great content thanks
Hi, great video. Thank you.
Can the spouse of a personal support worker with a full-time job submit their file?
If you can answer this, I can book an appointment with you.
Does the main applicant need a full-time job, or is a part-time job sufficient?
Main applicant for PGWP, dependent for OWP.
Can you please tell us. so we can book the appointment with you to process the file?
My wise is about to apply for her pgwp and also i want to apply for SOWP extension…i have not had a job yet…but my wife works full time…will i be refused because i have no offer letter or paystuv
I have extended my work permit last year using the one time policy ircc sent out and my work permit extended for 18 months. My wife also received her pgwp last year but she is not working now. Can i do sowp extension request based on my wife’s pgwp ?
Yes, you can do this but you must make it clear who the PA is.
Hey! Love your content. It is very helpful!! I have one question. I am a student in Canada, and I will be done with school on Jun 30. A completion letter will be issued 10 days after (approx.) According to the video, I can still work on those 10 days before the letter, right?
But that is just the easy part.
My wife has an open work permit, which expires 2025/03/11, one day before her passport expires. She can renew her passport six months before expiring. But the interesting aspect is that her work permit has the remark: "OPEN WORK PERMIT ONLY VALID WHILE SPOUSE IS A FULL-TIME ENROLLED STUDENT AT A DLI." Since I won't be enrolled, she must stop working. Right? That is why we want to apply together, even though the work permit might be granted for the same period of time due to the passport, but at least that remark, I guess, will no longer be valid.
We want to apply together, PGWP and SOWP, on the same application. Do you think that is a good idea? I know a PGWP applicant can work after submitting an application, but what about the SOWP applicant? More specifically, applicant with the restrictions my wife has on her current work permit.
Both of us are currently working on qualified jobs (Warehouse Team Lead - waiting to be done with school to get to Supervisor, meaning I can get a job offer letter---my wife's insurance broker). I am part-time, since I am a student. Previously full-time. She is a full time
I am honestly considering booking your services, guys.

Hello. My wife got her PGWP recently and we wish to apply for my SOWP extension. Like you said in the video, we applied her PGWP first and now we are lost how to apply for my SOWP extension. Could you please make a video about it or any idea about it?
We can do a video but we don't have the time to make it soon. If you need help immediately, please book a consultation with us at mygration.ca/book-a-consultation/
Wanna know that too
The offer needs to be full time or can be part time? Thanks in advance
It can be part or full time!
@@mygrationimmigrationcanada Thank you, the canadian website is very confusing and some consultants say that must be full time others say that just specific NOCs and as you said when you fill the application is not even required. You have to guess to upload the job offer in the optional documents.
Hello my wife is currently a Practical Nursing student in Alberta, and soon will apply for PGWP. Me and our kids are still here in the Philippines. Can she apply us together with her PGWP?

What about a spouse that was not working when she applied for her PGWP,can jhe partner apply for extension of SOWP?
If the PGWP applicant did not have employment when they applied for the PGWP but obtained employment during the processing time of the PGWP, then you can still submit an SOWP application. However, in some rare cases, a PGWP can be delayed. If a PGWP is delayed and they process the SOWP first, you may receive a refusal on the SOWP.
@mygrationimmigrationcanada thanks for your response the spouse just gave birth few weeks ago and she stopped working when she got pregnant, what about that situation
@ziggyappiah7864 Feel free to book a consultation with us for more questions.
Hello so I came to Canada on sowp in February this year but I did an extension in February also and my wife graduated from school in may and applied for PGWP may 20 with my extension still pending and was on implied status but then I got a refusal on my extension on the 24 last month which was just 4 days my wife applied for pgwp online so now I’m out of status but my wife went to flag pole and got her PGWP immediately cos we need to apply for my restoration of status and work permit but she got approved online the same day she went to flagpole so she called IRCC they said it’s okay she can have 2 permits since they both expires the same day so now we have applied for my restoration of status and new work permit online with all the necessary documents but now we just want to know if there could be any problems with all that went down with the whole process plus she also stated while applying for my R.O.S and new Sowp that she went to flagpole to get her pgwp done, could that also be a problem or we need to send a web form
@@taohreid Without knowing more details I can't say with certainty. It's important to understand why your SOWP application was refused in the first place and if you are still eligible for it. The fact that she has 2 PGWPs and that she flagpoled should not affect your SOWP application though.
Does the job have to be full time job?
No, this is not a requirement
Can I include my recent married spouse in my pgwp application for her SOWP?
Especially if she's outside Canada
Yes, as long as you are legally married, there should be no issue.
