I should add that I requested for reconsideration of his visitor's visa that was refused in December and I did not hear from them until today, they sent a second rejection for the visit visa followed by an approval for the open work permit

I am very excited! I wish everyone waiting - favour!

Seriously, it has hard to demonstrate family ties because my husband’s both parents are late and he is an only child, therefore, I was his only direct family. I guess that was why the visit visa was denied twice. We eventually relied on my own family to demonstrate connection to Nigeria.

I wish your family quick success

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Jonaholorun(m): 9:57am On May 07, 2022
If it was a sowp visa that was approved, I thought that doesn't require much demonstration of ties unlike the visit visa.

With Sowp, it's understood that you are going to meet your spouse irrespective of whatever he or she is doing in Canada, also it is a kind of work permit.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by ditha(f): 11:48am On May 07, 2022
I guess you are right but after the visit visa refusal, we decided to submit everything we had. +SOWP is also a TRV therefore, ties to home country is still a requirement

Its PPR time.

I submitted application for SOWP for myself and study for my 2 kids on January 25.

May 5th my SOWP was approved but nothing for the children. On my application it shows background check and eligibility as on going and the final decision is your application is approved. They have also sent the letter that i should send my passport for the visa.

Please what can i do to make the children's application be released on time.
We have all done our medicals.

Congratulations it is indeed worth the celebrations. I will love to ask which country did you apply from? For the childrens visa I will advise that u send your passport for vignette stamping becos you only have 30 days period to do that I know that once that is received by IRCC office the kids own will drop too. It has happened here to someone in the past that they released PPR for two kids and withheld that of the mum and last child but once they received the Passport for the kids the PPR for the other two dropped. It should not be an issue since their application was included in yours. Or are they US citizens?

I can't continue wasting money when no visa officer is evaluating the application.
