FINAL PPR ALERT, it has ended in massive praises! Alhamdulilah!!

We received PPR for the remaining members of my family earlier today and also got a travel restriction exemption authorization approval for my 2 year old son. After we waited for two weeks after the first set of PPR for my daughters, we decided to send their passports on Monday to Abuja. We did to avoid the pitfall of missing 30-days deadline for submitting passports. The passports were delivered on Wednesday due to Tuesday holiday. Counterfoil for the girls were updated on the portal Friday and DHL picked up stamped passport same day - tracking shows it is en-route to Lagos. We woke up to receive PPR for my wife and son this morning, as well as a travel authorization for ONLY our son - since he applied for visitor and we also applied for the travel restriction exemption twice. The letter of introduction for the girls dropped too.

We are juggling many things right now and the logistics are crazy. I pray that everyone waiting for their PPR gets it soonest. I understand what you all are going through because I was in the same boat for over 5 months and I not unaware that several more have been waiting longer. Hang in there, be hopeful. Your time will come very soon. It has finally ended in praises. Many thanks to everyone who rendered assistance in one way or another on this platform in this journey. You are all too many to list but you know thy selves and the Almighty God know you even more. Your rewards will be in multi-folds and bountiful. Also, I am grateful for the emotional support everyone provided all through the process.

Again, it has ended in praises!! Alhamdulilah!!

See updated timeline below:

15th May - Application submission with upfront medicals for 3 out of 4 (All 3 had April 2021 passport expiry dates)
19th May - Medicals for Spouse and two kids (student permits) updated to passed
25th May - Wife completed bio-metric while kids didn't due to minor ages
3 months - Nothing; not even ghost update. Focused on passport renewal process and NIN reconciliation wahala.
18th August - Sent Nairobi inquiry email and got normal auto-response immediately
19th August - Nairobi replied my inquiry saying the usual stuff - under active review & unable to say when to finalize
19th August - Applied for GCMS notes for all
26th August - Applied for written travel authorization exemption (WTRE) for all
4th September - Emailed MP office covering my residential area
5th September - Emailed MP office covering my school area
8th September - Senior Advisor (staff) to MP covering my house replied - " I should reach out in 2 weeks if I haven’t received anything......."
9th September - Eligibility review commenced -- no ghost update - just random login and saw it
10th September - Received medical request for 2 year old son (who didn't do upfront medical since it was visitor visa for him).
10th September - 3 emails responses per travel authorization application - one shows son's WTRE is authorized & others tagged "courtesy"
17th September - Completed son's medical exam and uploaded result via webform and emails to Nairobi - no reply.
26th September - Son's medical updated to passed
6th October - Received PPR for daughters' study permit applications.
18th October - Sent daughters' passports to Abuja using DHL return service

18th October - Same day after I had sent 2 passports, the MP's office replied my umpteenth inquiry saying that "regarding the progress of requests, they are all linked and processed together. Verification of eligibility and medical results was accepted. The next step concerns the final decision which must be rendered (we do not have the date). Regarding your second question, I spoke with an IRCC agent who told me that you could send the 4 passports together by putting an explanatory letter explaining that it is easier financially and logistically to do like this and there shouldn't be any problem, but don't hang around in sending passports."

18th October - I replied MP's office that I had sent 2 passports and that I wouldn't want to risk sending all four because am not sure someone won't mix things up just because there was not PPR for 2 of the passports. In my experience, most people who work in customer service etc behave like robots lacking latitude to apply discretion in sensitive or unfamiliar situation. I didn't want anyone to use me as experiment.

22nd October - Daughters' profile showed counterfoil have been issued - visa stamped - expiry date is 4 months earlier than my own expiry date. No problem because that is valid for 2 years essentially.

23rd October - PPR for my wife and son dropped along with travel restriction exemption approval for my son & the girl's letter of intro.

The grace and joy shall go round by the special grace of God Almighty.

chichi93:
Hi guys! I just wanted to drop this here. I have an ongoing SOWP but I applied for visitors visa with the new portal on the 28th of October and it got approved today. It’s actually possible to apply for visitors while waiting on another TRV or PR application. I understand that this is something some people may not be brave enough to try without seeing who it has worked for first, which is why I dropping this here. Good luck guys!

Congratulations on your approval.
I would like to find out what time date you chose for return on your Visitors visa application. Someone advised I put the date my spouse is ending his program as return date. I plan to put January as travel date and his program is ending april 2023.
Kindly advise me on what to do. Thanks

Are you for real asking this question again?

Good evening all... Has Canada stopped issuing visa due to the travel ban they gave Nigerians.

Hello house.

LadyBlaq:
Hello house.

Update, it finally went through with another device. Turned out my system was blocking the payment portal page.

Akannitommy:
No idea but in my own case the MP office didn't ask for consent form. What they asked for were full details of all applicants in the submission (no abbreviation of names). If not already in the form, include a table showing names of all members in the application, relationship to you, type of visa sought, application number, UCI #, and then note that your own details should be included as the family member in Canada. Emphasize need for family reunification (that's the catch phrase) in all manners you can - directly, implied, etc. Best wishes.

Hi Akannitommy, I sent a PM, I want to inquire about the MPs you contacted. My spouse also studies in Concordia Uni.

Good day all, where do I send evidence that I've done the medical IRCC requested for, Nairobi or? Should I mail them or webform or both?

What God cannot do does not exist oh!!! It has ended in praises for my 2 kids. PPR just landed for them. I am still expecting my husbands own though but God will surely complete what He started.

We applied on Oct 8th. Abeg follow me bless this mighty God!!!

Congrats and we thank God on your behalf. Are these study visas or visitor's visa? If they are visitor's visa quickly apply for travel restriction exemption authorization letters for anyone of your family with visit visa. They can't travel without the authorization. It shall end in praises.

Hi everyone,

My SOWP application and SP applications for my 3 children were refused sometime in September 2021. I applied for GCMS notes on October 1st and received the notes today (December 11th). It took about 71 days for the notes to arrive.

The VO's main reasons for refusal have been quoted below:

“Adult male and 3 children intending to join spouse/parent in Cda, currently in status studying a Masters. I note that spouse’s application was submitted.

On that application, husband and 3 children were listed as non-accompanying.

No guarantee that either will find work to support themselves and 3 children. Given that all deps were listed as non-accompanying and that SP adult recently arrived in Cda, I question the truthfulness of that original statement. Entire family travelling together reduces socio-economic ties to Nigeria. On balance, reviewing all documents before me including information available in the original SP application for adult female, I am not satisfied that PA would respect T&C of entry and leave Cda by the end of an authorized stay.”

Please, GURUS in the house should suggest how I can tackle the refusal reasons.

Please, if you have found yourself in a similar situation, how did you come out?

Thank you in advance of your useful comments.

(Pls note: Wifey travelled to Canny since early Septemer 2021)

Just sharing my opinion.

I guess SP used you and the kids has ties to Nigeria. A lot of us do that but I think you need to explain in your SOP a sudden change of decision on why you and the kids need to be with your wife.

Secondly you need some strong ties to Nigeria like properties, Job promotion In your office a “juicy offer” that will proof you will return to Nigeria, or a company commitment, family commitment like grand parents and so on.

Gurus in the house please advise.

Thank you sir. They are study visas.

You can reapply prayerfully with strong LOE why you and the children need to support your spouse in Canada (Emotionally, Physically etc) also you need to show POF and also with landed property, Registered Company Certificate If both of you have aged parents show pictures evidence to prove to VO that you still have aged parents you are caring for that too can serve as family ties.

Congratulations!!

I recently receive my study permit and presently in Canada.

I wish to apply for my husband and three children 13, 12 and 3
My dilemma is what to apply for my husband as he is not staying because he has a good business Nigeria. Should I apply for SOWP for him or visitor? What about my 3 year old? Study permit or visitor. I sincerely want them here as soon as it’s possible because of my 3 year old, I do not know if sowp will be faster or visitor. I’m applying for study permit for my 13 and 12 year old.
Please what should the proof of funds be for SOWP and for Visitor? Iv done a year schooling already, though online, just hit here 2 weeks ago!
Please advise me.
