I'm planning to do my masters in Canada sept 2018. Can I apply for Student visa and a dependent open work permit visa for my spouse together?
My consultant said, I should apply and get my student visa first and then after a semester I have to apply for SOWP and bring my wife into canada.
I have a 1 years old baby too.

What is the chance of rejection when I apply after my first semester. ?

Please give me some idea about it.
Even I was said so I did apply after my wife left INDIA.

There are cases where both of them got approvals as well when applied together. But this will give u peace of mind, whether u get or not u can know if before only.

But if u apply ur early and you gets it and after that when she apply's and she don't get the visa. then its like hell. And with a baby, i don't think thats a chance u should be taking.

SOWP APPROVED AFTER 5 REFUSALS: 2 Times Visitor Visa, 2 times SOWP and 1 UK Work Visa Refusal
Hello all,
I want to share my experience with you all,
My spouse's open work permit got approved yesterday after 5 refusals. I do recommend everyone to go to "Canadian Immigration Connections" Manprit Aujla-Grewal from Edmonton (Immigration Consultant). They are so reasonable.
My Timeline:
November 3, 2017- Applied online (with upfront medical)
November 15, 2017- Update- Medical passed and review of eligibility started
December 12, 2017- Original Passport Request
December 13, 2017- Passport Submitted.

Brief Description: Visitor visa was refused in March 2016 and May 2016. SOWP was refused in January 2017 and June 2017.
Thank god and all of you guys for your help. Please feel free to text me if you have any questions regarding SOWP. I will be more than happy to help.
May all of you hear something soon.
Cograts buddy wants to get some advice how can I get to you

Dear All,

I am planning to apply SOWP for a 3rd time.
My doubt is how much fund we have to show in our bank account?

My wife is working in Canada, So how much CAD she has to show in her bank account?
My bank accounts in India So How much Amount I have to show in my bank account?

Is it Important that I have to show fund in the bank account for my SOWP application?

Waiting for your kind reply.

Hello All,

I have 2 SOWP Rejections before.

I have few doubts regarding GCMS Notes application.

Application No.01 - SOWP Applied Online On 27-02-2017 / Status As On 05-05-2017 : Refused
Application No.02 - SOWP Applied Online On 27-05-2017 / Status As On 06-11-2017 : Refused

So today my wife applied for GCMS Notes for the Application No.02.

So my doubt is is it ok if she will apply for the GCMS Notes for the Application No.01, because both are 2 diffrenet applications with 2 different file number?

Waiting for your kind reply.

Thanks & Best Regards
