Any idea of processing time for SOWP applied along with the work permit application of the main applicant?
Is it faster as compared to a standalone SOWP?
Please share your experience or knowledge.

Hi everyone,

I filled up the questionnaire on CIC website and it at the end of it below are the document checklist I got

Application for Work Permit Made Outside of Canada (IMM1295)
Family Information Form (IMM5707)
Passport Instructions
Proof of medical exam Instructions
Digital photo Instructions
Proof of Relationship


I never had the IMM5257_B form at the end of the questionnaire :( . Am I missing something while answering the questions? If I used this reference code, I'd have to apply for the TRV separately :(

Please help me on this.


Thanks
Rahul
