If the primary applicant has been granted the visa, the chances of getting the SOWP is almost 90% so long as you provide the required POF, proof of relationship with the primary application, do not misrepresent, demonstrate your work experience, etc.

A successful primary applicant means he/she has already proven to have strong hometies and as a spouse, your stay in Canada is technically tied to the primary applicant. However, I still included some of the hometies my wife used e.g. properties, job in Nigeria, parents/siblings back home etc...

Also, I used my portal.

Hope this helps.

Wow! Thanks a lot for ur input. This was helpful 🙏🏽

question not clear.

If I guess correctly, we have one-year courses in Canada.

Do they have one year program for masters or any related programs... I know UK do have one year masters programs

Good day, everyone. I have a question. When my spouse wants to book upfront medicals via IOM, will he choose a family member or visitor visa on the drop-down menu asking about the type of visa? Also, since he has no UCI yet, will he put "Not applicable" there or fill in my own UCI since he is applying to join me? I am a bit confused. Thank you. Please, I would appreciate an answer.

Congratulations again

Landed a professional job in Calgary, Alberta while outside of Canada with my SOWP - NOC 1.

Does anyone know how easy it is to get PNP in Alberta with his job offer/experience, before my spouse completes her 2-years program starting in Winter/Jan 2024?

Good evening sir/ma'am,
Please my 4 year old boy visiting visa form is asking for employment from and to date even after I have put N/A in there....it's not allowing me to validate.... please what do I do?
Thank you in advance
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by AgEcon: 4:08pm On Oct 10, 2023
Please for the SOWP, the document checklist IMM5914e, did you submit it and how did you fill it. There is a section for live-in caregivers. Do we have to fill it?

Thank you.

Good morning everyone. I’m new here. My study permit was approved recently. My school starts next year fall. I would like to apply for my hubby and two kids while still in nigeria so we can all go together next year. Please I would really appreciate any info on the documents I would need for this application. Plus can my husband use his own account to show pof alone or do I as the main applicant show pof for them? NB My kids are eligible for study permit. Thank you.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Sejworld: 7:05am On Oct 12, 2023
Good morning, please I just got an email now from IRCC that my husband should send my employment letter for his SOWP Extension application. I currently don't have a job (I lost the one I had less than a month ago (contract) bookkeeping job). My husband currently has a permanent job that he will be resuming on Monday (although he will still be on probation for the next 3 months). What documents do you suggest I send for the IRCC request? I have 1 week to respond.

Background story: I finished my studies in Apr, with my study permit expiring on Jul 30, 2023. I applied for a PGWP alongside with SOWP extension for my spouse on the same application and profile.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Raphael010: 1:49pm On Oct 12, 2023

Family migration ? Or visitor or student ?


Plus is it possible to do upfront medicals for spouse ?

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Hastykate: 3:38pm On Oct 12, 2023
Hello bosses in the house pls I have a concern.. i applied for work permit for my hubby in the past he was denied of Canada and US visa but while applying I choose the response that says he was denied and I stated that he was denied Canada visa but didn’t say he was denied US visa. Does it matter? Because I have submitted the application already and I only wrote that he was denied Canada visa. Pls let me know what I can do
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Kurukuru: 6:01pm On Oct 12, 2023
Maybe you filled a wrong form. You do not need an employment letter for open work permit.

No..sometimes you need it for extension. My brother also was in same shoes. He had to get a job to apply to his wife extension. A Noc job to be precise

For your husband to qualify for open work permit on your own pgwp- you must be employed in teer Noc 1,2,3.

Without that - your husband cannot apply for work permit on your pgwp.

Please target to get a skilled job as soon as you can.
