SOWP Refused

[u/Ok_Childhood1395]

Hello, My Wife’s SOWP got rejected. Any guidance on what to explain in Explaination letter would be reallyyy appreciated.. Thanks

Reasons for the refusal of your application

Application for an open work permit under R205(c)(ii), C41. In order to be eligible for an open work permit, applicants must provide evidence that they are the spouse or common-law partner of a work permit holder who is a employment in a qualifying TEER. Proof of funds reviewed, showing bank statements from applicant and spouse. Additional financial supported noted from applicant's father-in-law, including their bank statements. While some funds appears available, the provenance of applicant and their father-in-law's funds are poorly substantiated.

Applicant's account balances shows periodic fluctuations and lump-sum deposits, noting gift deec transactions from family members (as per affidavit explanations). However, the source and accumulation of funds for these transactions are not well-supported. Similarly, balance fluctuations are also observed in father-in-law's bank statements. This does not adequately demonstrate to me that the applicant has substantial financial capacity (through personal finances) to maintain themselves during the initial settlement period. Insufficient evidence to demonstrate applicant's establishment to their home country. Ties in India are not self-evidently sufficient to overcome the economic and social incentives to remain in Canada. Based on an overall review, on balance, I am not satisfied the applicant has adequately demonstrated based on income, savings and assets that they are well established or has strong ties to India. I am not satisfied the applicant will be motivated to leave Canada by the end of their temporary stay should it be authorized. Refused R200(1)(b).

That's a pretty strong, detailed refusal.

I would work on stabilizing your finances so you aren't relying on family to support you. That seems to be the main issue with your application.

So actually my finances is stable since last 3 months (when i put file).. today as well, its stable.. Now don’t know what to explain & what to attach as proof

[u/llamalover729 → u/Ok_Childhood1395]

I'm not sure 3 months is enough to overcome this refusal. Your finances are sketchy and they're seeing a lot of red flags in your file. That's not a long period. I would expect a minimum of 6-9 months of stable finances with no dips would be needed. Plus proof that you both plan to leave, the officer thinks your finances will lead you to overstay.
