I am applying for SOWP.

I have got my upfront medical done recently.

I intend to add the name of my husband on my passport in the spouse's name column in order to solidify the proof of my marriage along with the marriage certificate i provide.

Now this would change my passport id and when the application is submitted would conflict with my proof of identity given in the upfront medical exam.

Thus my question is would this create any problem or would they not consider this mild change as alarming as i fear.

Plz help its urgent.

As far as i rember whn i did my SOWP application i had to giv the old and the new passport info as i had stamps in my old passport . So if u are providing the old passport info and and explanation letter that wont be a problem!!!

hi there,
They will send you 20 questions booklet, which you need to answer correctly.
They will send this questionnaire in the same e-mail in which they ask for photograph.
It is in the pdf file, so download and edit answer and submit it

Hello

My Employer from India has applied my Canada Visa ( Skilled Category) and also they have applied "OPEN WORK PERMIT " as a seperate application for my dependent wife.
(Note : We both are in India through the entire process and never visited canada before)

Medicals Done prior to submission : 6/1/2015
Both Applications Submitted on : 6/22/2015

I ( Primary applicant ) have been granted W-1 Worker VISA on 07/13/2015 and recieved the STAMPED passport on 07/16/2015. However there is no response on my wife's SOWP. Our employer's Vendor ( VFS) has adviced to wait for one more week to see if it gets processed.


Additional details :
Married since : 2013 December
No Kids
Currently wife is not working and attending Visual Effects and Animation courses( Not through any university but from reputed private institute)
worked between 2010 - 2013 as Process Analyst.
2013 december to 2014 December she was house wife.
We have submitted No Objection Certificate from her Institute that she has paid all the dues and completed her enrolled 6 months course.

I would like to understand if its normal to process dependent visa seperately even if submitted together and primary applicant's visa granted?
Does the delay indicates any negative outcome ?
Thanks in advance for any insight you can put on our situation.
