Hello guys,

Need some advice over my application for SOWP.
We recently got married in April.
My wife is working as an Intern (full time) with a big MNC in Canada (NOC skill type B - 2281) with a handsome package, and her internship is ending in August 2019. (started in Jan 2019)
her work permit is valid till 2022 and it's an open work permit.
I am currently in India, employed with a software company and having a good salary and a good bank statement record earned by me only.

My ask is, is there any issue with the job title containing intern though it's a full time as mentioned in her employment letter and also is there any issue with the end date?
P.S.: End date is not mentioned over the employment and job duties letter.

And also i have created an express entry profile with a score of 445, but the cut off is not met yet.
now that's a case of dual intent, will that be an issue for sowp application?

Thanks in advance

I've applied on 10th April and still waiting for the result.

I highly doubt if everyone is getting their results in the said processing times. Did you link the paper application to online?

How did you check the status of your paper based application? Can you please tell me the process stepwise? It's showing as not found for my application. Please help.

Hi,
I am in Canada on Work Permit under NOC 2171 and have got the visitor visa for my husband too. Now we need to apply SOWP for him online under same category outside canada, before he travels to Canada. I have a few doubts regarding his OWP application outside of Canada.
- Do i need to submit a resume/supporting letter listing his technical skills and job responsibilities in previous employment?
- Is it beneficial to get an upfront medical exam done filing the application or medical is not required.
- Is it required to submit any proof stating that he is eligible for the job. If yes, what will be the proof.
My case is similar to yours. I first got a TRV (Visitor) as my husband has a valid work permit.
After receiving my TRV, in about a weeks time I applied for Open Work Permit from India itself. Here are my timelines:
Applied on May 9
PPR: May 13
Now waiting for my passport.
Mine was very quick.

In paper application of Spouse open work permit , Will we receive the final decision sooner after biometrics validity letter or will it take more time??
after receiving Biometrics validity letter how long they took to send you final decision letter? and did your application got approved?
