45k just like that, it is well!

DeeWan:


Thank you so much. The same man he introduced to me requested for the sum of 45k for Drivers Licence Authentication. Can you imagine? It was so easy for me to detect his cheap dubious trick.

My husband's  SOWP and my 11year old son study permit got approved after the 3rd attempt.

Refused 29th September

Reapplied October 29 before the GCMS notes came because it was delayed.
Medical for my husband November 15 ( my son had done his medicals earlier)
Medical passed November 22
GCMS notes finally came in late November- December 2021 (applied for hubby and the kids and they all came at different dates, one even came in the middle of December) GCMS notes showed the VO was concerned about the cost implications of running 2 homes and home ties.
Luckily all those concerns had been adequately tackled in the SOP during reapplication.
In the course of waiting a friend who had also applied for study permit for her kids decided to try out the new IRCC portal and got her kids visitor visa approved in 7days so we decided to give it a try too. Visitor visa application was done on the 19th of December 2021...then another round of waiting commenced.

Good evening friends.
Is this new link useful for only visitor's visa alone or can be used for other applications like the sowp?

Are the required documents the same for both visitor's visa and sowp?

Does applying for sowp from inside Canada get faster response than when applying for outside Nigeria?

I want to beg us not to ignore the questions.
This about the 3rx time and posting the same question without responses

This is a good news but for the new portal Visit Visa timeline is becoming months.

Pls did you mention the month you intend to travel in your application and did you contact ircc when it exceeded 14 - 31 business days?

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by jogojogo: 10:33am On Jan 24, 2022
Hello my fellows: I am totally confused and seems lost on some vital procedure in applying for spouse open work permit for my spouse and three kids (all above 5years).

How will this be handled please?
Apply for sowp for my spouse
Apply for study permit for kids

Or there is a specific platform that treats the whole request as single?


At the moment, we initiated the process for my spouse and I have been trying to initiate for my kids but can;t find the option for me to proceed

I have been navigating the paltform with my spouse for two days now without a clear direction.
I need help please
