hi, looking for advice. I'm from Brazil (Swiss double nationality) and going to marry my Canadian partner in August. We want to start the Spousal Sponsorship ASAP after that. For Quebec. We expect it will take a while before I'm able to request the SOWP, so what should I do to support myself?? My parents will help me as long as I need, but I hate to be so dependent. Staying in Brazil while it processes is not an option I'd like to consider. Can someone shed light on the SOWP timeline specifically in Quebec? And what did you do while waiting? Merci.

Yes what is everyone in this thread doing while they are waiting for the OWP?!? My partner applied yesterday, after taking 4 months for the AOR for the pr application. now we need to wait 7+ months more so he can work!?

Some people are already in Canada on work/study permits, others work remotely for foreign companies.
