from my mathematical knowledge, it's short with 5 days.

I can advise aside from this ma/sir.

Goodluck!

@okukuone

Good day everyone. Please help!

Please I will like to apply for SOWP to go and join my common law partner who is an international student in Canada. But with new rule about the ban, everything as to be done ASAP. He just left in the last week of December and he has to apply for a study permit extension this February as his visa is expiring end of February.

Please when is the best time to apply? Is it immediately after he gets his study permit extension or I should wait for some months after he gets his study permit extension?

Can I use his bank account as my sponsor without submitting my own bank statement or do I need to put money in my account and use for POF and say I am sponsoring myself?

How much do I need to show for POF? Is it still 20,000CAD or since he has about 12,000CAD that he wants to show for POF, I don’t need to have up to 20,000CAD? Please what is the best amount to have in my account?

My GCkey account has expired as I applied for a study permit in 2021 but couldn’t go, am I creating another GCkey account to apply or should he use his own GCkey account which he just created to apply for visa extension?

If he lives in a shared apartment rather than a studio apartment, would that be a reason they could reject my application?

If I am in between jobs right now like unemployed at the moment, would that be a reason for my application to be rejected?

Please who is to write the letter of explanation? Am I to write the letter of explanation alone or am I meant to submit 2 letters of explanation, one letter written by me and the other letter written by him?

Please please please can someone help to send a sample of letter of explanation, please send to my email - queencocomiimii@gmail.com

Thank you

Why was it denied and when did you do the application?
Was it SOWP for you?

Please how can I apply for an open study permit for my child? His application was refused because I applied for a visitor visa for him instead of an open study visa. How do I fill out the imm form for an open study visa?

Yes, it was SOWP for me and VV for kids, together with my spouse Sp (An agent did this one), which he later got approval after he applied alone.

It was denied on financial ground.

I observed that SOWP approval rate is high on people with child.
Have anyone noticed?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by nnemak(m): 5:33pm On Jan 30
Check on the refusal letter, your UCI number should be there. You can also leave it blank as it's not compulsory to include during submission if you cant find it .

Common law means you guys are not married right? This doesn't work most times cos married couples with their marriage certificate and pictures still get denied because they they will say they are not convinced. It would have been easier for you if you guys had gone to registry before he came to Canada.
Him living in a studio apartment or not has nothing to do with your approval or denial, I was living in a shared apartment when my husband and kids did their visa and their visas were approved. we didn't mention my living arrangement at any point.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by folla: 8:51pm On Jan 30
Is the lump sum in your personal account? If yes, I can think of 2 options:

1. Make him a joint account holder and then submit immediately; or
2. Submit the account as is; since it belongs to a spouse. You and your spouse are seen as one and same under the law. It's called "unity of spouse".

If the account belongs to a 3rd party, the holder can transfer it to your spouse as a gift and then donate a gift deed. This should be detailed in your SOP.

Cheers.

Okay. Thank you. I just wanted to make sure that they wouldn’t be asking for his address at any point.
Please you said you applied for your husband and kids when you got there, how did you explain that your husband has strong ties to Nigeria since they know his wife is already in Canada.
Please can you share your letter of explanation via DM

Please I need any answer
How long does SOWP application stay before getting a response?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Olayinkayyyyy: 9:05pm On Jan 31
Every application is unique hence, there's no generic time for a SOWP application. However, on average, I think it's between three months on the average. As I said earlier, every application is unique and the Visa Officers treat it on merit. Hence the disparity in the processing timing.
