Dear all, I often hear people say open work permit application (paper route) is processed in Lagos visa office, is it okay to contact Lagos immigration email for any enquiry as regards such application?. Thank you. |

Update :Submitted in ABUJA VFS, July 14; got feedback Sept 27. CIC denied my wife's application yesterday. They stated 1. purpose of visit and 2. Personal Assets/Financial Status. While I'm not particularly sure why they marked those, I fear they might have arrived at that decision following 2 things. 1. My wife's level of education. Her NCE result is awaited, so we only used her O'level and Skill, she's into Catering and Events. 2. No account statement for her - she is paid in cash and there was no way to relate her account statement to her job. However, I included my 3 different landed property documents, Statement of N12.775m (GTB), and $35,600CAD from CIBC here in Canada. My GTB has monthly inflow of at least N4m and this is consistent. I used same account to apply for my study visa in 2016. I was pretty sure that funding was not our problem, but not sure why they considered my wife as a 'single' individual (her 'personal' finances). My Problem I was never interested in my wife coming here to work, I just want her to be with me. She is pregnant for the first time and I have no one to take care of her should there be complications during her delivery - due January. I am wondering if she will be approved for a visiting visa if I file immediately, considering that she just got denied SOWP. Any advise guys? |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by paparazzi1987(m): 7:54pm On Sep 28, 2017 |
@StudentsNG this is heartbreaking !! could you please apply for GCMS file to know the actual reasons before you decide the next application path ? my wife too was denied in april based on personal assets and financial status. i was suprised when i saw VO comments in the case file. she was actually refused because we did not include my paystubs !! If yoy apply for visitors visa, your wife might face the same faith if the loopholes are not properly addressed! |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by iamosamede55: 5:59am On Sep 29, 2017 |
StudentsNG:I'm very sorry for the delay. In as much as you have the funds. I spoke to an immigration lawyer provided for international students at uottawa. She strongly advised that your spouse should have her own money in her account. The reason she gave was that the way the immigration officers think is for a scenerio where u and ur wife have a misunderstanding and for some reason u guys don't get along. What then happens to her?? Moreover u will agree with me that the marriages in the western world are not like ours in Africa , hence, the reason for their logic.i will strongly advice that you transfer a reasonable amount to her account even if you choose to apply for a visitor visa.

Your point is obvious, they don't see marriage as we do. To them, marriage can end any day. And like you said what happens to her if such occur. I'll take out a few months. Then reapply after having her baby by next year. This time I will include her account statements and pay slip from her work place. I will have to plead with her employer to start issuing slips, because normally they don't as the business is not that established/formalized. Nothing spoil. Thanks bro. iamosamede55: |

That was a huge success, Big congratuations. Please assist me with your sample SOP My email jepheke@yahoo.com Looking forward to hear from you. Thanks. quote author=sjunad post=59562329]Hello guys, this is my profile First application - Online Timeline (submitted online 17th November and biometrics 18th November 2016). Refused 30th march 2017) Documents attached to lawyer * Scanned international passports * Upfront eMedical * Marriage certificate * Spouse enrollment letter * Spouse student visa * Spouse study permit * Spouse Canada bank account statement with closing balance of $10,000 CAD * Sponsor's 2 Nigeria bank account statement with combined closing balance of 12.5m * Sponsor's business documents * Use of rep form. When it was close to submission, our lawyer now said they didn't require bank statements for online application and there was no place to attach it. We weren't comfortable with it but didn't want to be arguing with professional since that was why she was employed to give advice. We followed her advice and didn't attach bank statements. It was later I now found out that there was a section on the online application to attach other documents where she should have made use of. On the refusal letter they ticked personal assets and financial status. Other reason: You did not demonstrate that you and your spouse have sufficient financial resources to support one year of study and your presence in Canada. I requested the GCMS case note and they wrote reason for rejection: Refused for lack of financial sufficiency. Second application - Paper Timeline (submitted and biometrics 10th May 2017. Passport pick up email 15th August 2017) Documents submitted: My documents * Required CIC forms * Refusal letter from previous application * Representative submission letter * Use of rep form * My letter of explanation * International passports * Previous upfront eMedical (still within a year validity) * Nigeria police report * UK police report (I've lived in the UK for more than 6months) * Marriage certificate * Change of name documents (newspaper publication, affidavit for name change) * BSc and MSc certificate and transcripts * My car documents (as proof of Personal asset) * Deed of gift of a property (as proof of Personal asset) * Birth certificate * Confirmation of employment * CV Spouse documents * Spouse bio data page * Spouse enrollment letter * Spouse student visa * Spouse study permit * Spouse tuition fee statement of account from school showing no outstanding fee as at the time of application * Tenancy agreement with rent payment receipts * Transcript * Unconditional offer letter Sponsor's documents * Two Nigeria bank account statement with combined closing balance of 21m * Sponsor's business documents * Affidavit of support * Bio date page of sponsor My Dad was my sponsor. I didn't submit my own statement of account and hubby's own as the balance was not satisfactory so I wanted it to be clear that he was the one sponsoring my stay in Canada. I used lawyer the second time but we all did the thinking together. I hope this long post helps someone. Wishing everyone success.[/quote] 5 Likes 1 Share |
