Hey Navpreet, I loved your video and it helped me understand the application process.
After receiving my PGWP I will have to apply for TRV extension as it is valid only until 30th sept, however I might me visiting family in that month so is it possible to apply for TRV outside of Canada? Are there any complications or risks involved? Thank you
You're a life saver thanks, you got a subscriber
Glad it helped
Hey thanks for the help... But the answer for restoring the status of family should be NO. If he or she has a valid swop which has not expired
This is amazing! Great video! Thanks :)
Welcome

Glad it helped!
Informative and helpful video... appreciated...
Could you also provide some insights on managing and uploading checklist docs for this type of application at your earliest convenience!?
Thanks 😊
Hi Parth!
Its best to upload PDFs of the documents of the same category. You can combine these together and upload.
hi there- thanks for the video- but I have a question - so it will be a same process to extend the SOWP within the canada. or forms or it will be somewhat different
Very informative, short and prompt
Glad it helped
Hi Navreet. really helpful video. I am planning to apply for my PGWP from outside Canada after my studies are done this August. Can I apply for my wife's spouse work permit in the same application? Or do I need to be in Canada to do that? Thanks in advance. Keep posting more informative videos.
Thanks, Navreet. This was very helpful.
Thank you 😊
Hello Navreet, and thanks alot for this.
My question is, does the same procedure applies if you are in a common law partner relationship? or better still, how do i ( as an international student with a study permit) invite my common law partner ?
Hi Navireet, thanks for your video! I have a quick question regarding the AOR. I only received an email from IRCC showing the application is received and an application number, but without any attachment. Is it an AOR? Thank you
Hi Navreet, I liked your video. Thank you
Thanks for liking
Great work !! very informative !!
Thanks!
Thank you so much,what questions should I expect at Canada port of entry as I applied as SOWP
Thank you for this detailed video, how do we include children accompanying spouse that are less than 18?
Very well detailed. Thank you
Glad it helped
Thanks for the good job.
Please do i have to wait for my first semester transcript before applying for my spouse or I can apply immediately for my spouse to join me?
May I asked where did you submit your spouse photo? or is not required? as the digital photo field is only for the main applicant
Really informative video.
Need help urgently
My husband has already submitted his extension of study permit and decision is on processing. Now its only one month left for my work permit to expire. I have to apply now. How can i do so before he gets his study permit extension?
Hello,
That was a very informative video. Thank you.
Can you also tell, in which section a person should upload the proof of relationship ?
Such as past photographs, wedding photographs, social media conversations ?
Thank you
For more info, please contact on Instagram
@dheeraj Did you get any response after applying??
Very informative. Thanks
Welcome
Hi Navreet, thanks for breif explanation. I have a question. I'm on SOWP while my wife is a student. At the point when she applies for PGWP after her graduation, should I need to have a job to get my SOWP extended?
Can I apply for spouse visa by myself rather than giving money to consultants? Also confirm how can I show my documents do I need to compile a pdf (marriage photos, video calls, etc) ?
Thanks for amazing content 👍 I really appreciate it.
I have one query, In scenario 2 you have selected yes for "restore status of family member in Canada" 19:19 it will be yes only if spouse work visa is expired otherwise it will be NO right?
Yes
Very nice information
Plz one vlog make on how we same apply for study visa n with spouse visa first time out side Canada . Like from India Pakistan plz and what documents We need n how to apply both same time
hi, thanks for great info. I have a question I am main applicant i got pgwp and now i want to do sowp extension for my spouse so in that case what should be the answer of the question that says Are you accompanying a family member who has status in Canada?
Thank you and it is a good explanation Navreet, For the third scenario I guess the spouse (not the PGWP holder) should log into his/her IRCC account and apply for the extension. At the time he /she applies needs to select his/her spouse (PGWP holder) under a work permit. Please correct me if I am wrong, Thanks
It can be done both ways, but better the Spouse applies yes.
Hi. Nowadays, I dont have to be working within the Noc 0, 1, 2 or 3 to give my husband the right to apply for his OWP, right?
Hi Navreet, informative video 😉 thanks.
I just wanna know, I’m not yet a PR, can we still apply for the SOWP?
Yes you can
Hi Navreet, how long does it take for IRCC to reach a final decision after submitting medical results for spousal open work permit? Please advise. Thank you.
Hi Navreet, your video regarding the SOWP has been really helpful.
I just have one question. Does the employment in Tier 0,1,2 or 3 have to be full-time or can it also be a contract based or probation period(In case of a recent joining)
Your response would be highly appreciated
I think it needs to be full time and you have to get an employment letter

Thanks for the video!
Welcome
It does not give me an option to submit the open work permit application at the end? 😢
Good day and thanks as the video was helpful. Does this mean one cannot apply for a spouse when the study period has elapsed? That is applying for a spouse when you are with the PG work permit?
You can on sp or pgwp
Thank you for a very informative video. I would like to know whether spouse open work permit can be converted to other work permit based on work experience in Canada. Thank you
I dont know about that
Thanks for the video. My spouse and kids sowp extension & kids study permit extension approved today. Due to the passport expiry, kids got approved until Feb 2024 and spouse got approved until Aug 2024. Their passports are under renewal process in BLS. Can I apply further extension immediately after passports received for them to fetch full approval until 2026 i.e. my PGWP validity ?
Hi Navreet, this is really helpful. Do you know how to apply for my daughter's study permit extension? currently, I am on PGWP. hope to get your reply!
Hi Navreet, I just wanna ask if the spouse doesn’t have a job in the meantime what we can put in the current employment fields?
Hey Navreet, How much funds should be shown for sowp extension?
Thanks Navreet. The video was very helpful. In respect to spouse's workpermit, what could be process for a dependent child please ? Thanks again
I have made a video for that as well. Please check
thank you for your video.I want to apply for my pgwp and extend my spouse work permit . is it possible to extend his work permit in my profile at same time or it is better to open his own account?
Hi I want to apply for a Spousal Open Work Permit to join my common law partner that’s already on a study visa in Canada. Do I need to still upload pictures with my own family back in my country to show family ties?
Also I’m currently working remotely for a company in the US(not my country or place of residence) so I’ll be showing POF and explaining that. Do you think this could be a problem? That I’m already working and may not return because it’s remote work? Or the Taxes I may not be paying because of remote work?
Do you also think my partner and I should both show POF?
Thank you in advance for your response
I have a doubt shoud i have to show funds when extending spouse open work permit bcz u didn't mention it ?
Pls mam reply
Nice, informative
Thanks!
Nice detailed explanation, But I have one confusion as I read somewhere that when applying for PGWP you can also apply for SOWP extension in same application and don't need job in TEER 0,1,2,3? Is that true and rule got changed instead of previous job requirement in TEER 0,1,2,3 to submit SOWP extension?
Any update regarding the same you have bro??
Any update regarding that??
Hi Navreet,
Your video is valuable to me.
My wife is an international student in canada and she want me to join her in canada. Can she use her own IRCC portal to apply open work permit on my behalf? or should i need to create my own IRCC account to do the application myself?
Thank you
hi Navreet thanks for very informative videos... I am arrived last February 2023 here in Canada ... could you create a video how to bring my wife and 3 kids as open work permit & student permit ..as extension of my work permit. (and who will be the one to apply, my wife or me? ) thanks so much...
Do you have to show proof of funds for this application?
Hi Navreet
Just saw your video...its really helpful
My question is
I am in Canada on a student work permit and i want my wife to come on. a open work permit along with my son
So does the account opening part at ircc website will change ??
Hi Navreet,
Good day. Your video is very helpful. I have a question, my wife already applied for pgwp, she needs 3 paystub before we can apply for our extension. I (spouse) will be extending/applying for owp and my two children are applying for dependent student permit. In my case, who needs to make the application? my wife since she is the pgwp and principal applicant or we need to make separate application? and how to do it?
Hello, My study permit expires on 31st March 2024 but my final term ends on 26th April 2024. For how long should I apply my study permit extension? I already paid my full course fee. Can I show the full course amount under financial section? And do i have to show my current financial document or previous one will work?
Navreet can you help please ? I want to check on the wait time for the 1st case that you explained.
Very Helpful
In the first part of the video for open spouse permit, actually for the questionnaire that says whether the applicant is going to accompany any family member, I feel that it should be 'YES' right because the applicant is going to accompany his /her spouse in Canada who is either on study or pgwp?
Correct me if I am wrong
You can select yes
Yes! It should be a 'yes'
Hey Navreet, Thanks for video, I have a small doubt, is it still a requirement to have a Tier 0,1,2 job or a full time job to apply for my spouse open work permit extension when I will apply for my PGWP. Thanks in advance.
Hello, Navreet! Thank you for your video. I am applying for my SOWP alone, I already have my PGWP. Shall I use my SOWP's own GCKEY? Is he going to be the main applicant?
I am an international student in Canada. My wife recently arrived in Canada on a visitor visa. Now she wants to apply for an Open work permit. We are from Bangladesh, and before coming here she did not take a medical examination from the designated authority. How she can complete her health check-up in Canada to fulfill the requirements?
Hi, me and my spouse both are present in Canada. My spouse is on work permit and I am at visitor record. Would we follow the same procedure as shown in the video?
Hey dear, i just want to ask you that i have completed my study of 1 year & then i applied for post- graduate work permit by following your video. Actually, i am married and my husband is in canada.

So, is there any option that i can add on the things in mine application for my husband ( family member things u told in this video) . Am i able to change that family member Question so that i can add on my husband’s detail also.
Hi, I have a quick question. I am about to submit my spouse's open work permit extension and I am planning to use my GCkey Account. Should I include a Use of Representative Form since I am using my account? By the way, my PGWP is already approved.
Hi Navreet...thanks so much for your video. Quick question: with the new rules starting Jan 30, 2023, can someone apply for SOWP with a job category in TEER 4?
Yes but you can cehck

Hey @Navreet Vlogs, thanks for the detailed info on Spousal open work permit. I have an account in the new IRCC portal with a valid approved visitor visa & UCI number and planning to apply for my SOWP outside Canada. Now, for SOWP, do I have to create a new account (GCKey website) for my application or can I start my application in IRCC portal. I'm kinda confused about the portal - GC vs IRCC portal, or both are the same? Can you help please.
You can start with same account
thanks for this info🤍, how about if we have children? I am currently here in Canada and planning to apply for an open work permit for my husband with my children. Do I need to make another IRCC account for my kids? individually?
I have another video on Dependent visa
Do we need a full time Job for this or we can apply with part time job

Hi Navreet, Thanks for this video. It was really helpful. I am trying to apply for an extension on my spouse's work permit as I already applied for PGWP last week. I am doing this in his CIC account. Can you help me understand where I put my Teer 3 details? Coz I didn't find any such question. just don't want to make any mistakes here.
Please contact me on Instagram!
In the second scenario, do both student and spouse need to give the new medical test in Canada? I saw medical upfront needed in spouse documents in your video.
Its in case they did not do it before
@@NavreetVlogs Thank you for your prompt reply. You are doing a great Job.
If my husband’s work permit is expiring in September 2024, when do I need to apply for the work permit extension? Form an example 1 month before or 1 week before or etc
Is the process different for someone applying from Canada for a spouse(living in India)?
Hi, my spouse applied for PGWP. He is currently on implied / maintained status. When we have his 3 paystubs, I will apply for the extension of my Open work permit and my child's study permit. My question is, whose GCKey account will we use to apply for my work permit extension? He is the principal applicant and we are his dependents. Do we use his ircc account, or do I use my own ircc account? Thank you.
Thank you!

Hello, thank you so much for your help. In my case, I will be applying for my PGWP. I understand that if my job (already have one) is TEER 0,1,2 or 3 it is ok if is FULL TIME or PART TIME, am I correct?...So, can I apply at the same time for my PGWP and for the extension of my wife´s work permit under my account and in the same application?
Or should I do mine first and my wife´s after?
You can extend both together
