I am planning to apply for the SOWP before december. May I know which is better to apply through a representative or by myself? If by a representative, like lawyer or consultant what will be the minimum fee I should expect? I appreciate your experienced suggestions.

My spouse will be applying from Kerala, India

Hi guys,

I have submitted my OWP renewal (due to new passport) application in September 26th. Still no answer.
It was from Canada, with upfront medical exam.

My current OWP is due to expire in January 1st because of my old passports expiry date.
My wife's study permit is valid until October 2018.

I am starting to worry because I have a scheduled trip to my country on December 15th, returning December 30th.
It is very unlikely that the border officer will let me in with my current visa expiring the next day.

Did anyone experience something similar? Will I have problems returning to Canada if the renewal doesn't get processed in time?

Why didnt you go for Flagpole directly?

Why didnt you go for Flagpole directly?

I'm sorry, I don't know what that means. Would you mind explaining?

 

[salmoncwb]

Why didnt you go for Flagpole directly?

So I researched the term and found a lot of posts here in the forum. Thanks for the info!
This will definitely help me. If the processing takes much longer I will go to the border before my trip.
