Hi All:

I'm a permanent resident of Canada. I have sponsored my wife for PR. She also has a visitor visa to Canada and she is in Canada now.

I have applied for SOWP and provided all documents that they request for (IMM5710, Passport Photo Copy, Letter of Explanation, Medicals).

Could someone tell me what is the processing time for this sorta application ?

Thanks in advance
Hi bala29may

I just submitted my wife's application for Work Permit & PR (inside Canada). I'm a Canadian citizen and she's on a visitor visa living with me in Canada. Have you heard back yet?

Thanks!

Hi all,

My husband is currently working in Saskatchewan as Post Doctoral fellow and i am working in Bangalore.
We are planning to apply for SOWP but when i filed the form for Open work permit it just asked me to upload couple of documents i.e Marriage Certificate,Photo,Passport,Proof of Medical.

I have couple of questions:
1) Where should i upload my husband employment details or any other supporting documents?
2) My US student visa was rejected in May 2018 will it affect my open work permit? rejection.
3)So if i am working will it prove that i have ties to my home country if not? how can i prove as i dont have any property in my name?

Experts Kindly give your suggestions?

Insert your husband's work permit, letter of employment and invitation. I applied for my SOWP and I dind't insert any additional documents. Now I am afraid that my application will be refused or delayed because I only attached the mandatory documents.
