Hello members,

I am on a PGWP and will be applying for my spouse's SOWP. I am wondering how strong of a home ties do i need to show for my spouse? Is it really strict just like in the case of a visitor visa?

What if the spouse doesn't have a job or property? Does anyone SOWP got approved without any of these ?

Also, for SOWP do we have to do upfront medical or only when the CIC requests for it?

Thanks in advance for your time

Hello members,

I am on a PGWP and will be applying for my spouse's SOWP. I am wondering how strong of a home ties do i need to show for my spouse? Is it really strict just like in the case of a visitor visa?The concept is the same. Spouse has to show home ties/own funds/justify purpose of visit

What if the spouse doesn't have a job or property? Does anyone SOWP got approved without any of these ? It weakens home ties & finances.

Also, for SOWP do we have to do upfront medical or only when the CIC requests for it? Medical is necessary. If not done upfront, you can wait for IRCC to send a request

Thanks in advance for your time

All of those are too suspicious and not credible

You can show what she is doing right now and explain ties in an LOE

Yes this is a flag too since the money came overnight. Even if this is a gift, while it takes care of the Financial thing, her home ties is very weak

ok thank you ! Do i need to write a letter of invitation for my spouse to support her SOWP application? Most of them i found online are for visit visa. Any samples available for SOWP invitation letter?
