Hi SMI, am glad to tell you that I have gotten my Passport request on the 14/11. Thanks so much. Pls ma'am do you think that coming and settling in first before applying for my family will be better. Secondly am using agent who is also a close family friend, and he advised I should get a 2bed apartment which I will include the leasing agreement document to my dependants application (family of 5) just to convince the VO that I already have a conducive apartment for them. In addition with other documents like proof of home ties,POF, proof of relationship. My husband business documents ...... My challenge is paying for the 2bed until they come. Pls advice me

Thanks for sharing your experience. I’d like to apply for my visa in the same way you did yours because of the available funds for myself and my spouse. I intend applying first and want to ask if you included that your family will be accompanying you on the family information form. Did you also include in your Study plan (SOP) that they will travel with you? When applying for your family, did you prepare a separate SOP for them? The process is quite tedious and I’d really appreciate your response. Thank you.

Wow! This is quite informative, thank you! I like the way you calmly explained the process...it seemed like you were speaking to me directly because I have been struggling to make a decision between waiting to resume school in September before applying for SOWP or applying for SOWP while in my home country. I'm just curious, in your opinion, who's in a better position to initiate the SOWP? The spouse who has received his study permit or his other half who needs the SOWP? Thanks in anticipation of your response
@smihubcanada2 жыл бұрын
Hii, thanks for stopping by!! I'm glad you found the video useful. I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "initiate". If its what I think, your spouse will apply separately in his/her name (if it's an online application, you should create her own account in her name. If it's paper application, I believe you can link it to your own account after submitting). Either way it should be her application. Note that you will be the one writing the invitation letter while she will be writing the Introduction letter. Now this does not mean she should do it all by herself. You both should put your heads together to package the application but formally it should be in her name. Hope this helps. Let me know if any more questions!!

Hello Julie, I hope you're doing well. Thanks for this information pack video. Please I'm a little bit confused with the proof of funds part. You mentioned in the spousal letter, there's no need talking about the student's POF since he/she is already in Canada. My worry is whose account should have the spousal pof? Should it be students account or the spouse whos's applying for the work permit? If it's the spouse account that needs to have the money is it still necessary for the student to also show added funds? Please i understand my questions are too many and you're busy too but please if you have a moment to reply, I'll greatly appreciate it. As this is our biggest worry. My spouse has the required funds and more which is required but we were thinking it's suppose to be in my account and with the exchange rate to send it to Canada as i already closed my account back home it's been difficult. Please kindly clarify this point which you mentioned. Thanks again.

You don't have to change your name if you've not already done so because you are coming to Canada. If you've not changed your name you can go ahead and apply with your maiden name.
