hello Everyone,
Just wanted to give an update,
I had applied SOWP earlier on oct 02 and had received rejection on Nov 11 based on that my spouse doesnt meet section 186 of the regulation and that we had not submitted the additional documents they had asked for ( relationship questionnaire), it waqs an online application, however we had submitted the documents.
we reapplied paper application this time on Nov 27 and received the passport back on dec 18 with the visa...
My job category falls under NOC A and have been in canada since 5 years... and visa is valid until oct 2015
the documents submitted included the forms, my pay stub, copy of savings account, job letter station NOC A clearly, lease aggrement, wedding pictures, copy of work permit and cover letter clearly stating job NOC A category..
All documents were the same as I had submitted in online application..
and this is a myth that you do not receive rejection after medical, my spouse received rejection after the medical request..
Also to answer that if the embassy is on vacation, not true..... because they only have 3 vacation days 25, 26 and jan 1 other than these days office is open, however some staff might be on vacation but embassy is definitely open.
good luck everyone!
