HELLO Gregor.Samsa

CAN you help explaining how to add SOWP to BOWP? How he submit my SOWP with his BOWP? How to do it online? how to do on paper?
My husband is preparing to apply for BOWP since his work permit will expire in June this year.
And paper or online is better? I look to cic processing time. the paper is faster. ( I am not sure why the same application but different processing)

Really appreciate for your input.

Hi

I recommend to start aplicacion online so you can see with forms/documents are requested.

Note you cannot apply before 4 months WP expires.

You need to fill:
IMM5710 x2 (see some BOWP post for details)
IMM5713 spouse authorizing main applicant to apply in his/her behalf
IMM5475 Optional, main applicant authorization to release information to spouse or someone else

Marriage certificate/common-law declaration and adicional proof ofor relationship if needed (better more than less)

Medicals less than 1 year ago
Passport copies (perhaps original Passports if you're not from a his a exempt country, I'm not sure about it)

Photos
Letter of Explanation
Copies of current work permits and AOR.

Paper application are faster know but confirm it before apply.

Fees are WP $155 plus extra BOWP $100 each, total $510

Be sure application forms are correctly filled.
Explanation Letter has to state clearly why are you applying for BOWP/SOWP attaching supporting documents (AOR,WP,....)
