After getting rejected twice from cic new delhi for TRV- Visitor. My wife applied through an Attorney in Canada for SOWP. We applied Apr 22 2016, the lawyer said we can expect to hear from them by end of May 2016. But they havent got any update for now. We are worried why is it taking longer than her mentioned time. CIC website says processing time in India is 2 months and in Canada its 3 Months.

Has any1 applied recently ?

Help needed.

today i linked my paper application submitted at vfs new delhi to mycic account and got the application number. I did not know we could do that.

I submitted the application on 18th march with upfront medicals. it says we need you your medical information and we sent you this requirement on 20th april. i did not get any mail from cic. is there any way to upload my document online. my online status says we need info from you but there is no place to upload document. Do you some one know how to contact cic through phone so that i can request them to open the upload document link so that i can upload the copy.

Please help.

You dont need to apply for PR to be eligible for SOWP. You can apply for SOWP if you are a student in Canada or a worked with a skilled job.

Hi all, first of all please have a glance at my current status.

I am on a PG work permit in Canada expiring on November 6th and going to apply for an extension next month (early July). I have received my PNP and also applied MY PR application and received the file number. I am working in NOC "A" category. Now the question is I've applied for a Spousal Open Work Permit for my wife who is India right now.

Application applied: April 29th (Online application) (Applied through an Immigration Consultant)
Havn't received anything yet.

Is there anyone out in the same boat?

Cheers
