Please gurus in the house i have a question.
I was told if i applied for a visit visa for my spouse alongside my application, the duration of visit visa will be tied to my study permit(2years)

Please how can i get a 10years visit visa for my spouse. Spouse is not interested in staying in canny land.

Should i apply for a tourist visa for spouse first before my application when apporved or how?
When applying for my study visa, What should i click as to what is my spouse applying for, is it Tourist visa?

I am just concerned about a longer duration.
Those that have gone through this phase come and help me with what to do.

10years visit visa is what i want for my spouse.

PPR, baby!!!!

Oh, wow. What a ride.

Applied for SOWP for my wife and VV for my 2 kids on Nov 17, 2021.

Then applied for VV on the new portal for all three on Dec 30, 2021.

Received GCMS notes 2 days ago, mentioning home ties. Then today, messages about both applications appeared in wifey's inbox. When I saw them, my heart sank. I felt, this is it. E don finish.

I opened the VV on the new portal first. It said "withdrawn because a visa has been issued for your SOWP". It's still like a dream! In short, PPR for SOWP on the old portal (VV for kids withdrawn) and PPR for kids on the new portal.

I have to mention @Lianna2020 for all her help and support. You're absolutely awesome!!!

To anyone still anticipating, please don't lose hope.

Cheers!!!

Good morning.
I am an architect based in lagos and got married last month.
My wife finished from Sheridan College last year and currently working with her 3 years post graduate work permit.
I want to apply for SOWP, please any ideas and advises on supporting documents and LOE points i can add to the application.
Please, i will appreciate any support as i also read through the whole thread.
Note: earlt last month, my independent student visa application when still single was refused based on "not satisfied i will leave canada after study".

My wife and i have been in long distance relationship for so long..spending just few weeks together and getting back to distance is really killing her.
I need every advise to get this right.
Pls any info or idea wilk be much appreciated. Thank you

Since you're in Canada, you could have requested the notes yourself for $5.

Congratulations!

Annoying thing sef is that till now they haven't even sent it.

But na them sabi. I don't need it again.

Good day All,

Is it still advisable to apply for Visitor Visa for spouse and son when an SOWP application is still running ? The SOWP application is now 6 months hold in the system with no decision made yet.

Thanks.

Tired of Canada its been 6 months now and nothing nothing. Really finding it hard to concentrate on this Ph.D. stuff. Getting so sad .

Please if you're coming to Canada don't let anybody advise you to drop your family in Nigeria and come here first. Apply together if they reject apply again.

You can have a SOWP and VV application running concurrently.

You can apply for both. My SOWP is 10months now and nothing yet. Had to apply for vv last month ending. The emotional trauma is killing

I dont seem to understand joint application how? Do you mean u applied for study permit and your spouse sowp?

Yes sir i applied to accompany Study permit. Like when filling SP and asked is there anyone you will like to accompany you to Canada, the answer is Yes, the next form that pops up , I filled it. Thus it was joint application, spouse secured SP and have gone but we didn't hear of any update on my sowp

I get you now. One thing i know for sure is since both applications were together there is likelihood that it has might be approved becos the sp was approved but the delay is from the fact that sowp is not really a priority now except for profession in the shortage list that is profession on high demand. I will advice u request for GCMS notes although there might not be anything in it from the VO contact the MP too to help follow up, and also keep sending webforms and emails. But I read something online about 2 weeks ago now that one of the ministers not trudeau for sure said that SOWP will be taking a year now. And since then the processing time has increased from 39weeks to 46weeks as at yesterday while visit visa moved from 171days to 102 days as at yesterday. Now I will urge u to look into applying for a visit although you need to have strong hometies to prove to the VO that u will return if your visit visa lapse even if your sowp processing is still on.

I believe you wanted to write 171 days to 102 days instead of weeks.............

Please how did you solve this. My family's visa was refused last month based on this. After a whooping one month wait for GCms notes it came out with : client has a strong ties in Canada, like seriously, I have already told you my wife is in Canada and I want to visit her. It was so annoying. How did you solve that? We had submitted all the hometies to Nigeria we can think of.

Can I come inbox please?

Yes sorry that was a typo error

You're right..they might have approved his sowp, just hasn't been updated on the account. Happened to a close fri3nd. SP approved since June 2021 and already in Canada, still waiting for sowp till gcms revealed that it was approved since June 2021 too along with the SP.
So many things dey occur

This refusal reason is nothing but a deliberate arbitrariness of the VO. You can remind them of this Federal Court decision:

In the case of Carlson TACHOT MEnkem Afuah versus the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, 2021 FC 596). Besides, the decision of the officer to refuse my family the visa based on their tie to me in Canada is at variance with the Federal Court decision in Girn v Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2015 FC 1222 at paragraph 32; Tavakoli Dinani v Canada (Citizenship and Immigration), 2012 FC 1063 at paragraph 27; Demyati, above, at paragraph 11), where the court ruled that ‘’ the Officer should not have drawn negative inferences from the Applicant’s family ties in Canada. If anything, the Officer should have considered the financial support the Applicant’s family provides as a positive factor. At the very least, the Officer should have justified his/her reasoning: it is unreasonable to infer that Applicant will remain in the country illegally simply because he has strong family ties in Canada.

Male roommate wanted

Hello guys

Flatmate needed from May 1st in Saint John, New Brunswick (Uptown apartment, 9 minutes walk to MBA campus and close to most amenities)
One room is available and goes for $355/month plus utilities(excluding power and internet). This should be good for a student or new immigrant just landing and need a cost-effective place for the next 3 to 6 months (given the way prices of houses have consistently been on the rise).

Interested, hola(PM)!

U need to create another gckey u can use ur email so that all messages will come to you if you think your spouse dont know much about the process. Sowp is good but are you prepared for the wait? How old are your kids a study permit might be better for the sowp to be faster thats just my view oo.
