Hello All! I have been following this thread and find it really helpful. Im hoping that all our spouses will be granted the sowp. Anyways my husband applied for sowp last May 31, and since most of you applied in March yet still waiting, I guess ours will be a lot longer.

I have a question tho, if my husband changes his country of residence, like move from one country to another while on the verge of processing his application, do we have to notify the cic? Cause I know each country has different processing times right? Will this affect his chances of getting refusal? He applied his sowp online.
 
Applied online SOWP - 25th March
Upfront Medical - Yes
Medical Passed - 30th April
Today got Additional documents request - 28th June (Evidence of communication and Wedding Ceremony Pictures)

4 months is average processing time so you are still in the normal processing period. These offices process tons of applications and SOWP are not high priority. Student permits on average have faster processing times because international students are important for the Canadian education system and there is a firm deadline. Getting an SOWP when your spouse is a student is a privilege that not everyone gets granted and in many countries spouses are not granted permission to work while their spouse works/studies. Just be patient and remember posted times are estimates not guarantees. Best of luck!

I believe he has to update his information, using the online tool. There are some specific documents required for some countries and they need to be updated if any change happens along the course of your application.

Hi all,
I applied inland, being sponsored by my spouse. They received my application on March, 8th and email confirming it on April, 6th.
After that I got no updates.
However, today I received great news that my OWP has been approved.

Google CIC web form and you will get a link. Follow the instructions and upload your previous medical. You do not need a new medical. Also, you can write a note as there is a space provided for that.
