My wife attached our property and the property I inherited from my parents. Together with a copy of my SP and semester enrollment letter. For spouse SOP, I just wrote a simple letter requesting for SOWP for my wife and SP for my son (I registered my son in the local school board and got an admission letter from them).

did you apply alone first then submitted your wife and son's application afterwards? or you applied all at the same time?

I applied alone for my SP for Winter 2019 semester. My wife and my son applied for a visitor visa at the same time to visit my in-laws in November2018. My son needs to go back to the Philippines after Christmas to finish his 11th grade. After that, we applied for SOWP and SP for my wife and son respectively.

The documents submitted for my husband's SOWP (He applied after the kids and I got our approvals):
  • All required forms
  • Passport data page and all stamps, National ID document
  • Marriage certificate
  • Upfront Medical
  • Proof of Funds (basically same statements I used for our applications)
  • Proof of properties and businesses ownership (again, same ones I submitted for our applicationa)
  • IELTS General result
  • Police Clearance Certificate
  • My LOA
  • My tuition Receipt
  • My LOI and copy of my visa
  • Letter of employment (from his current employer)
  • SOP (written by my husband)
  • Spousal Support Letter (written by me in support of his application).

I wanted to add in his transcripts and degree certificates but there wasn't space :).

Hi Im going to apply sowp for spouse. Is IELTS recommended? Also, Should I apply for PCC . I read it is not mandatory. If both these are required I can go ahead and start with them first as it takes time? @wonderbly

I submitted my husband's IELTS. Not every country requires a PCC. Mine does, so yes I submitted it for the SOWP. If you needed it for your SP application, then your spouse will need it as well...
