StudentsNG: Update :Submitted in ABUJA VFS, July 14; got feedback Sept 27.
CIC denied my wife's application yesterday. They stated 1. purpose of visit and 2. Personal Assets/Financial Status.
While I'm not particularly sure why they marked those, I fear they might have arrived at that decision following 2 things.
1. My wife's level of education. Her NCE result is awaited, so we only used her O'level and Skill, she's into Catering and Events. 2. No account statement for her - she is paid in cash and there was no way to relate her account statement to her job.
However, I included my 3 different landed property documents, Statement of N12.775m (GTB), and $35,600CAD from CIBC here in Canada. My GTB has monthly inflow of at least N4m and this is consistent. I used same account to apply for my study visa in 2016.
I was pretty sure that funding was not our problem, but not sure why they considered my wife as a 'single' individual (her 'personal' finances).
My Problem
I was never interested in my wife coming here to work, I just want her to be with me. She is pregnant for the first time and I have no one to take care of her should there be complications during her delivery - due January.
I am wondering if she will be approved for a visiting visa if I file immediately, considering that she just got denied SOWP.
Any advise guys? I'm very sorry for the delay. In as much as you have the funds. I spoke to an immigration lawyer provided for international students at uottawa. She strongly advised that your spouse should have her own money in her account. The reason she gave was that the way the immigration officers think is for a scenerio where u and ur wife have a misunderstanding and for some reason u guys don't get along. What then happens to her?? Moreover u will agree with me that the marriages in the western world are not like ours in Africa , hence, the reason for their logic.i will strongly advice that you transfer a reasonable amount to her account even if you choose to apply for a visitor visa. All the best |

Markab: If I get you right sir, are you saying the spouse should get a 'Bachelor's apartment' before submitting the SOWP application?
And kindly assist me on this, my spouse has not done her change of name before filing in her application in January as all her credentials carry her maiden name. Is it okay she does the change of name thing and I add it to my application? If yes, how does she update cic and her school?
Please advice Well adding a change of name is an added advantage. The idea i believe is to give them enough reasons to show that you are actually married. In my personal opinion , these people r not really detailed or just should i say make assumptions. I was denied for my study permit initially becos they felt me and my sister who was my spnosor don't share thesame last name, even though i clearly stared in my application dat she was married. Naturally they are meant to know that once a woman is married her name changes. So i resubmitted and d only difference between d two applications was proof that we once shared same last name. So by all means add it to your application. And she doesn't have to inform cic, cos it's not her application. As for oda documents which are school related she may have to update it with d school so dat everything is aligned, these guyz here don't use common sense o. As for the hoise, she should justbstate clearly in her invitiation letter. That where ahe is staying can comfortably accomodate both of you. Noone is going to verify whether it actually is. |

Mbogi: All you need to apply is her study permit, marriage certificate and a proof that she is a student in Canada. Proof of fund is just an advantage, it's not a main concern, let your company say in a reference letter that they will take you back whenever you return, a job offer in Nigeria is kind of a tie.
You can always apply to change the conditions of your stay in Canada and if you want to apply for a study permit then you will need proof of fund. In as much as proof of fund is not a key document. Trust me dey want to know u can survive here without working for d duration ur wife id a student. They always consider worst case scenerio, assuming u don't get a job. I am currently studying here in canada and I'm also working on sowp for my wife. I know a lot of my class mates that had sowp of deir wives denied. I had to speak to the immigration consultant for international at my school. Her advise was and i quote 'god forbid u amd ur spouse get into a fight and u separate' so dats 1 of d reason each spouse must have deir oen funding . additionally she said u need to show a proof dat u can live together, so ur wife may have to include her lease agreement which will show both of u can stay together, cos 90% of students live in 1 room and a shared space. |

Gymme: He never said common law though! Being 'engaged' is not a relationship status in Canada without any LEGAL paper.
Besides, to qualify for common law is not just about living together. Paper work is needed as proof. Well living together is enough proof as long as u csn show it.. Probably with ur mailing address on documentation and word of mouth in form of referencing.. ( for example the address in your bank account).... |

Besides, to qualify for common law is not just about living together. Paper work is needed as proof. Sure paper work is needed to proof it. But when a Nigerian tells you he is engaged i think it qualifies as such. In my opinion if u ticked common law status while applying for study permit and u eventually got married before it was approved. There's no need flogging a dead horse by revisiting it in ur owp application. D fact dat it was dere just doesnt raise an eye brow. Ur marriage certificate is ok.. Just reference it in ur sop |

Gymme: When you say you indicated on your online application that you were engaged, i'm not really sure what option you chose as your marital status.
Anyways, if you got married before your study permit was approved (while your application was still in process), please let IRCC know before you leave Nigeria.
If after approval you got married, also let them know before you leave Nigeria.
#My2Cents. Common law. It's a relationship status which mean two people of same or opposite who are ina congugal relationship living together for over a year. Being engaged qualifies as a common law |

wiljen120: Wh province are you? Also, is it possible to accumulate enough funds to pay tuition fee by working? Either part time or full time iamosamede55: Well in my opinion it's almost impossible and it also depends on hw much ur fees. In uottawa where d fees is abou 8500 per term, doing minimum wage job or slightly more than minimum wage jobs at 20 hrs per wk will barely cover your cost of living per month. That is if you even get get up to 20 hrs. This is the reality. What alot of guyz do here is to go on break during d summer and work full time for about 4 months, dats when u can raise something tangible. |

Snappyfingaz: I am in Saskatchewan. It is possible but it would take its toll on you. If your program allows you to work full-time during summers (and you're lucky enough to get summer jobs) and you cut down on expenses you can do it but trust me... It is difficult than it seems although not impossible. Well in my opinion it's almost impossible and it also depends on hw much ur fees.

suziee83: Hello guys, I am presently in Canada studying and want my husband to apply for the spousal open work permit from Nigeria. Please is this from the same for Spousal Open Work Permit? Also are there any implication of not having properties to support his application? Thanks. I should think so. If u search thru cic thoroughly i doubt you will finnd any other for work permit. When you look thru the form, you will have the option of selecting open work permit and once u select that it automatically turns off all other questions. Your study permit you will b attaching to the application and marriage certificate is what then makes it a spousal work permit. Furthermore, if you notice cic never gave instructions on how much you will require for open work permit ans you will see that bank statements or proof of funds ia not a compulsory document. Your explanatory statement is the deal maker or breaker + God's grace off course. But it's generally advisable to have funds to show ur spouse can live for a worst case scenario if he doesn't get a job. So d funds to show is entirely up to you. I am not a guru though and i stand to be corrected I am also in Canada and my wife is applying very soon. |
