I understand your point. This is where those with IT experience in Nigeria with their College Diploma in a good IT course can stand a chance.

Teer 1 to 3 maybe difficult but it is attainable in such case.

Rasakiopoewa:
You cannot beat it. Before you can apply for sowp with pgwp, you must be in Teer 1- 3 which is difficultt to get such job as a new graduate. There is a policy or a pilot that qualifies people presently enacted by Fraser allowing low skilled workers to bring their family. Unfortunately, this is a 2 year program which may end by January next year. Am not sure they will renew it cos they want to shut the door. The govt sees pgwp holders and students as same. So go now to submit your SOWP applicationto be on safe side. Best of luck

Exactly, has your eligibility started yet?

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Rasakiopoewa: 1:18am On Jan 26
If same POF used by ur spouse is what you are presenting, the system will pick it up as it was built to identify similarities in SOWP. How much did your spouse showed? He/She is yet to pay school fees and e.t.c. In their calculation, they will take that away from what you are showing to them cos it is same bank account and see if the rest is enough for you. There are a lot to all this thing. It would have been easy if she has paid for her school fees and in canada already. Am gonna leave it at that. Best of luck

quote author=evansky post=128127542]Hello, you said something about not applying with same account that was used for earlier. I have a situation, I was trying to build my account so I can apply May but after the announcement I decided to apply on Monday but with same Account I use in sponsoring my wife. I added my father’s inlaw account that has 14m closing balance plus the 10m remaining from mine. Am I safe or i should re-strategize my POF? Please I need answers.

At first we showed 15m and her visa was approved, we have paid half of her school fees. Balance of $8300. Now I have 10m left before her visa was approved. I removed 5m to start building my own proof of funds but after the announcement i decided to apply immediately. I added her dad’s account to the proof of funds so we have around 23m in total now. Should I still add more funds to it? or the 23m is okay? I also declared asset worth N88m and a business that i earn 10m annually.

Hi guys,
My husband applied for Sop 13th of November, he did his biometric 23rd and his application has been on in progress since then, no update since the day of his biometric, even his medicals is yet to be uploaded and he did upfront
Should I be worried ? Cause it really frustrating

Thanks so much for the advice.o appreciate
Rasakiopoewa:
[Do not try to come now. There is no clarity on those who will be affected yet. I will advice you come in 2 months to when you are starting school. Pls come with all documents especially POF as those border officer will be strict now. You can apply for your spouse right away. You dont have to wait. Do not use same account you submitted for ur application. Hope this will help.
quote author=damrmd02 post=128110402]Please good people on this forum,I need more enlightenment about this.

I have gotten my visa for college in January,but my resumption is September,do you think If I come in before September I won't be affected with this new law of no spouse for college students because I haven't apply for them? Pls I need advice.
And please when can they apply,is yet after I travel or before I travel?

I think application is still being accepted for SWOP, they said "in few weeks' time", so I would advise you submit as soon as possible. And if you have the funds, you can also apply for visit visa concurrently, there is no harm in having the two.

The announcement won't affect your kids if they are still in primary/secondary school, so you can still go ahead with study permit for them.

These are my thoughts, other experts can contribute.


Ok , thank you . If I do another visit visa , do I still need to add my kids on that application .

Cos they will be on the SOWP application too or just the visit for spouse is all I need to apply on the other application .
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by LholarB(f): 3:24pm On Jan 26
Rasakiopoewa:
[You can sure apply for sowp now but the issue of deferral might create a big issue for you. Apply for the sowp now. Write a good sop to show why u think it will be good for you and your spouse to leave same time. But do not defer as you will only be given 3 months extra on your study permit after the completion of your studies This may pose a risk iin the future when you apply for pgwp. If you are pregnant before you go, you can make things messy for them if you understand what I meant before they change things again!!! You can apply for your spouse right away and leave in March.Keep pregnancy issue away from them until u get here.

Ok , thank you

Also I have paid first semester fees and I submitted my biz acct as source of funds , my personal acct and spouse acct as POF in my first application

Now for SOWP , looking at just submitting spouse personal acct as he has bulk of the money in his acct to cover for him and our 2 kids

Will this fly ?
Or can I still show support by submitting my biz account to show part of source of funds ( has good inflow and outflow ) and my personal acct ?

Good morning everyone, please is Police report compulsory for SOWP application, the process of getting it now is very complicated. Can I apply without it?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Asekzz: 12:01pm On Jan 27
Police character is not needed.

Hi guys , I need advice on , I have been trying to build my husband account for the past 5 months with closing balance of about 1 million per month with intention of having about 15 million and to apply for the spousal ope work permit in march 2024.

Kindly advise on what I can do to convince the visa officer.

Good evening house, can someone advise me on how to pay for my visa application fee? Please🥹
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by OkukuOne(m): 8:10pm On Jan 27
We replied on things we know little or nothing about. Please go and read what I responded to again and get a fuller understanding of what I meant.

Some of us have helped a lot of people here and are experienced. We do not speak because we want to, but we only advise when req'd.

Let's read and read again because we send out the wrong signal.

Good luck!
