He said it’s a PR visa. They probably do not stamp that here in Nigeria.
Cjnick:
Did you submit your passport at the vfs office? Abuja or Lagos?
Visa stamps doesn’t take such time anymore.

I know stamping is not in Nigeria, it's either stamped in Accra or Nairobi but it's taking forever.

I submitted on Thursday as well via DHL to Lagos. Abeg which of the airline is cheaper and less stressful. I was thinking flying Delta but it’s just too expensive. Help me abeg.

Hello House please I just got an email from IRCC concerning my application, can you advice me on what to do next. Pls note that the POF we submitted is my husband’s account. And how long does it take them to get an uploaded document ( we are applying for SOWP and VV for I and my daughter that is 3yrs)

Do an MBS to them and upload the ticket ID, send via your GCkey portal and send it via email as well, They are almost through with your application, typically you have to wait till the end of the deadline for the VO to review the application again.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by mydesk: 8:26am On Mar 19
Please what is an "MBS" I'm guessing it's my monthly bank statement? I already sent them my husband’s statement of account because he's the one sponsoring us so I got confused. I'm I to sent another updated bank statement of the same account we used? Pls its urgent as the deadline given to us is 25th. Also can I upload the document on the 24th as my husband is in Canada and he has sent the bank and email but yet to receive the statement.
Pls gurus in the house help me

MBS is MY BANK STATEMENT, it is an innovative way that banks send statements directly to third parties on behalf of customers. Your spouse needs to make the request for it and he will be given a one page document that will contain Ticket ID and PIN, which he will send to IRCC. That one page they will give you is what you will upload on the GCkey Portal.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Ogbigog: 3:38pm On Mar 19
I will advise you to be know what you’re doing though. MBS is good and will make your application faster as it’s a form of your statement going from the bank to IRCC directly. But you know your husband can’t submit a POF balance of let say 50m and your 6 months MBS is under 5m.

This is breaking news

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by mydesk: 5:07pm On Mar 19
The issue with MBS is that the phone he travelled with that has his app on it is bad so we usually request the statement via email to the bank.
Is there a way the bank can email the statement directly to the embassy pls take note that my husband is already in Canada or should we upload the one the bank emailed to my husband?
Please I need urgent reply as the deadline for this is 25th march. Will it be too late if I upload the statement 23/24th march?

Let him do a request letter to the bank duly signed, requesting the bank to do the MBS for the period he wants, you can deliver the letter to the bank after he sends it to you. The ticket ID and PIN will be sent to his email. Please which bank does he use?
