Hello Everyone,
I hope you all are doing great.
I had a quick question about SOWP and was hoping to get some feedback on that.

My spouse is already working there in Canada under his PGWP(Post Graduate Work Permit). As his work permit nears the expiration date in like an year from now, he plans on renewing it sometime soon.

Question I had was like:
Would it possible for my Spouse to apply for his work permit renewal and at the same time attach our SOWP application with his PGPW renewal application?

If Yes, would it affect the overall processing time of the combined application?

If No, should he first apply for his PGPW renewal and then later after getting his PGPW renewed we initiate a new SOWP application.

Any answers to this would be a great help.

Thanks.

How is he renewing a PGWP? When it expires, you stop working. It is only given once. Will he have a job offer and applying for a LMIA? Will he have applied for PR and received an ITA?

You can apply for SOWP at the same time as renewal as long as he is in a NOC A, B or 0 job. He must include employment letter and at least 4 pay stubs. His renewal should not changed the processing time but yours may take longer.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your reply. I have one more query ..if you can help me with it..

Do we need to mention in our SOWP application that he has applied for his PGWP extension?
Or
In PGWP extension application, should we mention that we have also applied for SOWP?

Regards
