Good evening guys am up with another question o

What is the duration of Spouse permit work application ?

What is the duration of Work permit application

You have to hope for the best cause no one can precisely state the duration, few months ago it was 24weeks in 60days it reduces to 15weeks now it's 19weeks and increasing weekly, no two application is the same, you can have yours faster than the processing week. All the best

@dyce101 I saw that

Right!

The duration varies too. It was 12 weeks some months back and it increased progressively.

But some applications are processed within the time frame and some take longer.

Ps: notice the trend for those who’ve applied in the thread.

Paper application ‘seems’ faster but let’s all hope for the best.

Hello House,
Thanks for all the positive contributions being made on this platform.

I'm applying for SOWP (along with my 1 year old son) and I opt for Online Application but I need some help in filling the questionnaire form.

I don't precisely get how the application would incorporate my son along with mine.

I will need someone who has applied along with dependent child(ren) on ONLINE route to please assist.

Please indicate if I can reach you for this support.

Thanks in anticipation of your response.

@ymin, how much funds did you write was available in the imm forms for spouse and each kid?
Ymin:


Exactly, that was what I suppose but I couldn't secure acceptance in any school for the kid. So I used both my own institution DLI, address and name in place of the child.Then other details of the child can fit in. With this the forms can be fill successfully..

All the best.

I want to apply for Spousal Open Work Permit but my study permit is running out sometime in may 2020. I now to extend my study permit and at the same time apply for the SOWP and also COOP permit. Is it possible to apply for all at the same time as an international student? I will appreciate you guys advise because some folks thinks it's not possible and could send a wrong signal to the Visa official.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by emeify1: 5:10am On Dec 06, 2019

Coop is another word for internship. If coop is a requirement for your course, you need to get a coop permit from immigration to enable you do coop outside school. Your advice on the above subject will be high appreciated. Waiting for one.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Nikkytee: 2:59am On Dec 08, 2019
congratulation, can you please send me a sample of your cover letter for the sowp to my email nikky.ultimate@yahoo.com,thanks
Mayorsmart02:
I congratulate you @Ymin and others so far. This group has been a very helpful one. Started reading from zero till this very page, and I have actually learnt meaningfully from old and new active members, such as Ruth22, KONJI GUY, not his Id though, HOUSE WIFE, IYALODEOFCANADA and co. This is my first time of talking here, but not that new.. I used to be a silent reader, actually! MY REQUEST, I will like you to share that your motivating SOP/LOE with me. I promise not to engage in any form of plagiarism. Just need it as a clue to blend as I will soon start my own application. Thanks. egunjobimayowa@gmail.com is the mail. Thanks



quote author=Ymin post=83807857]Thank you everyone.


Documents Submitted:

All Ircc required forms
Passport and Visa copy for me.
SOP Stating why she needs to be with me in Canada for moral support towards my studies. I stated the purpose which is to go along with me,highlighted financial part ,home ties using our parents and properties.
I actually applied for them 2 weeks after I got my study visa while still in Nigeria,so I wrote the letter in anticipation of approval so we could go together cos I have seen it happening here before,so we had to make it so persuasive kind of.
My admission letter,scholarship offer from my university in Canada.
My employment letters,certificates etc
The SOA used for mine which covers their living expenses for a year like 4k for wifey and 3k each for kids since the scholarship already covers my own expenses. These comprises of fixed deposit funds and current account balances in my account.

We did not submit police report even during my own study visa as well. We did not also submit any family pics of us together cos I heard vfs dont take pics sometimes ago but don't know how true that is. I would have love to add some to prove relationship had it been we use Online application but we did paper.
I could not also secure admission for my son for school in Canada (Above 5 years) while in Nigeria cos they are asking for lease/rental agreement and I am yet to even travel then. For the child that is less than 5 years,we applied for visiting visa while wife is SOWP


Spouse documents:
Employment letter,work ID and training certifications and School certificates
Statement of account,just to show she is earning salary not necessarily with any significant closing balance
Marriage cert,birth cert for her and children
Change of name affidavit and newspaper publication

I think its just the basic documents. Then we trust God for grace and the application was progressing well from eligibility review,medical request(They did not do upfront medical),medical passed,bvl and approval exactly 2 days plus the 14 weeks processing time when we applied in July 26th 2019.

Thanking God for the journey so far and trusting Him for more approvals for these wonderful winning team.

All the best!

Very quiet! Nothing at all.

I wonder if those with older running applications here have reached out to ircc.

I have a hunch ircc is focusing more on student applications right now for winter admissions against January 2020. I stand to be corrected.

@Girllikeme....I replied your mail request.

My Visa was delayed based on home ties, purpose of visit and current employment situation... I believe it's not the end of the road and I wish every other person approval by God's grace

Hello YummyA,

Please can you shed more light on this? How did you conclude on this? Did ircc reach you with that detail? Was it refused? I’m worried mine is in the 12th week already and no update at all. Submitted online too.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by emeify1: 3:30am On Dec 11, 2019
@YummyA, I am sorry to read about yr refusal. It took this long and still got denied, take heart. If u could enumerate on the documents u submitted and yr current employment situation, we could be able to find where u can make improvements. Is your spouse a student or on PGWP? Did u submit a leave letter, what ties, etc. I know u would need some time to absorb the refusal, but when u are ready, drop them here so we can help. all the best.

Good day everyone, please I have a question.

I would be applying for SOWP soon, my husband is currently a student in Canada.

Is it okay to use his Dad (my father in law) as my sponsor considering that his son (my husband) also used him as his sponsor when he applied last year?

Thank you.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by emeify1: 9:36am On Dec 17, 2019
Not sure about this question. But if u are working or have a business, you should be able to show sizable funds even if u want to use him as your sponsor. That's just my thoughts

Thanks for the response. The question is, hope it is safe to use him as a sponsor, considering he stood as a sponsor for his son.

Hello Abbygailz

You can use him as sponsor if he has available the required fund, your application is on a stand alone and the sponsorship comes from relative. It is safe to use him if he has the required fund but non the less you can add your salary account statement if you have a paid employment.

Others could also share their thoughts
