Can anyone tell me how to use the application tracker. I am not even able to create the account. It is saying Incorrect or invalid information. Review and make sure it matches the information submitted on the Use of a Representative [IMM 5476] form or the Authority to Release Personal Information to a Designated Individual [IMM 5475] form. If you can’t create an account, it may be because your client’s application is not in our system yet. Even though the application and Id number is correct.

Applied for my Husband's OWP on May 9th.

Processing is about 27 weeks from India. Did you show funds for 2 people plus paid tuition? How long is program?
Yes ,I have showed my funds while filing my SOWP and my spouse funds ( PF account and deposits) & CA report on his name. He falls under NOC 1.I have also uploaded my enrollment letter. My Masters is of 2 years. Do they have the same processing times for everyone applying at this time or it depends on individual profile?

Joins the queue like everyone else. Should have applied together and not separately. His NOC is not relevant. His approval is based on funds to pay for living expenses and tuition, your enrolment and his ties to return.

Our consultant in India while processing my study permit said it would be advisable to apply separately as they now require your enrollment letter without which you cant apply for SOWP. Funds we have shown for him for his stay and also we have shown consent letter from my brother who is a Canadian citizen that he wish to sponsor his sisters that is me and my husbands stay in Canada. Apart from that we have shown funds to support my living expenses and his own for 1 year. I have already paid up my 1 year fees prior applying study permit.

What is a consent letter? No such things as brother’s sponsorship so not sure of purpose. Your agent misled you but all your spouse can do now is wait.

It’s not a sponsorship letter it’s just a consent letter where my brother mentioned that his brother in law and sister would stay with him during the transition period . That’s an additional document we added.

Ok. It doesn’t strengthen or add to the application as you are already there so no need for transition. If processing is 6-8 months then you should be well settled by then and he would be living with you.
