Baba learn, all you are saying is still for study permit application, the moment you apply for pgwp, it means u are now a work permit holder and not study permit holder and thus, u can apply for open work permit for your partner, that's what most of us are waiting for here after our program to bring in our families....here is the link u requested for....

I have a friend with a PGWP and applied for his wife and got the visa his job is in teer 4 and 5 pls don’t be discouraged try just show a valid job offer and all



I went through a link someone posted here and the Teer work category extended beyond 3. 4 to 5 is included. This is indeed a breath of fresh air for peeps that their spouse has gotten PGWP visa.

Hi ladies and gentlemen,

Can one submit a fresh visit visa or open work permit after a previous work permit was refused and is under reconsideration request. Made a reconsideration request some time ago but waiting for outcome.

So I want to know if one can make a new application while waiting for outcome of reconsideration.

Thanks all.

Hello Everyone,

Regarding the proof of funds for the spousal of an international student who is already in Canada, I called the IRCC, and I was told that it is not required to determine the eligibility.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/foreign-workers/public-policy-competitiveness-economy/c42.html#eligibility

However, I was advised to have it ready in case the officer requested for it. I posted sometimes ago that I didn't see an option to a financial documents or proof of funds.

POF should be a major criterion for eligibility. Don't fall for any tricks please

Please what's is the reason for the refusal
AgEcon: 11:27pm On Jun 01, 2024
[There were two mistake from the visa officer.
1. That applicant was applying for study permit and didn't show the funds required for studying.

And this was incorrect. It was purely work permit.

2. Applicant didn't explain lump sum.

It was incorrect. Explainedlump sum through Gift Deed documents.

We saw these reasons in the GCMS notes. The generic reason was a bit different and didn't tell us the reasons except that applicant didn't have the funds required to get the visa she applied for. The GCMS note revealed things to us.]

Oh ok thanks, please how long does it take for the person to get decision from IRCC I mean the duration between the day of submission and the date of refusal?
AgEcon: 12:56pm On Jun 02, 2024
It depends. It could be earlier or longer than the official processing time. Average processing time is often 10-12 weeks.

Is it possible for IRCC to wait for 3 to 4 months before giving someone a refusal?

Good day all. I got a refusal for my work permit few months back but from my GCMS, it's was POF and no enough evidence for pof. My question are:
1. How much pof is perfect for work permit and visitor visa for my kids.
2. I hv 10m in my since Sept 2023 used for the first application if I am adding to it based on new rules is the previous 10m still a lump sum or I should only do a gift deed for the new money I am adding or do I sum all together and do I gift deed.
3. What evidence can my sis show aside bank statement and proof of relationship. She sell soaps in large quantities and deal with different companies
4. On the other can my dad be a new sponsor, a retiree no inflow in his s.
5. My wife has applied for pgwp what evidences does she has to show to our application
Thank you as in anticipation your responses. Every advice will be welcomed. Thank you

Would have been better if you attached the GCMS notes, I suspect that the main issue was source of funds not the adequacy of the funds in your first application.
1. Check the new POF requirements to see what you need for your family size.
2. All lump sums should be explained especially when it appears in your SOA.
5. You need to wait for her PGWP to be approved before applying for your WP.
4. What funds will be showing from him since he does not have inflows?
3. What will she be doing in the application?

Like I suspected, the source of your POF was not explained exhaustively backed with documents, you need to show them HOW you got the POF either from your salary earnings or business profits or donations from your relative. Then back your words with documents like pay slips, employment letter, etc

Hi everyone,

Can I track a visitor visa application when I already have a previous work permit on the tracker? I am trying to check, but it is the previous work permit I see on the tracker. I cannot track a new vv application.

When did u submit your visitor application?
once all the info are updated on ur profile, in 2days time you should be able to track it.

It will update automatically show on your tracker under the work permit closed application.

I guess 21k is standard for living expenses for student applicant because he or she will rent apartment to start with and other bills.

If a spouse is 8ng him or her, he or she cannot be subject to same 21k so the 7k plus slack suffice since they can co-live with student spouse to minimize cost of living.

So you re right my guy. How is it going bro?

Bobomaigida:


No sir/ma, the 21K is for the principal applicant, there are some costs that a dependent will not incur again, cost like housing and utilities. The ideal thing to do is to show a minimum of 7k, not just exact 7k, build some slack into the amount so that it is not considered to be on the bother line.
