hi sarkris12

read your post about applying WITHIN CANADA WHILE YOUR SPOUSE is in INDIA.

our representative actually advised my CLP to apply me (SOWP) and my son (TRV)
using his MYCIC account to make it as an IN CANADA APPLICATION.

what are the chances of this? is this the same process you made? hope to hear from you soon. thank you
Bro, i am going to apply my spouse OWP within a week, but i have a doubt about submitting online documents. There will be a attachment option to submit forms, passport copy, picture or additional letter. But how we can submit proof of marriage(pictures, emails, online chatting etc). As you said that make one PDF file for all documents, but it will be way big file and attaching pictures emails and other stuff doesn't look appropriate in this one PDF doc. Is there a separate option to submit these proofs or what else you suggest?

For SOWP we are going with upfront medicals so while answering the CIC question for medical stating that whether medical has been done or not in last 12 months should be YES or NO.

If YES it ask me the proof of medical , so as a proof I should attach the medical in that space?

Thanks

Hi Everyone

My spouse got an email on 9th December 2015 stating a final decision has been made on his file and passport is required for the completion. He submitted it on the same day and opted to pick up the passport. It's been 7 working days but no response online tracking says being process at chandigarh visa office. There isn't any specific time for the process on website. It will be great if anyone can advise what to do.

Regards
Vagaur

Hi Baljas

Your work permit duration can be a trouble. As visa processing takes minimum 2 months and after those 2 months you should be having a valid visa for 6 months which is 8 months in total so the best way would be apply SOWP within a week or so and apply it via delhi embassy but if your wife is Punjab Haryana or Himachal Resident than I am really sorry but Chandigarh Embassy Processing time is 4 Months which won't be good for your visa application. With immigration you can never predict anything so I will say hope for the best and prepare for the worst. I will pray that you guys get the visa.

Good Luck

My wife just went to canada on a study permit for her PG for two years along with my 14 month old daughter.
I am into my own business of imports of recyclable metal scraps here which I can even look around for in canada but now my daughter is not able to cope up with out the parents we'll there so my wife wants me to seek my possibilities of getting a SWOP and try to stay in canada for the time being till she settles our daughter well into day care.
Can you please help me as should I apply the work permit right here in my home country or should the application for SWOP be placed Once I am in canada??
Your responses are highly awaited and thnks well in advance.

If your job is skilled (NOC 0, A, B) then you are qualified to sponsor your dependants to come to Canada.

Hi Everyone

I just want to share my case of SOWP. I applied for my spouse SOWP on the basis of my PNP I have NOC C job and post grad work permit. My spouse got rejection within a month stating reason Spouse NOC which was an error( as the rules got changed after the rejection on 9th november). I sent an email to program manager at New Delhi in India and we received an email for passport request they have changed the status to open. So guys never lose hope it was our 3rd time that we applied for SOWP and this time we got it approved after the rejection.
Timeline

Applied online : 7th october 2015
Medical Passed : 10th October 2015
Rejection : 4th November ( Reason was error in law )
Sent email for reconsideration : 13th November program manager Delhi India ( Ms. Shannon Fraser )
Got file reopen : 9th Dec
Passport request : 9th Dec
Passport Submit : 9th Dec
Passport dispatched : 6th Jan
Online update : Approved 6th Jan
Passport Received : 7th Jan



This discussion group has helped me a lot.Thanks for the support and your views.

Okay Guy, Have a quick question here. Applied SOWP on 2nd December ,2015 online and got the medical request on 4th January. At the same time, got the reassessment medical request for Submitted PR application on 7th January. Both medical request has separate IME number. Should do both medical or just one medical is enough and will be linked to both.? Suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
My wife has cleared her medical exam and soon will be heading to Canada based on a Spouse Open Work Permit. I live in Edmonton and was wondering that if her first port of entry is Edmonton, will she be issued the work permit there or will she have to go through Toronto or Montreal? Please help. Thanks.
