Hello Everyone, what's the advised frequency to send webforms. I submitted my husbands SOWP back I'm June and it's almost getting past the processing time. We had a medicals update on August 6th but nothing since then. Should I be sending this webform message everyday?

Thank you

If you disturb them they may be vex and refuse you

How did you get this information, I am currently renewing my passport with one year validity left hoping to get it stamp
Hope it won't be a problem

If immigration agreed to do it for you genuinely then it will not be a problem

Thanks for this. Saying it and declaring with faith and confidence. My application will not be refused in the name of Jesus. It has to be positive and approval is the only option available.

Dear all,
Kindly assist with an advise
My wife has finished her program and will be applying for PGWP.
our 2 kids have been with her in Canada and they have Visitors record,while I only have Visitors visa which I go and stay with them once a while and each time I go I stay 6 months.

My question now is, as she is applying for her 3 year PGWP, can I apply along for SOWP for myself and study permit for the two kids(3 & 5) respectively??

We have a total of $150k CAD which is in 3 different accounts, 2(1 Canada and 1 Nigeria) of the accounts in her name and one in my name in Nigeria.
Thanks

Hi
The reason I asked for him, so I can get an idea on how to plan myself when my spouse graduate in 2 years time.

I believe is not a crime to plan ahead, because It has helped me alot in this life.

I think you should wait till your Study permit application is approved before submitting SOWP application for your spouse

Plan ahead, when alot would have changed in the next 6 months, your question did not make reference to asking on behalf of someone.

Rather than being a gatekeeper, you should have referred your friend here to join the community to ask the questions directly and get firsthand information.

Yeah your right, I just dropped the message as I was on the phone with him.

I agree with you and I apologized for that.

You in particular have been a huge support to me.

Wish I will always be grateful.

Thank you

Visa to Canada for immigrants is a privilege and not a right. Know this and know peace so you can manage your expectations.

On a 2nd note, what if the insufficient financial situation here is referring to your wife, remember she is d one coming to join you and the visa officer will require she has strong home tie.

I advise you increase her biz profile in Nigeria and do a lot of transactions to her.

Let the 20m be in her account while the 17k CAD in your account and get like 5k CAD deposit payment on your school fees and try again.

Better still wait for d gcms note.

This was d reason my spouse was denied initially until I boosted her profile with paid job. Transfers from me and offer letter/letter of leave of absence.

Kurukuru:
Dont quit, get the GCMS notes and reapply. But be careful with any information and documents that you will use to reapply

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Jeboy(m): 8:54pm On Sep 08
I want to assume you are either on a professional degree or Masters that can offer SOWP for your partner.

You need to understand the progression of Canada status.

The fact you had a break and worked full time doesn't give you a Full time worker status. You re still a student with restricted work hours which was only removed during break.

Hence, you can't use that student work status as a full time offer to sponsor your spouse for SOWP. Remember you re still on study permit and your motive for applying for study permit is first for your study and not work.

You can only transit to full time work upon graduation and PGWP issuance.

So try push the naira to your wife's account while u retain d CAD, then pay deposit of your school fees from another source and then reapply.

kobobay:
I am a student in Canada unfortunately my family application is refused the second time for this reason:

The compensation (monetary or other) indicated in your job offer and your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).

we applied for open work spousal permit and kids Study Permit.
I told my wife that I am done applying, this is not a best time to apply.

how long is the 20m supposed to be in her account?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Jeboy(m): 2:53pm On Sep 09
You can transfer 5m in the first month with a narrative of project from your account to your spouse. Then subsequently 300k, 200k, 500k and like that from same 1st month to the fourth month. Make sure she also spends from the account like her normal home keep expenses. So it means d 20m should be spread to her within 4 months period to make them feel she's financially stable.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Jeboy(m): 4:37pm On Sep 14
It doesn't apply to you because in all the earth God made your case special or IRCC will apply a different rule for you.

At last the outcome will either be Approved or Refused. Not accepting this is what breaks people's heart and make them feel suicidal when they get a decision. We spiritualize everything in this country as if those refused are not children of God or don't pray enough.

I dont know the christianity sermon we hear in Nigeria or Africa. If people become successful by what they proclaim you would have been Dangote by confession.

Wether you like it or not , you must add quality work to your grace/faith else it will be faith without work which is DEAD. You think I am not spiritually inclined? All the best to you but hope you put the best foot in your application process because those elements are critical in the decision of your application by IRCC and not just confesssion/what you desire. I wish you well, I am not negative I am only telling you the realities of life/spirituality and you should adjust your expectations by having backups. Not everyone that work hard will get Canada visa especially these times.

I had your mentality before the MP told me to see visa approval like someone welcoming you to his house, you dont use your confession or rule to enter. You have to abide by the rule of your invitee and beside sometimes you can fulfil the rule and he will still say dont come. I adjusted since and I am better. Lets not make our country situation make it look like it must happen, it is not our heritage in Christ.

I wish you well bro, we will celebrate you as your approval doesnt impact on mine and vice versa so why should i hate?

Hello guys. What would be an acceptable marriage certificate for Canada spousal open work permit application? My partner will be joining me after I get my study permit at the port of entry, and we only have the Islamic certificate of marriage. Will this do or do we have to have a civil marriage certificate?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Jeboy(m): 9:51am On Sep 19
Civil certificate is what is recognized by Nigerian law.

Well, someone thinking of doing PR before will find it useful. The most shocking for me is the changing of the rule for SOWP for spouse of Masters programme. It must be 16 months (2 years) in length. Then the spouse applying for SOWP must also be in TEER 0 or 1 (Management or Professional) classification of employment or any employment in labour shortage. Canada don vex oh. This regime is trying too much to favour her citizens because of elections.

They said that the integrity of the immigration system has been bastardised. The PR pathway is just a priviledge for the intetnational students. Section 216 of the IRPA that establishes international student program wants those coming to Canada to be bonafide students. But the way we conduct ourselves has proven to them that we not bonafide students. We have splashed to their face that we are immigrants.
