Hi, my spouse has received an extension of her open work permit and now we have to apply for a TRV extension. There is a question in the questionnaire - "What does your family member want to do in Canada?" Options: 1. Apply for or extend an open work permit 2. Stay as a visitor. I am thinking I select option 1 as it is more apt, but can you share your views? Ideally, the option should say "Work" but there's no such option.

Thanks a lot for the information. I have a query regarding GC key hope you help me out. So the thing is I had GC key when I applied for study permit but when it was about to expire my agent make a new one and extended my study permit. Now I have to apply for work permit so I can I use my former GC key as I don’t have any details about the latter one.
Hi. Yes, you can use your former gckey. All the info you need for your work permit is on your existing study permit so you won’t need the account that was created by the agency.
Thank you mam, this is very helpful. I just have a question on the “do you have a written job offer?” Part, i have job right now does that mean that I should also answer yes, but don’t have a letter from employer. Thank you mam
Hi the information is very useful. I submitted my study permit extension with SOWP extension seeing your video. Now I am trying to submit for PGWP with SOWP extension. I’m in similar situation as you I did two courses in two different college one in conestoga Kitchener and another in seneca Toronto. How do I mention that under the education part in the form. That’s confusing. Please help me with the same. Also when asked for the completion letter and transcripts should I attach both the courses ?
Hi, Luz. Thank you very much for this very informative video. I just have a question. I will be coming to Canada as an IS this September and since IRCC made a new announcement re OWP for IS, my spouse can't come with me (I'm also not taking up Masteral or Doctoral programs). My question is after I graduate, can I still apply a SOWP for my spouse together with my PGWP application even if she's still in the Philippines?
Hi. You have a very interesting question. Ircc hasn’t announced any restrictions for PGWP holders in sponsoring spouses. I would assume that you can apply for your SOWP but it’s better to consult an immigration lawyer or consultant to be sure.
I'm applying for my Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) along with my husband. I have a question regarding the application. My husband has an Open Work Permit valid until March 2025 (got 18 months extension), while my study permit expires on November 30th this year. In the application, there's a question that asks, "Do you want to submit an application for a family member?" Should I answer "YES" or "NO" to this question?
Hello. Your husband’s open work permit should follow your expiry. I wonder why his is longer than yours. You can select “Yes” if you want to include him to your extension. “No” if you want to leave his expiry as is (2025)
Hi Luz thanks for the Video! My condition is also complicated I want to apply OWP of my common law partner with me and I had 1+1 course from different province can you please tell me how did you fill your IMM5710 form? As over there only 1 course column is available. your reply will be a great help to me.
@@jilianabraham5341 Hi. You can apply without a job offer (for the student). However, your owp application might get refused. I know some people who don’t have a job as student who applied together with owp and owp visa got refused. It’s up to you if you want to take that risk.
@@SimplyLuz thanks for the clarification. Do you know if only a job offer letter is ok for a future job (new job) or should we provide the pay stubs as well ?
Where can I check the requirements for employment that affect the SOWP? I am looking on Canada's website without success, everything focuses on the student but not on the spouse. Thanks anyway, this was a lot of help.
@ SimplyLuz can I ask you, I have a part time job in Teer 4 and that’s the job I was doing during my studies can I use same job offer letter and apply for my PGWP and my husband OWP extension and my son study permit? I am on this stage now . Please I need your assistance
@@ihekennenna3113 Hello. When we applied, students needed a job under TEER 0-3 to extend their dependents. This changed last year, but I’m not sure if it’s still in effect. I've also heard of students taking jobs under TEER 0-3 to reduce the risk of their dependents being refused.
actually I also have a question… I applied for study permit extension last month along with spouse work permit extension but it didn’t came and I got my completion letter from college before the expiry of my original study permit… So I visited the ircc online website to cancel the application… I’m confused that should I apply now for pgwp..? Also for my husband as well to apply for his extension again or wait for the cancellation message from ircc for the previous application
Thank you so much for this video!, it was explained perfectly. Question: I will finish the college in April, but I want to renew my passport next week,. The new passport will arrive after I finish the college. Can my spouse still work? Can my daughter still go to the public school? (my husban's work permit and daughter's study permit expire in June).
Hi! Can i start answering the questionnaire even if I'm still studying? And when should I stop working part-time? my last day of class will be on August 16 this year.
my husband is sowp applicant.he is not working .is it important for him to get his sowp extension? i am the only only one working NOC B .we are applying this jan 16 on the day i receive my completion letter.
Ask ko din po pala Ms. Lus about prof of relationship pwede pa rin po ba gamitin yung common law statutory declaration nung nag apply po kmi ng Student permit ? Thank you
Hi! Thanks for another excellent video! My partner finishes his program next year in April 2024. We are renewing our permits now, and on April 2024 he will apply for the PGWP. My question is, if the current renewal is given to us until July 2024, but his classes end in April 2024, does that mean that I, with an OWP as his dependent, should also stop working? Even if my OWP is technically valid until July 2024?. Thanks!!!!!!
Hi luz, Thank you for your wonderful video. I have a situation here. I will be completing my studies on December 31, 2023. And, I am going to apply for PGWP Jan 2024. However, my spouse has an extended SOWP valid until September 2024. Do I also need to apply for the SOWP extension in January 2024? Or could I apply for a SOWP extension later, taking September 2024 into consideration? Please let me know your insights.
Hi ma’am. Nirenew ko po ung passport ko in other country po because I was an ofw before coming here. Alin po country ang pipiliin ko n nag issue ng passport ko? Philippines pa din po b?
Hello Ma’am! Thank you po for the video. May I ask if need po ba talaga na sabay mag apply agad si SP and SOWP? Or okay lang po na si SP muna then once may work na sya pwede na mag apply si SOWP for extension? Thank you po and I appreciate your response 🙏🏽
Hiii We just have 3 months remaining on our visa while my wife completion letter has not arrive yet !!! Once she gets her paper work from the college we will be applying for her PGWP and for me it’s Open work permit same like yours !! But the problem is as you said it took 5 months for you to get the pgwp!!! For us we only have 3 months of visa remaining so in this if it takes more than 3 months to get our decision, will I still be able to work ???? Or can we stay here ???
Hi, thank you so much for your informative video. I am planning to fill the form tomorrow, i used to work on campus and will be working on campus in future too, when I click “Yes” when asked if you will work on campus in future, i didnt get any option for PGWP. Should i click NO even if i am working On campus ?
Hellooo…. Thank you for the video. How was the processing time ? Did it took more time as because it’s 2 applications? Also did you show the proof of funds ?
Hi Ma’am Luz, I have a question po regarding po sa question na Do you plan to work on campus? I am currently working po on campus as a crew member at Tim Hortons. Ano po ang pwede ko answer in that question? Since after kopo sana mag apply for my PGWP mag stay po muna ako as a temporary fulltime until makahanap po ako ibang work off campus. Thank you po and Godbless 🙏
Hi. I am not sure if maconsider na campus ung Tim Hortons. I think separate sya sa school mismo so I will answer no. But I might be wrong. Better consult with your School advisor.
Thank you for such an informative video...As per the current scenario, combined application approval timeline is more than 5 months...so I am planning to apply for my PGWP first and once the same is approved, I am planning to apply to extend the OWP of my wife. But, in such case, do I need to create a separate GCkey account or I can do it using the same GCkey account which we used for filing our study and open work permits? Thanks in advance.
@@SimplyLuz Thank you for your prompt response. Also, can you please tell me in your opinion, which is the best option, apply together for PGWP + SOWP or apply for PGWP first and SOWP later once the PGWP is approved?
Hi, i found this vedio as very useful and i want to ask few query - For spouse do we need to submit passport, digital photo and proof of funds I didn’t saw any space where these can be uploaded. Can you please give me a clarity into this ?
Thank you so much for the information, I have a question if I am currently a Co-op student and want to apply for a PGWP at the end of co-op term. Firstly, Can I continue to work at the company without any break? Second, I just have to say YES in the field "Is your work essential part of your studies"? and Lastly, Can I submit the job offer letter which I received at the start of the coop (Because in my case I received the full time offer at the time of coop)?
I think the "stop working" issue is a different interpretation of rules from different people since there is no law that states that, it makes no sense to have a valid permit until X date and stop working in X-1
Hi, I'm in kind of same situation. I am doing my coop but part time, and this company will provide me a job offer to a full time position... Should I add the employment letter since I'll be employed till the date I apply (Receive my completion letter) and in addition my job offer as well for a full time position in the same company..? How did you manage to do yours? Thank you , I'd appreciate your answer!
Hi, I have this confusion as to after completing studies and while waiting for completion letter, can we get into a job BEFORE WE APPLY for PGWP? And then apply for PGWP when we get the completion letter along with payslips for OWP? Kindly reply. Thanks in advance.
Hi Ms. Luz, I have a spouse but I will not be able to include him yet in my PGWP application as I don't have a job yet. After my application as SOWP and have a job, how can I include him to my application for extension? Thank you.
Hlo mam, i applied for extension of my study permit but its result is pending yet i completed my study and got all document . Can i apply for my pgwp with my spouse?
Hi Ms. Luz, I have a question regarding my application for PGWP. My spouse has already applied for PR including me and our son as dependents, and already received an AOR. Now I am applying for PGWP, but there are these questions that says, "Have you been told by an Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada office that you are approved in principle for permanent residence in Canada?" and "Have you submitted a permanent resident application in Canada?" shall I answer YES to these questions or NO? (Please note that my spouse is the OWP who applied for PR).
Thank you so much for the informative video. I’m working as a customer experience associate (teer 4), and my husband has an open work permit. I’m going to graduate this December. Our visas and permits expire on March 31, 2024. My question is, can we both apply together, or do I have to apply for pgwp first and he applies for OWP extension after? My position is part time, will that qualify? Looking forward to your suggestion.
Hi dear, thank you for informative video. I have a question. Regarding job letter and pay stubs of main applicant. Is it mandatory to show when applying sowp extension. As i got mine pgwp but right know i don't have a job. And i want to apply for my spouse work permit extension and his work permit expires on 31 dec. I am so worried about it. Can you please tell me if my spouse apply his work permit extension without having my job proofs. Will it affect the visa processing. Please reply me
Hi Ms.Luz, thanks for the video, very informative!!! Would like to ask questions about to fill in the form of spouse part, what is your family member's current immigration status in Canada? My husband holds SOWP, but no job, should fill "worker" or "temp resident permit holder"? Does your family member want to restore their status in Canada? May know reason to fill "no"? I am thinking to store the work permit for him. Would like to ask for the letter of the employer, i have the 160 hours placement in 4th semester, I am working as full time from 8/14/23 and the employer will continue to employ me. The letter of completion will be issued in mid of Jan, so from 1/1/24 till the letter of completion, I am still a student, so I can only work 20 hours/week. So I am struggling of how to ask the employer to issue the letter to upload, does HR should write the company employed me from 8/14/2023 as full time employee, then employ me as part-time from 1/1/24 till I receive the confirmation letter of submission of PGWP? Then will contiue to employ me..... it seems quite complicated if ask HR to issue this letter. May have your comments to make it simple and easy?
Dear Luz, thank you for your video, this is very helpful.. I just have a follow up question.. I only worked full time during semester break and I just focused on studying every time the schools starts (i did not do part time whenever i am schooling).

That’s confusing. Please help me with the same. Also when asked for the completion letter and transcripts should I attach both the courses ?
please am i to upload only my digital photo or digital photo of my family?
Hello, if student doesnt have a full time or part time now can i still apply together for pgwp , sowp nd kid visa ?
@@swathi1518 hi. Your kid will be approved but sowp will now be refused if student don’t have full time or part time teer 0-3.
Hi, Luz. Thank you very much for this very informative video. I just have a question. I will be coming to Canada as an IS this September and since IRCC made a new announcement re OWP for IS, my spouse can't come with me (I'm also not taking up Masteral or Doctoral programs). My question is after I graduate, can I still apply a SOWP for my spouse together with my PGWP application even if she's still in the Philippines?
Hi. You have a very interesting question. Ircc hasn’t announced any restrictions for PGWP holders in sponsoring spouses. I would assume that you can apply for your SOWP but it’s better to consult an immigration lawyer or consultant to be sure.
Exactly where can i upload my offer letter and paystubs at last?
I'm applying for my Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) along with my husband. I have a question regarding the application. My husband has an Open Work Permit valid until March 2025 (got 18 months extension), while my study permit expires on November 30th this year. In the application, there's a question that asks, "Do you want to submit an application for a family member?" Should I answer "YES" or "NO" to this question?
Hello. Your husband’s open work permit should follow your expiry. I wonder why his is longer than yours.
You can select “Yes” if you want to include him to your extension. “No” if you want to leave his expiry as is (2025)
Hi Luz thanks for the Video! My condition is also complicated I want to apply OWP of my common law partner with me and I had 1+1 course from different province can you please tell me how did you fill your IMM5710 form? As over there only 1 course column is available. your reply will be a great help to me.
Can’t we apply for PGWP and dependent OWP without a job offer to the student ? What’s the process to apply if the student doesn’t have a job yet ?
@@jilianabraham5341 Hi. You can apply without a job offer (for the student). However, your owp application might get refused. I know some people who don’t have a job as student who applied together with owp and owp visa got refused. It’s up to you if you want to take that risk.
@@SimplyLuz thanks for the clarification. Do you know if only a job offer letter is ok for a future job (new job) or should we provide the pay stubs as well ?
@@jilianabraham5341 hello. I’m sure that the student need paystubs with the job offer.
Where can I check the requirements for employment that affect the SOWP? I am looking on Canada's website without success, everything focuses on the student but not on the spouse. Thanks anyway, this was a lot of help.
@ SimplyLuz can I ask you, I have a part time job in Teer 4 and that’s the job I was doing during my studies can I use same job offer letter and apply for my PGWP and my husband OWP extension and my son study permit?
I am on this stage now . Please I need your assistance
@@ihekennenna3113 Hello. When we applied, students needed a job under TEER 0-3 to extend their dependents. This changed last year, but I’m not sure if it’s still in effect. I've also heard of students taking jobs under TEER 0-3 to reduce the risk of their dependents being refused.
actually I also have a question…
I applied for study permit extension last month along with spouse work permit extension but it didn’t came and I got my completion letter from college before the expiry of my original study permit… So I visited the ircc online website to cancel the application…
I’m confused that should I apply now for pgwp..? Also for my husband as well to apply for his extension again or wait for the cancellation message from ircc for the previous application
Thanks Luz, simple and informative. +1
Thank you 😊
Hi, if I do not have an offer letter I can able to apply and get PGWP or I am not valid to get one for myself and my spouse
Thank you so much for this video!, it was explained perfectly. Question: I will finish the college in April, but I want to renew my passport next week,. The new passport will arrive after I finish the college. Can my spouse still work? Can my daughter still go to the public school? (my husban's work permit and daughter's study permit expire in June).
Hi! Can i start answering the questionnaire even if I'm still studying? And when should I stop working part-time? my last day of class will be on August 16 this year.
my husband is sowp applicant.he is not working .is it important for him to get his sowp extension?
i am the only only one working NOC B .we are applying this jan 16 on the day i receive my completion letter.
Answering PGWP question #internationalstudentscanada
Hi. For the employment records, would it be the records of the student or the OWP?
Great video by the way. Thank you so much for this.

Excellent tutorial!
Thank you! Cheers!
Ask ko din po pala Ms. Lus about prof of relationship pwede pa rin po ba gamitin yung common law statutory declaration nung nag apply po kmi ng Student permit ? Thank you
Hello, does the work letter of the principal applicant need to be with a date after you received the transcript of your studies ?
Hi. Not necessarily but the closer the date to your transcript, the better. I prepared mine a week before my transcript was released.
Hi! Thanks for another excellent video! My partner finishes his program next year in April 2024. We are renewing our permits now, and on April 2024 he will apply for the PGWP. My question is, if the current renewal is given to us until July 2024, but his classes end in April 2024, does that mean that I, with an OWP as his dependent, should also stop working? Even if my OWP is technically valid until July 2024?. Thanks!!!!!!
PGWP question: Should OWP stop working if Student receives Completion letter and TOR?
Hi luz,
Thank you for your wonderful video.
I have a situation here. I will be completing my studies on December 31, 2023. And, I am going to apply for PGWP Jan 2024. However, my spouse has an extended SOWP valid until September 2024. Do I also need to apply for the SOWP extension in January 2024? Or could I apply for a SOWP extension later, taking September 2024 into consideration?
Please let me know your insights.

Hi ma’am. Nirenew ko po ung passport ko in other country po because I was an ofw before coming here. Alin po country ang pipiliin ko n nag issue ng passport ko? Philippines pa din po b?
@@JRJavila hello. I think ung nagissue po talaga na country, ung other country po.
Hello Ma’am! Thank you po for the video. May I ask if need po ba talaga na sabay mag apply agad si SP and SOWP? Or okay lang po na si SP muna then once may work na sya pwede na mag apply si SOWP for extension? Thank you po and I appreciate your response 🙏🏽
PGWP question - Tagalog answer
Hello, mine is the same case with only the difference of Common-law apart from marriage. Would you happen to have any suggestions for the same?
Hiii
We just have 3 months remaining on our visa while my wife completion letter has not arrive yet !!!
Once she gets her paper work from the college we will be applying for her PGWP and for me it’s Open work permit same like yours !! But the problem is as you said it took 5 months for you to get the pgwp!!! For us we only have 3 months of visa remaining so in this if it takes more than 3 months to get our decision, will I still be able to work ???? Or can we stay here ???

Part time or full time job for PGWP application to extend spouse? #internationalstudentscanada
HeyLuz,
Thank you so much for this video.
My question is how much fund do we need to show.
Does is has to be 13757$ or we can show less than that ?

Hi, what if I don’t have OWP but I have a child with me? She’s studying here as Grade 1. How much will I pay and how was the application?
Hi. The application process is the same, you just need to change the relationship to child instead of spouse.
Hello is it need to be full time or part time job for sowp extension?
Hi, thank you so much for your informative video. I am planning to fill the form tomorrow, i used to work on campus and will be working on campus in future too, when I click “Yes” when asked if you will work on campus in future, i didnt get any option for PGWP. Should i click NO even if i am working On campus ?
Hellooo…. Thank you for the video. How was the processing time ? Did it took more time as because it’s 2 applications? Also did you show the proof of funds ?
Hi. Yes we submitted proof of funds. It took 5 months before we received the approval. This information is mentioned in the video.
Hi..just want to ask if the current work is admin in a hospital, do I need to submit medical examination?
@@jaidenoabel hi. If you’re not dealing directly with patients and the public, I don’t think you need a medical exam.
I have a question that I got the extend for my study permit after I applied, but my spouse didn't has it. Is it make sense?
Hi. Do you mean your spouse got the refusal?
Hi Ma’am Luz, I have a question po regarding po sa question na Do you plan to work on campus? I am currently working po on campus as a crew member at Tim Hortons. Ano po ang pwede ko answer in that question? Since after kopo sana mag apply for my PGWP mag stay po muna ako as a temporary fulltime until makahanap po ako ibang work off campus. Thank you po and Godbless 🙏
Hi. I am not sure if maconsider na campus ung Tim Hortons. I think separate sya sa school mismo so I will answer no. But I might be wrong. Better consult with your School advisor.
Thank you for such an informative video...As per the current scenario, combined application approval timeline is more than 5 months...so I am planning to apply for my PGWP first and once the same is approved, I am planning to apply to extend the OWP of my wife. But, in such case, do I need to create a separate GCkey account or I can do it using the same GCkey account which we used for filing our study and open work permits? Thanks in advance.
Hi. You can use the same gckey for all your applications.
@@SimplyLuz Thank you for your prompt response. Also, can you please tell me in your opinion, which is the best option, apply together for PGWP + SOWP or apply for PGWP first and SOWP later once the PGWP is approved?
@@vyshakhharidas3770 i would choose the first option. That’s what we did and it worked out well for us.
@@SimplyLuz Thank you for your response.
@Simply Luz does OWP needs job offer get owp extension with PGWP application ? and does pgwp applicant can apply with teer 4 job offer?
Hi, i found this vedio as very useful and i want to ask few query - For spouse do we need to submit passport, digital photo and proof of funds I didn’t saw any space where these can be uploaded. Can you please give me a clarity into this ?
Thank you so much for the information, I have a question if I am currently a Co-op student and want to apply for a PGWP at the end of co-op term. Firstly, Can I continue to work at the company without any break? Second, I just have to say YES in the field "Is your work essential part of your studies"? and Lastly, Can I submit the job offer letter which I received at the start of the coop (Because in my case I received the full time offer at the time of coop)?
I think the "stop working" issue is a different interpretation of rules from different people since there is no law that states that, it makes no sense to have a valid permit until X date and stop working in X-1
Hi, I'm in kind of same situation. I am doing my coop but part time, and this company will provide me a job offer to a full time position... Should I add the employment letter since I'll be employed till the date I apply (Receive my completion letter) and in addition my job offer as well for a full time position in the same company..? How did you manage to do yours? Thank you , I'd appreciate your answer!
Thank you for the video! can I be working remotly ? to show this as proof of job in canada , so my husband extends his open work permit ?
Hi. Yes, as long as you’re working inside here and your employer is inside Canada as well.
appreciate! @@SimplyLuz
If my husband’s work permit is expiring before my study permit, before how long I should apply for the extend of my husband’s work permit ?
Apply as early as you can.
Hi,
I have this confusion as to after completing studies and while waiting for completion letter, can we get into a job BEFORE WE APPLY for PGWP? And then apply for PGWP when we get the completion letter along with payslips for OWP? Kindly reply. Thanks in advance.
Hi. Yes you can continue working while waiting for your completion letter. Once you received it, you can proceed with applying for your PGWP.
Hi Ms. Luz, I have a spouse but I will not be able to include him yet in my PGWP application as I don't have a job yet. After my application as SOWP and have a job, how can I include him to my application for extension? Thank you.
Hi. He will need to apply on his own SOWP extension.
Ohh. Is it with his own gckey account or is it possible to be in my gckey account?
@@AngeliqueLlorente-xv5dt you can use either account. 🙂
Hlo mam, i applied for extension of my study permit but its result is pending yet i completed my study and got all document . Can i apply for my pgwp with my spouse?
Hi Ms. Luz, I have a question regarding my application for PGWP. My spouse has already applied for PR including me and our son as dependents, and already received an AOR. Now I am applying for PGWP, but there are these questions that says, "Have you been told by an Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada office that you are
approved in principle for permanent residence in Canada?" and "Have you submitted a permanent resident application in Canada?" shall I answer YES to these questions or NO? (Please note that my spouse is the OWP who applied for PR).
Thank you so much for the informative video. I’m working as a customer experience associate (teer 4), and my husband has an open work permit. I’m going to graduate this December. Our visas and permits expire on March 31, 2024.
My question is, can we both apply together, or do I have to apply for pgwp first and he applies for OWP extension after?
My position is part time, will that qualify?
Looking forward to your suggestion.
Hello. Yes, you can apply together and it’s ok if you’re working part time. I was also part time when I applied and we got approved.
@@SimplyLuz thank you so much! This was very helpful 😊
@@nazmunnaharemma5987 you’re welcome 🙂

Hi dear, thank you for informative video. I have a question. Regarding job letter and pay stubs of main applicant. Is it mandatory to show when applying sowp extension. As i got mine pgwp but right know i don't have a job. And i want to apply for my spouse work permit extension and his work permit expires on 31 dec. I am so worried about it. Can you please tell me if my spouse apply his work permit extension without having my job proofs. Will it affect the visa processing. Please reply me
Is it mandatory for SP to have a job to extend SOWP in PGWP application?
hi, did you make a new account for applying pgwp? or did you use the account when you applied for study permit?
Hi. I used the same gckey account.
Hi Ms.Luz, thanks for the video, very informative!!! Would like to ask questions about to fill in the form of spouse part, what is your family member's current immigration status in Canada? My husband holds SOWP, but no job, should fill "worker" or "temp resident permit holder"? Does your family member want to restore their status in Canada? May know reason to fill "no"? I am thinking to store the work permit for him. Would like to ask for the letter of the employer, i have the 160 hours placement in 4th semester, I am working as full time from 8/14/23 and the employer will continue to employ me. The letter of completion will be issued in mid of Jan, so from 1/1/24 till the letter of completion, I am still a student, so I can only work 20 hours/week. So I am struggling of how to ask the employer to issue the letter to upload, does HR should write the company employed me from 8/14/2023 as full time employee, then employ me as part-time from 1/1/24 till I receive the confirmation letter of submission of PGWP? Then will contiue to employ me..... it seems quite complicated if ask HR to issue this letter. May have your comments to make it simple and easy?
Dear Luz, thank you for your video, this is very helpful.. I just have a follow up question.. I only worked full time during semester break and I just focused on studying every time the schools starts (i did not do part time whenever i am schooling). Can i use my payslips and coe as my document for my pgwp application including sowp for my husband on that full time work on semster break? please advise and appreciate ur help..
Hello. The payslips should be recent. Do you resign everytime you go back to school?
Yes po, nagwowork lng po ako during breaks. kelangan po ba maghanap ng work before mag apply ng pgwp with SOWP? or pwede gamitin ung coe and paystubs previously? salamat po
@@theenaperalta2529 yes, recent payslips talaga ung needed and required na may job ka to extend your sowp. Pwede ka mauna muna magapply ng pgwp then if complete na ung docs mo, saka mo apply si sowp pero need nya magapply before magexpire ung permit nya.
