Hello Guys:

I am from Chile and I have recently received an acceptance letter from Simon Fraser University to start a Master´s degree Program in September this year (32 months duration).
I am married and I don´t want to go alone to Canada, so my wife wants to apply for an Open Work Permit.

I wonder if applying online for both permits (study permit and open work) it´s a good idea, because someone told me that other people think it´s better that I receive my study permit first, and then, that my wife should apply for her Open Work Permit while she is an Canada, as a tourist.

My Question is: Is it really a bad Idea applying for both permits Online simultaneously?

(Sorry for my English :D)

Thanks a lot Guys!!

Woww.. Finally after all these months, I found some one like me. Same to same dilemma like yours Mr. GuillermoSCM. But I went ahead and applied for Study permit and Open work permit at the same time on March 8th. I got into Dalhousie University. My wife will be accompanying me. Our Visa status is still processing. Will update you once I know the result. +919000249259

It´s good to know I´m not the Only one, I will take the same risk I think.

I have a question though, what did you uploaded and wrote in the "Purpose of travel" section of your wife´s application??

Thanks a lot!

Hi, I'm on the same boat here. I have applied for my SP and my husband applied for OWP together online. Today I received my medical requesting letter but my husband did not receive yet. Did this happened to you too? what was the results for your spouse OWP?

Did you receive them both on the same day? I was approved for my SP on Friday, but my spouses OWP is still processing. I really don't want to leave without him.

I had the same problem. medical request was late for my husband and then OWP was one week late as I remember. But still we travelled together
