Hello Everyone. My wife and kids got their SP last year, they are in Canada already. My wife is attending a 2 years under graduate progamm due to the new restriction, I am rushing to submit my SOWP. Can someone advise me on the amount for POF knowing that my wife's tuition fees is fully paid and she has secured an apartment? PLEASE, PLEASE, your advice, I beg!
I am also in the same situation with you. My spouse is enrolled in undergraduate program and has started classes in Canada already.
I have already applied for SOWP around December. Hope this new law about SOWP won’t affect anything.

That’s what I am saying, the documents are very few. Can someone that has gotten their visa approved tell us what they submitted?
I think I have explained it to you.
The only documents of the main applicant available to you is the Admission letter, visa stamp and Tuition deposit. Other documents will be available when the student arrives.
Then you gather your own documents and summit.

What would they submit aside this if the spouse is still in Nigeria with them?
If your spouse is still in Nigeria. The truth is that you have few documents to submit because you can’t get study permit until you’re in the country. Most times you won’t get enrollment letter, school ID, summarized courses for the semester.
There’s more advantage if one spouse is in Canada already.

[quote author=Olatundeshosho post=128276010]Below is their response:
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 205. That’s all



What do IRCC actually mean by this statement: insufficient information to demonstrate that your spouse is a full time student in a qualifying program at a DLI in Canada.
Are people just submitting their spouse Admission letters, study permits and visa stamps?

Good day guys my wife SOWP visa was refused so I want to apply visiting visa for her.

1. Does her biometric for SOWP visa cover her for the visiting visa or she has to do biometric again?

2. What specific documents do I need to submit from my side (as an international student).
Good day sir.
What’s the reason behind the refusal of your wife’s SOWP?
Please share with us.

I believe there are many samples online. For privacy, people might not want to share their Letter of explanation as it contains private information. There are a lot of materials online. Just type. Sample Letter of Explanation for Spousal Open Work Permit Canada

How long does SOWP application stay before getting a response?

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.
Very true

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?

I am currently filling my form for SOWP and VV for my kids. Please how do I generate UCI for myself and kids.

My wife study permit expires in July, although she will be seeking extension by April for another one year. Does this mean I have to wait until she has been granted extension by April before I apply for my SOWP, seeing that renewal of SOWP isn't allowed?
