How much expected for family of five to use as pof?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Abbeybaba: 6:01am On Sep 05, 2023
15m looks very small.
OkukuOne:
You would need a minimum of the below breakdown:

1. First dependent (spouse) = $4k CAD
2. Second dependent (7yrs) = 3k CAD
3. third dependent (5yrs) = 3k CAD
4. Fourth dependent (3yrs) = 3k CAD
5. misc = 3 - 4k CAD (This is so you do not blame the consultant or anyone again in the future. Our Naira is not something to be relied on and it can fluctuate at any time).

Also, back all with a good home tie. Aged parents and landed properties are good examples of home ties.

Note: You can reach me privately by email if you need a one-on-one coaching, but all you need is actually here if you are ready to work it out.


Good luck!

Hello house
Please i submitted my SOWP last two weeks and she did biometric this week. How long will the processing take for us to get response?

What kind of response are you expecting?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Namzy99: 12:30am On Sep 06, 2023
Hey guys. Good evening all. Please I have a visit visa to Canada but I intend changing it to SOWP as my wife is currently studying in Canada. Is this possible and if YES, how do i go about this ? Do I need to submit another visa application or I can doing it at the entrance border?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Oganla101: 1:28am On Sep 06, 2023
Na wa for this people o. Why can't they just approve my family's application once? They approved SP for two of my kids yesterday and left VV for the youngest hanging. What do I do now? Chill or start disturbing them with emails and webform?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by OkukuOne(m): 2:07am On Sep 06, 2023
It doesn't have to appear overly elaborate. What I've outlined up there aligns with the IRCC requirements, and this approach has been successful for those I've supported. Your SOP plays a vital role in your Study and Work Permit (SOWP/SP) application. Instead of solely focusing on finances, consider the bigger picture..

Good luck!

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by OkukuOne(m): 2:13am On Sep 06, 2023
You are required to demonstrate Proof of Funds (POF) for only one year.

I believe our primary concern tends to be the financial aspect, sometimes overshadowing other essential elements. While having sufficient funds is crucial, it's equally important to construct a compelling narrative. With a slightly higher amount than the requirement and a well-crafted storyline, your visa approval is more likely.

I've encountered situations where individuals possessed 60 million but were still denied. Therefore, it's crucial to place emphasis on meeting all the visa requirements comprehensively rather than solely fixating on funds.

Hope your money you showed for your SP is different from theirs?


Good luck!

Go to Canada with your VV and flagpole. I misunderstood your question. My bad.

To Flagpole, you cross the Canada-US border. If you arrive at the US side of the border and are denied entry, you can simply return to the Canadian side. Within 30 minutes, provided you have all the necessary documents for your wife, including her study permit, Letter of Acceptance, and supporting documents, your status can be changed to SOWP. The duration of this permit will match the one granted to your wife.


Good luck!

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Creativebelle: 3:57am On Sep 06, 2023
Pls how does the closed work permit work? Do I need to get a job offer before applying?

Also if one gets a job offer ..can you apply for open work permit instead of closed work .

Lastly, the visa duration for sowp is it tied to one’s spouse’s study permit duration? Let’s say I have three months to graduation,will my spouse be issued three months visa?

Thank you everyone.

Also if one gets a job offer ..can you apply for open work permit instead of closed work? A closed work permit is issued to a foreign worker to work in a specific position and for a specific employer that is listed on the LMIA. An open work permit, on the other hand, lets foreign workers work in any position, for any employer, anywhere in Canada.

Lastly, the visa duration for sowp is it tied to one’s spouse’s study permit duration? Yes

Let’s say I have three months to graduation,will my spouse be issued three months visa? Yes

Thank you everyone.

Hello guys. I'll be coming to Canada this weekend on a spouse open work permit and also my children on study permit.
I would like to know the documents I need to prepare for port of entry interview or what the immigration officers ask for to get the permits.
My husband is on a post graduate work permit.
Thank you.

Thanks. I currently have an ongoing application for SOWP. Will it affect the flag poling or should I wait to get feedback on my SOWP application first.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Nora064: 5:40pm On Sep 06, 2023
Hello guys; please I really need your input. I recently got study permit approval and want to apply for VV for my husband and 2kids.
How do I do this? Do I use my profile or my husband needs to create a profile for himself?
If my husband is applying on his own profile, how do I connect his application to mine?
Do I need to show my POF again or his own POF will suffice? And how much will cover his POF for my and 2kids
Please I would really really appreciate a response 🙏🏽
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Kurukuru: 6:07pm On Sep 06, 2023

Canada is now being strict with families of student going to Canada because of the housing crisis

I guess its up to u..
Since u have a valid VV u can travel with it..
Within a week of landing over there..go to the border as if u wanna go into the US..ur visa into the US wld be rejected and then u ll be given an SOWP visa...

Thars what a family friend did with her 2kids..she had a VV for just 1 week...and it was eventually converted to sowp since her husband schoold in Canada..its very legal..just google it..

Just apply for SOWP directly. In no distant time, your VV will be denied/ cancelled after you put in your SOWP, [b][/b][b][/b]and if your love letter is great, you get your approval.

Good luck!

Why not go with your visit visa to Canada since ur wife is already there and then you will flagpole and change it sowp

Hello house, I applied for sowp and vv for my daughter and infant son. I applied on the 25th of July and did biometric on the 27th of July 2023. Any July applicants with positive response? The wait is nerve wracking. My son was born in my husband’s absence and we all cant wait to reunite.

Hello,
please is this answer correct for someone whose husband is in Canada already studying?
The person is applying for SOWP from outside Canada.
