Can spouse change VV to Open Work Permit through flagpole in Canada? and for the kids can they still qualify for SP since they have cancel SOWP for the spouse of student study in college ?



No, VV cannot be changed to OWP if the student is not among the exempted students. You can apply for SP for the Kids or VV more than 6 months so they get visitor records which will allow them attend school.

I am a post graduate student in Canada. The new law is devastating because I submitted sowp and sp for my family on 1/3/24 and all rejected on 20/3/24. What other options do I have to bring my family in? I have cried my eyes out. Please I need help from the gurus in the house

So sorry for the rejection, what was the reason for the rejection?

Though as it is now, you can only apply for VV for your spouse and the SP can be applied for the kids.

Baba learn, all you are saying is still for study permit application, the moment you apply for pgwp, it means u are now a work permit holder and not study permit holder and thus, u can apply for open work permit for your partner, that's what most of us are waiting for here after our program to bring in our families....here is the link u requested for....

Oya show us the route of PGWP....it can only exist from the only three options required for SOWP...either ur spouse or CLP is a Masters student, PhD student or professional degree student (medical or law).

Aside this even if you have PGWP as a college student na oyo you dey. The route has been removed totally I guess with the stats of Int'l college student they have seen in Canada , them no want make we choke them up.

Check the attachment and see the questions you will be asked when opening applications for SOWP?


What you attached is for STUDENTS whose spouse's are applying for SOWP. What I am saying students who have GRADUATED and secured PGWP. These students can apply for their spouses to join them regardless of their programme of study.

Hi, Kindly advise as I am about to apply.
I & my wife registered a CAC and have been in business together.
She is the student and I wrote a sponsorship letter, did an affidavit of support to sponsor her.
I also moved 35k pounds to her pounds account from the company account and put description as her living cost and paid her full tuition fee from the same Company pounds account to the school for her.
I have been paying myself and paying her, we are both signatory to the company account.
My question is, do I still need to do a board resolution in the company letterhead and also pay slips?
as we both have been getting 1k and 500 pounds respectively in the last 4 months as salary.

Note am applying for a Visit Visa with the kids as i cant travel because of our business in Nigeria.
Kindly advise

I think this should be straightforward.

Even though you’re eligible for PGWP so far you’re a Post Graduate or Undergraduate student your spouse doesn’t qualify for SOWP, except you get a sponsorship job which requires LMIA.

PGWP is a work permit for students that’s why I said it’s tied to study permit.

#This is according to my knowledge and I stand to be corrected#

Jeboy:

There is no option for SOWP even after PGWP.

Only option available is Masters, PhD and Professionals Degrees. The only option open for college graduates is to have a PR and apply for Spousal sponsorship


When you graduate, you are no longer a student. If you are granted a PGWP, it means you are now working. The policy did not state that PGWP holders can not bring in family, it said student studying etc.

Ogbigog:
A PG student’s spouse can still not apply for SOWP during PGWP as it still falls under study permit. They can only apply when their spouses status changes to work permit.

Is PGWP not work permit? Work permit you get after you have graduated. How is it still tied to study permit?

Good day all. Thanks for the support so far. May the Lord continue to answer ur prayers. Amen I got my notes just now.
My story.
*I still have a running visitors visa of 10m POF since Nov, no update till now on my wife profile.
*I applied for sowp on my profile which was reject and GCMS notes above.
* for my proof of funds evidence. I did a gift deed of 10m from my sister, picture, her statement, her date of birth.
*my wife studies ends by April no plan for extra year so she is going for pgwp.
I need your advice moving forward with the ban on sowp.
1. Can I update the money in my account in other to update account details for running visitors visa application for myself and son on wife profile
2. Can I be reconsidered on my sowp application
3. What evidence do I need to show more between myself and my sister
4. Do u apply for new visitors visa on my profile
Please what do I do next, so confused right now. It's hasn't been easy so far @okukuone and everyone your input is highly needed.
Way is the way forward. Thank you sirs and ma

Sorry for the refusal. Unfortunately, you cannot be considered for SOWP anymore. You can only apply after she starts her PGWP. Your sister statement will show money inflows, how did those funds come in? Is it via business or salaries, depending on the source, then get documents to back it up. How many months statement did you submit? You can show earlier financial help or assistance from your sister to you in the past and you need a good SOP to tie everything together.

Will IRCC returned or rejected a study permit application if the applicant fails to do his/her biometrics?

They will not review your application without your biometrics not being on file. In fact, your application processing time starts counting from the date your biometrics is received by IRCC.

AskGod07:

Is it possible to get passport request for SOWP without Medical request?



A friend gotten a Passport request after they asked him to upload evidence that his spouse registere in a DLI and proof of school fees

Note; First time applicant

This must have been an oversight by the VO. Your friend needs to do his medicals and send the medical sheet to IRCC for review.

The issue with MBS is that the phone he travelled with that has his app on it is bad so we usually request the statement via email to the bank.
Is there a way the bank can email the statement directly to the embassy pls take note that my husband is already in Canada or should we upload the one the bank emailed to my husband?
Please I need urgent reply as the deadline for this is 25th march. Will it be too late if I upload the statement 23/24th march?


Let him do a request letter to the bank duly signed, requesting the bank to do the MBS for the period he wants, you can deliver the letter to the bank after he sends it to you. The ticket ID and PIN will be sent to his email. Please which bank does he use?

MarksmanD:
I applied to Conestoga since January and I'm still awaiting a verdict on my application. I checked the OCAS portal a few days ago and saw that I was placed on waitlist on the 2 optional courses I chose, while no decision has been made on my course of preference. Within this period I have already applied and gotten admission to study in the UK and I think I'd just take it, despite not liking the UK. My siblings and friends who live in the UK are telling me to rather wait for Conestoga verdict than to pay for the UK school tuition deposit because of upcoming UK study visa rules by the home office. Even though I understand their concerns, my home ties to Nigeria isn't even strong at all if I apply for a study visa to Canada. I can afford the cost of relocating to Canada myself because I have always wanted to relocate out of Nigeria so I planned financially for years. I refused to acquire any property, cars, and get married that would limit me when the time comes to leave. I'm also above 30.
My chances of getting a study visa is better currently with the UK than Canada, which makes the whole waiting for Conestoga verdict a waste of my time. With the news and rumors of how Conestoga College is badly run academically and administratively, also the housing and living crisis in Canada, I'm just like is it even worth it to go there for a PGD, when I can just get a master's degree in the UK for the same amount.

Hi Mark, look at the big picture. The reason why many people go to Canada is that the pathway to citizenship is straight forward unlike UK which changes its policies every 3 to 4 years. You hardly see people from Canada relocating to the UK. I will advise and suggest that you wait for the College to give you admission or seek for admission in another school. As it is now, you are very free to make a lot of decisions because you do not have any dependent to consider and all the restrictive policies being introduced by Canada will really not affect you.

Please what is an "MBS" I'm guessing it's my monthly bank statement? I already sent them my husband’s statement of account because he's the one sponsoring us so I got confused. I'm I to sent another updated bank statement of the same account we used? Pls its urgent as the deadline given to us is 25th. Also can I upload the document on the 24th as my husband is in Canada and he has sent the bank and email but yet to receive the statement.
Pls gurus in the house help me


MBS is MY BANK STATEMENT, it is an innovative way that banks send statements directly to third parties on behalf of customers. Your spouse needs to make the request for it and he will be given a one page document that will contain Ticket ID and PIN, which he will send to IRCC. That one page they will give you is what you will upload on the GCkey Portal.

Hello House please I just got an email from IRCC concerning my application, can you advice me on what to do next. Pls note that the POF we submitted is my husband’s account. And how long does it take them to get an uploaded document ( we are applying for SOWP and VV for I and my daughter that is 3yrs)

Do an MBS to them and upload the ticket ID, send via your GCkey portal and send it via email as well, They are almost through with your application, typically you have to wait till the end of the deadline for the VO to review the application again.

My answer to most of your questions is "NO", that's why I'm having a thought about the mpower loan.
I just want to know if most loanees find it easy to repay back their loans without much pressures and hastles.

Guys please I need an urgent candid advice on this...is canada still worth it interms of jobs and greener pastures?

It will be best to ask someone from your circle (Workplace, Church, Community) that has travelled to Canada. If they tell you that the place is not worth it, but they have not relocated to Nigeria then you have your answer.

Goodday Guys.. Please how cool is mpower financial loans for international students, is it worth it?

People default to loan when they can not raise the needed fund for their programme.

So ask yourfself, do I have the needed funds?
Can I get some one to sponsor me?
Can I get someone or a bank to lend to me without interest?

If your answers are NO, then you can go for Mpower. Please note that Mpower only finances some select schools and they have bias for STEM courses.

House please am using an agency for proof of funds but not micro finance bank will the VO detect that the money is lien ?

When you want to send the Statement via MBS or print out ensure to lift the lien so that the funds will show in the available funds ledger. For me, MBS is preferable for application.

Please guys i need your help.
I got admission at centennial college
paid the tuition deposit late last year.
school is also requesting i pay 8k semester balance
applied for study permit only for IRCC to turn it down and school resumes May 2024.
IRCC Reasons are that i cant prove to them that i have sufficient funds to cater for myself during the 1 year with coop program without working.
I used my company account and brother account as sponsor to gather 40k CAD.

what's the best way to reapply and what do i need to add or do to scale through this time.

i am also thinking of deferring admission to September.

thank you.

Sorry about the refusal. Firstly request for your GCMS notes.
The reason will most likely be lump sum deposits that were not sufficiently explained or lack of documentation proving the relationship between the sponsor and applicant.

Your notes will show you the actual details. Defer to September as well, so you do not be under pressure to resume while you wait for PAL too.

I got a denial today

Reason :

You do not qualify under the IMP as you provided insufficient information to demonstrate
that your spouse is a full-time student in a qualifying program at a DLI in Canada. Refused under
R205(c)(ii)

Please for those that experienced this and reapplied, how did you go about it. My wife is enrolled in a 2-year post graduate diploma program and she is in her second year, she is also entitled to a 3-year PGWP. The shocking thing is that the SOWP was done together with a study visa extension which was approved, yet the SOWP was denied

Send a reconsideration request, add your spouse's current transcripts and appeal to their emotions as well.
