I'm in the same situation. My visitor visa expires at the beginning of October, work permit (SOWP) in process since first week of April). Not sure when to apply for extension of my visitor visa...

Really? What will my status be after my current visitor visa expires and until I hear back about extension? Could I be deported (or have any other issues) during this time?

I applied first at the border (POE, Toronto airport) but the border officer refused to issue me SOWP. I had travel exemption letter from the embassy and the officer said that I was allowed to enter Canada to be with my husband and not to work. But that I should apply online - which I did, the...

Quick question - I'm in Canada on a visitor visa (valid for 6 months, expiring at the beginning of October). I submitted my SOWP application as soon as I arrived at the start of April (could not be issued at POE so applied online). No update since, it's coming to 5 months. How much longer...

I applied from within Canada in first week of April 2020. No update.

I applied first week of April, inland application. No news so far.

I mean that I landed in Canada (joined my husband who is here on a closed visa) and two days after applied for my Spousal Open Work Permit (first week of April this year).

Hi, where can you see that? Do you have a link? Thank you!

Hi guys, Has anyone applied for SOWP online in the last 3-4 months and got it approved recently? I applied from within Canada in first week of April, was waiting for biometrics - which has now been waived - and still nothing... Anyone here in a similar situation?

Hi everyone, I wanted to see if anyone could help me answer a couple of questions. My husband is in Canada on a temporary 1-year closed work permit (employer specific). His work wish to keep him on (on a permanent full -time basis) and would be willing to help him with OINP. OINP information...

Thanks scylla for your reply. Regarding the WHV program being closed, is there a link I can monitor to see when this changes?

Hi guys, Any advice or help would be much appreciated! Background: I am currently in Canada (waiting for my SOWP that has been delayed due to no biometrics) and my husband's temporary work permit is ending early 2021 and cannot be extended due to the nature of the permit. We are currently...

On the Government website it says: "All biometrics appointments in Canada are cancelled until further notice. Even though some Service Canada offices may be open with limited services, biometrics collection services are currently still unavailable. Do not visit a Service Canada office to give...

I travelled to Canada during this pandemic. My husband is a Temporary skilled worker here and I was stuck in the UK. I contacted the Canadian Embassy to get a Travel Exemption letter, however, if I had it all over again, I wouldn't have travelled. In the UK I was able to work and earn money...

Hi, You only need the transcript and evaluation of your "highest" degree. So that would be your masters. I was wondering the same when I was applying and was advised by an immigration advisor that only my Masters was needed to be evaluated.
