You can just write Open, Because you going to apply for Spousal Open Work Permit, and for location or address also open but you can put province where your husband is staying. I brought my wife also same as you from Dubai.

Covering letter is not really important but if you provide proof of funds from your side and your husband side is better. My wife she got her visa within 4 and half months. Yes employer name also open. You need to fill all the work permit forms mad outside Canada, police report, company reference letter, proof of resident of uae, marriage certificate, from your husband side his work permit, visa, proof of employment, bank statement if $10000(better) some payslip or T4 etc.

thanks Ghagen, maybe we have difficulty in proof of funds, both of us we dont have a savings account,
just current account, especcially if they need 10000$ as a proof.. my husband is just new in canada , 5 months.. we spend 7 000$ for his fee for the agency who is recruit him in canada.. Do you think my application for my sowp might be refuse. if I fail to submit a savings bank statement..thanks again

If so tell your husband to make company letter which mention his wages, duty responsibility and position. if you worker in UAE make yours too same as your husband.

Hi Ghagen,

I had just submitted my sowp application thru online last Dec 26 and same day I had received a confirmation that CIC had already received my application. I have just few questions to ask, you mentioned your wife had received her visa also? was it sowp? did she applied via online as well? coz my query is, whether our online application will also land to Canadian embassy in Abu Dhabi for a VO to assess. As what I have read in the thread, Canadian embassy Abu Dhabi seems to take lots of time for processing. :(

thanks in advance for your reply
 
Hello dear all. Wishing you all the very best for your applications...Do anyone have any news/response from CIC about wp application submitted online in NOV 2013???? Its almost 2 months. The Abudhabi embassy website claims 4-6 months processing time. Any update please??????

Hi Maling,
Yes My wife she got her spousal open work permit in Jun 2013. No she applied direct from embassy. Yes if your spouse is in the UAE, Oman, Qatar, and some of gulf country then your spouse work permit process by Canadian embassy Abu-Dhabi.
 
October 2013 applicants... any update guys? :(

thanks Ghagen, its me who is in Oman right now... my husband is currently working in Alberta, Canada and I had applied for SOWP thru online. I was just thinking it will land also in Canadian embassy Abu Dhabi even if I submitted via online.

If so, will there be a chance that we can receive an update within 4-6 months as what is mentioned in their website? As what I can see in the thread, it is still in April 2013 that they are processing... :(
