You should be applying for an OWP if you'd like to joining your husband in Canada. Does he have a job in NOC 0, A or B?

6-8 weeks plus you need written authorization to travel if your spouse is in Canada.

Thank you for your response!! Can you also please shed some light on what the "written authorization" is for travel and the timelines to receive it?

If you aren’t travelling with your spouse, you need written authorization to travel and show your travel is essential. However, if you have a job offer you are fine. Just because you get an approved OWP, your authorization may still be refused.

Based on posts on this forum it takes much longer.

I don't have to submit my bio metrics as I have done it earlier. Do I have to submit my medicals for SOWP though I have already done this as part of PR processing?
