Jeboy:
To solve your wife TEER is very easy. The job offer she has should have her managers name, contact email or number and business name with address. Let the job offer state the job role and the job descriptions with the pay either per year or per hour. Also, the job type (wether it's full time or part time). Note that the minimum standard for full time job is at least 30hours per week by IRCC. Then Look for the closest NOC code that aligns with that job offer from TEER 0 to 5 and state it in your application but it is not about what you say, its about the validity of everything you attached. Also show her pay stub and tax from Canada if possible with her bank statement.

And if her pgwp is expiring soon don't be afraid, IRCC have been giving extension to pgwp holders recently so far you have a job offer by a Canadian business. Don't be in a hurry to submit an incomplete documents in your application. Do your due diligence.

It’s PPR guys!!

SOWP application was initially submitted in July, but was withdrawn due to personal reasons. It was resubmitted Dec 2 and approved Dec 13. It was really unexpected to be that fast.

Thank God

Why did you say this🙄🙄🙄

Feliwalt12:
Good morning everyone and happy new year. God bless all those that have been contributing positively to this forum. I am gathering my documents to apply for SOWP, my husband just left this January and we want to apply for me very soon. My question is do we have to show two proof of funds? Or I can use my own personal account to show the required funds without adding his. Also, how much do I have to show as spouse alone, no kids yet. Thank you as I await your response. Bobomaigida I am also anticipating a repose from you please

Bobomaigida:
Congratulations, if you have all the required funds in your account that will be better, but it does not stop you from showing the two accounts so long as they funded, and you can justify the sources of funds with documents.

The minimum you will need will be $7,555 CAD broken down

Living exp = $5,055
Flight Fee = $1,500
Exigencies =$1,000

Using XE converter today that translate to N8,031,581 so you need to show a minimum of this amount and then explain how you raised the funds.

I think it's more complicated and I think you can learn from my mistake. I had more than this amount when Naira was more valuable and it was refused.

Factor to look at:

1) Have you used the same account to do PoF before? If yes, the VO will consider the amount remaining to be spent for the student already in Canada and deduct it from this amount 1st to know how much is available for the couple that is joining the principal applicant that is a student. You are only free from this if you used a different account for the principal applicant (student) when they are applying.

2) How long is the principal applicant visa. In my own case, we just got an approval extension from a year to 2 yrs course so the financial requirement for PoF technically also should rise.

Pls consider these two factors when putting up PoF for SOWP else those guys will be waiting to screw you up.

So the more fund you can show from both sides that takes care of both bills, the better.

Ifetech4u:
Good morning sir,my Wife got job as a Registered Nurse in Canada, though about to start process her visa application and she live outside Canada,but i planned to join her later after she might have settle.Pls what type of permit will I apply if i want to join her later ?,and Do i need prove of Fund when applying for the particular permit ?, and how much should I have in my account before I apply.Thanks.

Jeboy:
If she has a job offer with full job description, has pay slips, can print bank statement, works full time (at least 30 hrs a week) with a valid work permit, you are entitled to a spouse open work permit (sowp).

All foreign worker in Canada hold temporal permit so you will need home ties in terms of jobs, church position, business, family members, land/shares investment etc in Nigeria to show that after the duration of your work via sowp, you will not have any issues to return home because you have investments. THIS IS VERY CRITICAL TO GETTING APPROVED!

You will also need small PoF (you can check the PoF amount on IRCC website for living expenses) based on the year you re applying for...for instance if she holds a one, two or three year work permit...have something reasonable that if in those years ..in case you dont have a job, that money will sustain you. The PoF should only be for you and your wife can also show it...it doesnt mean it must come from you. But if that is the case, she will also get an immigration letter to state that.

I really dont blame the West for ensuing these process, that's how they ensure responsible society for all to live well but here in Nigeria, we born anyhow, give all our money to church and other things and now say God go provide on zero level. In the West, your bank statement must provide 1st before you talk about God.

Good evening everyone, please can someone shed more light on this refusal:

Thank you for your interest in working in Canada. After careful review of your work permit application and supporting documentation under the International Mobility Program, I have determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). I am refusing your application on the following grounds:
• I am not satisfied that your spouse has provided sufficient proof of funds to support your family’s stay in Canada. Additionally, I am not satisfied you have sufficient funds to support your stay in Canada. Refused under R200(1)(b)

Showed 20m as POF,all lump sum in the account explained

Jeboy:
If you are using same account your student hubby used as PoF, then calculate what is left on his school fees first and his living expenses before adding what should be your own living expenses.

Ideally have between 20k to 25k CAD in total fund from you and your hubby statement. That's my opinion. Read my analysis up there under Bobomaigida comment.

Thank you Jeboy. He is on a two years Masters program. Thank you for your contribution, well understood. We hope to get it at a first trial.

Temas:
Sorry for your refusal, mind sharing your family size? what portion of the 20m was in your account and your spouse account

shayubobo:
Family of one. All the funds was put in my account..(savings and salary account). Spouse didn't show his account,i was told it's not needed

Bobomaigida:
Hi Shayu, Please how did you explain the lump sum? Also the spouse that did not show his account is that the student?

Temas:
Sorry for your refusal, mind sharing your family size? what portion of the 20m was in your account and your spouse account

Nuellabeauty:
Yes the spouse who is a student didn't show account. Lump sum was from investment and all the investment documents submitted with a separate explanation on how it was accumulated

Ifetech4u:
Thanks for your response.She will be traveling with the kids,so how else can I show home ties in terms of Family?

Bobomaigida:
I suspect that the processing officer did not accept the explanation for the funds, a lot of things could have been flagged, I will suggest you request for your notes and tackle the reasons stated.

Just to chip in on POF backed by investment, some VOs will look at the earnings of the owner to gauge the capacity to raise the investment funds, if the earnings are not so strong then the ability to have raised the huge investment funds will be called into question.
