TravelRe: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Pickaname: 4:42pm On May 02, 2019
My wife's visa was approved today. I bless God for His grace. I am really excited.

So here is my timeline

Application was submitted on the 28th Feb 2019

Medical examination was done - 5th March (without medical request from IRCC)

Request to do medicals from IRCC - 29th March, 2019 (So I believe this request was sent because I forgot to upload the e-medical info sheet my wife got at the clinic and this probably delayed processing, overall)

Uploaded e-medical info sheet - 29th March 2019
(I got a response that the form has been received and sent to the appropriate office for processing in Nairobi. However, I later got worried because after 3 weeks, result of her medicals wasn't updated. Infact, on April 29th, we got an update on her portal that they didn't receive her medical result. So I had to raise CSE to London office and and a general enquiry where I copied Nairobi).

Medical passed - May 1st 2019.

Biometric Confirmation letter - May 1st, 2019.

Passport Request - May 2nd 2019.

My advice to anyone is to remember to attach your e-medical info sheet to your application before submitting (if you did upfront medicals). Do not go through the stress I went through.

I will put up the docs we used in making a successful application. I hope it helps someone.

Cheers�

Hi guys, good morning. Been following this thread lately and it is helpful. Thanks to you all. I do have a quick question though. I applied for a sowp for my wife on Feb 28th, 2019. Afterwards, we did a medical exam at the designated clinic (IOM) in Lagos, on the 5th March (without an email from CIC). On the 29th of March, they requested that we do a medical exam. Then I realized I ought to have uploaded the e-medical sheet to the webform. I did that and got a response on the 2nd of April that the form had been received and channeled to the appropriate office in Nairobi. Till date, result of her medical has not been updated. I am wondering if we should just wait or perform another medical exam since we were requested to do it not later than 30 days from the request date. Pls, kindly let me know what you think.
