Hello, my son and I were asked to submit our passport today but we haven’t done medical. Anyone been in our shoes before? Pls need to know what to expect.
Final decision : your application has been approved. Please submit your passport

Congratulations!
Kindly provide list of documents submitted

Hi Tomiade, congrats on your approved trv. I think its wiser and smarter to apply after you are fully enrolled in school before submitting an application for your spouse. The probability of your spouse getting approved before your arrival is next to zero.

Also, I am sure if you try to read some 20 pages back, you would get to see documents submitted for SOWP.

Dear all Please, feel free to ask me questions about sowp, I am here to help. I also benefited from this thread greatly before landing in Canada on SOWP.

COME ON! LET'S KEEP THIS THREAD ALIVE cool

tomiade1:
Good day House, what is the possibility of getting my wife's SOWP approved with my approved TRV. I heard i would need my study permit (which would be issued at the point of entry) and a letterof enrolment from my school stating information about me and my course. But from my observation from comments here, i did not see any mention of these documents.

Thanks in Advance!

@ Markab good to know know you are now in Canada. Please I need a format of the LOE for SOWP. I've searched through this thread but it's not there.
Thanks for your prompt response.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Anonymous0611: 9:44am On Apr 07, 2018
Thanks all. I will share the document submitted soon.

The following are the documents we submitted :
The filled forms
My statement of account (note I didn’t use bank account, I used Mutual funds cos that way they just gave me a letter to the embassy. Bank account will show when you move money in and if it’s not up to 6months, they won’t trust that it is your money)
My other assurance accounts
My husband’s statement of account
His student permit
His employment letter
Letter of Explanation (got the clue from here, you have to be very emotional while writing it)
Letter from my employer
My CV
Family pictures
Deed of gift( I got my dad to transfer a property to me because our 1st application indicated rejection due to no tie)
Document of our property
We have been rejected before and funds and no ties were the main issues.
We made them understand that we both have parents alive and I go home often so we can’t abandon home.
A lot of prayers o, that the VOC that will review our documents will be in good mood.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Markab: 5:06pm On Apr 07, 2018
My side dey chief Samchi2014. I honestly understand how you feel about your application but we just have to be very patient for these guys.

Sometimes it's faster, sometime it's slower, but patience is just the key. Be prayerful (If you believe in it), then channel your energy to something more worthy of your time.

I wish you a great success in your endeavours

I think you once sent me a pm some weeks back, you didn't follow up. Search @Shola1064 post in March/April 2017. He posted his own masked LOE

I prefer people post their messages here, unsolicited PMs may not be responded to, because everyone needs to learn from the experience of others. We all have unique applications.

Thanks for your understanding.

Dear Markab please help respond to my question, refusal based on travel history and that we did not meet the lico for family of 4 which is 44,000$. how can we tackle that one.

Thank you in advance.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Markab: 3:36am On Apr 09, 2018
Hi Jimmy,

The gist is Nigerian applicants now have to fulfill LICO requirements before we can be granted visas for SOWP. I have been seeing refusals based on that since Last year and I think it has come to stay. Now, LICO is a must.

My advice: I have treated similar refusals in the past with just an increase in the available funds that is slightly above lico and approvals were gotten.

So please do same.

All the best.

Mark is right. You just have to show the money, it’s like that’s the new trend.
That was one of the reasons we were rejected at first.

Hello house,
In a bid to keep the trend lively, can all the people who have travelled with this type of visa share documents that were requested of them at the point of entry?
This will help us to further prepare. Thank you
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Markab: 11:14pm On Apr 09, 2018
No one has an idea of what the CBSA officer might ask, I mean s/he could for anything. Please prepare your mind and make sure documents are with you in your carryon luggage.

AGAIN, THEY MAY ASK FOR ANYTHING!

Goodluck

Honestly as long as you did not submit any fake documents you should be fine.. every or also all applications are properly vetted before approval so nothing to fear.. your passport. Your proof of funds if possible. And your honesty.
REMEMBER NO ONE IS OUT TO GET YOU THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ENTER CANADA EACH DAY..

the priority here is not to refuse you entry.. it’s to make sure you’re not a risk!

Hi all. I am a newbie on nairaland.
I just applied for SOWP online recently, submitted on 1st of April and biometrics on 6th of April.

My husband got a new job few days after I submitted my application, I want to know if their are ways I can inform IRCC of this changes or I should just wait till I am been asked. Thank you.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by ChrisBanksO: 4:45pm On Apr 13, 2018
Was your husband doing a job that fell within NOC O, A or B b4 you applied? If no, I advise you to cancel your application and reapply.
If he had no job b4 u applied, you should cancel as well cos these people don't look at additional documents after submission except you were requested to submit them

My husband jobs is a NOC A categories but he just moved to another company and a better position still a Noc A and a much better pay. Though his initial job pay which we used to apply is OK and above the LIcOs cut off but his new pay doubles and I feel might help the application better. Thank you

Nice. If you want to update his job, you could use the case enquiry link below but I doubt if the Visa officer is gonna look at it cos they process what was initially submitted. You are definitely fine since ur hubby had a Noc A job b4 u applied. It doesn't hurt, you could go ahead and update.
