10k plus 4k CAD for one dependent. explain he is the sponsor so you can use his account even though he is the dependent, with documents proving this. I've been seeing power loans up and down in this thread look at those, as well as all those pension funds. if you do not show that there is that amount somewhere even If its patch patch from different accounts you may have a tough time. please also remember property valuations are not proof of funds as it is not accessible cash but rather proof as strong home ties.

Thank you so much. There is no dependent yet. So if he has 4mil in his account and proof of his employment, and I show 10k CAD. Will that make sense? No property to show, the only tie is family.

this is very weird, send an email or raise a webform using application number info since there is no UCI, there is always an application number at least. explain what is going on and also confirm if the funds for the application has left your account, maybe it hasn't left and they are dealing with the pending transactions. in any case this is not normal state your issues. to be honest any little inconvenience in this Canada race raise a webform or sound out in an email to be safe.



Thanks a lot, while.i posted on the group I raised a webform few minutes later the BIL dropped. One again Thank you for your response

ok he can create a new gc key for her and create a new profile for her, I've heard people using same gc key they used for their application and it worked but however it is used in the form the accounts will be linked either ways. the LOI should be as a new one like he did for his study permit and all the topics addressed in the study permit application must be buttressed as well, i.e family ties cash for dependents and so on. he can apply from Naija as ppl have successfully done that but the best bet is to start ASAP cos SOWP has been taking time. he should start here then travel and get his SIN and actually study permit given at POE and upload that via webform to add to his wife's application.

his 6 year old daughter will need a study visa as well as she is above 5 years if she was younger she will need a visitor visa, that pregnancy should not be hidden but used as a bargaining chip in the letter of introduction, an angle can be use since it is a 2 mont pregnancy. it is very new and it can be used in explaining why your wife needs to come over with your family. if an agent is being used this can be a blessing in disguise for you as opposed to your belief that it is an issue. if you are DIY for this application take your time before writing that LOI and also attach proper documents proving anything. good luck to your friend


Cowbell521:
A friend of mine got his visa not long ago. He want to apply SOWP for his wify. Who should be the applicant? And should the Letter of Introduction be merged with the Family form or what?

The guy is with me now and I will appreciate swift response. Can he apply from Nigeria or wait till he gets to Canada? Any pro or con for applying from here?

Will everything be done from the principal applicant GIC account or the SP holder needs to do something?

Will their 6 years old daughter need visa?

Wife is 2 months pregnant will that affect her chance?

Will wife need to go to VAC in Abuja here?

Tnks

the money is sufficient definitely please don't forget showing money is not enough, explain the funds as well marriage certificate as well as any CAC documents that show him as a director if you have any. proof of employment as well as payment stubs, letter of introduction from work birth certificate showing he has aged parents if any, birth certificates of siblings showing he has siblings of same parents, pictures at family events possibly wearing aso Ebi. if no properties try to sell the family thing with proper documentations if you can. good luck to you and yours

Tnks a bunch. I will screenshot everything to him cuz he left already my place. What is DIY? Can she do medical while pregnant?

So if we understand you. The wife GIC will be linked with the information she supplies in her form? How will they add their daughter? Will they create another profile for her? Sorry for many questions
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by sam4777: 12:44pm On Oct 07, 2021
when creating a new application questions will be asked that lead to spousal open work permit, your friends wife will be the lead applicant and whilst applying the daughters application will be under hers, as a result in the form you will write information about who your friends wife is applying under a spousal open work permit from which will be the student that has already achieved his temporary permit (study).

yes she will go for a medical and since they are taking urine I am pretty sure they will Kaku she is pregnant so its only reasonable for him to highlight that she is early in her pregnancy and it was conceived during his wait for his study visa to come out so it is in fact a new development. he can use that as the purpose of wanting to be with his family as he would want to be able to oversee this stage and not leave his wife in such a vulnerable state. (I would advise upfront medical while the belle is still not too far ahead by the way)


DIY means Do It Yourself, the GC KEY is what I said not GiC dnt go and pay gbese please lol.

Tnks bro. We are both saying thanks Last question. Will the Letter of Introduction and LOE be attached to the wife application? So you are saying the husband my G does not need to do anything on his own account where there is visa?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by sam4777: 1:33pm On Oct 07, 2021
the suffer way he suffer get the study visa never do? you want him to do more? lol the only thing left for him to do is enter Canada collect his actual study permit at the POE which is vital and also his SIN and give it to his wife to upload on her application. he can decide to alternatively stay behind help her apply till biometrics and upfront medical on her own application GC KEY and from there go to Canada to attain the earlier documents I mentioned.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by owee: 11:30pm On Oct 07, 2021
I need some insight from experienced folks in the house. Currently in Ca for study and would like to apply for my wife and kids to join me. My Visa would expire mid-next year before the program ends but I am told it can be extended while in Ca. I recently got my new passport(the old one would expire same date as the visa). Can I apply for extension of the study& co-op work permit now or it has to be close to the expiry date?

Also, my wife is expecting and would that be an issue if I apply for open work permit for her and visit/study permit for the kids?

it is not an issue but disclosing it can be an issue, even at the medicals facility the instructions would advise you not to disclose it cos they will know. so its better to highlight it in your SOP to control your narrative.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by sam4777: 7:11am On Oct 08, 2021
from what Canada said (don't know if its been lifted) the only thing that spouse will need is a letter of authorisation saying the spouse is coming to their significant other. upon getting to Canada with the right documents can process way faster in Canada or for even quicker at the POE (more documents).

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by sam4777: 7:12am On Oct 08, 2021
no application apart from PR is more than 2 months while applying in Canada, and POE can be 30 minutes or less

Why your father?
That could be a red flag
But iif you use both ur hubby and father i think that is better
Or else you want to go as single
Another thing you can do is to run ur hubby account with the funds from ur father's account. Then use only ur husband as sponsor

I think everything just needs to be logical. If her dad is who has the money she should use it and no need to complicate it. She can claim that it is part of her father's policy to send his children to any country even when they are married and she can back it up with her sibling's certificate to show the commitment of her dad towards education. If your husband got some money to show just put it too as his own contribution and if not no problem. This Canada stuff is not as hard as people are taking it. Everything is just logic and how you present it.

@sam4777 i really intend to apply for visiting Visa then apply for SOWP in canada all my children are US citizens so no need for them getting visa (na only me remain) ...just wondering if that would be a better choice for me.... How does it look like when arriving at POE then start applying for SOWP ....... can you throw more light on the more documents....i need to be strategic on this mission

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by sam4777: 4:36am On Oct 09, 2021
This is where it gets tricky, if you are the only one applying for visiting visa it is extremely longer to apply. Visiting visa processing time takes longer than even SOWP according to IRCC. But from recent experience once its mixed into a study permit application it is answered way faster. I dnt know how they do it but thats how its been working, so you have to already have the visitor visa or be applying with the study permit either for your wife or kids for it to make any sense. I hope you are able to understand the tricky situation i am trying to portray, if not check processing time for visitor visa from Nigeria and then for SOWP and check the thread and notice the trend and pick which one is quicker for you. From what we have been noticing sowp applied along side with kids study visa or visiting visas tend to get to the Applicants hands a lot faster than people applying just as a stand alone spouse.

Good morning my people.
I am in Canada studying and recently submitted a Spousal Open Work Permit for my wife and Visitor Visa for our infant daughter. I submitted it in one application with my wife as the principal applicant. However, IRCC gave my wife (the principal applicant) an application number without UCI but gave my daughter both UCI and application number. Please is this normal?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by nairaandaed: 10:47am On Oct 09, 2021
