Congrats! just a quick question. How did you apply for your spouse's OWP at the same time with your PGWP? I mean you didn't include your employment letter along with 3 pay slips, right?
I did not but I did leave Canada and did one year of my program outside the country (online)
No. I didn't include any employment letter or pay slips.
Applying for dependents is simple through MyCIC.
Thank your for the respond. Yes, I have applied for my study permit extension and spouse's OPW extension at the same time through my profile before. But according to CIC website, when holding PGWP, in order to extend your spouse's OWP, you need to include your employment letter and 3 pay slips. That is why I wondered how you did both application at the same time.
When applying for SOWP extension together with PGWP application, there’s no need for PA’s employment letter and/or payslip. However, when applying for SOWP after PA got PGWP, payslip is mandatory. I applied for my PGWP together with my wife’s SOWP extension and my son’s change of status from study to visitor. All got approved even though I did not include payslips.
