fkl said:No it doesn't affect PR at all. You can certainly try for SOWP again.
Zimprincess said:Thanks, have decided not to apply now as the processing time is Pak is 20 ridiculous weeks. So absolutely no point, by then we are hoping PR has come thru. Such a simple thing to want to be with your spouse, it's a show of inhumanity that the process is so long and difficult.

veritas said:Hi everyone, can anyone please tell me what documents, beside the Letter of Approval I received from CIC, are required upon entry to Canada to receive the work permit? I have a spousal open work permit visa. Will I need to show insurance or proof of funds etc?

Pooja_Kri said:Hello All,
My husband and I have applied for study permit and sowp together. I wanted to check will it impact the processing time? Will we get the approval together or as per the processing time of individual permits? How long it generally takes?
We applied online from Bangalore on Nov 11. Medicals submitted in advanced and have passed status on the CIC website.
Thanks.![]()
fkl said:Both scenarios are possible.
Generally when you apply together, CIC tries to bundle and process application in a single go.
But this is not always possible and in particular with the case of study permits + SOWP since study permits are expected to be processed much faster.
Hence it is also possible that they issue SP sooner and SOWP might come a lot latter if approved.
Unfortunately there is no way to tell which way would it go.
Pooja_Kri said:Thanks, fkl. I applied on 11th Nov with upfront medicals, which were passed on 16th Nov. I haven't heard anything from CIC after that. Normal processing time for SP mentioned on the CIC website is 2 weeks. Should I be worried? Should I write to them?
