Hi all.

I am in Canada on work permit with 3 Paystubs. wanted to apply for SOWP for my wife in India.
So, for proof of funds what should I do. Is her(wife) 6 months bank statements enough or do I need to get anything else from her bank any letter?

Thanks in advance.

24 weeks or more not including biometrics.
And what if applied along with the student who is going to study:
1. I know chances are slim to get both together. But will they refuse the students visa too if SOWP is rejected? or they will evaluate students requirement separately? can can reject only SOWP.

2. Will the timeline for SOWP will reduce considering both student and spouse has to travel together; as student will have to start classes in sept. ( I mean if applied together)

That's fine in as much as she have sufficient funds, infact three months statements is good enough

Hey, My fiancé will be applying for my SOWP too from within Canada - Can I just ask how can the biometrics be upfront? From what I've read the IRCC tells you when you need to go for biometrics and give you an instruction letter.
Thanks,
Asfiya

My question is Can I give yes for this question as he is a highly skilled worker of Noc A. But, when I clicked the global skill strategy it is mentioned that It is short term work permit of 15 days. I am quite confused..some one please help

Hi,

My husband who is about to apply for SOWP had a passport with his ex-spouse name and he changed the passport when he divorced. When we married, he again changed the passport. In all these passports, he never travelled or donot have any stamps. So when he upload new passport, does he should upload the old passports as well? some one please reply
