Hi guys... I see some real good advisors here in this forum!

Firstly I would like to brief you all with my case.
My wife is in canada on a study permit with my 14 month old daughter for next two years for her PG.
I hold a valid visitor visa for canada too.
I am a post graduate in management but have no job experience as since beginning I am into business.
I am a self employed person dealing into imports of recyclable meta scrap for india and neighboring countries which is mainly a brokerage between big mills and scrap yards in various countries. My travel history is great with over 25 trips overseas to all developed developing and under developed ones.

Now I need to apply for SOWP as firstly my daughter is not able to settle down properly in the day care so my wife badly needs me to stay for some time until she finishes her PG, secondly with a SOWP I can well do my trade too from canada as even canada is a source for our supplies.
My question here is should I enter canada and then apply for SOWP or should I apply for the same from my india and then visit canada.
Lastly my wife's aunt is in canada who's a citizen since last 35-40 years and she had actually sponsored my wife's stay n expenses and will happily send any document or letter of sponsorship for my application too. She is well settled and owns property in canada which is just occupied by my wife n her.
Would love to have your valuable response on my situation.
Thanks well in advance.

I have a valid visit visa and i came to canada and then applied from here. My wife is a student too.
it will take 3 months- I applied in September and I should be getting permit in January first week.
I would say you come to canada and then apply. There are few chances of rejection as you are already in canada.

Thanks manoj for responding.
May I know as if you are a professional possessing work experience in India or abroad. In my case I have been into Buisness for last 12 years as I mentioned. This would be a negative point you think?

I took the eligibility test on CIC and it says I am eligible for
1. International mobility program
2. SOWP on the basis of my wife being a student in two year full time PG course.
Now the question is that the list of docs just state four things... The application form, passport copy, proof of relationship with spouse and the digital photograph.
Is that all I mean no financial documents or travel history or supporting letter of purpose n all?
What should I do as I can't afford to have a rejection cause things are getting worse with my 14 month old daughter, she is inconsolable all the time
She wants to be on a video chat with me. I thought it's going to be difficult but this difficulty I never thought about :(
