As it is right now, you are even running late with time, you are suppose to have applied for your SOWP as soon as your spouse arrived Canada and forwarded you the necessary documents you need to attach to your SOWP which includes SIN, student ID and study permit. So kindly go ahead and apply for your SOWP as quickly as possible please and pay no regard to what that consultant has said.
Secondly, you need a total of 6 months of your bank statement for your application.
Your letter of explanation doesn’t have to be a certain number of pages, just try to make sure you hit on the important and vital points.


FoxSilver19:
Hello everyone.
Thanks for coming forward to share your experiences on the SOWP. I need help here, please.

My spouse left Nigeria to begin her 2 years course on July 11 2022. My questions are;

1. When is the ideal time to apply for SOWP? A consultant mentioned at least 6 months of her stay in Canada. Is this true?
2. How many months of my bank statement do I require when submitting my application - 4 or 6 months minimum
3. Letter of Explanation like how many pages (though I written that - 3 pages)

@Kam3, @skull4eva, @Pyale, @jimogh111 and others that have something to share should please show some love

I can be reached via +234(0)8038785559 (WhatsApp) and email - voluyole@icloud.com

Many thanks!

Congratulations to you and your son. For me, I’m waiting for my visa on my passport and passport returned back to me first before I go ahead and book my flight. Don’t think it’s a bad idea.

Congratulations!
My son got his PPR yesterday as well. Waiting for VISA stamping.

Do you think its best to book for flight now or wait for visa?

I had informed them in the emails and webforms that I had submitted an upfront medical result with my application which hadn’t been updated on my application portal for months and kindly requested they did so.

bepositive11:
I've seen this over and over again -- IRCC taking action after sending emails. What did your email say to them? I want to do the same if it should come down to that.

Congratulations BTW! I hope my time will come soon.

Praise God!!!! What God cannot do does not exist.

Hi Everyone,

I am here to share my testimonial and also drop the timeline of my SOWP application which I already shared on the Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP) thread but thought it wise to also come back here to share it as well since it all began here.
It hasn’t been an easy road but God finally completed His work and to Him I return all the glory.
This was my second SOWP visa application as I had put in my first application together with my wife’s first study permit application early 2021 and both applications got refused. We had initially retained the services of a very reputable IRCC registered consultant in Canada and spent so much for this service, so getting a refusal on both applications had taken us off balance. In that confusion and desperation for a quick solution, I had gotten online and discovered this Study Permit thread on Nairaland which I thoroughly read through for weeks and kept coming across a particular name with people singing his praises and how he helped transform their cases and refusals to approvals through his detailed touch “Frankrobb”, I took a leap of faith and reached out to him and I must confess, that was one of the greatest decisions I ever made. After consulting with him, we agreed my wife applied alone for her second study permit application and when she gets the visa and arrives Canada, I apply for my SOWP to join her which we did and here we are, all visas finally approved to the praises, glory and thanks to God almighty. I want to also use this medium to appreciate Mr Frank for his hard work and also being a blessing to my family’s application success, your cup will never run dry, men will favour you and come to your aid before you ask. Amen.

My timeline:

Application submitted on 9th May, 2022.

Biometric was from previous application and was updated on 11th May, 2022.

Did upfront medicals on 5th May, 2022 that was submitted with my application documents.

Medicals didn’t update until July 15th when I decided to disturb IRCC Nairobi and Abuja in July through emails and webforms.

PPR on yesterday, 29th August, 2022.


Documents submitted:

The basic IRCC forms from their website,
My SOP, My bank statement, Bank reference letter, Employment Appointment letters, My Bachelors and Masters Degree Certificates, Marriage certificate, Newspaper publication for wife’s change of name, Sworn Affidavit of wife’s name change, Trad and White wedding Pictures, family pictures with parents and siblings, COVID vaccination card, National ID Card, Upfront Medical Sheet, Old and new International Passport Biodata pages, Police Certificates (Nigeria and UK), NYSC Certificate, Passport Photo, WES Assessment, SSCE Certificate, Landed property documents, Car documents, Professional Certifications, Leave letter, Work ID card, Payslips for 6months, CV, Work Promotion letter, Birth certificate, past visa pages and stamps on my passport, wife’s study visa, wife’s study permit, wife’s admission letter, wife’s school ID card, wife’s enrollment letter, wife’s letters of Authorization and Invitation, wife’s passport bio data page, wife’s social insurance number(SIN) document, wife’s full tuition payment receipt.

I wish everyone here God’s favour and good luck and I do hope that this post encourages and gives fresh hope to someone on this journey because with God all things are possible.
Thanks all. Blessings

You are welcome. I don’t have an idea specifically how long it takes for Abuja now but when my wife sent hers to Abuja few months back, it didn’t even take up to a week before her passport was sent back with the visa. Cheers.

PPR, baby!!!!

Oh, wow. What a ride.

Applied for SOWP for my wife and VV for my 2 kids on Nov 17, 2021.

Then applied for VV on the new portal for all three on Dec 30, 2021.

Received GCMS notes 2 days ago, mentioning home ties. Then today, messages about both applications appeared in wifey's inbox. When I saw them, my heart sank. I felt, this is it. E don finish.

I opened the VV on the new portal first. It said "withdrawn because a visa has been issued for your SOWP". It's still like a dream! In short, PPR for SOWP on the old portal (VV for kids withdrawn) and PPR for kids on the new portal.

I have to mention @Lianna2020 for all her help and support. You're absolutely awesome!!!

To anyone still anticipating, please don't lose hope.

Cheers!!!

Happy new month Fam
Please I want to pay my school fee before submitting my application.
The payment option my school has is paymytuition,
I use to see people paying with Form A on this platform
Please which one is better and cheaper?
Paymytuition or Form A.
Thank you for your kind response.

Form A is definitely better and cheaper. PayMyTuition rates are quite high. Ask your school for their international transfer details so you can make use of the Form A option. Cheers

Don't panic okay relax, your still on track and nothing has changed. What you will do is apply for another Admission in another school or you can choose to wait for Saskatchewan since they waitlist you.
But you better hurry up and secure another LOA from another school or the same school so that if ircc wants to give you visa and they request for additional document from you which is New LOA then you will submit it to them immediately.

If you get new LOA from another school or change course, forward it to ircc and explain the situation to them the reason why you change school or change course bcus the other school refuse to defer your program , of course they will understand , so relax your still on track

I stand to be corrected please, but isn’t this information you are dishing out wrong?
I have been made to understand and also read here from gurus in the past that once someone’s study permit application is already in process, applying for a new admission with another school and obtaining another Letter of Acceptance from another school will mean the person has to apply for a fresh and brand new Study Permit with IRCC

That directions to the Biometrics location that was given is wrong o.
Take a bus from CMS going to lekki-Ajah, drop at freedom way junction (formerly called Lekki 3rd roundabout) drop there cross to the other side of the road and walk into the Freedom way and ask for the Canada Biometric centre.

Good morning everyone, please I need a clarification on this:

My husband and I have a joint Bank account with Zenith which we've been operating since 2013, and it is this account we normally use to save up and execute family projects. This account has a closing balance of 18m and we had intended to present it as a funding account for my study. Now, Zenith is saying Mybankstatement CANNOT be generated for such account(joint account)or even a corporate account. Like seriously? At this critical moment that am 80% ready to submit my application? Can someone with a knowledge of how these things work(in the banking system) explain please cos this is crazy.

My head has been spinning since yesterday and I dont know where to go from here. Somebody help me cry cry cry

Hello oyibo4real
Please I and my wife are currently in this same predicament now as the bank account we used to apply online for the study permit is a joint account in zenith bank, and we are using the NSE route and can’t get the mybankcertificate, please we would love to know what you did about yours and how you went about it please.

If you can't get my bank statement you can ask for the regular statement of account (it will be enough). So, don't beat yourself. Just upload the regular SOA and you are good to go.
N.B: Hope you have a letter from your husband authorizing you to use the said fund for your education? I mean, your husband needs to write a letter of support stating he is aware and sponsoring you.
