Hello house,

Please I need help. I was previously refused SOWP as they stated my UK visa was about expiring and since I'm unable to extend it, I am planning to come to Nigeria and apply for SOWP again this month. However since I will not have a job in Nigeria, is it ok to apply without an employment letter and what else can one use to show ties? Anyone here applied without an employment letter?

P.S: My wife is currently working in a NOC B job and has Postgraduate Work Permit.

I will really appreciate inputs pleaseeee! thanks

Good day everyone,

I have been noticing some sowp applicants declaring not to include SOAs in their applications. I'm kinda confused here although it's not a criteria on cics website.

Is it a good risk to take please advice @Folaroyal et al
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Ceekoneal: 1:08am On Apr 06, 2017
@markab what is the full meaning of SOAs?
@bussybee my laptop got spoilt didn't retrieve any of my documents..really I didn't use any format
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by sjunad: 3:36am On Apr 06, 2017
Hello Markab and everyone,

It is true that SOA is not part of the documents for SOWP application and for those that submitted ​online, there is no place to attach proof of financial support except you attach it with the letter of explanation.

But my advice is that whether it is required or not, it is the applicant's responsibility to convince the immigration officer that you have sufficient financial resources to support yourself in Canada.

From my personal experience, my husband is currently studying a two year master program in Canada. We hired an immigration lawyer to help in processing my SOWP application. My husband and father are my sponsors and I sent their statements​ of account to the lawyer to include with the application. When she was due to submit, she told me that there was no need for statement of account as it was not requested. I wasn't comfortable with the idea of not submitting it but didn't want to be arguing with a professional. She then advised that they might request for it in the course of the application​. They never requested for the financial statements and my application was rejected based on personal assets and financial status.

Decided to share my personal experience so that you all can learn from my mistake and also, everybody's circumstances are not the same. Some might submit SOA and get it while some don't submit and still get it.

Aww.. After about 4 months wait!.. Sorry about that and thanks for the very insightful post!!
If you have read some of my posts back from Canada study permit thread.. You'll notice that i am not a fan of agents.

Thank God it is the story of refusal you are sharing now, many others bagged 5 years inadmissibility into Canada due to Agents unprofessional handling..... Imagine being banned on an SOWP

You know i can be almost certain that you would have been approved if you did the application yourself!.... SOWP application is quite straight forward!...
Financial proof and personal assets is key.... Check back... The applicants who have been approved without a SoA usually have proof of their current employment (payslips/introduction letters/pension etc)..
Employment serves as financial proof and economic tie to home country.
Regards.

Please I'm new to this forum, I just got an admission to a Canadian University for my Msc, My wife also secured an admission for her PhD, we decided that I defer mine while she applies for a study visa since her program is longer, We (including my children) currently all have valid visiting VISA to canada, I visited last year and my wife visited this year. My question is: should I apply for the Open work permit along with her Study Visa or should we wait for her Study Visa to be approved, we all travel together and I now apply for Open Work Permit when we get to Canada? Thank you.
