Hey guys, My husband just received the email of approval from CHC-New Delhi (he will get his passport today from VFS). Here is our timeline: Applied (Paper based): 12th May 2014 Additional Documents Requested (Relationship Proofs): 29th May 2014 Additional Documents sent: 2nd June 2014 Medical...

People who applied in April, did you all hear back about your applications? My husband applied in mid-may so wondering how long it takes. he has already received medical 2 weeks ago. Thanks, Pari

It is very risky if you just relay on the Graduate Research Assistantship (Teaching assistantship doesn`t count as normally there are no TA positions over the summer..so not counted as continuous work). I have been rejected in Canadian Experience Class (I already have 2 degrees from Canada) and...

Thats just what I was told. I showed around $6000 in my account as well but my husband showed the rest. I would also assume they count my funding as money I earn since I pay the same taxes as anyone else who is earning $20,000/year does but they have heard they don't really count Graduate...

The lawyer said it would be ideal to show them even when I have scholarship amounting to >$32,000/year. So if you have that money (whether its in your joint account or your/your spouse's parents are providing it), show it. If you don't than I guess you gotta be explicitly say it in your...

Thats exactly what my university lawyer said is in the case of OWP. if you get normal work permit with LMO and job offer, you do not need to to have extensive savings since you are guaranteed to be earning once you get here. But if you are coming on Open Work Permit, its not guaranteed that you...

Yup I am a student and I have been here ~8 years (did my bachelors, master and currently doing PhD). We got married last year so we applied in December 2013 through online application but it got rejected (online application mentions nothing about showing money in bank account or anything hence...

Hi mili, I am in the same boat, I mentioned in my invitation letter as well my husband mentioned in his that its extremely important for him to be here with me as i get through the crucial last two years of my PhD. I also have the same scholarship but we still did show ~$16,000 in our account...

I am unsure of the avg processing time. It says 4months on the website for Work Permits but I am not sure if it would be the same for Open Work Permit since the they both are completely different things. Though my husband got medical in around 3 weeks of submitting the file. My husband did not...

Hey guys, Just wondering is anyone applied for SOWP in May 2014? If so, please post your timeline here, so others get idea of the processing time!! For my husband's SOWP: Applied to: CHC-New Delhi, India Application from: Ahmedabad, India Application Submitted: 12th May 2014 Relationship...

I am sorry i forgot to add in the above list that he also added letter from his parents (but he did not get it notarized). My husband submitted just the CA report which basically shows current value of all the properties/bank accounts he and his parents own. plus his parents letter saying their...

I haven't heard back from Canadian High Commission yet whether he got his permit or not, hopefully my husband gets one soon. We included a lot of documents: From me (i.e. from Canada): Letter from my University Letter from my Supervisor/Department Chair Banks Statments Personal Invitation...

Hey guys, I am a Graduate Student in Canada and my husband applied for his SOWP in December 2013 but it was rejected (The reason was that we applied online based on all the documents asked online and that did not include financial documents, hence rejected.) We again applied in May, this time...

RA was counted when I applied. I know a lot people who got PR in CEC when they applied in May/June last year. Everyone after that was rejected! Thats the problem I do not have 1 year experience from past.... I did my bachelors & masters degrees from here ,and now doing PhD! I did not take...

Hey guys, I went to Immigration seminar at my university last week and turns out RA doesn't count as work for PhD stream any more! Also TA work only counts as work if its continuous (normally at my university its only from Sept to April) for 2/3 yrs! Has anyone noticed this? I was all set to...

If my spouse is back home (India) and I am here in Canada on study permit till 2016, can I directly apply for his Open Work Permit while he is still working in India? Doesn't he have to be here to apply OWP? If you have any experience, please share!

unfortunately, I had the same thing on my GCMS, so doesn't look promising (but dont loose hopes... my lawyer said it totally depends on the case officer)! What they meant to say is you cannot use any work done while in school (or related to your study) to be used as work experience! Though its...

oh ok! I will have 4 yrs of TA hours (280 hours per year) and RA hours ( 760 hours per year) by the time I am eligible, so I guess I don't have to worry about number of hours as long as they consider the TA and RA as work. I did not take break between Masters and PhD. I was rejected in CEC as...

Thank you very much. Since I did my undergrad, masters here and now pursuing PhD, I only have TA/RA experience to use. I have a quick question: They say it has to be 1 year full time work, can I use the TA hours I worked while in my undergrad? I work from Sept 2009-April 2010, thn had break...
