Please guys, I need advice.

Someone sent me a medical result that showed this.

Grading: B Grading
The applicant was noted to have a deranged creatinine level with an eGFR indicating moderately reduced
kidney function while urinalysis was normal. Her general examination was satisfactory, her vital signs
were within normal ranges, she had no cardiac symptoms, and can perform her activities of daily living
independently. Chest x-ray was normal.
502 Chest X-ray Examination



Kidney not performing optimally. It might be a transient issue, go for an extra check-up with your personal doctor. With respect to immigration/ spousal sponsorship, I don't think this a deal breaker. I would be worried only if it is communicable disease.. HIV, Hepatitis, TB, , STI, and stuffs like that

Please what does this mean and can impact her medicals?

Good day everyone, I am an I ternational student in Canada who started September 2023 on a fully funded scholarship. With my passport expiring in march 2025, I will have to apply for extension say middle of next year. However, I want to make my husband's SOWP application. So i have some questions
How much would be needed for proof of fund for him?
How much would I also need to show in my Canadian bank account?
Do I also need to show my pay slips from my workplace in Nigeria as I still receive salary?
Do I need to wait until I am applying for study permit extension to make his application or I can do it now? Thank you.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by OkukuOne(m): 3:30pm On Sep 11, 2023
Send emails and web forms continuously every other day and I pray you get asnwer shortly. I completely understasnd the frustration, but be prayerful and it will surely come to pass in God's time.

As for the medicals, it may be uploaded same time you get your approval. So don't worry about the uploads. Pray to get approvals, sometimes, all are uploaded same time.


Good luck!

How much would be needed for proof of fund for him? Read the thread from page 1
How much would I also need to show in my Canadian bank account? You can provide POF from and a bank in Nigeria or Canada. Where you provide it from is not an issue.
Do I also need to show my pay slips from my workplace in Nigeria as I still receive salary? Yes, but is not mandatory but it makes your application stronger.
Do I need to wait until I am applying for study permit extension to make his application or I can do it now? No, you can apply for him now if you have the appropriate POF as stipulated by IRCC on their website.

Good luck!

Thank you.

Securing a notarized letter of invitation for a spouse in Canada is a specific process designed to meet the stringent requirements of Canadian immigration authorities. To accomplish this, one must start by drafting a formal Invitation Letter to the spouse, meticulously including essential details like the spouse's information, financial arrangements, trip specifics, and contact information, including mobile numbers and the Canadian address. Once the letter is carefully composed, it must undergo notarization, a crucial step in the procedure. This entails a visit to a notary public or a commissioner of oaths, who will validate your identity, witness your signature on the letter, and may request additional identification documents. The notary will then affix their seal and signature to the document, enhancing its authenticity. Following notarization, the letter should be scanned and transmitted to the spouse, regardless of their current residence or location of application.

In summary, securing a notarized invitation letter for a spouse's visit to Canada involves a systematic approach. It commences with the creation of a formal letter containing comprehensive spouse details, financial information, travel specifics, and contact data. Subsequently, the letter is subjected to notarization through a notary public or commissioner of oaths, where the notary verifies your identity, witnesses your signature, and provides their seal and signature to the letter. The document's notarization ensures its legal credibility, after which it can be digitally transmitted to the spouse, regardless of their residence or application location.

Good luck!

Abbas pikin,

When completing the USE OF FAMILY REPRESENTATIVE FORM for your application under the SOWP program, you generally do not need to provide your husband's details again if he is already in Canada and you are the principal applicant. The purpose of this form is primarily to declare your family members who are not in Canada and who may be accompanying you to Canada as dependents (i.e. like your son or 4yrs old child).


Good luck!

pristinee:


What I can advice here is, use your own account as POF, not your husband that is a student, but u, going on work permit.

For other question, other ppl that know more about it will come around to give clarity.

The main concern about using my account as proof of fund is that someone is borrowing us money in CAD, so changing it to naira and then transferring money in bulk to my account Amy raise suspicions. Also, it seems safer to present a Canadian account than naira account because of the ever changing exchange rate of the Naira to CAD....I hope I'm making sense

Dear Gurus/experienced in da house,
Pls I need your assistance
I recently got my study permit approved. In my application, I stated that my hubby and 2kids will not be joining me. But now I want to apply for them.
How do I go about it?
1. Should I apply for VV for them
2. Or SOWP for hubby and SP for both kids aged 10 & 6
I need to know which option is most preferable
3. Will the application be done from my husband’s profile or I should use mine

What you need to work on is the source of the money, proof to the VO that the money is not borrowed. Whether the account is in Naira or CAD, what matter most is prove the source of the funds.

Thank you so much @OkukuOne. Please I have another question, what will be my explanation for applying for SOWP and SP. Cos I was thinking for VV I could just explain that I need them to visit me since I’m doing a one year course. My husband doesn’t really want to stay for now as he’s engaged in Naija.
Secondly I saw that VV is faster in processing time than SOWP.

Please advise 🙏🏽

It depends on what you and your husband want. It seems you want your Husband to come and join you and he just want to visit you. If it's for visiting alone, he can apply for VV.
Cheers.
