I am still waiting for any insight to tackle this. Please help us. She is really confused.

The bank balance for her has 13m
Her spouse in Canada $15,000
The personal naira account of spouse N20m plus
The business account N5m

She works in the family biz as a doctor. The husband regularly sends money to her and there was no lump sum except funds from her husband.

Someone please help. What can she do differently? Please we are begging for help. God bless everyone.

She has enough money, i dont know why the second reason for rejection. I think probably the amount she showed in her payslip does not justify her bank balance of 13m.

For the last reason, is her hubby a student? What type of visa did she apply for?
assuming her hubby is a permanent resident, why would she want to travel on a temporary visa.?

The best thing is to order for her GCMS notes. I ordered via https://gcms-notes.ca/ and it took 28 days

Thanks for your input. She is ordering her case note immediately.

Her spouse is a student in Canada. She and husband owns the clinic. She does not receive salary but hubby regularly sends money to her being a family business.

She applied for Sowp

Honestly- she is so confused.

if her hubby is a student, then it becomes tricky. VO could interpret the hubby's money to be for his upkeep
I think a better approach would have been for the hubby to transfer all the money into her account making her the sponsor.

Ah, when I'm about submitting with 12000 cad.

I've read in the previous threads that 4000cad is required, then adding miscellaneous, then 6000cad is ok.

Now I'm scared, with these recent rejections on the grounds of finance.

Please guys help, is 12k cad ok? My current monthly salary is 250k naira too.

Thanks

Hello house

Please can 25% of pension, be used for SOWP proof of funds?,

Also is mutual fund statement allowed


Thanks in anticipation of a response
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Jeboy(m): 5:07pm On Nov 29, 2023
There is a condition for the 25% Pension withdrawal and even after fulfilling it (4 months of losing your last job) the money has to be in your account before you can say you have access to it as PoF.

Pension can only serve as home tie if it's much but cannot be used as proof of fund until they are processed to have the 25% in your account.

Any money you cant cash/access (liquidity) at will like the way you can do to your money in a normal bank account cannot be used as PoF.

If you have investment, you have to liquidate them into cash or transfer into your bank account with evidence to show before you can use as PoF.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Jeboy(m): 5:10pm On Nov 29, 2023
You are almost there. 80% of the time cycle of an application is spent on Background and Criminality check.

AYOBAU:
Please house, I want to ask when they say background/criminal passed what does that mean, what documents are used to check for that.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Jeboy(m): 5:22pm On Nov 29, 2023
You gave the VO too many suspicion.

How can a full time student be sending money to wife from Canada?

Except the student and hubby can proof that the money is generated in Nigeria.

I think your case is suffering from good documentation and explanation that won't make your case look complicated.

If these VO are not so clear with your source of income and proof, they dash you refusal straight.

Please I need answer to this? The wait is killing
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by AgEcon: 5:56pm On Nov 30, 2023
Good day everyone,

Please, my wife received this email (same as what I received last week in my email). She applied for sowp and we spoke with ircc last week to grant me authorization to release details of her application to me. We filled the form IMM5475 which we also filled when she submitted the application but they keep saying this. Please see below.

"Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

We have received your request to add the Release of Information to an Individual (IMM5475) form, however, we are unable to process it since some information is missing and requires further clarification.

In order to assist you, please upload a newly completed form via the IRCC Web form. Ensure to select the option about a representative".

What do they mean by "information is missing and requires further clarification"? Because we filled the form correctly twice now but we don't know why they can't process the form.

Anyone ever got this feedback and how did you resolve it.

Thanks.

My wife and kids got ppr for SOWP and Visit visa and submitted their passport on the 15th november for stamping , up till now they have not gotten feedback to pick up their passport, what might be wrong ?. i need assistance as i have already booked their tickets for december 4th
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Oluwaloniglory7: 8:26pm On Nov 30, 2023
Do you received message when you first submitted thier passport? If yes I will say you should give them a little time because I was thinking maybe they didn't write their email correctly or they didn't see it well.

Your passport can be ready and waiting for you at VFS

Good day all Nairaland,

It's been quite some time since I last stopped by, and I'm happy to see many new capable leaders among us.

I encourage everyone to continue the excellent work and to support each other during these times.

My job has kept me quite busy, but I want to give a shout-out to those who have been offering helpful guidance here. Well done!

Tonight, I'm here specifically to offer encouragement to anyone feeling on the verge of giving up. Remember, success doesn't always come quickly. For some, it might be a matter of weeks, for others a month, two months, or even a year. But in the end, many have achieved their goals and are now in Canada. You could be next. Keep believing, pray, and continue to be diligent in your efforts.
We all shall celebrate.

Hello Everyone,

I sent my passport to Canada VAC in London two days back using Royal Mail and till date I haven’t gotten any confirmation email from the VAC. Please, has anyone faced similar issues? I read that I ought to receive a tracking number, how can I get a tracking number as I have not received a confirmation email from VAC. Do I have to reach out to the VAC directly?

Thank you

Same thing happened to me. I submitted my passport via DHL , I didn’t get any confirmation that they have received it. After one week, I checked my portal and saw my letter of introduction. The next day I went to Vfs to collect my passport without any evidence to prove that it was ready. The person in charge asked me for the confirmation email I told him I didn’t get but that I already saw my introduction letter on my portal which means my passport has been stamped. Then he used my name and DOB to search for my passport and found it. Pls tell your wife to go there and ask them for it. It should be ready.

I collected mine after 5 days without tracking number. Sometimes it’s an oversight. If it’s more than a week you can call or visit their office to check if it’s ready

Thank you

Smiles...

My response is still same.

1. She does not need to pay the balance before you are attended to - as far her study permit is still current/valid and not out of status.

2. You can do upfront medical if you haven't done one before in the last 5 years. IRCC has anew regulations when it comes to medical. If you have done medical in the last 5years, inmost cases you are not required to medical again unless of course you are going to be working in the health sector.

For medical, you can read more from the link here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/medical-police/medical-exams.html

Hope this helps!

God will crown all our efforts and good deeds!

Hope this helps!
