Dear All ,

I would like to seek your advice regarding my situation .
My spouse is studying in Canada and I have an approved TRV . Now I am planning to apply for both EE and SOWP .
I need to know is there any contradiction to apply both in the same time ?
Is there any risk to get SOWP rejected in case I would apply for both applications ?
What is the best approach is to apply EE first then the SOWP or vise versa ?
Also , What will better and faster ? applying for SOWP from inside canada or from outside ?

Thanks in advance.

I dont think there are any contradictions. I applied for EE in March, still in pool. Used the same GC Key to apply for SOWP, got approved today

Hi Guys,
I'm an indian citizen currently on a PR . My wife will be joining me on a visitor visa soon. We're planning to apply for inland spousal sponsorship and OWP simultaneously. But i'm confused as to whether my spouse would need her ECA done. She has a bachelors in engineering and currently working in europe. Can anybody who has done OWP and inland spouse sponsorship together help me with the clarification.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am on OWP which is valid till June 20, 2020. I had applied for SOWP(outside canada) for my wife on Sep 17th, without doing an upfront medical exam. Its been 5 weeks now, yet there has not been a request made for medical exam. Should I ask my wife to do a medical exam even before receiving a request from IRCC ? Will that help speeding up the process?
How long will it take for the medical test results to show up on the application?

It's the same for us. I am on a Study Permit. My wife applied on Sep 16 from Nepal. We still haven't received a medical request. The estimated time on the website is still 8 weeks but we are already in week 7. Fingers crossed.

Do let us know if there is any progress!
