Just state your location. and only the location part is mandatory, and depending on your spouse's qualification choose appropriate designation like " IT Consultant, Developer or something like that depending on qualification.

So for his SOWP, you don't need to mention anything else But location where he will be staying.
like Intended location: Calgary
Intended Occupation: N/A

Hello Members,

I am in a very confusing situation right now. I am a Student here in Canada doing my masters in Engineering. In feb i applied for SOWP online from here in canada while i was re newing my study permit, then CIC helpline told me that i should not apply for my wife OWP here in canada so we withdrew the application and she re applied paper based application with up front medical from pakistan. We made Case specific inq and withdraw our online application and we also got reply that "A note has been added to your application about your decision". Now weird thing happened on her online account she got medical request and we have no idea what to do now as paper application is pending back home while we previously withdraw this online application, if application is withdrawed then why she get medical request? any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
