For Paper applicants who linked their application, I have a question...…

Since I linked my paper application, the status of that application on my account home page has been showing submitted. Is it normal?
Will it ever go to processing or would that be the next time there is an update?

It's normal. You majorly need to be checking on the full application status. If there is any message or new stuff, the status will change from Submitted to Updated. And once you read the message, it changes back to Submitted

So what was the reason for refusal? Is this also a study permit with sowp?

I was just going through old pages on this thread. What do you guys think about this LICO values for proof of funds. Obviously this applicant did not receive approval based on LICO. I think it has to do with the applicant's current financial situation.

That has always been my thinking as well.

Do you think having a good job with good pay (Part time) as the host in Canada also solidifies the financial part of the SOWP application? (e.g A host receiving close to $2000 a month)

Or do they just consider how much the principal applicant declares as proof of funds?
