Thank you,
The funds has reduced significantly as part of it was used for land purchase and the other was used to support siblings for travelling to the UK.
But my spouse has almost 10K Cad as she is already in canada.
how do we address this.
Also wont it be a lump sum if we are to make it up before printing ?

HEADYWORLD:


If the fund is still intact, go to your bank to get another statement and a reference letter.submit it

But if the fund has reduced significantly, make up for it before printing and explain it thoroughly. All the best.

3.6m for all 4 of us (Lufthansa). Though you can get cheaper flights for some other airlines, but i choose comfirt for my kids over money. For once, let them be comfortable and experience good taste.


Hi, good afternoon.

Please, can you confirm if you booked directly on Lufthansa or which travelling agency you used. The prices I'm seeing are quite on the high side. Also, were you able to pay in Naira?

Many thanks in advance.

I’m in the same situation. No Biometrics Appointment Letter yet after submitting. It’s day 4 today.


Have you gotten the biometric collection letter? I am beginning to get worried.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Goldentony2nice: 5:08pm On Jun 08, 2023
I’ve not received the biometrics collection letter. I’ve been checking regularly. I’m worried as well. Please, anyone in the same situation that has finally received the notification should let us know.

Uhmmm… this is where the issue is, if the 10k cad in your spouse account can make up for the reduction in POF, try merge the account and explain it convincingly enough. But your spouse Canadian account was not part of the POF before. How much was removed from the account??
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by keleto(m): 6:52pm On Jun 08, 2023
Pls can someone help me out on this.

My wife have up to 30th of this month to submit passport to VFS.
She booked appointment with vfs abuja (but did biometric in lagos) and they are giving her 20th of this month and there is no account number to pay the transmission fee. Also the date they gave her is too far. Don't know what to do. There are lots of complaints about unnecessary delay at lagos vfs.
Can she just submit in person at Lagos . Is it allowed.

Hello,
Send a webform stating your complaint and your application details to this:

Try it for 3 days consecutively. It should work.

it was part of the POF like a supporting acct before , but it was having 7k when we submitted.
the total amount was removed to support my brother travelling to the UK and he just landed last week, asking him for a refund is way too early

You can bypass the whole appointment thing by using courier to submit (I used UPS) u can use them or DHL (Both is good). You don’t need appointments to use them, and u will get ur passport back in let’s say 2 weeks time.

Good evening good people. I got a work permit refusal today and this was the reason.
“The compensation (monetary or other) indicated in your job offer and your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable)”
I intend to reapply, please advise me how to address this . Thank you in advance

I take my time research on this refusal reason and it’s only applicable closed work permit, if you have an offer from canada employer where the offer does not meet up the compensation bracket. Some visa officer are mistaking Closed work permit for open work permit. You can try reconsideration or re apply. Order your notes too to see more details of the refusal
