@Edoblakky, Yu kno dos pple ar kinda funny, one has to inform dem abt d update so dey wont judge based on d abt to expire study permit n end up seeing no reasin to give a one month work permit to a wife whose hubby's study permit is abt to expire. By d way, reapplying isn't an option. Funny you, why will i get d work permit and not use it... God will do it soonest. Thanks for ur response.

Edoblakky:
Psalt, I'll strongly advise that you do not reapply. Let them process your work permit but ensure that you travel before it expires. Once you are in Canada, you can apply for a renew which takes less than a month to obtain. But if you intend to travel after March 2017 then, your only option will be to reapply now and have a long wait.

I understand your concern, you can update if you wish; but I believe CIC has the updated information on your husband's status, they have his records and will not rely on the information you have provided without verifying from their records. I am pretty sure they will see that your husband's permit has been extended

Yes, but I noticed I got three seperate text messages with all our tracking numbers and three separate e-mails too. Just wondering. I tried to link mine yesterday but was told there was no info yet about me yet, so I figured it was because I just submmited. Mayb I will just wait till I can link and see what it has for me. Thank you.

Hi. I didnt get any email and text message after submitting my application. Although I got the yellow receipt which has the tracking no. i have asked here before but no answered. I hope there is nothing wrong.

VEIL1234:
But wait, must you print out your statement in PH? I thought It can be done from any of the bank's branch? Sorry on the passport stress it will end in praise amen!

It's my sponsor statement and he lives in ph

@justicia check very well, if you summit via paper route you must surely receive Sms and email notification about your application the same day your application was submitted. How will you then receive medical email if you did not get any email notification, i will advice you link you paper application online, so you can have control over your application.

Please how do I get to vsf

Let me start from oshodi, take a bus going to CMS, then from CMS take a bus going to Ajah and tell the bus conductor to stop you at Third Roundabout Lekki. Cross to the other lane and walk toward the street opposite the round about and look for Manor Hall. Good luck

Thanks, God bless you.

@kc4all, I tried to link my app online yesterday but no app was found. Thats quite strange cos it's been over 1 month since I submitted. @Veil1234 have you linked yours? Anyways I had called vfsglobal before and they confirmed that my app is still under processing... they also confirmed my email address as correct, so i wonder why I didn't get acknowledgment email after submission... anyways fingers crossed.

Thank God and everyone on this thread. My wife's application has been approved.
I pray for all waiting: your approval mail will not be denied. You shall have it quicker than expected in Jesus name. Amen!!!

congrats. I am new on the SOWP thread. I will like to knw the process of applying for the SOWP, the documents i will need and the minimum fund required by cic for the SOWP? Thanks

Does CIC require a certain amount of funds for the SOWP? is the form for Open work permit different from that of SOWP? I am asking because i saw somewhere they were asking for proof that you meet the requirements of the job? i just want to be sure i am on the right page

Gymme:
Basically, the most important document is your spouse permit in Canada (Study permit or Post Graduate Work Permit). As in PGWP, they require your spouse to have a job in NOC Level O, A or B to qualify.

Other required documents are your international passport, photograph and IMM form.

You would need to provide a LOE where you could include your spouse issued permit (Study or Work), your marriage certificate, wedding pictures etc to prove your relationship.

Try again and make sure all the information required are correct as stated in your application. As soon as you get it correct it will surely link.

Pls I need help, my hubby applied for me and my 5 year old daughter, open work permit for me and visit visa for my daughter but on getting to vfs I was told we were supposed to fill out open study for my daughter instead of the visit. Please how do I effect the change for her.

@jumman have you submitted already? if not there is a cafe inside the same compound with vfs. they will print the form and fill it for u

Oh thanks a lot @yettyopy.

SOWP is just a type of Open Work Permit and not a different, specific application form called SOWP. To apply for your spouse, your status in Canada is needed (Student or Worker?) majorly. As such, they want a proof of your status in Canada. If you are a student, you only need to provide your study permit but if you are a work, you need to provide your work permit and documents proving that you meet the requirements of the job (you are doing in Canada) in NOC O, A or B.

As per funds, there is no specified amount on the CIC website but people usually use their discretion. However, if you are a worker in Canada, you could provide your previous (3 or more) payslips. That is what i did and required by CIC for workers.

@ Jumman, It's the same study permit form adults use. I will advise you try to fill it yourself before u arrive vfs if you haven't. I had challenges downloading it for my five year old daughter and casually worked into one of the biz centres and after filling it I was charged 5k. I talked and talked and eventually paid 3k.

So you can just ignore those documents you can't provide.
