Hello everyone,

I have applied inland (from Canada) for a Spouse Open Work Permit on June 10th, 2019 with upfront medical exams. I got my visitor visa extension a few months earlier (in the letter of explanation I expressed my motivation in applying for a SOWP). I used my medical exams from the visa extension application that were done less than 1 year ago. I received no messages apart from the submission confirmation.

More than 10 weeks have already passed and I start getting worried because on the CIC website the estimated processing time for a work permit is only 8 weeks.

Anyone applied at this time and got a reply or still waiting for it? Any thoughts why it takes so long?

Thanks in advance!

Please post your question to the Foreign Workers section of the forum.

BTW: Since you mentioned a SOWP, I'm assuming that you are applying for one based on your spouse or partner being a foreign worker / international student. If you are actually asking about the OWP that comes along with inland spousal sponsorship for PR - wait time is four months.

I was asking about SOWP based on my husband's post-graduate work permit. I'll post my question in the other section.
Thanks!
