Did anybody know why they ask for passport. Is the file approved or rejected.They also sent a letter stating

I would say it is almost approved, unless they discover some problem with your passport. Or in extremely rare cases - if they overlooked something and only discover a problem after getting passport.

Otherwise, passport is asked for stamping visa (W-1) for a worker. You would get a letter of work permit approval along and actual work permit is issued at the port of entry when landing in Canada. However, work permit only allows you to work, it doesn't allow you to enter / exit Canada unless you belong to a visa exempt country.

So for stamping visa they need passport.

Sadly, My SOWP has been rejected. This was the first time I applied for it and not sure about the reasons yet.
Thinking about reapplying. Can anyone please tell me how to proceed further.
