Where does your spouse live? If in India, processing is about 50 weeks.

Hi All,

My husband is in Canada as a worker (NOC A ) since March 22.

I want to apply for SOWP with upfront medical exam.

So, I booked the upfront medical exam with CDC Mumbai but when I went there I got to know from CDC that IME is compulsory and hence they didn't take my exam.
So, to cross check I contacted other centers too. Everyone replied same that as per new circular IME is mandatory.

Has anyone faced similar issue?

There was no official announcement made.

You can do upfront medical and submit [ from personal experience]

Call centers in other cities and try to get an appointment

Hi, I have applied SOWP for my wife who lives in India on 15 September with upfront medicals and biometrics.
On 27th September received an update "you passed the medical exam"
How long does it usually take to process an application after this update?

Applied for sowp from India.
In the submitted application, under optional documents section, it shows that the following is not provided.

Schedule 1 - Application for a Temporary Resident Visa Made Outside Canada (IMM 5257)

Should this be uploaded? Thought ppr will come after work permit approval and don't need to apply for TRV separately.
