Am glad I watched this video, though I have already applied for my study permit, it's 3wks now still praying and hoping that I also testify this way, I was thinking of apply for my spouse and children after I get to Canada, watching this just lifted my faith because I can't afford to Miss my children, Though my class will resume January 2023, this process can be draining mentally.

Hi SMI, am glad to tell you that I have gotten my Passport request on the 14/11. Thanks so much. Pls ma'am do you think that coming and settling in first before applying for my family will be better. Secondly am using agent who is also a close family friend, and he advised I should get a 2bed apartment which I will include the leasing agreement document to my dependants application (family of 5) just to convince the VO that I already have a conducive apartment for them. In addition with other documents like proof of home ties,POF, proof of relationship. My husband business documents ...... My challenge is paying for the 2bed until they come. Pls advice me

My wife just got her studying visa approved but the School had already withdrawn her admission but she want to reapply to the same school and the same program against next year she is still in Nigeria now, we planned submitting my application and that of our two children so that we can go together next year the question is "is it possible"?

[@fajemirokungbenga1877]

I am Eniola , I gained admission to nbcc and my admission was withdrawn the first time due to failure to submit study permit on the due date but I was later granted Visa. I reapplied and I was given but it was withdrawn the second time due to a general reason that they have gotten the number of students they want from my Country. Now I have my Visa and I want to pursue my career in justice studies-correction. What should I do? Thank you for your time.

[@adepejufolorunsho]

Thanks for sharing your experience. I’d like to apply for my visa in the same way you did yours because of the available funds for myself and my spouse. I intend applying first and want to ask if you included that your family will be accompanying you on the family information form. Did you also include in your Study plan (SOP) that they will travel with you? When applying for your family, did you prepare a separate SOP for them? The process is quite tedious and I’d really appreciate your response. Thank you.

[@kikelomoadeleke7195]

Thanks so much for sharing. This is quite encouraging. I'll like to clarify, did you say your husband got his SOWP in July and your daughter's VV came about same time? What year was this? Then since you didn't have your enrolment letter at the time of applying for them and your study permit must have been given at POE, what support documents did you now use?

[@smihubcanada]

Hii, thanks for stopping by! That was in 2019. For supporting documents, I included a copy of my study visa (on my stamped passport) + my passport data page, my admission letter, and my funding letter. Also, be sure to include all other documents I talked about in the video like marriage certificate, change of name affidavit (if applicable), etc.

[@rxmikeobioma3681]

Wow! This is quite informative, thank you! I like the way you calmly explained the process...it seemed like you were speaking to me directly because I have been struggling to make a decision between waiting to resume school in September before applying for SOWP or applying for SOWP while in my home country. I'm just curious, in your opinion, who's in a better position to initiate the SOWP? The spouse who has received his study permit or his other half who needs the SOWP? Thanks in anticipation of your response

[@smihubcanada]

Hii, thanks for stopping by!! I'm glad you found the video useful. I'm not sure what exactly you mean by "initiate". If its what I think, your spouse will apply separately in his/her name (if it's an online application, you should create her own account in her name. If it's paper application, I believe you can link it to your own account after submitting). Either way it should be her application. Note that you will be the one writing the invitation letter while she will be writing the Introduction letter. Now this does not mean she should do it all by herself. You both should put your heads together to package the application but formally it should be in her name. Hope this helps. Let me know if any more questions!!

He’ll ma’am thanks for sharing this tips. My question is did you use the proof of funds you used in getting your study permit as the same proof of funds for your spouse and children or you presented a different account?

[@smihubcanada]

I had funding from the school that covers my tuition and living expenses, so for my study permit POF , I just added a little more money + my funding letter. For my family's application, I added more POF to meet the requirement for additional people. So just make sure what ure presenting for your family meets the required amount for them!

[@lenorakefon]

Hello Julie, I hope you're doing well. Thanks for this information pack video. Please I'm a little bit confused with the proof of funds part. You mentioned in the spousal letter, there's no need talking about the student's POF since he/she is already in Canada. My worry is whose account should have the spousal pof? Should it be students account or the spouse whos's applying for the work permit? If it's the spouse account that needs to have the money is it still necessary for the student to also show added funds? Please i understand my questions are too many and you're busy too but please if you have a moment to reply, I'll greatly appreciate it. As this is our biggest worry. My spouse has the required funds and more which is required but we were thinking it's suppose to be in my account and with the exchange rate to send it to Canada as i already closed my account back home it's been difficult. Please kindly clarify this point which you mentioned. Thanks again.

[@tntmom876]

Thanks for sharing from your experience. I really appreciate it. I have a question, if both my spouse and I have our GCKey access, ON whose portal do I submit the application for the SOWP? Would it be on the same portal as the spouse who is the student or the spouse who is applying for the work permit?

[@smihubcanada]

It really doesn't matter, the spouse applying for the work permit can use his/her GC key portal to submit his/her application. That's the most straightforward way to go. The content of the application will show he/she is accompanying a student so it really doesn't matter. Thanks for stopping by!!

Thank you so very much ma'am Julie, your videos are always enlightening and I really appreciate your wealth of knowledge and commitment to your channel. Thank you for sharing always and God will reward you for us. Please, if I want to apply from home (Nigeria) as a married woman, do I have to change my name to my husband's own? But considering that isn't what I have on my certificate, I have my father's name as I got married after school. And do you think I can register for schools in Canada with the name on my certificate or my husband's? It's kind of confusing and I would really appreciate your point of view ma, thank you.

[@smihubcanada]

You don't have to change your name if you've not already done so because you are coming to Canada. If you've not changed your name you can go ahead and apply with your maiden name. When you want to bring your husband, you must include your marriage certificate and any other proof of relationship. There is no problem at all in using your maiden name.. A family member did this and there was no problem whatsoever. All the best!!
