Good day everyone, I’m currently drafting my sop for sp for me and Sowp for my spouse and vv for my kids. I’m stating that my I want my hubby to accompany me to assist me to settle down with the kids and that he’ll be back to the country. And he’ll be visiting from time to time while I’m there. Do I apply for sowp or vv with this explanation? Please help. I’m kinda confused. Thank you for your help. |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Goldentony2nice: 4:56pm On May 08, 2023 |
I suggest you avoid stating that your husband will be back in the country. The visa to apply for him is SOWP. It’s practically for him to get a job and work in Canada. Therefore it is better to talk about his Eligibility and that in addition to helping you and the kids settle, he will be working through out the period of your study permit duration. It’s an advantage if your husband is the sponsor. Just show enough home ties and the necessary funding. Also show proof of relationship, proof of your schooling, tuition payment etc, proof of parentage of your kids. Have good documents checklist. I am positive you will get approved! How old are your Kids? You determine their own Visas by their ages. Ammykorr: 1 Like |

Thanks for your response. I’ve some concerns. He has a paid job here. Stating he’ll be working in Canada means he’ll be quitting his job here. Is that not a red flag? Goldentony2nice: |

Eje18: They will have to confirm if their program is upto 8 months without break? If it is? they can get a confirmation from the school stating that it's a full time program. Then re-launch! I don't want to believe it is because it is a private school. So long as it is a DLI and more than 8 Months full time. I think they qualify. Also, it appears some courses do not qualify or even though the institution is a DLI. Let them just clarify with the school and refire. My thoughts though...The gurus can assist too. |

You have 3 options. 1/ To travel with your husband now. 2/ for him to join you at a later date. 3/ for him to remain in Nigeria all through. If you will be traveling with him now or later, he has to spend time with you and truly assist you settle and focus on your studies. In doing this, he would not be staying idle; he will get a job and the job will generate income which is a plus to support your finances. The job he will quit in Nigeria is the “opportunity cost” just to be with you; he has to forgo it. You have to give a compelling explanation. Don’t put too much relevance on his present job, rather show optimism and excitement about how having him would make your stay and study better. Also talk about what you guys plan to do when you return home after your experiences and studies. If I can remember from your posts, you guys run a business as well which can be used as home tie. The purpose of the visa he should be applying for is for him to be with spouse(you) and work anywhere in Canada. That’s why it’s called Spouse Open Work Permit. The visa officer will not accept Visit Visa for a spouse in this instance. You have to make up your mind on which of the above mentioned options you want. Cheers! Ammykorr: 1 Like |

Eje18: The person needs to be more careful. Hope you are aware that schools can be a DLI but without qualifying the student for even PGWP let alone the spouse for SOWP? This anomaly is common with private schools even with DLI. E.g. OCMT in Ontario. If not satisfied, it is better to apply to a public school now, otherwise the student self will have to return immediately on program completion except he quickly applies to get admission into a public school or get a job while in Canada which is rare. Please don't say we were not advised o. Best wishes. |

I welcome my family to Canada on Sunday. The procedure is seamless. At the CBSA, they requested my means of identification from my wife and inquired how long I had been here. To everyone waiting to unite with their family, I wish you all good news soonest. We shall reap the good fruits of this Canada in Jesus' name. 4 Likes |

Please house, I am about applying for SOWP for my husband and kids; I will be done with school in a month's time. please, what should be my main explanation to the VO to bring my family, especially now that I am about graduating. My initial reason was to say, I need them for emotional support so I can concentrate on my studies. I have a full time job in a Teer 2 code already. Truth is, I could not apply for them earlier because of POF |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Damysa(f): 11:30am On May 10, 2023 |
Congratulations!! I tap into your grace. The document you submitted, did you arrange them in the order in which you wrote them out here under client information. I am thinking how best to arrange my documents to tell my story better. Also, what reasons did you and your wife give to reunite, especially because you have finished school. Please anyone with suggestions can also chime in. Thank you buzzme: |

Hello Nairalanders, I'm an international student in Canada, my husband is in the UK and we are about to begin his SOWP application to join me in Canada. The issue is that his passport is expiring December 2nd. We tried renewing, but the earliest available date for his biometrics is July ending. Do you advise we go ahead with his visa application so that he can renew his passport when he gets to Canada? Thank you and God bless! |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Omenogoruche: 5:57pm On May 10, 2023 |
I called IRCC today and I was told my background check, biometric, medical have been completed and passed. But I'm surprised eligibility has not started. What could be the reason? |

Well I will advise he renew it in the UK. Renewing passport in canada is not for the faint hearted. I am in the process of renewing mine here in Canada, the earliest available date is August. Am even thinking of gate crashing there soon, cos I need to apply for my PGWP and my passport is expiring soon. He should tell them he needs to use it to regularize his status and that it is urgent. call /send them a mail. ade279: 1 Like |
