ChineduOC: Hi Chinedu, You can open a new account for your wife and apply for her or you can apply through your own gckey. After filling the information you will see a space to upload the invitation letter else you merge it with the other documents and upload in optional documents section. Scroll back few pages back you will see the list of documents you will need. I'd suggest you apply for Spousal open work permit because in the recent times we haven't seen any approval for visit visa, however many persons here got work permit for spouse approved. For the processing time, you can check the ircc site, however from the recent trend, approval comes in average 3/4months now. But if you decide to apply for the visit visa on the new portal, they said 12weeks processing time. But the refusal rate is high. All the best. |

Individual85: Her mom can sponsor her and no it is not a third party sponsor (parents and spouse aren't third party sponsorship). However, it's best the spouse has some funds in his account and show he is capable of financially caring for himself and the kids while the wife is away. She can apply for you as a spouse, I don't think there is any issue because she was sponsored by her mom. When you eventually wants to apply for work permit, yes you need to have funds in your account. |

Good day all, please help to answer this quote author=lizzygurl post=116814230]Good day guys, for a spouse open work permit, who should have the bulk of the funds? Student (currently in Canada): cad2000$ in a Canadian bank Us500$ in a Nigerian Dorm Spouse: #12.8m naira in a Nigerian account I used sponsorship from my parents for the proof of funds I used for my study visa. Currently studying in a college (1yr course) Do you think the spouse open work permit has a high chance of being approved[/quote] |

SweetJJ:Thanks. If my wife comes here with an SOWP Visa and leaves in 1 month. Will that cause any problem? Can she be going in and out with it like visitor's visa? She's engaged in Nigeria with our family business. Is SOWP multiple entry visa like visitor's visa? Must she work with her SOWP? |

I have a friend who just got her student visa approved. She is planing to resume in January. And she want her husband to join her same time via visitor status.Is this a good idea The husband is planning to put in his application if he can get response before January. |

I was also checking if someone decides to process SOWP from outside of Canada. I noticed processing time from Nigeria - work permit is 58weeks. If you have a spouse doing 1 year process, the person already graduated. |

This is of the believe visit visa seems to be faster than SOWP. Moreso, when the spouse gets in. they can now put in incanda SOWP. skull4eva: |

Skull4eva, Thanks for always answering my questions. Please I want to ask you one more important question. I just submitted my SOWP application two days ago. My question. I have one VV application that still running since 2020 and is yet to be finalized, Please what will happen? Should I raise a web form for cancellation of the VV or they will cancel by themselves? I will appreciate your prompt response. Thank you skull4eva: |

Hello everyone, Trust you're all well. Please I need your advice/suggestion. I recently received my student visa and plan to travel in December. While applying for study visa, I stated in the family section of the form that I will travel alone and used my family as home. My agent told me last week that I have to wait till after Imy graduation before I can apply SOWP for my spouse and for daughter. What should I do? Thanks for the anticipated responses. 1 Like |

jogazino: Although dual intent is allowed but that is if the two application is temporary and permanent streams. But for you VV and sowp they are both Temporary resident visa (TRV). Haven said that, i will advise u leave both applications running as far as the UCI are connected once the VV is attended to the sowp will most likely visited simultaneaously then IRCC will cancel the visit themselves and approve the sowp. 2 Likes |

Lawfulness: I have always advocated that we should desist from using our nuclear family as hometies. It is better to use job, business, landed properties and assets as well as aged parents. This is how it works whatever u use as hometies is used as a suretee that after your program you will return. Although they also understand that one can change his or her mind after study to stay but during the duration of study the home tie should be there. Now if it is job or business or assets you dont need to take them to canada just sell them off or cancel whatever bond. Now that it is ur family the age might be absolutely right but there might still be ways of escape and this basically depends on your story and present determinations 5 Likes |

Thank you so much. You are usually right. My VV was was given attention today and simultaneously my sowp application was also updated with my biometric and UCI number which was not provided before when I submitted. On the VV I was ask to submit Appliction for a temporary resident form IMM5257b with a deadline 12 October but on my new application SOWP all these has being submitted accordingly. Please what is your best advise to the present request from IRCC? skull4eva: |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Lawfulness: 9:53pm On Sep 22, 2022 |
Thank you @skull4eva for taking your time to respond. As at the time of applying, we were all comfortable with me going first for study and my family coming later. But now I feel like I'm abandoning my family to relocate abroad.But if I have to complete my study before they come, I will have to find a way to deal with it. Note also that apart from family, job and land were also used as hometies. skull4eva: |

No, you don't have to. You will be required to sign with with your name when you want to submit your application; that will cover every signature page. Best wishes! Iyin2017: |

jogazino: I will advice u fill up the form and submit via email or webform if there was no space created for a upload on ur application portal |

Iyin2017:U dont need to sign oooo. U have to fill it up electronically. |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by skull4eva: 2:46am On Sep 24, 2022 |
Jeffi7: Let me answer few of ur questions 2. Proof of funds for you is 5k and each child is 3k so you will need 14k for you and the kids. Also your spouse must show proof of tuition payment for the current term and some money she is using to cater for living expenses. 3. You can use any gckey. Although creating a new one looks ideal but even those that used the old one also got lots of approvals 4. Family reunification is a good enough reason with different branches based on ur story. 3 Likes |

skull4eva: SOWP takes too long if applying from Nigeria. Check average processing time for work permit from Nigeria. As at this morning, it is 57 weeks. It is better to apply for a temporary visa and then when you are in Canada you apply for SOWP. @ehiremen2002 |

olowoba2:IRCC will redirect you to apply for SOWP visa which is still appropriate for you and it is still temporary. |
