Housewife and SOWP

[PRin2024]

Hi @legalfalcon ,

I tried to search information on this topic but it is limited in this forum. It would be better if you provide your suggestions.

1. when my husband is a pgwp holder, do I need to have a stable career to apply for sowp. I am housewife for 6 years and only worked for less than 2 years before marriage. will I be refused sowp based on this ?

2. In terms of overall immigration EE process, is being a housewife will cause any delay like prolonged security as there are not much personal activity .Is it better to work and build a profile for myself just interms of immigration stand point.

1. SOWP is a open work permit and requires no job offer. It is based on your spouse's visa.

2. It has no impact. To read on how security is done, see https://bit.ly/3apWglN

1. Your husband has to show that he has a job (employment letter and at least 3 paystubs) in NOC A, B or ).
2. No issue.
