Hi xi,
1. You should see the checklist when you apply online. Generally speaking it is proof of relationship, principal applicant's qualification proof (work permit, Skilled job evidence) in addition to the applicant's own docs.
2. Since you had a gap in between it's better that you do submit every thing in detail. YES JOB PROFILE with detail is necessary to prove you have a NOC B (skilled job) and hence are eligible for SOWP.
3. I don't think so - as long as your current job is NOC B and your permit is valid for a good length of time (if less than six months remaining, then probably it's not a good situation).
4. Yes
5. If your spouse never lived in Canada for more than six months in a single visit, he doesn't need one from here. From US, yes since he has been living there for more than six months.
6. If your job is skilled (and your income is enough to support two people), then he does not require any proof of funds, though having some would have a positive contribution.
7. No funds needed if your job letter and duties clearly prove it's NOC B job and shows a reasonable wage according to your profession's average in your province. Still if you do show some that's okay.
8. If you have been married for a long time and have kids etc. probably nothing else is needed. If you are recently married and haven't lived together in a while, then probably you should attach further proof.

I am new to this forum. I need some expert advise regarding filing sowp. I am on post graduate work permit status in canada and my spouse is working in USA on work visa. I have a NOC B category since last june which I quit in nov and went for break for two months and now again I am joining new company with same job profile from Feb. I have few quick questions regarding filing SOWP.
1. What is the detailed checklist of documents required for filing SOWP.
2. Do i have to show information (like pay stub, job profile) from both of my employers previous and current.
3. Would my 2 months layoff affect the Sowp.
4. Should i file SOWP asa i recieve my two paychecks from the new job.
5. Do we require PCC for filing SOWP. My spouse already has canadian visitor visa since last 3 years.
6. Does my spouse has to show funds and if yes how much and does she has to provide any letter of intent regarding current job profile.
7. Do i have to provide any letter of intent regarding my job profile and what amount of funds do i need to show.
8. Apart from marriage certificate and some photographs do we need to show any other document justifying our marriage.
Experts kindly give your inputs. Thank you in advance!!
