Hello everyone,

Would it be possible to get SOWP without ask for a medical? Friend of mine, who submitted SOWP from outside of Canada without upfront medical, and he got visa approval & PPR without any further ask for medical.

Not Possible. Error if found, it can end up in refusal of visa.

If you are talking about work permit then he should, else on visitor visa he need not medical examination if stay is less than 6 months.

Hi all, my SOWP Application timelines are as follows:

Application Submitted: 24 February 2024
Biometrics Updated: 29 February 2024
(Upfront medical)

Since then, I have not received ANY update. It has been almost 5 months.

Application Status Tracker says:
Biometrics - Completed
Background Verification - In Progress (since 1st March itself..)
Medical exam - not started
Eligibility - not started

Application number series starts with "W3101.."
Spouse is pursuing PhD in Canada, and thus is on Study permit.

Anyone else with similar timeline or file series?

Hi, my wife applied on May 4th, 2024 for SWOP from Pakistan, Biometrics was completed May 10th. She got the first ghost update on July 16th and second ghost update on exact next day, July 17th. My question is about the normal timeline for a complete processing of a SWOP application, and how long it would supposedly take to get the decision?
