Hello. Please how can I reach you please? I don't mind your email address. It's really important. Thanks a lot
kasco2pro:
Thank you.

Well, I don't know of any one that got PPR within one month. Medicals takes atleast 1month, background could be about a month or more afterwards and finally passport request.
But I think there is more emphasis in landing more immigrants this year and years to come. Thus, the rapid rate of application processing.

I have been a silent reader until I asked a question in January about how to update my 28week old application with my husband's renewed study permit (as the old one was going to expire in March).
Well, I got good news!!!
After two previous visa denials and a wait of 33weeks and 4days on my third application I got the Long awaited visa.

-Application submitted : July 28, 2016
-Did biometrics : July 29th 2016
-Updated hubby's new study permit : Jan 16, 2017
-Medical request : February 14 (Most wonderful Val gift I got from God...Yay!!! )
- Did Medicals : Feb 15
-Passed Medicals : Feb 17
-Passport request : Feb 23 ( I booked my flight the same day...hahahaha, couldn't wait no more)
-Passport pick up : Feb 28...
Got my Work permit and social insurance no at the point of entry.
I entered prepared with our wedding album & frames, my correspondence letter, wedding cert, hubby's renewed study permit, hubby's visa page and data page and several other documents, hoping to give the immigration officer anyone he wants... alas ! He only asked to see hubby's study permit and then it was welcome to Canada...lol.

To those who have been denied, please don't give up,
To those still waiting don't be discouraged because when I got here I realised the wait was worth.

Here are the supporting documents I submitted with my application :
- My LOE
- Hubby's LOE
- Wedding pictures & our Old pictures
- Wedding certificate
- Hubby's Car registration
- Hubby's phone bill
- Hubby's statement of account
- Hubby's data page, visa page & study permit
- Hubby's confirmation of enrollment in school
- My Letter of employment
- Introduction letter from my employer
- 3 months pay slip from my work
- My ID from work
- My landed property
- My birth certificate
- My bank statement of account (indicated in my LOE a particular amount that hubby sent ahead for my flight expenses n miscellaneous).

Beyond all these documents, it was God that did it because I submitted necessary documents in my previous applications.
God never fails... tho his promises may tarry yet he makes all things beautiful in His own time.

Hi, it's better you tread with caution. I tried checking the address on Google map. It looks like the structure on that particular plot is a club house. And the surrounding area looks residential to me. Secondly, I found this job ad with the same address used by another company.

It is illegal in Canada to take money from someone in offer of employment.

That is a scam.

You should trust your agent, it's possible that the money is for LMIA, CAD260 is nothing if they will get you an LMIA

My two previously denied applications were for study permit and on each occasion the gave a major reason that they were not convinced that I ll return to naija (my beloved naija that I miss already) and other small small reasons like home ties and insufficient funds. Funny enuf dos documents I submitted back then seemed comprehensive and better than the ones I submitted in my last application (e.g : Dia was more money in my account in d two previously denied applications (money I could account for) , I had my corporate affairs commission cert ... etc) Which is why I attributed the last application success to God. I hope I was able to answer your question.
As for updating here nairaland, I had no time to do dat out of overexcitment and d fact dat I had just few days to prepare for my journey and when I got here it took me a while to get it my head that I'm finally where I am supposed to be...lol. So make una pardon my late update.

Meanwhile it would ordinarily be difficult to secure a study visa while your spouse is also on same kind of permit... Except of course your details was not already shared on the family form.
Congrats again... Trust you'll realise now that the stress was worth it.

I went to Q-life on Tuesday and they told me I can't walk in that I need to book an appointment and the earliest I can get is 24th of April except she squeez me in for Wedessday next week, which she did, in fact I even forgot I have alternatives.
I called children practice and they said I can walk in between 8-10am and I went there on Wednesday morning, very early.
They are very okay and it's 28,050. If you have tattoo or tribal mark, you will pay additional 20,750. lool, I had to pay cos I have tribal mark. They said they will upload within 3-5workings,
q-life upload within 3 working days but booking an appointment... No time!

Tell them if it is for LMIA tell them you will pay it when you arrive. I do not think you should pay money to people you do not know.

If his study permit will expire August (same month when he will complete his Masters) and you will be getting married in June, i would advise you wait until he gets his Post Graduate Work Permit before you apply for SOWP.
