You applied yourself?? Or through lawyer?
Myself. Besides the fact that I hate to pay layers, we have a long history of visiting/working in many countries.
It is my 3rd WP in Canada. Waiting for my PR ...

Got it :) Then, unless you made a mistake in questionary, you will have to provide meds.
Assuming that you apply at the end of January, your old med will only be valid for few more weeks, which most likely will not be enough considering 8-10 weeks of "typical" IRCC processing time.

Possible options

1. Send old meds and hope some magic will happen.
Potentially, you might save some money, 200-300$,
but there is a high chance that IRCC will send a request letter for fresh meds.
Then it is a hassle - making a appointment, waiting, passing meds,
perhaps sending explanation letter to IRCC with your upcoming med check dates.
In worst case scenario, you application can be refused if it gets to a brutal officer.

2. Do your new meds to make sure your application is solid before submitting it.
I would personally go with this option. Better safe than sorry.

3. Talk to immigration lawyer. Maybe you can visit a lawyer from your school to save $$$
In this case, you can go over the "week" spots in questionary to see if there is a chance
to avoid raising med field.
Thank you for your response. I will probably go with the meds before applying to be sure.

Hi everyone, need some help here. So I am going to apply for SOWP from outside Canada basis on my wife who is in Canada already. We also have a 3 year old kid. Which category will she fall into and how much funds should i ideally show when I also have my daughter accompanying.

Additionally I have travelled to UK back in 2008 from my previous company, but silly me, my passport expired and then I renewed it and torn away my last passport without realizing if this could be important in the future. Now i am confused if I should disclose my travel to UK or No because i have nothing to prove that now.

It will be really great if someone can provide some professional advice and list down the documents that will be required for me and my spouse in applying SOWP.

Thank you so much in advance

Applied: WP extension on 22 November 2019 paper application but no response at all.

Ihave just been informed by my employer that my had been referred for further review on 20th February 2020 to Ottawa. But no communication by either Immigration office yet.

Does anyone know why did this happen. How long would it take. Did anyone face this situation before?
