Dear Brother,

From your message i understand that your wife got the medical request on Oct 16 and she has done her medical on Oct 18, Am i right about it?

I believe that first CIC has to approve the medical, it will take around 2 - 4 weeks. (This I understand from other applicant's Timeline)

Secondly, after the medical passed then again 2 - 3 weeks.

Then finally CIC will ask for the Passport Request. So wait patiently and pray to god.

I can understand your situation about waiting, it's is long and frustrated. Because I am facing the same situation like you. I believe most of the people who write in this page are facing the same problem.I applied for SOWP on May 26 - 2017 and still now no update.


I wish you all the best. Good luck.

i apprecite your words friend and i can understand that you obtained more patience then me..
i wish you a good luck for you application.

Hi Everyone,

I am an Indian national, currently in Toronto on a 3 year Post Graduate Work Permit, issued to me in May this year.

I am getting married in India on December 14/2017 and wish to bring my Mrs along on Dec 22/2017.

She already has a visitor visa for Canada( issued 2015) and intend to apply for an Open Work Permit(OWP) soon after she arrives here.

Will there be any concerns at Immigration if we are travelling together?

We will carry a marriage certificate to prove our relationship status, her recently issued Police Clearance Certificate and a return ticket for her(as per her visitor entry visa requirements).I will also have proof of employment/income for the immigration officer's perusal.

Are there any by any additional documents that we may have to carry?/ minimum funds we need to maintain?or any other requirements?

I have had several unsuccessful attempts(dropped calls) in trying to connect with an agent on the CIC toll free #"

My goal is to ensure that she has a comfortable and hassle free move into Canada.

Hope you all can kindly help me with some expert guidance.

Thank you.

Warm regards,

Lovesh Nair

guys! while filling the form for open work permit they ask me about my current employment in Canada. but I am not in Canada. I plan to move there by January. So technically I don't have a job there yet. So what should I write? Should I leave it blank?

Leave it Blank. Only select "OPEN WORK PERMIT".
