i started filling my application and immediately i received a reminder mail that in there records i was a permanent resident of Canada and reminding me to revoke my pr

yes when i was 13 years i was a pr of Canada sponsored by my father(Canadian citizen) as i didn't meet my pr obligation i didn't get my pr travel document when i applied in 2015 november and they asked me to appeal within 60 days or else i may loose my status.

i didn't go for the appeal because i was getting married so thought to apply for sowp. and then my husband later can sponsor me pr .

and later can he sponsor me pr again. please reply me asap its very urgent ,your suggestions are very important in my current situation

You can still applying for SOWP if your husband has a job under NOC O, A or B

You probably have to revoke your PR status.

If your Canadian Father was born in Canada you could be Canadian citizen

You have nothing to do but wait

I know how stressful is being waiting for CIC processing but it's almost nothing you can do (other than submit a perfect application, all needed or recommended documents and letters of explanations.)

You should check how long SOWP typical processing time at CIC website. If your processing time is much longer uou can try to contact CIC but it won't speed your process.

So just patience and check the email inbox and the spam folder just in case.

You can check your application status under the link below.
I recommend you create an online account linking your paper application

Hello Sir,

I'm a PhD degree holder. I have been offered a job in University Health Network, Toronto. I will be applying for work permit visa, along with my application may I also apply for my wife's Open Work permit visa ?

Submitting both applications (mine and my wife's) once at a time is good or I have to wait until I get work permit visa and then apply for my wife Open work permit visa. Kindly suggest.
