I carefully noticed this kind of issued using same POF for PA Student and later used it for swop don't usually fly, or better SOWP should show more fund in his/her bank statement to support the POF

Yes, it is the same proof of funds I used to apply for her. The money is in my DOM Account dough. What do you think?

Thanks for your response, it's helpful.
Do you mean I should add more money to the account? or should I use another account?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Jeboy(m): 8:11pm On Nov 01, 2023
There are two ways to go about it.

1) Either you use a different pof for your own SOWP application after your spouse study visa has been earlier approved

Or

2) Use same pof but proof that same account you are showing (steadily 4months or above) can cater for both the already study visa approved applicant and you the SOWP applicant. This is what I did in my case. I used excel template to do budget cost for both applicant and show them how my pof is enough. Not doing is inviting refusal base on financial incapacity.

Good evening good people here.
IRCC refused my application today and reason is ‘I do not provide sufficient information to demonstrate that my wife is a full-time student in a qualifying program at a DLI in Canada’.
Though while I was applying, I could not compress all my supporting documents into 4MB under clients’ information so I divided it into 2 segments; my own supporting documents, I uploaded them inside clients’ information and my wife’s documents that was used as supporting documents inside international passport segment with a ‘table of content’ in client information segment that emphasized BOLDLY that my wife’s supporting documents was in international passport segment.
Now with this…any advice on what can be done differently
Your inputs and advice will be appreciated.
Thanks.

How long the application before refusal came? If you still have the proof of fund I will advise you to re-shoot with same documents, and try to merge, compress the documents to fit under 4mb.
Note: Make sure your spouse Student documents should be in client information

Sorry this is silly excuses

You should have used a resizer app. Seems this visa officers have no joy these days.

What are the student information of your wife did you attach? Does it include LoA (where the school DLI is captured) , Passport Page Stamp, Enrollment Letter, Student permit, SIN, School fees payment.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Sojiflex001(m): 9:39pm On Nov 01, 2023
I still have the proof of fund though it was 28m naira I used (12m as a fixed deposit and 16m as a normal deposit both on my name but had removed 6m from the 16m naira to remain 10m. Hope it can still fly like that??

Submission on the 30th of Aug. 2023. Biometrics on the 21st of September, 2023 and refusal today, Nov 1st, 2023.

If that proof of fund can still fly, my problem will now be ‘how to compress on the documents into one single file under clients information.
Any help

Don’t know about resizer app until now.
I submitted all these documents u mentioned though under international passport segment as I earlier mentioned.

I am thinking too along that line of merging all the documents together but with what application cos they are very big.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by AgEcon: 10:07pm On Nov 01, 2023
Sorry about your experience.

How big is it?

I think Adobe website can resize to a very small size without losing quality. For instance if you have a size of 10mb, you can still get the smallest size of about 3mb.

I don't expect you would have excessively big size that can't be reduced.

To use Adobe, search Google with Compress pdf. You will find Adobe among the options. If you don't have an account, you nay not be able to download. So create a free account with them.

NB: Features are limited per day. Usually a compression per day until another day.

You could be denied for any flimsy excuse, including not following their instruction. When in doubt, always ask questions. What you wrote on the table of content shows you are in doubt, and you just made the officer's job easy.

There are different free website out there to compress your file:

Good evening everyone
With much further inquiries and questions being ask from some of those who’d gotten their visas through SOWP. They are insisting that SOWP doesn’t fall under IMP that’s international mobility programmes. Which is what’s in my refusal note and another person I saw his refusal here too.
Please I want to ask is SOWP now under IMP or we are doing what’s total wrong?
Thanks for all your inputs.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Tegnaworld23: 12:33pm On Nov 05, 2023
Work on your SOP, explain details how you made every single lump sum you may have in ur account and state clearly what will definitely bring u back home make it clear. Examples, tangible business u own, family, organization possible that needs ur service and more just about anything important that tie you back home. GOOD LUCK

You should be more concern about how to proof your spouse is a full time student and not if you are qualified under IMP.

The splitting you did may have been the reason for the refusal. Probably the visa officer made the decison based on the information in the applicant's segment and didn't bother searching for the other part.
I advise that you compress and reapply.

Thank you very much! I am more concern about that but you should know when issue like that happens, many people with diverse opinions. But through my consultations, I’ve realized that it’s the split that caused it.

I have been thinking of home ties for my SOWP application, please aside from my family (mum and brother), what other options are available to explore please?

I have the C of O of our house, but it's in my late father's name, is there a way I can use it as a property to serve as tie back home?

Please help🙏
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Jeboy(m): 4:36am On Nov 08, 2023
Do a legal document of land transfer to you from your late father as inheritance. Do the current evaluation and ensure value is in millions.

Get your church or professional association to give you letter of recommendation as an active and productive member.

Write other things you relish in Nigeria that you can never get in Canada like our rich multi-tribal culture, food, weather, family orientation etc and most importantly your job or biz. You can open an emergency business name to show you run a biz in Nigeria too.

Not putting all the information in a place. There is a file they expect all those information to be and the poster (don't know if it's you) explained that it was splitted because of size constraints. That's what I guess it's been referenced here.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Jeboy(m): 4:45am On Nov 08, 2023
Please who has SOWP timeline of late August. I applied Aug 28th, medical passed 1st Sept. and since two months plus it has been on Background Check.

After many mails and web forms pleading for intervention I just got informed by IRCC agents on call that BG is completed and Eligibility is pending (ongoing) which is yet to reflect on my portal. How many more days do I wait as I have already booked my flight for 13th November. The financial implication of changing to a near date (over 500k) is really killing.

Anyone knows what Qatar air charges for flight cancelation for a refund?

Let me cease the time to ask for POF for SOWP, I haven't seen it clearly stated on the Canada website yet. But I have about 11500cad, will that be enough too please?

What's the actual minimum for spouse sowp

Only a vv holder is required to buy return tickets.

Then, why do you guys buy tickets from wakanow when you can purchase tickets directly from the airlines? Purchase your tickets using the airlines' websites.

One of the advantages of buying your tickets directly from airlines arises in the event you wish to alter your travel plans. While airlines will charge you like $50, those other intermediaries will charge you exorbitant fees.

All the best. Chilling from BC.
