Hi all,
My sowp file got rejected and they gave very silly reason that you have not provided documentation to demonstrate that your spouse is employed in a position that falls within NOC level A,B OR O.

I represented my employment letter in which it was clearly mentioned my job title, my salary, since how long i am working with that company, my duties and everything. But my duties and my jot title was in there so they can figured it out my NOC level really its frustrating because of this i got rejected this time. Before that i got rejected two different reasons but now this time this is something really stupid. If you guys have any idea or somebody rejected because of this reason please guide me. :-[ :-[
You have to ask your employer for a letter specifically stating your NOC # and if it falls under NOC 0, A or B.

Hi,

I have applied for SOWP from Poland on 28th July and got a reply on 30th August that:-

I have concerns that you have not fulfilled the requirement put upon you by section 16(1) of
IRPA which states that a person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions
put to them for the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant evidence
and documents that the officer reasonably requires.

Specifically, I have concerns that some of the photograph that you have submitted have been
digitally modified.

What does this mean? I have applied by paper and submitted some of the photographs along with it.
What should i do now?


Thank You.

I guess people who are applying from South India are getting the Approval in less than 45 days of the submission. I had two of my close friends getting it within 1.5 months and both submitted from Hyderabad (Online).

Hi,
I guess you can apply for Visitor visa since your spouse has 6 months validity on her Visa, I guess it's better you both write a cover letter explaining about your relationship, attach some wedding and casual photographs, and if you have a joint account or FD show the copy of that, and most importantly get that relationship letter notarized. And ask you wife to write a letter explaining the situation and that she will take care of your financial needs once you are in Canada.
Hope this helps. Good luck Smiley
