Hello everyone,

I currently am on a PGWP, which is valid for 24 months, and am currently working in a TEER 1 job. I recently got married to my wife in Pakistan, who is in now in UK completing her degree (which will take a few months). I just had a few questions regarding the SOWP.

I only see categories to upload for IMM1295, IMM5707, Passport, Photo, Proof of Relationship, IMM5257 (for TRV im guessing) and client information.

There is no place to upload my documents like employer letter, pay stubs, current status like work permit or anything else. I assume I can upload all that in client information. What else to include? Also for proof of relationship, it only asks me for documents like marriage certificates. From my research, they ask for 20 photos for proof, but I don't see that anywhere.

Can anyone help who went through this same process?

I only want to point out that the "20 photos for proof" is the maximum photos for FAMILY CLASS sponsorship application.
That's for PRs/citizens of Canada to sponsor their spouses to become PRs.
You are applying for SOWP, so make sure that you know what kind of info you are getting online. (SOWP is different from PR sponsorship)

Thanks, that makes sense. But should i still add photos and proof of relationship and upload it in client information alongside my SOP? Also, should I upload my employment reference letter and paystubs in client information too?

Also, how important is it prove ties of wife to home country for this type of application? Honestly since shes still a student and has no property in her name, or any job, how do I go about proving her ties.
