Thank you! But my question is do you know how long does it take to get the decision after submitting requested documents. Because its already 117 days after applying that.

No, I don't know. If you check for processing time, then it is showing its approximately 117 days but if your application is incomplete then it can take more time as well.

I think they only need 3 paystubs I am not getting why they have asked you for 5 paystubs. Though it totally depends on the officer who is reviewing our file. A friend of mine got his wife's OWP based on only 2 paystubs.
I have also just applied last week for my husband's OWP and I uploaded 2 payslips only as at that time I was having only 2 with an employment letter.

Wish you good luck!

Hi everyone! Can I ask help on understanding my OWP. My wife is currently on SP and I'm on OWP. Our permit will August 31, 2020. I have NOC C job right now, and when my wife studies finish, she will have NOC C PGWP. What's the best thing that we will do before our permit will expire and to continue my OWP thereafter? File my OWP extension together with my wife's PGWP or I will extend my OWP separately? Thanks in advance for the advice.

Hi,
If you are on spousal work permit/dependent you can not extend your work permit by yourself. To extend your work permit, your wife should have NOC 0, A or B job with at least 3 paystubs.

Thanks for the reply. Does that mean we can only apply for a visitor visa ( our child) when my wife will apply for her PGWP next year since her job is NOC C?

If your wife does not have NOC 0, A or B job then all of her dependents can apply for visitor visa including you but after that, you can not work anymore so try to get NOC B job.

You would need to apply to change your status to visitor. Apply a few weeks before your current permit expires.

Thank you for reply canuck. Just in case I am in a visitor visit and my husband has a job can I re-apply for OWP? should I do that under his Visa or apply separately?

If he gets a skilled job and 3 payslips, you can apply for an OWP.

Hi
I have received my PGWP. I currently hold a 6-month NOC A job and have 3 pay slips. However, my contract will end at the end of July.

Considering that the processing time for spousal OPW is 3-4 months, there is a possibility that at the time the officer is making the decision, I will have completed my contract.

My question is:
Is it required to have a job at the time that the officer is reviewing the application? Or, I can apply now that I have all the requirements....?

Thanks for your help
