No. Once she enters Canada and enrolls as a as a student, she becomes a legal status holder and with that, u can flagpole and convert your visit visa to sowp at the border. No concerns with immigration on this.

Thanks man I appreciate

Though I will strongly recommend she applies alone. However if you have the pof and can use your sop to convince why both of you should travel together then fine. It lies in your sop. Also as a business owner, you can use it as an economic tie to be managed by someone while you are away.

I can actually let her go alone, however, if I visit her after she lands can I FLAGPOLE to get my SOWP ? Is this legal ? Any idea the risks involved ? Will it raise concerns ?

Yes. You can take a leave of absence and give it a shot. Would have been alot easier though if you were a business owner. Why not her apply alone anyway since you already submitted your visit visa application, if and when hopefully hers is approved, she can immediately apply for you to join in a sowp.

I actually have my business with a monthly revenue of over 7million and a profit between 500 to 600k monthly. This is my major source of income besides my monthly salary of 367k. My wife earns a little under 100k monthly and she’s got Boutique

Hi EkaAkp
I would advice she applies without you so you can serve as part of her home ties.
Once her Visa is approved and she gets to Canada and is enrolled in school, you do your medicals, travel to Canada and Flagpole (since you have an existing visitors visa) so as to get a work permit.
I would assume your wife is going to include your daughter in her application, I hope there is no custody issue between you and your ex-girlfriend and that you and your wife have legal custody of your little girl.
Godspeed.

Hey thanks for the reply, my daughter actually lives with my Ex, my daughter will be included but we won’t be traveling as my ex has said she wants her here with her until she’s 10yrs old.

Whether you apply with or without her, they already know you have a visitor visa. It's how convincing your sop will be will determine if it makes sense to travel with her or not with sowp.
If you have the pof, then you can apply with her.
As for working remotely, it could be a red flag cos that job can't really act as an economic tie for you again.

Thanks for the response, how would I explain leaving my job when I’m not the primary applicant who will be studying,? Would it make sense if I say I’m on leave of absence? My wife will be on study leave

I recently got my Canadian visitors visa last week, I’m yet to actually travel because the visa came in late and the purpose of travel had passed. However, my wife age 25, has gotten admission and is to resume by January 4th in Canada. POF isn’t the issue, home ties isn’t an issue also as I have 2 lands of over 10Million in value, a very good business and I am employed also. My wife has a plot of land also and she’s duly employed also. We work in the same company. I have a daughter who is 3yrs old from my ex girlfriend. My wife will be granted a study leave by then ur company and I have been granted a transition to another department in the company to allow me work remotely if I wish to accompany my wife.
I will be the sponsor
The issue here is this, should we apply together ? when my wife applies for her study permit, should she apply for my SOWP? Remember I have a visitor visa approved already .
Also, is it a red flag 🚩 that my company is allowing me work remotely and yet I am seeking SOWP ?
