Later, When you have a free time, could you please give me the details of the list of all documents you both submitted for the application?
To be honest, I don’t remember what kind of docs he uploaded. From my side I have provided the enrollment letter, lease agreement, my Study Permit, my passport and bank statement

Thank you for the advise. But I am worrying about another thing now,

My wife work permit will expire on March 2018, only 5 more months remaining now.

Usually CIC says apply before 6 month of the validity of spouse OWP. I applied on 27-May-2017 , almost 10 months before the expiry of my spouse OWP expiry date.

My wife work permit will expire on March 2018, only 5 more months remaining now.

It can affect my application now?
Hey..if you have applied before 6 months time period you are fine. Just dont worry and wait calmly. We were in a same scenario last year and its very hard time. Just be patient.
Thanks
Gur

Dear Gur,

Thank you so much for your message.

But my wife's OWP is going to expire on March 2018 , so even my application will get approved then I will get the permit only up to March 2018. Like same up to her OWP expiry date.

So then she will apply for to extend her stay - BOWP In such a case what I have to do next?

Thanks & Best Regards

Hi Charan,

Thanks & Best Regards
