Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. I did see changes in the criteria for children above 5-6 years from IRCC from last year.
SOWP, ask me anything.

I believe you are waiting for your PGWP and are currently on an implied status. I am in the same boat, the only difference being, I applied the SOWP in Dec 2021. Even I attached the Letter of Employment and Paystubs to let them know I have an NOC 0 job. My only concern is my implied status here as my spouse's Visitor Visa got rejected and I've applied for the GCMS.
Just curious, what is a TRV and why do you need it?
Hi, my husband and I applied together from Egypt (processing office: Ankara). I applied for a study permit (PhD) and he applied for a spousal open work permit. Here is our timeline:
Applications submitted: June 3 2021
No biometrics needed as both have previous biometric record
My study permit letter of introduction: 2 December 2021
I arrived to Canada December 23 2021.
No updates on husband’s SOWP yet. It has now been over 8 months since he submitted his application.
Questions:
1- Would it be better to submit a separate visitor visa application for him? Would that enable him to travel to Canada faster, even if he will be ineligible to work until the work permit arrives?
2- Would it help to submit my study permit as a supplementary document to his application?
3- Is there anything else we can do from our side to expedite his process? It has been unbearable waiting months on end with no updates…. We’ve sent countless email inquiries, only to receive the same “we are processing your application” template responses. Any advice or help from people who’ve been through similar situations would be really appreciated.
Thank you.

my wife and baby got medical request for the SOWP and visitor visa, they submitted medical on 31/01/2022, and doctor sent the medical result to embassy on 04/02/2022
and on 05/02/2022 my baby passed medical and my wife's didn't have any changes, then I sent the webform on 05/02/2022, then my wife's medical status changed to "Medical is under review" on 06/02/2022 .
Nothing has changed in my wife medical status thereafter to today.,
can there be any issue in medical or is it normal timeline?

Hello all,
My spouse is pursuing his graduation in Canada & I have applied for sowp & received my biometrics letter. I have 2 kids, a new born 20 days old & a 5 yr old kid. Should I apply for a separate visa for them or the details submitted in family information would suffice? Also with regard to the current processing time from India , 53 weeks, should I choose to apply for visitor visa?

Hi @mohamedqtr ,
Where are you applying from? I have also applied for sowp & have a query whether I should apply for a separate visa for my 2 kids (5 yrs & 20 days old).
Yes. I'm an upcoming Ph.D. student and will apply for student visa and SOWP together.
Can I apply for SOWP as soon as i get an AOR for my sponsorship application? she is not in Canada.
I applied for a VV last month and got a refusal because they are not convinced she will leave at the end of her visit.

My wife has received PPR today(Feb 25th 2022). The work permit which was used for filing the SOWP is valid till March 11th 2022 only. My employer has already applied for my extension and I have share all the relevant documents of my extension including the job offer letter with the IRCC through the web form but I have not received any acknowledgement from the IRCC that it has been received. I am wondering what will be the validity of the work permit that my wife is gonna get on her passport.
