 2 months ago, so i called CIC yesterday on his behalf from Canada but I was told my husband should call the Visa office himself in Nigeria. I am really worried hmmmm
Question
Is it possible for application to be refused despite Medical passed and NO need of additional requiremens?
Again if it is paper application your husbby did, u can't call CIC on his behalf. Let him call Lagos office himself. Please don't call them again just leave it for husbby

Thank you!! They are still reviewing his background check. I really pray and hope it will be approved by God's grace.

My dear just be patient okay. Some times silence is a positive sign of approval. Medical passed doesn't matter now. What u sud watch out for now is if CIC are done with his background check

Aii. It will end in praise. Once the background check is done the line BTW reviewing for eligibility to approval or PPr is very short. Keep praying
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Jimmychuks2018: 4:20am On May 28, 2018
Applied 19th April, biometrics 20th still on background check. What do they even look out for background check especially for someone who has previously applied and was refused!! Are they going to repeat security check again? Just wondering.

if background check was completed before in d previous application I don't think it should take more than 1 month to update that. Otherwise maybe they need more time to check new and added documents u used in the application again. My tot

Nice one bro so with 33 months work experience as an admin assistant plus 1 year Nysc that's 3years 8months work experience right, so with this what's the least score I can get in English exam to be able to qualify for PR. By the way I can read and write french as well, 35years. What's my chances?

Score above average in your english test, your french is a big boost. Open a profile and set the ball rolling

please what's the current cost VSF charges for Open work permit application?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Jimmychuks2018: 1:28pm On Jun 06, 2018
Why is this our group so quiet. Please let's share our timeline's at least. Applied April 19th still on background check. 7weeks and counting.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Bab5: 5:53pm On Jun 06, 2018
This question should be for paper application, which I don't know the price. If you opt for online application, you will pay CAD$335 online, you won't pay at VFS except you opt for their SMS which was N460 as at early April 2018.
I hope this helps.

No cause for alarm. Its system upgrade that changed it. If you remember the processing time as at when you applied, then if your application has exceeded that time then you can send them a message on application update through their CSE form

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Bab5: 3:10pm On Jun 07, 2018
Thank you @ wealth360. It was 12weeks processing time then. I will get favourably response by God's grace (Amen). Our expectations won't be cut short.

Hello Folks,

I don't know if I am in the right forum, just need y'all contribution. I had my Msc here in Regina-Saskatchewan, did coop(intern/IT) with the government of Saskatchewan and was retained. Applied for wife's open work permit with my study permit but also applied for my PGWP after 2weeks because I was long overdue for it, to cut long story short she was denied based financial assets and returning back to home country. Now I have been nominated for PR and she was included as a dependent and I want to reply for her work permit, my question now is do you guys think it's ideal to include her business documents since we already indicated that we will be staying here. Please any suggestion(s)? If I am in the wrong forum...please advise and redirect me as well.

Thanks

If you're the PA for the PR application, your wife does not have to work experience. You can go to https://www.nairaland.com/4472519/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled for your PR application questions.
As regards another OWP application, CIC doesn't frown against having it alongside the PR application but they may not approve it. Read more https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/visitors/dual-intent-applicants.html

I will advise you focus on the PR application.

I'm soo happy.. Passport request mail received today and before my husband could have access to his mail I opened the mail first, I was in class when the email dropped because I always look forward to any email he received. My heart was beating fast and I started crying in class that my professor came to hug because I couldn't hold back my tears of joy.

Please do not give up and keep trying, he has been denied 4 times (rejected twice for study permit and twice for visitor visa) we just gave SOWP (5 attempt) a try and Alhamdulilah it was approved .

Thanks again.

That depends on the VO. If you can, you can pursue PR for the family on the side.
