Hi All,

Need some information on SWOP. I had applied for SWOP for my wife on August 23rd and today I got an update and it sys " Medicals Passed" , since we had upfront medicals. Does it mean my files is processing at a decent speed or is it normal to get Updates on medicals in less than 2 weeks. As dome of the fellow mates have posted that there has been no change in the file since day 1 of their application. Please advise.
I had submitted the application on line under "Application made outside Canada"

Thanks in advance.

i finally got refused a ssecond time for my sowp. total of 4 refusals now 2 visitor n 2 sowp. im glad cic has made it clear that ther is no chance i should try ever again. But i wish all the other applicants gudluck

I am so sorry to hear that "Yadav". I don't understand what's wrong with CIC, they don't understand how hard it is to be without family. Hope God gives them so sort of soft corner to understand the pain that everyone is going through without the Family.

Good luck Buddy.

Why was it rejected in past if you dont mind sharing. I'm in a similar situation. 2 Visitor visas declined in Jan-Feb 2016, I have now filed for a SOWP last week. Sep 30, 2014 applicant waiting for a final decision on PR. Spouse was added in Jan 2016.

Hi,

When you applied was it from Canada? and your spouse is already in Canada or back home? I mean did you do the "Application Outside Canada" or "Inland"

Thanks in advance?

I got my spouse's medical result as "passed" around same period ( within 2 weeks from application date) and i am waiting for result (it's 7 weeks now - normal SOWP application processing time shown as 10 weeks (for India - it may vary for your country) ). I think your application is moving at normal pace

Hi there, I've also applied for SOWP on April 28th but no updates yet. But I received medicals of mine and my spouse yesterday regarding my PR application.

How long does it take to receive the passport request after passing medical? We didn't submit upfront medical.

I guess that's a million $ question, but before that we should get two-three emails about, change of status from "Open" - "In-progress", and then "Final Decision" made, and then comes the PPR if I am not wrong as this was the process I had followed for my "Ope Work Permit".

Hope this helps. Good luck!
