Hello everyone,

Does anyone get an update on their SOWP?

My question is there are a couple of articles where applicants who have already applied for SOWP are now applying for a Visitor visa after the new guidelines from IRCC after 7th September, may I ask is that a good idea?

I applied for my wife on 24th August 2021, bio-metric updated, medical done upfront(Not yet updated-Web form raised), No updates so far.

Regards,
Dhrumil.

I am following this policy. I didn't heard any news about acceptance/refusal because policy is announced lately.
We need to wait few more days.
If anybody has any update, plz share it because many people are waiting to apply under this policy.

Same situation now. Did you get your open work permit approved? How long did it take?
