Thank you very much. I will go ahead to request for the GCMS notes.
I also specified that I will be financially independent and not put a financial burden on my spouse.
I didn't add my spouse account as I didn't want to complicate my application. So I put my application in a way it depicts that my spouse will be independent
of me and my POF will be ok for me ONLY.
So, I hope you didn't write that you will support your spouse financially because 15k is ok if You ask me |

Hello Ianian, please did you had to submit your spouse Statement of account, together with your Statement of account when you applied? Because I just got rejected with the following reason; “My spouse did not provide sufficient fund that will support my stay in Canada, and I have not submitted sufficient fund that will support my stay”. When he applied his statement had his school fees plus 20k CAD. I applied using only my statement and I had above 15k CAD going by the rate at that time.
Please what were the documents you submitted?
I used 8.4k usd which was 11.2k cad, got approved for sowp March 2024. Going by 16m naira, it might be enough. Koko is the source of the money |

Yes, I have other documents to show home ties, land pension and the likes. I am also trying not to have a lump sum, that is why I would prefer to stick with what I have. I just want to know if there is a required amount one should have in CAD. Jeboy:
Exchange rate is crazy now, 16m Naira is just about 13k CAD. Practically assume you are not able to secure a job for a year or more will that money be okay for you?
If that is what you have then give it a shot but 20m to 25m would have put you in safe zone. Hope you know PoF is just one of the criteria, you need other proof of home ties. |

Hello Jeboy, Please I just want a little more clarity. What should be the minimum amount if I am to use my person account as POF to apply for SOWP under my Spouses Student permit. His SP is for 2 years and he started this January. Will 16mln be enough to show my personal POF without using my Spouses account statement? Jeboy:
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. |
