I am applying for my BOWP and SOWP at the same time.
I am applying both of these online.

It is showing both under only one application in online portal.
I need to upload two IMM5710E forms one for my BOWP and one for my SOWP.
I know that I cannot sign the forms since it is an online application.

I can use my electronic signature at the end for my form.
but how to sign IMM5710E form of my wife?. does it need her signature?

Please help.

fee for my application is (2*155)+(2*100)= $ 510

after the questionnaire it gives you opttion to attach documents for you, and then your wife. No signature is required on IMM5710E . However you need to attach scanned copy of IMM5713E (Family member representative) form with wifes signature on it.

section A 3 wife name and DOB

Hi All,

Need help in below scenarios.

I have applied for BOWP on 23 March 2015, there were two application one is for me and for my wife. while applying online online system took my "Open Work permit holder fees" but not prompted for my wife's "Open Work Permit Holder Fees". Now i have received "request letter" to pay fees and upload document. I did pay fees but I am not able to upload the document as there is no upload button on the page mentioned in request letter.

If someone has come across similar situation please guide me how to notify CIC that i have paid the requested fees.

Thanks in advance.

Seperate applications, but you submit and pay at the same time.
You need to answer the questionnaire and when it asks if you want to submit application for family member you click yes and continue.
At the end of the questionnaire you will get the list of documents required and option to attach each of those documents, photo (photo only for yourself, wont ask photo for wife).
If you want to submit any documents/explanation letter other than those listed then there is a option to upload Explanation/additional docs. Here you attach a single doc or pdf file ( merge all additional docs/letters etc into a single file)

That is required for all applicants who need a Work Permit. So yes, you need to fill it for your wife too.
Also you (main applicant logged into myCic website) need one IMM5713E form [Use of Family Member Representative for online appln] signed by you mentioning your spouse's name and signature, since you are representing your wife for the online application.

after uploading all my documents it does not give me an option to continue(just exit questionnaire) so confused man.
