Yes you will pay for transmission fee. Thank your stars you met an experienced staff at the Courier company. Some will just collect without checking if you did the right thing and package for delivery and before you know it...VFS with their poor customer service delivery will return your package to you without telling you what's amiss.

Hi. In what cases do they require payment of this transmission fees? Don’t recall making such payment.

Full tuition fees or first semester tuition fees?

You can send them message through webform

Is your husband used the bank statement he used for his own study visa applied for you and the kids? If yes maybe that's why you are asked to provide his tution fees receipt

People that travelled with kids on visit visa. Did you need to purchase a round trip ticket for the kids?

Ethiopian airlines refused boarding until a second leg was purchased for the infant

Ethiopian airline just did the same thing.

I had to buy a ticket before they were allowed to board.

I will be cancelling the ticket after they arrive.


I suggest you buy a refundable ticket for the return leg. And it is only applicable to the VV holder.

They left an hour ago.

Study visa will not require return tickets.

For the child on VV, don’t buy the ticket until the morning of departure. I used a $CAD credit card.

I bought it this morning because all airlines allow you to cancel any flight you buy within 24 hours of purchase.

As soon as they let them through, I cancelled it.

In my case the VV was 1 year old, so I bought an adult ticket and added her as infant.

Good luck.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by patbaba3: 4:52pm On Oct 27, 2023
Please for the SOWP and kid study visas applicant, do they also send letter of introduction to them that they will present at the port of entry or its just the main applicant that it will be sent to.

Hi Everyone,

my name is Chiamaka, currently an international student in Canada.

Please I need your advice and guideline on SOWP and SV for my kids (7,5,3yrs).

Actually, we had submitted my family application but it was refused on the grounds of insufficient fund.
Our POF was 15m. we used an immigration consultant for the first application that was refused but now I want to do it on my own.

Please, I need every assistance so as to get it right this time around

Thank you

Hi claracee ,
I am in the same sit as you. I applied by myself and 3 kids. But my SOWP and SV for my 3 kids were rejected on grounds of insufficient funds. Interestingly, I showed a POF of 52,000 CAD (Fifty two thousand CAD).

Have you been able to reapply and did u succeed yet?.

Please let me know

Hello everyone, SOWP & VV for my son was refused. they mentioed that i applied under international mobility program. i dont know what that is cos i applied for SOWP. i didnt add my statement of account and i am still in Nigeria. kindly advise.

Hi Terminalia,

You are not alone in this. I applied on september 14 and got refused same day as you (October 24, 2023).
Coincidentally, I was rejected with same reasons as you.

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as required by
paragraph 200(1)(b) of the IRPR (https://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2002-227/
section-200.html). I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will
leave Canada, based on the following factors:
• 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


I don't fully comprehend the rejection reason no. 1.
Are points 1 and 2 related? Does this mean solely a proof of fund issue?

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by dearie(m): 10:28pm On Oct 28, 2023
Please under what category do you fill upfront medical application for SOWP for spouse and Study visit for kids? There is no option for work permit, so someone is advising I choose family migrant/ sponsorship, that the category doesn't really matter? Please can you guys advise??
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by AskGod07: 4:16am On Oct 29, 2023
Migrant/Sponsorship better still email IOM to schedule you for preferred date for upfront medical.

Good day everyone! Please I need an urgent reply.
Can I apply for SOWP for my spouse and SV/VV for my kids when my study permit is expiring in April 2024? Cos I heard it has to be 6months on it and I was already granted extension before but will be done with my studies in that same April 2024.

Thank you!
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by sainaF: 5:02pm On Oct 30, 2023
Study permit should have more than 6 months cos thats the same validity they will hive ur sowp. So better to apply for ur pgwp first.
