Guys, I have a doubt regarding proof of funds for my spouse sowp. I'm getting gift deed from my family as most of my investments are locked in and long term and I showed the rest to my study permit. I have two options .kindly suggest which would be better/required as per cic.

1. My father who is retired, is ready to support for my spouse sowp. He doesn't have recent ITR. He can give bank statement for 6months. Is this acceptable?

2. My brother who is well settled is willing to support my wife sowp application and give gift deed, ITR etc.

Does the Source of funds of the donor even asked?

Hello All,

Is there anyone who applied for SOWP in 2021 and got the permit successfully. If yes, please share timeline. What are the current processing time?
I applied for my wife SOWP in April 2021 with upfront medical, Biometric was completed on July 22nd and there is no update after that. I am currently on student Visa.

There are few who got the visa approved for SOWP in 2021 (Sources - whatsapp group , Facebook group) . But I'm not sure in this forum if any have got it yet. Many of us including me are in the same boat that is Still waiting for the result. Can't trust the timeline as almost everyone have passed the processing timeline which is mentioned in their website ( 21 weeks ) are yet to receive the result.

I will provide a basic understanding so that you get the concept clear. Source of fund required ( brother or father is not an issue) liquid cash availability in your name is a must. Father's employment or brothers employment as the case may be showing their pf credit or salary credit for basic understanding where the funds have originated from. And other legal document (gift deed) which acts as a proof that this amount is not a loan which otherwise would have been a liability for you. Hope this information helps.

Can we apply for visitor visa for my spouse while her SOWP is in progress?
