How Likely Am I to get a SOWP? (Spouse Open Work Permit)

[Eruu]

Also depends on you getting the SOWP. Families of international students are not guaranteed permit and visas.

Also, what do you mean by the first part? ^
Is there anything from my main post that could affect my chances?

Spouses of international students don't always get approved. Multiple factors including whether you can support yourselves if you don't get a job.

Ohh I see.
- If we want to stay for 5 years, is it okay if we show the required $15,772 proof of funds? or does it have to be more to convince them? Because I'm not sure how much money my gf will bring, but I feel like she'll have enough to support herself for 5 years. I do plan on having joint bank accounts with her if it helps strengthen our case and I myself will have at least $15,000 CAD to combine with hers.
(We do plan on splitting rent on a decently priced apartment and won't be big spenders at all.)
-And if it helps, we'll be in the Niagara/Welland area and on some site that compares the average prices of things, it's pretty decent.

- In the scenario that I do get approved, can I only look for a 0, A, B job? Or, can I just temporarily work a C, D job to help support us while looking for a "skilled worker" level job?
