Dear all
Hope everyone is fine.

My wife is going to apply student visa for September intake. I want to join her to Canada. as I want to apply spouse open work permit. INSIDE CANADA OR OUTSIDE CANADA.
Note : I am holding visitor visa.

Please reply to my questions :

1) is it better to apply sowp together with my wife application out side Canada

2) is it better to apply my sowp inside Canada ( change of status from visitor to sowp)

3) what are the chances of approval
Inside / outside

4) is it better to apply with currently working status or with work experience

Applying Outside Canada : working Status
Applying Inside Canada : work experience/ currently working

5) can father in law sponcer me and my wife.
Wife : student visa
Me : sowp

Please share your experience guys

Thank you

What you have mentioned has nothing to do with "Family sponsorship".

You should post your question in the "International Students" section of the forum.

I don't think there is an INSIDE or OUTSIDE Canada for student's spouse's visa.

All you've read in this section is about Canadians and PR of Canada to sponsor their families to become PRs.

Dear Habeeb,
I hope you are doing well. Please advise what route you have chosen in your SOWP. Did you apply your SOWP inside the Canada while you were on Visitor visa?

Hi,
I applied inland application, and it was approved. I think it’s better to change your status inside. If you have any question just message me

thank you

Hello, I believe the processing time must have changed since when you applied. But can you tell how long it took for your inland application ?
I applied in same situation for my spouse, its been 3 months still waiting.
