Everyone can't move to Alberta because Alberta can't provide jobs for all..

GTA still remains a choice destination for IT and finance... I have a friend in Toronto and he's doing fine.. In addition, you enjoy a fairly good weather..

To each his own..

Kindly send me your Letter of explanation. Thanks michaelapata11@gmail.com

How many weeks after enrollment is advisable to apply for sowp for spouse

mikel88:
based on past applicants experience and coincidentally one of them was also on this thread @gymme, he had both applications on at the same time he was successful on both. Also, i read on the Express Entry thread about a particular moniker who had both applications on at the sametime. In a nutshell, your husband can confidently go ahead and put in for your PR application without any fear. I pray your SOWP ends in praise.

Hello house,
In a bid to keep the trend lively, can all the people who have travelled with this type of visa share documents that were requested of them at the point of entry?
This will help us to further prepare. Thank you

Jimmychuks2018:
Dear Markab please help respond to my question, refusal based on travel history and that we did not meet the lico for family of 4 which is 44,000$. how can we tackle that one.

Thank you in advance.

NVGKP1:
@ Markab good to know know you are now in Canada. Please I need a format of the LOE for SOWP. I've searched through this thread but it's not there.
Thanks for your prompt response.

Anonymous0611:
The following are the documents we submitted :
The filled forms
My statement of account (note I didn’t use bank account, I used Mutual funds cos that way they just gave me a letter to the embassy. Bank account will show when you move money in and if it’s not up to 6months, they won’t trust that it is your money)
My other assurance accounts
My husband’s statement of account
His student permit
His employment letter
Letter of Explanation (got the clue from here, you have to be very emotional while writing it)
Letter from my employer
My CV
Family pictures
Deed of gift( I got my dad to transfer a property to me because our 1st application indicated rejection due to no tie)
Document of our property
We have been rejected before and funds and no ties were the main issues.
We made them understand that we both have parents alive and I go home often so we can’t abandon home.
A lot of prayers o, that the VOC that will review our documents will be in good mood.

Good day House, what is the possibility of getting my wife's SOWP approved with my approved TRV. I heard i would need my study permit (which would be issued at the point of entry) and a letterof enrolment from my school stating information about me and my course. But from my observation from comments here, i did not see any mention of these documents.

Thanks in Advance!

Samchi2014:
@Marktab how canada bro ?

NVGKP1:
Good day All,

Please I need a sample LOE for SOWP.

Thanks for your prompt response/s

Samchi2014:
Gd evening house, Pls any latest info on SOWP via Paper application, I submitted in 13th Dec..

henribenz:
Good morning house,
As adviced earlier in the forum. I have applied now for an SOWP in Dec 2017. I also applied for study permit for my sons. All applications were via paper route.
Please I have been trying to link my paper application to my CIC profile but it's not going.


I don't know what am doing wrong.

vickyehi:
Yes it must be 10 yrs with no gap inbetween.. ...ladt time I was at the visa office in lekki, it was boldly written on the wall

wealth360:
Any updates in the house?

Lhimeet:
Good day,please I want to know if Canada visa lottery is out? ...Anyone with any info ? Will duly appreciate...Thank You

tangled:
I apologize for the late response. These are the documents:

Letters of explanation to address the initial refusal
Statements of Account(spouse and I)
Reference letter from work (spouse)
My Enrolment letter
My Course plan
My Student account
Passport biodata page (child and i)
My Study permit
Child's visitor's visa
Paystubs from my part time employment

From my own experience, I think the VO wants to know that you have enough to take care of your expenses.

tangled:
I submitted my husband's SOWP application on the 26th of September 2017 after an initial refusal in July 2017, and the application was approved today. All is well that ends well.
