@ jeckay Kundi lang kami nakapagbayad na sa agency ng $800 as fee sana nag direct na lang kami. Kasi nakita ko itong forum after n namin makapagbayad eh. Sayang talaga, tapos ang laki pa ng hinihingi nila proof of funds. Anyway, sabi nila kasi kapag malaki ng kid ay medyo malaki talaga hinahanap. My daughter is 15 yrs old at yung anak ko nga lalaki na 19 years old ay di na namin includew muna sa SOWP application. Kasi sabi agencu mas lalong malaki na funds ang kailangan. Kaya nga nalungkot yung anak ko lalaki. Anyway tapusin muna nya mechanical engineering course nya. Anyway graduating na sya next year. Hopefully kapag nasa canada na kami next year ayusin kagad namin PR namin para makasunod kagad sya. By mid Dec pa kami mag-apply kasi dun pa lang ready yung savings at pera namin $5,000 at statement of account nya for November. Sana nga early next year maka-alis na kami. Sobrang lungkot kasi.
hi sis,
nakakahinayang ung $800, kasi pede ka tlga mag direct application. pero dahil nakabayad na kayo, wala na tlga choice kundi sundin ung agency. pero i really think na the agency are NOT aware kung paano naaapprove ung SOWP (both for spouse & kids) kasi it is really recommended na isama lahat ng kids and no doubt na maaprub yan ng embassy. in my case, i applied direct...me as SOWP + study permit for 2 kids (13 & 16 yrs old.) i did not include any bank statement from my hubby NOT even his payslips. the only proof of fund i include is my P100,000 bank statement. and our application was approved. actually dati i consulted Mercan abt processing of WP for my hubby, their rate is $700. i just asked so many questions then i told them i'll be back, but with the information i got from them plus sa infos i got from the internet, naging confident ako to do it on my own. wala pa itong forum noong nag aapply kami ng hubby ko. his work permit was approved in 1.5 mos from the time of application, it was processed in Dubai and i was the one who arrange his papers all the requirements and how he will apply sa Abu dhabi embassy. so i think we did it right kc naaprub nman hubby even w/o consultants.
sa app ko naman sa pinas, the only problem na naencounter ko ay ung medical ko kaya nadelay kmi, but definitely proof of fund is not a concern...provided your hubby's income in Canada can support 4 family members. and considering you're applying for spousal work permit, so ang assumption dun e magwowork ka and you will also have income. immigration officers are looking at our application as
temporary status in Canada, we just have to prove that we will return to Phils by providing them with proof of ties to our home country (like land titles/properties, savings, and extended families who are still in Phils). Until you're applying for PR, then you need to provide large amt of funds.
sayang naman kung di mo maisama ung isa mong anak, napakaganda ng benefits ng mga bata dito...libre lahat at mas maaga mo sila madala dito mas mbuti. your husband can also claim additional tax refund kung mas mraming members ng family ang nandito and applying for permanent resident one time is easier, especially kung inside canada na kayo lahat. kaya kung ako sayo, i will include my son sa app nyo. your son has to fill out a separate application for study permit plus he needs to submit NBI clearance since he's already over 18 yrs old.
just my suggestions and sharing, it is still up to you. your agency is really something, i hope they know what their doing para di na nahihirapan ung mga kliyente nila. goodluck to your application...just have faith, God is always there to guide us and grant our wishes
