For PINOYS: Spousal open work permit to canada.. Share tayo

[mcaranay]

Hello! If the application was sent online, paano ang process ng submission of passport once there’s a passport request?

Assuming you are outside Canada you need to send it thru our local VAC or VFS.

Can we just walk in through the Vfs office and hand them the passports? Can we pay cash instead of cheque? And do we need to bring a prepaid return envelope? Or we can buy it directly there? I have looked into their website and its not that specific on how to submit the passports.

Please call them to inquire directly all your inquiries. This method is far more efficient and accurate. Help line is provided in the link or their website.

This is an interesting question and it would help if some expert can confirm it. I been searching the IRCC/CIC site for an exact amount of POF for SOWP application and I cant find any. In the forums, there are some answers but all are different.

I want to share my experience but I was already working(already after SP) when I applied SOWP for my wife so it does not count.

IMHO Cguro po ang sagot po ay "Enough amount of money to cover the living expenses for both of you(Lets just say 1 year)" + "Total Tuition Fee Amount" for the whole duration of the Program your husband is taking.

This should include your Health Insurance. Your Husband's Tuition might include Health Insurance but you need to have one also.
You need to prove to the VO that you are able to survive for certain duration of time until you are able to find a job or in case you were not able to find a job immediately. This is considering both of you are not working yet.

Unless, of course if you own a business, properties or other source of income and such then its not a problem and just disregard all what i have said before.

So again the question: How Much nga po??
Safe side cguro, $15,000 or more (Thats for for both of you)

Wala po ako makita kaya im referring to this POF table(Bring Enough Amount Money to Settle) in this link

First, ang SOWP at VISA po ay magkaibang document.

Spousal Open Work Permit - Allows someone to work but its not a "travel document".
Remarks varies and may contain line such as "Accompanying Spouse" meaning its SOWP.
Looks like (refer to picture): http://www.condorimmigration.com/work-permits-extensions/

VISA (Temporary Residence Visa/TRV) - Allows you to enter or travel to Canada and could be a single or Multiple entry.
Different types (Student, Worker, Visitor)
It does not automatically mean you can work if you have this.
Looks like (refer to picture): https://international.viu.ca/trv

Anong naka indicate sa visa?
For SOWP holder with a TRV, sa Visa naka-indicate under Category: : "W-1" WORKER"
