SP approved, OWP still pending, both are under the same GCKey. Is that normal?

[sishumfu]

Hi guys,
My husband and I applied under the same GCKey.
I am the main applicant (SP) and he applied for an Open Work Permit.

My application was approved yesterday and I received the biometrics correspondence letter and the passport request letter. However my husband only received the biometrics correspondence letter and nothing else. It has been more than 24 hours now.

Is that normal? Did any of you experience the same thing before? Would they approve my application and reject my husband's?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Yes, it’s normal. Some SOWPs are approved at the same time, some are approved a couple of days or possibly even weeks after. It’s also entirely possible for a SP to be approved and and an SOWP to be refused.

Normal. SOWPs may not be processed with SP, and can be refused. All you can do is wait.

Thank you for your prompt reply.
I really don't understand why they would separate us as he is my sponsor and he will be covering our whole trip expenses including my school fees...

I would also like to mention again that he received the correspondence letter before I did.
10 minutes later, I received the correspondence letter and the passport request at the same time.

So then be patient.

Hello, I am in the process of looking for the best college to study in Canada and I am planning to go with my husband, he is the one who takes care of our finance stuff and the bank statement of the account we will show the proof of funds is under his name, that's where we deposit all of our savings. I just want to know if this can affect the application as I am going to be the SP applicant and he will be the SOWP applicant. I would also like to know if your husband was approved?

Hello, we still didn't get the final decision regarding his file.

Hi, do you have update? This is also my situation now. When is your intake? Thanks

I applied with my wife, she was the main applicant for SP and I applied for OWP.

Our passport request letters arrived with a 24 hour difference but as previously stated, this can take even longer and it is also a possibility that the SP is approved and the OWP is not.

Best thing to do is submit the passport for the person that already received the passport request and keep waiting. Good luck!

Hi, my husband received his passport request letter 10 days after I did. My intake is Fall 2022.

Good luck.
