For PINOYS: Spousal open work permit to canada.. Share tayo

[oxie18]

Hello mga sis at bro! Just wanna ask, anu po iappply pag 1 yr old palang ang bata? TRV po ba? Ano po requirements? Yun brother kc ni hubby pinagreready npo ng papers para sa SOWP ang magiina nya: wife, 11 year old son and a 1 year old... Kaso di ko sila maasist sa little bulilit nila. Kung may nakaexperience npo, pls pashare para po matulungan natin sila. Thanks guys! Regards....

hello ang alam ko po nung tumawag ako sa call center, isa sa tinanong is kung schooling na ung anak ko... pag schooling na, need na study permit ung iapply pero kung hindi, TRV lang.

hi sis,

nakakahinayang ung $800, kasi pede ka tlga mag direct application. pero dahil nakabayad na kayo, wala na tlga choice kundi sundin ung agency. pero i really think na the agency are NOT aware kung paano naaapprove ung SOWP (both for spouse & kids) kasi it is really recommended na isama lahat ng kids and no doubt na maaprub yan ng embassy. in my case, i applied direct...me as SOWP + study permit for 2 kids (13 & 16 yrs old.) i did not include any bank statement from my hubby NOT even his payslips. the only proof of fund i include is my P100,000 bank statement. and our application was approved. actually dati i consulted Mercan abt processing of WP for my hubby, their rate is $700. i just asked so many questions then i told them i'll be back, but with the information i got from them plus sa infos i got from the internet, naging confident ako to do it on my own. wala pa itong forum noong nag aapply kami ng hubby ko. his work permit was approved in 1.5 mos from the time of application, it was processed in Dubai and i was the one who arrange his papers all the requirements and how he will apply sa Abu dhabi embassy. so i think we did it right kc naaprub nman hubby even w/o consultants.

sa app ko naman sa pinas, the only problem na naencounter ko ay ung medical ko kaya nadelay kmi, but definitely proof of fund is not a concern...provided your hubby's income in Canada can support 4 family members. and considering you're applying for spousal work permit, so ang assumption dun e magwowork ka and you will also have income. immigration officers are looking at our application as temporary status in Canada, we just have to prove that we will return to Phils by providing them with proof of ties to our home country (like land titles/properties, savings, and extended families who are still in Phils). Until you're applying for PR, then you need to provide large amt of funds.

sayang naman kung di mo maisama ung isa mong anak, napakaganda ng benefits ng mga bata dito...libre lahat at mas maaga mo sila madala dito mas mbuti. your husband can also claim additional tax refund kung mas mraming members ng family ang nandito and applying for permanent resident one time is easier, especially kung inside canada na kayo lahat. kaya kung ako sayo, i will include my son sa app nyo. your son has to fill out a separate application for study permit plus he needs to submit NBI clearance since he's already over 18 yrs old.

just my suggestions and sharing, it is still up to you. your agency is really something, i hope they know what their doing para di na nahihirapan ung mga kliyente nila. goodluck to your application...just have faith, God is always there to guide us and grant our wishes ))

Thank you for this information and encouragement na isama ko yung anak kong lalaki. Na depressed nga ako ng sinabi ng consultant n baka ma deny daw kami kapag isinama ko yung anak namin na lalaki. Pero with the information and advise that you share baka isama na lang namin yung application nya. Ask ko lang baka kaya kami hinahanapan ng malaki funds kasi yung husband ko po ay fast food supervisor lang sa Calgary baka di qualify yung sweldo nya for 2 kids to support our stay in Canada. kasi yun ang sabi ng consultant. But then, originally ng wala pa yung consultant talagang nakaplano na kami isama 2 anak namin. Kaya na-discourage nga ako sa consultant eh. I wlll talk my husband baka pwede nya convince yung agency na isama na lang yung anak namin na 19 years old. Thank you talaga for the concern.
