Good day my people. I’m already here in Canada, my wife applied SOWP and also VV for our son of 2 years old. My wife is working and on her statement of account she show’s balance of 3M, and also I dropped my own naira account with balance of 6M and also 1,065 usd as proof of funds.

Please is she good to go with the shown amount. Which in total ( $16,500) as at submission date.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by OkukuOne(m): 11:10pm On Aug 22, 2023
I will advise you do the maths by yourself.

1. 1st dependent (Spouse) = $4,000

2. 2nd dependent (baby) = $3,000

3. misc. (This is not written down anywhere, but this is what I usually advise close allies to consider) = $2,000

Good luck!

Good afternoon everyone.... thanks to everyone who contributes to this platform.... please I have a question, I want to apply for SOWP for myself, my husband is the one currently in Canada on study permit.....but I've previously done B1-IELTS (life skills) for UK before, do I need to do a new one for Canada or can I still use that result I got before which i passed?
Thank you in anticipation
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by OkukuOne(m): 8:19pm On Aug 23, 2023
You do not require IELTS for SOWP

Good luck!

Hello everyone, please I intend to apply for sowp and visitor’s visa for my baby. However I am currently in the express entry pool, do I need to delete my express entry profile so it doesn’t count as double intent?
Secondly the Pof I intend to use is mutual funds account which is a joint account with my husband and also my husband’s bank statement. Will this be okay or should I redeem the funds in the joint account to my personal salary account. Is it advisable to use our four mutual fund statements, or i should redeem from three and collapse into one. The investment accounts are funded monthly from our salary account. Please advise.

Hello House,

I sent my passport through Lagos VFS on Thursday 17th Aug 2023, i got mail notification. The last email i received from VFS was on friday which says that my passport has been received at the Canada Visa Application Centre, Abuja OC on Fri Aug 18 2023 and is in transit to the IRCC Office in Abuja OC for processing. From that time till now, i have not received any other mail notification. Who else is in this situation? What can i do to get the exact location. I have also tracked on VFS tracker and the information on it is similar to what i have above.

How long will it take my passport to get to IRCC? Should i be worried?

Thanks.

My people, please help a brother. I submitted SOWP application for myself, SP and VV for my kids on the 21st of July. I did upfront medical and submitted with application. Till now it has not been updated. I noticed review of eligibility commenced two day ago. The problem is, I cannot view the status of the application on IRCC tracker and I don't have peace of mind about it. Kindly help a brother my people.

No need to redeem and collapse the mutual funds accou t into ur personal account so u dont have to start explaing why theres a lump sum paid in ur account...

U can scaN the statement of all four accounts and send to them..just ensure the stamentns shows the past 4-5months transactions..

We are in the same boat.

I believe this is their new way of processing applications. Everything will be uploaded on the same day as the PPR by God’s grace. I have seen two similar cases.

Let's just chill and keep our hopes high.

I have not been settled since that time. I actually expected to be receiving messages daily as to where the passport currently is. Both offices are within Abuja, so i am worried about what could cause the delay.

This people are not that organised and can forget to send mails at times, saying from a friend's experience. He got tired of waiting for mails and went to vfs for collection without any message, that was when he knew that his passport was ready for collection for over a week without getting any message.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by remiredo: 3:08pm On Aug 25, 2023
But he must have received mail notification from IRCC. In my situation, i am yet to get any mail notfication from IRCC. I have checked my GCKey account too but didnt see any update. The last update from VFS from 18th Aug.

My wife(student) is in express entry pool,
Me husband also in express entry pool.
She got her study permit while I got my SOWP.
We were also thinking of withdrawing our EE profile when we wanted to submit our study permit, but we just left it like that and we didn't want to make it look like we deleted the EE because of the study permit

Thank you so much for responding to my question. I've already read through several pages from the start but can't find an answer to the question I asked.

Guess I'll have to scroll through more pages. Once again, thanks.

Good day my people. I’m already here in Canada, my wife applied SOWP and also VV for our son of 2 years old. My wife is working and on her statement of account she show’s balance of 3M, and also I dropped my own naira account with balance of 6M and also 1,065 usd as proof of funds.

Please is she good to go with the shown amount. Which in total ( $16,500) as at submission date.

To be fair, the amount isn't enough. You need to increase it by another 5-10k$. For a family of 3, you need at least $22k for living expenses for a year according to IRCC website.

The global inflation + the worsening exchange rate isn't helping matters but what can one do?

I experienced it first hand when my wife & kid applied for their visas. Exchange rate was about #340 to 1CAD. A couple of weeks later, it rose to over #500. The POF we submitted was effectively halved. We had to source for more money to increase it back again.
