Congrats Riyas,

Look like Delhi is flooded with lots of applications, probably that's the reason online applications are taking so long.

Thanks everyone....

This is my second application. First time I applied when I was on my study permit and was rejected.

This time thankfully it went through.

One other thing I have noticed is that even though I submitted a copy of my initial work permit which was issued for 1 year ( this was later updated to 3 years ) they actually issued the SOWP for 3 years.

Insufficient funds , which didn't make any sense to me because they asked for 10,000 dollars and I showed 14,000 plus.

Also property documents.

do we need to show fund of CAD10,000 if we have a job ??
No funds required if you work in NOC O A OR B...

Just your pay stubs and if you filed a tax then attach t4 in case... Job offer letter... with job description. That's all u need. : )
