Congratulations dearie! God is great, cos he has the final say. So, something good could come out from the so called Nairobi demons.

� Kenya VOs. Thank you very much. I guess what you'll need will be your final correspondence letter, passport, your spouse's permit, visa page, biodata page.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Coast2Coast: 10:18pm On Dec 18, 2018
Thanks for insight.
Applied online on 9/12/2018
Upfront medicals passed on 17/12/2018
PPR on 18/12/2018
Dropping passport on 19/12/2018.
Documents submitted are:
Proof of relationship (many wedding pictures and landed properties documents bought together )
My companies documents with Tax clearance
School enrolment documents
I applied for a visit visa for my older son, it was rejected that we should apply for a study permit with medicals.
I intend to submit that tomorrow.
In between, I am a pharmacist and I have started the processes of my Canada Pharmacists registration. The documents were also attached.
Thank you all.

How it all began:
My wife was issued Study Permit in Nigeria on 30/10/2018 with my two years old son. I applied for a visit visa on 31/10/2018 To accompany them and give them all necessary support to settle down. We fixed our proposed journey for the 8/12/2018. The visit visa didn't come. I sent car to London, Lagos will reply. Active review and active processes. When I discovered that it won't come, I accompany them all the same to Istanbul, they proceeded to Canada, I proceeded to New York. While in New York, I applied for SOWP because I already have an outstanding visit visa pending and might be refused for purpose of visit since they left Nigeria as planned. Before I left Nigeria, I sent an email to Canada Visa office if I can apply for SOWP, They gave the go ahead and even sent the VAC office address in New York. I applied immediately. I printed form 1-94 they confirmed my status in the USA and attached it. I am dropping my Passport in the VAC office Moro. I think the Nigeria situations made visa issuance difficult. I have learnt a lot in this journey. To God be the glory. I am writing thing on a phone , Pls pardon any mistakes and lets all use our strategies to achieve our Canada dreams. My Canada dream started this year.
Thanks to all the fora of Nairaland. I researched a lot.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Deenlover: 6:43am On Dec 26, 2018
Good day all!

I am new here. I have gathered some points on SOWP application but there is just one thing I will like to understand.

I am a graduate student in Canada (till 2022) and I am planning to apply for SOWP on behalf of my husband. I believe we have all supporting documents but I am not sure of how to prove strong ties to Nigeria without landed property (as many people on the platform have shown).

Your suggestions will be appreciated.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by wealth360: 2:35pm On Dec 29, 2018
Your immediate family from your side and from your husband's side are also proof to show home ties, registered businesses, landed properties, your husband job can also be used to proof. I hope this helps.

I have received Passport Request on Monday. I have also submitted.
LMIA-Exempt Work Permit Application submitted online in April 2016, Medical call in October. Passport Request in November. I hope this can help everyone figure out how long to wait.
I think the CIC are really flooded with applications. They are working really hard. Patience is the way to go. Just be patient. Thank you all and I wish you goodluck.

Hey bro,
Please I need your advice. Trying to apply for the open work permit by getting a job. Is this the route you went through?
So little info here, please advise.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by jaybaby2017: 9:06am On Dec 31, 2018
Good Morning House and Happy New Year in advance. Please can someone assist me with links to the right forms for application. I want to apply for SOWP and Study permit for my kids (13 and 11yrs respectively). Thanks for your anticipated prompt response. or should I just apply for visitors visa for the kids?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by wilyj(f): 5:30pm On Jan 03, 2019
Some time ago i was here to ask for help on how to go about my application. Unfortunately no one gave me hints or replied my messages and somehow my husband and I managed to submit my application on 25th July 2018. Over time i kept coming back to view peoples comments and activities but I got really discouraged by their experiences of several denials and became faithless towards my own application. But as God will have it, been that He is still God, on 27th November 2018 I was asked to redo a new medical since the previous one i submitted had expired(this medical was from 2017). It took me 2 weeks to do a new medical because i was still in doubt and i had just did a new medical for our PR application which was also ongoing at the time. I dint see the need to waste money, so i sent a mail of the new medical to IRCC(this unfortunately was going to take a longer time to get to them) this made my husband i and have minor issues but i eventually did another medical with the form sent to me and 3 days after, i got another mail that my application has been approved and i should submit my valid passport for stamping. Passport was submitted on 14th December and 31st i collected my passport back. What a way to begin the new year, all thanks to GOD.

It's only a speculation for now, it's not official yet, it's not cancelled yet this is what I heard from immigration lawyers discussion, thay have it on the table for consideration because Canadian are complaining that we are coming in and taking their jobs, that was why they came up with LMIA with high application fee, the next step is to cancel the whole program, I don't have a page or link to show you but people are talking about it.

I'm just making sense on why our processing time is this long, few staffs are working on our work permit application.

Good day everyone. Please I'll like opinion on this. I just got married to my husband here in Nigeria. My husband is Canadian and I am Nigerian. He is planning to sponsor me to Canada as his wife (spousal sponsorship). I just want to know if anyone had a successful application and how long exactly before cic gave them visa? Did anyone had to wait for a year? And also I would like to know what documents were required exactly. I have done change of name and looking forward to getting a new international passport. 
And also I've been denied visiting him before we got married I will therefore like to know if I can apply for visit while the application for spousal sponsorship is ongoing?
