Eilenora: You have to submit a proper application with all the required documents. It's easy to get permit extension if you are/were a genuine student and you didn't violate your study permit conditions. They may not ask you to do another medical ( even if yours has expired) if you haven't lived outside Canada for More than six months continuously in the past year |

You need to do a proper application. I have done it and submitted, just wanted to be sure I was on the right track is why I asked. This number she is referring to is IRCC number, u cant get an extension for a permit by calling IRCC Upeople: |

Pls guys does a SOWP holder require a written authorization to fly to Canada? Cos I just spoke to IRCC and they said yes he does and sent me a follow up email to that effect. We don buy ticket already o. Did anyone fly recently with a SOWP? Was an authorization required at the airport? |

Please guys I need your advice. I applied for my study permit while pregnant and it has been approved. The challenge now is that I have given birth and I would like to travel with my child. Do I apply for a study permit for him? Ircc said my application has been concluded so I can’t add him to it, I will need a separate application for him. I will do my first semester starting September online so that I can process his application. Please kindly advice me on how to go about this. My son is 3 months old. Thanks |

Nana3287: Apply for TRV (visit visa) for him |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Nana3287: 4:33am On Aug 24, 2021 |
If I apply for TRV (visit Visa) how do I go about the letter of invitation since I am still in the country. I haven’t travelled yet. |

Nana3287:My son is 1 month old, SP hasn’t traveled (Sept 2021 intake). In the letter of invitation my wife submitted complied: Letter of intent, Letter of Admission, Affidavit of Support, Visa approval Letter, Copy of SP bio-data page, Copy of SP visa stamp, full tuition receipts, GIC. The document were almost similar to Purpose of travel. 2 Likes |

lightswitch007: Thanks for your reply. Ok I will apply for visit visa immediately. Has a decision been made on your sons application. I am also worried about the processing time. As I am hoping to leave October or November at most. |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by lightswitch007: 7:49am On Aug 24, 2021 |
Nana3287:No decision yet, his application was lodged on the 6th of August. My spouse is planning to leave in November too since baby’s application processing time is 74 days. I pray it doesn’t get delayed. It is well |

Hi, You can apply anytime really - along with your SP application, before you leave, or after landing. Since you already got your visa approved congrats and that leaves you with the two later options. The most common option is to apply after landing and receiving your study permit. Note, there is a difference between your visa that is approved and the study permit you will get upon arrival. Whichever of the two options you chose, you will need to think through justifying why your spouse should join you during your study and also make sure to show proof of funding for her in addition to showing funding for your study and living costs. Ideally, one year funding should be adequate but showing much more than that is recommended. For instance, your 40k scholarship will not pay for all your PhD tuition funding (over 3 to 4 years) plus living costs for same period. The more money you can show and the more established you are - enrolled in school, show study permit, show some academic records like first semester transcripts, evidence of work like RA/TA that gives you extra income in addition to your scholarship etc - the better. Best. shams040: 1 Like |

Has anyone had problem signing into their CIC account for checking SOWP status today? That has been my experience for the past 3 hours or more

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Eilenora: 11:48am On Aug 26, 2021 |
please has IRCC requested an applicant here for additional medical information after an upfront medicals? What's that about? My Sis in law just received that email and am confused: Dear Bleep Your immigration medical examination result has been received and in order to complete the assessment additional information is required. Please contact the office of your Panel Physician or any other Panel Physician approved by IRCC, who will need your IME number (indicated above) to access the instructions for the additional tests to be performed. On the following link you will find a list of all the approved Panel Physicians that you may choose to complete your additional tests: |

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by FYsol: 6:23pm On Aug 26, 2021 |
Good news and a flip side. Good news is, she is about to be approved. IRCC will never bother about the medicals of someone who will be rejected eventually. The flip side is, there are some concerns with the medical report. If there are ailments she might need to treat before going for the second test. It will worth it. Eilenora: |

Hi everyone. I applied for my Canadian student permit along with SOWP for my wife in one application. I got my BiL after 24 hours but none came for my wife. Is this a normal process and how long will she get her BIL. Thank you |

Please all, i was given a PHD visa stamp of 13months because of my passport that will expire at that time. My question is will my wife get that same Duration or they will give her 4 years because the normal stay period should be 4 years? |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by fluxyn(m): 1:15pm On Aug 28, 2021 |
I think she should get 4 year. Please did both of you get the biometrics instruction letter together. I paid for family biometric but I only got my instruction letter shams040: |

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by technix: 11:02pm On Aug 29, 2021 |
shams040: Because you are sponsoring (inviting) her, her visa (or at least work permit) cannot go beyong yours. So, it will be the same duration. You can both renew together anytime though. |
