Hii everyone,
I have some questions about sowp extension. Actually I am on valid study permit which is expiring on Sep 30,2019 and my husband has owp which is expiring on May 3, 2019 but he has visa(passport stamp until Sep 30). Also, I am going to finish my study in April 2019. But I will get PGWP in May. So, how can I apply for the extension of my husband's owp. Can I apply for extension of his owp based on my valid study permit before the expiry of his owp becz during his owp expiring I would have valid study permit of 5 months until Sep 30. I don't know why they issued him owp less than my study permit. Please give me your suggestions regarding this. Thank you in advance.

She can apply separately with a letter of explanation and all docs.

Hello,
I have a question regarding extension of SOWP.

We have selected 'Apply for WP for same employer' in SOWP extension form.
Will it cause any issue?

Below is my background.

1. Applied for my husband's SOWP (first time) in Oct-2018, It was approved in Nov-2018 and valid till 31-Jul-2019. He came to Canada in Feb-2019 and started working from Mar-2019.
2. I received my PGWP in Jun-2019 and valid till Apr-2020
3. Applied for my husband's SOWP (extension) on 29-Jun as I received my 3rd paystub on 28-Jun.

Hi, we are basically in the same situation. My plan is to apply for my wife's OWP extension when I apply for PGWP. I have a job offer, but I won't be able to collect 3 pay slips. Please let me know if they allow you to later submit pay slips as additional documents. Thanks.

Yes you need the 3 pay stubs.

It isn’t really an extension it is a new SOWP. Yes you need to ha e the 3 pay stubs to qualify. If you have not worked long enough to receive the 3 pay stubs you won’t qualify. Some spouses have to stop working until their spouse has a job and the 3 pay stubs. You can flagpole at the border once you have the 3 pay stubs.

Thanks, I'll apply to change her status to visitor and apply a new SOWP once we are eligible. Too much troublesome, but OK, that's the rule.

On 28 june , I have applied mine pgwp and my spouse's owp together along with conditional job letter from my job( noc B job, stating that this job letter is conditional upon recieving the implied status mail from ircc or work permit ).I have started my job on 29 th june and I have uploaded 3 pay stubs after file submission .

Your spouse doesn’t qualify for SOWP until you are working and can include 3 pay stubs.

After 29th june,I am on implied status.So I am working after that,.I have uploaded my pay stubs later in the file too.
