    Hello friends, I am applying for a Canada OWP and I would like to sponsor my wife to get an SOWP too. Can my wife's SOWP application take place at the same time as my OWP application? Or must she wait till my OWP has been granted and subsequently apply for her SOWP? Thanks a lot!

    Is SOWP or two OWPs better

    Hi, if a husband and wife are both eligible for OWP in their own right, and the husband can also get the wife an SOWP, is it cheaper to do SOWP or to get two OWPs? If the monetary costs are the same, what about time costs (i.e. how much trouble the application process takes)? Thanks a lot!
