Maybe right now they regard you as representative for you wife so that form is needed. Just print it out, fill and sign it, then scan and upload it.
 
Long delay for dependant Spousal Permit; Applied Extension along principal BOWP
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello,

Checking if any one facing similar issue and what is to be done?

My spouse's Work permit extension (Spousal/Dependant) was submitted 'Online' along with my BOWP (principal applicant) in Aug 1st week.
I received my BOWP letter in two weeks, but my spouses permit extension is still not received.

We tried calling the CIC helpline and each time they say it is in the queue for printing. This has been the same response over the couple times that we called in last three weeks.
One of the agent we spoke today just mentioned that technically the time line is upto 3 months, after they take the request regarding the letter printing to the concerned department.

Not sure how long we need to wait to receive extension letter and the online status stills says 'OPEN'.

Is there any one facing similar issue? Please advice..

Thanks!

Are there any members on this forum who have applied for a BOWP after receiving AOR through CEC and have obtained it successfully since it was launched? Can you folks please enlighten us as some members recently shared their stories of rejection going with the assumption that the AOR qualifies as pass for BOWP.


Guys why when I try to look up the OB 485-A it says it is expired.. does it mean the we can no longer apply for BOWP??? :o
 
Hi guys...
How long time is needed for online BOWP approval at this time??

The online processing time 7 days for a new employer, shown in CIC website, is applied to BOWP also?

So meaning to say you can still apply for BOWP :D
 
I have applied BOWP on 15 September through online system but, there is no update in online status.

Hi Guys,

Do you think it a good idea to have Schedule 1 filled out and submitted as well for BOWP??...

Thank you!

It's not mandatory. I got my first BOWP last year without filling out and submitting this form.

Hi All,

i am applying for BOWP online, during filing the form 5710E, there is a question 2c on page four, which says,

Have you previously applied to enter or remain in Canada?

Should i select YES or NO?

My situation: I have applied for study permit from my back home in 2009, i got study permit of 2 year then i got PGWP of 3 year. My PGWP of 3 year expiring next month.

Please reply ASAP

Thanks in Advance.


I was wondering about the same question.. Should the answer be NO? ::)

Thanks!
