10k may not be enough. it all depends on the family size. 10k for POF is not suitable for a family of 4 or 5, but I guess for a family of 2-3.

Hope the gurus @Makano, Skull4eva, and others give more attention to your question.

It’s a family of two. Thanks so much for shielding more light.

Hi everyone

Thanks for the good job you are all doing here

Please I'm Student Visa holder and trying to complete imm1294 form for my dependent child Study Permit.

What do I enter as school and level in the Details of Intended Study in Canada column? Asking because my child hasn't been admitted to any school yet and still back home in Nigeria

How old is the child?

Children must be 6yrs and above before they are admissible in Canada. If the child is less than 6yrs, then you have to apply for Visit Visa. However, if more than 6yrs, then you have to use your school details for the child as well.

Put 'Not Applicable'.

It's an open study permit.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by technix: 4:45pm On Feb 15, 2023
Lol. No.

What's the essence of the biometrics in the first place? Ask the agent why biometrics is usually done.

Your uncle should be careful of such agent.

Bible1997:

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by DrAFOguns: 8:12pm On Feb 15, 2023
This agent seems not to know what he/she is doing.

Your uncle's application cannot be processed without biometrics.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Sundjata: 3:52pm On Feb 17, 2023
Another week is gone without any feedback from IRCC. This is so crazy. Are these people just waiting until they hear that one's marriage has finally broken down due to over a year of not seeing each other? Can't IRCC just try and understand what we are going through? Must they waste their time drinking coffee while pretending to be reviewing applications? I feel so overwhelmingly sad right now. The depression is crushing.

I really wish they understand how depressing and frustrating it can be. I’ve to pet my spouse almost everyday, it’s tiring. There was a news visitor visa will be cleared by February, with the look of things, no improvement at all. Family reunification (spouse/children) shouldn’t be dragging this long at all.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by OkukuOne(m): 1:57pm On Feb 18, 2023
I may have not understood your last question. However, let me say it this way.

Since you are applying for SOWP for your spouse and your kids, kindly show POF that will cover 3 of them. The minimum of (4k +6k). Also, I will advise you to have money for miscellaneous - another 3-4k, and tickets to and fro for all the family members.

The said money above is different from yours. I do not know your status. if you have already travelled or planning to travel shortly.

1. If you have travelled, then it's a bit easier, because the $10k for your upkeep for a year may not be considered any longer. But I will advise you to show POF that is way above the minimum. Too much POF is also not bad.

2. If you haven't then, you have to make provisions for your upkeep, tuition and spouse, and kids.

In all, try to always meet the minimum req'ment and have a little surplus

Lastly, the above is my own analogy, the gurus in the house can help with more info if I missed any.


Good luck!

Thank you, once again

What I was trying to ask this.

Let's take an example of a family of dependents with a total proof of funds of say 20k.

While filling the IMM1294 form for minor's study permit, should I add a part of the 20k (like 3k) that will be sufficient for that particular dependent or put the whole 20k that has been budgeted for the whole family?

Yes, put 3k on that section of dependent and not the whole funds, but your POF should show all.
