Abeg Skull4eva, Please what is the answer for this question: Are you accompanying a family member that has status in Canada, or has recently been approved to come to Canada? YES OR NO. Also in filling children's study permit application forms, under employment field, something must be filled there or else it will not allow validating. Please what is the solution to that?

Good afternoon house, my husband is about to apply for study visa, we were advised to wait till he gets there before my baby and I can apply, but due to Form A delays we couldn’t pay the tuition on time, by the time we made payment there was no seat for January and he has now been transferred to May intake, which is too far away for us. So my question is do you advice we apply together as a family or do we wait for his visa to be out, if granted then we use the granted visa to apply or do we wait till he gets there before we apply, kindly give your advice and how we can go about it as May is too far away to start my application.

SOWP PPR is here!....

Hello house, please rejoice with me as my wife's PPR just dropped. We applied on June 16 2022, review started first week in August and medical was updated to pass on August 8 (did upfront medical). Bvl letter sent on August 17th, and ever since then, no update!

Although we were worried why BVL was sent without PPR, we were calm as the application has been processed faster than we expected (65 wks processing time as at the time we submitted in June)

But on seeing the message that @Kam3 posted this morning that her/his PPR already dropped, I was motivated to contact IRCC since Kam3 submitted his/her application in July while we submitted June.

I immediately wrote an email to IRCC, explaining that we were yet to hear back from them since BVL was sent. I immediately received a confirmation email that I will be responded to in 5 working days. Since it's late here Canada, I was just about going to bed when my wife called that I should check her gmail for an email from IRCC.

Lo and behold, PPR message has dropped! That was just like 28 mins after I sent the email to IRCC.

I am happy to provide details of necessary docs that were submitted if anyone is interested in that. I am also happy to provide guidance for any future SOWP applicants. Meanwhile, my wife and I got married in December 2021, and I returned to Canada in January 2022. She just finished her undergraduate studies last month, so this good news is coming at the right time!

I want to use this medium to return all thanks and praises to Almighty God who facilitated my wife's SOWP.

I also want to thank everyone on this platform who has been so helpful in responding to messages, and providing necessary guidance on the SOWP application. Without your help and testimonies here, we wouldn't have been able to put forward a very strong application.

And for those of us still waiting for a decision, yours is next! Regularly pray about your application and don't lose hope.

And just an advice, when sending message to IRCC, be humble, praise them first, acknowledge that you understand they are dealing with lots of applications before making your request.

Thank you, Master JESUS!!!

Either way could work but it depends on three major factors. Finances home ties and probably career progression
If your finances and home tie is good and his purpose of visit suits the Visa officer then it is fine. But if not your spousr applying first will be a better option.

Hi Dam,

This info is not correct.

NOC doesn't really matter when it comes to SOWP.

Go ahead with your application for your family.

Best of luck!

SweetJJ:


What permit are you on? Student permit or work permit?

If you are on work permit or PGWP yes, you must be on NOC 0, A or B, but if you are on study permit, then your NOC doesn't matter.

Modified: just noticed you mentioned going for work, so I am assuming it's work permit. Yes you must be on NOC 0,A or B. So when you get inside Canada get a job on the NOC 0,A or B then apply for your family. By the way, are you on a closed work permit or open work permit this may be tricky if you are on closed work permit.

Why giving out wrong information here.
Your spouse can only apply for SOWP if you are working on NOC O, A,or B.

Congratulations, please I need to apply for my wife and kids too, @ Pyale and skull4eva, kindly assist with details of necessary documents and a guide in applying for sowp for my wife and 2kids.

Will appreciate your prompt response.

Thanks and God bless.

Yes, there is no crime in disclosing that he has a part time job but you need to submit his letter of employment and pay stub. It is legal for international student to do part time job.

It is not necessary to submit your kids last school report card but if you wish to do otherwise you may add it to client information section

SweetJJ:


Yes, if the spouse (main applicant) is on work permit or post graduate work permit. But if the spouse is on student permit, it doesn't matter.

Princessmay11:
thank you for your response. Can you give more details on home ties?

keleto:


@Sweetjj, what happens for someone on closed work permit,can the spouse not apply for SOWP?

SweetJJ:

The spouse can apply if he is NOC 0, A or B. The initial post I answered was in a case the person is not working on NOC 0, A or B, like someone working in NOC C, i had suggested the person should first come and then find a another job with NOC 0, A or B. But it becomes tricky and hard if it a closed work permit, changing to NOC 0, A or B so that he can apply for SOWP for the wife.

Raymond2485:

Congratulations.
Please I am gathering documents to apply for SOWP for my wife aand daughter arounf November this year. I am already in Canada on study permit.
My question is, am I the one to apply for them using my GCkey details, or my wife will open her own account and apply for for the SOWP?
I was trying to check if I can apply for them using my account, but I am not seeing that option on my portal.

Please let me know. You can provide a link as well.
Thanks

jogazino:
Your wife will need to have her account on IRCC Old portal.
