Dear Friends
please help
I am full time student in ottawa canada.
My wife applied for SOWP it got rejected stating insufficient funds.
then we applied visa again with more than sufficient finds but this time in TRV category, it again got rejected without stating any reason.
Can anybody tell me in what category should we apply again SOWP or TRV ?
I guess it should be SOWP.... if that is right then can somebody tell me which forms are required to be filled for SOWP (paper based) ? on cic.gc its very confusing
thanks in anticipation.

Hello,

From what I understand you did not provide sufficient proof that you had sufficient funds. Did you provide your bank statements? Are you employed? Did you provide proof of employment, proof that you have an address and that he is living at that address? For the TRV they do need that proof that your spouse will have sufficient funds for the stay and will be residing at a stable address.

The spouse open work permit only works if you have made an application for permanent residence under the sponsorship program. If you have not made an application for permanent residence, than I believe it is not possible to get an open work permit.

There had to be a reason stated for the TRV rejection. You need to find out so you can address that refusal reason as well.

The work permit app is here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-how.asp.

Incorrect. Spouses of skilled foreign workers and international students can qualify for OWPs.
