Please who knows about this case. I want to include this in my application. An immigration lawyer said it's ok to, but how do I confirm this case so I don't shoot myself in the leg.

While it is true VV is faster in the new portal, the refusal rate is quite very very high. Right now I'd just suggest SOWP, unless you have children and want to use them as family ties to NIGERIA. I.e, apply without them, if you are applying for yourself and the kids for VV, I am afraid the refusal reason of family ties blah blah blah may be states.

Anyways, it's your choice. And again applications differ and VOs differ too. Our prayers should be among others may the VO not be in a bad mood the day s/he will process my file.

AMEN and Thank you.

Is appointment letter and leave letter not enough hometies? because the spouse is a teacher in govt school. and will be visiting for the july to sept long vacation

If that is the only ties you have, you should just keep praying. I hope you submitted info on parents and siblings, landed property, pension account. Because I submitted all of these and my application was still refused. It's just sad! Applications are different, though, All the best!

Please gurus. I mistakenly clicked that I had biometric already while I was making my kids TRV application and as a result I didn’t get biometric request letter after my application submission. It’s one month now and nothing has been done on my application. Please should I withdraw this application. What should I do . Please I appreciate your responses.

Hi, I have been a silent follower of this thread and I have read almost every comment here just to make a informed decision. I just got my admission and I am about to start my Visa application process. Now the question I have bothering me is this, is it advisable for me to apply for my student study Permit with my wife and 2 kids? Or I should apply then go first and use the normal VV or Sowp route that a lot of people use here to bring them to join me?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Henny52: 12:28am On Apr 30, 2022
Go ahead and apply with your family and don't let anyone talk you out of it. Show that you have enough funds to cover you all, Show your home ties. Just package your application well, no loose ends and you will all get it that's fact. Also, upfront Medicals for you all is necessary. All the best.

Hi,

It's okay. DON'T withdraw your application.

You can pay for biometric through this link:

https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/epay/order.do?category=10097

Then you upload the receipt in your portal and/or via webform. Once IRCC gets it, they will send you a biometric request.

Best of luck

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by technix: 1:40pm On Apr 30, 2022
Please apply together as previously advised. Moreover, even if you apply alone, IRCC (new portal) will ask you if your spouse is accompanying you, and that you should pick 'yes' even if your spouse will join later.

Hi, when applying, you will get a personalized list of forms and documents to submit.

Other documents are those required to support your letter of explanation and family relationship.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by rheene009: 2:55pm On Apr 30, 2022
Apart from sending webforms, emails to Nairobi and emails to MP who hardly help or respond. What else can one do to get a response on what exactly is going on. I heard about “Requesting an Order of Mandamus from Federal Court” is this a thing? My spouses application is 49weeks already and it’s frustrating.

My senior I salute you ooo.

God will help us in this struggle, however I will suggest you try to pretend as if this application is not in existence trusting God it will come out good someday, you can get a job or something or some businesses, I know that they all have to do with planning altogether, I have learnt to wait for the best and while waiting focus on something visible and present to buld my profile like engage in short courses, apply for a program in another country or some sort.

Abeg this sowp no be for fainthearted but God will comfort us

This IRCC are very discriminatory, I just saw on FB now that they approved an Indian that the spouse has even completed the program. I just wonder why they can't just come out bold that we don't want blacks and we all know where to put our energy.

It's just painful that our govts are making us go through all these. If they have utilized our resources well all these things won't happen. But what can we do in light of this current reality? just pained and frustrated.

There is no clear cut procedure they use. The decision is always based on individual VO's frame of mind. Somebody wrote that she invited her sister and the sister did not submit a bank statement and got approved with virtually no travel history. Whereas I have seen somebody with travel history to UK and Germany who was invited by a Canadian citizen brother, but got refused.
