@kife congratulations ....this was really a long journey...
please can you let us know what you did differently that lead to a positive aoutcome ... thanks

*****APPROVAL ALERT******
Indeed, what God can not do doesn't exist...

I moved to Canada as an international student in August of 2016.
From 2017 till 2021 Feb, I have continued to try to bring my wife to join me, we had applied for:

2 study permits- Refused
3 work permits- Refused

The 6th application I reluctantly submitted as the generic refusals were quite annoying already, but to the glory of God that got approved.

Its been 4 painful years of trying and retrying...
Lots of traveling back and forth to Nigeria..

We had concluded plans to relocate to the UK but God came through at the 11.59th hour.

For all those waiting, may your approvals come knocking soon.

If you ever experience delays, please don't give up, get your Gcms, fix their issues and refire, keep refiring...they will eventually approve.


Time line:

NB-Medical was passed in February, though application was refused.

The medical request came even though we had submitted upfront medicals, we raised series of webforms got no response...they just updated to Pass

Goodluck to all the hopefuls

We are waiting for PR next..... grin

Welcome smiley to the club. I pray we all get our OWP approved as soon as possible. I'm a May applicant, medicals passed since June, waiting for eligibility to start. I ordered for my GCMS notes knowing eligibility hasn't started. The wait is killing.

Hubby and babies applied in May. Hubby did upfront medicals.
They received a medical request on July 21 but we emailed them to remind them hubby had already passed upfront medical so they sent PPR on Jul 23.
My children's medical was updated as passed on Aug 2nd. PPR was sent 10 Aug.

I sent this because I know that this kind of news encouraged me when I was waiting. I hope it encourages someone. I give God the glory actually because he was merciful and prospered our efforts:

I reached out to them a lot
I sent a travel exemption request via the webform and email (4x. lol)
I reached out to the MP in my area.
I leveraged on the services of my school immigration advisors
my documents were very detailed and extra so they won't have anything to request or delay over

It will end in praise.

SoFaithly:

The SOWP is a different type entire. It is known as the SOWP; get it via google and it will take you to the page direct. For your 6yr old, it is a matter of ticking as a dependant that will be accompanying you then do a detailed SOP stating how you wish to look after the child and meet their needs both financially and in parental care. You will have to sufficiently prove that their accompanying you is to a best interest .


Thanks so much. truly appreciate the steer.

Hi all,

My hubby and 2 kids got approved today. Application was submitted on Dec 4, 2020. Did upfront medicals in April and updated to passed in July. Sent a lot of webforms and I also contacted our MP here. We got passport request today after 8 months, also my kids authorisation letters were approved because we applied for visitors visas for the kids. I guess hubby doesn't require authorisation letter because I applied for the 3 of them but they only sent the authorisation letters for the kids.

Good morning and congratulations to you all who just received PPR and TA.

Please can you tell us your timeline? Like when you submitted your application?
I applied in April 2021 and my biometrics was updated same April but I haven’t gotten a medical request and people who applied after me have since gotten medical request.
What could be the problem?

There is no harm in you going for Upfront medical.

So that the time they did finalize and ask you to go for medicals is what they would use to ask for ppr.

There is a reason why even ircc do encourage upfront medicals.

Hi Eilenora, Did you get a study permit for your kids at the port of entry, I found it on IRCC website that children are allowed to attend school with their visitor's visa as long as the parent lives in Canada. Secondly, can you please tell me if your spouse got an authorization letter to travel and is he fully vaccinated ?
