Hey , its a good sign . keep praying , given your file has been opened after reconsideration and they sent you the medical request , they are checking your eligibility which means your file is going forward(however chances of getting SOWP are usually 50-50 because they scrutinze the SOWP application a little harder than other work visas ) you have a high chance of approval right now , good luck

Hi Guys, I'm planning to apply for SOWP for my wife. She received a job offer letter from an employer in London, United Kingdom as a staff nurse. I'm wondering if I should include the offer letter as one of the proofs that she will be leaving Canada after or during the duration of her SOWP. Will that make our case stronger? Please help.

It won’t affect your application ,be cautious whatever you will file should be accurate and right . Sometimes excess number of documents also become the reason of rejection .

Thank you Sujeet. Does it mean it will not make my case stronger? so better not to include it?

Hey guys, have a question and cannot find a clear answer... My visitor record will expire on October 15th and I am waiting for SOWP (not sure whether I get it in time...). Should I extend my visitor record? Or the fact that I applied for SOWP gives me an implied status?
