This is enough. What you need is 14K, assuming you are outside Quebec.

Just explain in your LOE that you understand that the minimum requirement is 14K, and you have excess of that, shikena.

Do the calculation in your letter like you have done now.

If you have more money, that's better.

Best of luck.

My wife and I would be applying for study permit and SOWP respectively.

She got a funding of $20,000
Tuition and fees are $9,260
Living expense for her is: $20,000 –$9,260= $10,740
I have POF of $6,100

Total POF= $16,840

She has a job with a running salary already.


Is it enough to apply together? Someone told me we should have at least $18,000 to apply comfortably.

What date in December did you apply?
Have you gotten a decision?
LadyBlaq:

Yes, eligibility review started on 24th of January. I don't want to send mails to them any more. It will surely end in praise ooo, I remain very hopeful. Thank you.

You're not the only one. I applied for SOWP since February last year and visitor’s visa since October.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by babybless44: 6:15pm On Feb 02, 2022
My dear, I applied since April 2021.
Please House, who also applied in April or earlier?

Please i want to know. When sending passport for family. Do you put everything in one envelope and pay for delivery for just 1 envelope. Or you put each person documents in different envelope and pay for delivery for each of the envelope.

Thanks

DeeWan:
Thank you bro for the advise
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by FYsol: 8:55pm On Feb 02, 2022
You can put everything in one envelope whilst sending but you must pay for each for the return.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by dorisabid: 2:35am On Feb 03, 2022
Thanks. But what if i pay dhl 2-way courier. Will i be asked to pay for their own courier again? because they seem to make it compulsory to use their courier to deliver back.

Hi all please what is your advise as per the link below for proof of funds

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/proof-funds.html

For someone who came to Canada with 3 years work permit and now eligible to apply for PR after 1 year of work .
If applying under CEC or FSW, must the person show proof of funds or not ?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by impeccablerose: 4:50am On Feb 03, 2022
FSW requires that you show proof of funds but CEC does not. If the 1 year of Canadian work experience is in a qualifying NOC for express entry, then he/she can apply via CEC.

Like skull4eva mentioned, after the first two members, each additional family member is 3000

I am grateful for this assurance. Thank you
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by FYsol: 7:57am On Feb 03, 2022
I used DHL to send to them but I had to pay them for each person for a family of 5 for the return. I guess you can pay DHL for the return but I don't know how it works.

Hi nairalanders, PLEASE HELP ooo my spouse applied for OWP but no update yet. My program and visa will expire in April 2022 and I have gotten a new LOA for another program. I want to apply for study permit extension this week. Do I mention OWP’s pending application in my study permit extension sop or OWP should send a webform with my new LOA and inform IRCC I am applying for an extension.

I am wondering since my current visa is less than 3 months and OWP application is still pending decision, what steps do I take before submitting study extension or after submitting study extension.

Thank you.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by technix: 7:23pm On Feb 03, 2022
I would advise you submit your study permit extension (you may mention your spouse's OWP if you want).

Then for spouse: under his own application, upload your evidence of application for study permit extension through webform.

If your permit extension is approved before his OWP, again, upload your new study permit through webform.

@rheene009 this is exactly what you should do.
Pray that the study permit extension comes in as soon as possible so as to update the OWP application.

CIC wont grant OWP when the primary client has 3 months of validity left.

I would advise that you either wait for the SOWP or withdraw it and reapply with your student permit.

Wait for the SOWP do you mean i should also inform IRCC about my study extension application? I plan not to withdraw because starting all over again and the waiting time is scary. In the attachment you posted it's mentioned i can link my spouse application when seeking extension. I'm a bit confused. I would appreciate if you can explain if you don't mind. Thank you.

@rheene009

Something just came up, looking at the screenshot. In addition to what you planned to do, once you apply for the renewal, try and see if you can link your spouse's application to it. There is an option for linking account at the bottom of your IRCC portal when you log in. It works for paper applications, maybe it could work for this.

Not sure when my upfront medicals was updated ( I worked with an immigration lawyer who submitted application on my behalf).

God speed to everyone waiting and I hope my timeline encourages you as well.. it will happen earlier than you think by God's grace.
