Hello everyone!

My wife applied for SOWP and VV for our kids to join me (PhD student) in Canada. Here is the application timeline.

Submission date: November 7, 2021
Biometrics date: November 17, 2021
Upfront Medical: March 15, 2022
MP contacted IRCC: April 27, 2022 (Eligibility not started)
MP contacted IRCC: May 27, 2022 (Eligibility not started)

We have sent countless emails to Nairobi but we only received generic emails from them like the one below.
Please, what else can we do to expedite the visa processing? The waiting is disturbing and depressing.

Thanks and I look forward to your reply.

Wow back to back congratulations for 2022 applicants.

It also seems unfair to 2020/2021 applicants, i believe it's a tactic to make 2020/2021 applicant withdraw their application and reapply. I notice there have been changes with Indian applicants who were in this situation. They began calling IRCC out, and sending webforms for how bias they are and it work for some.

Silently reading nairaland i can tell only 10% MPs are helpful to applicants, 80% only check for updates, the other 10% won't respond. I understand the Visa is a privilege but we need to start calling them out legally so this can stop. I know of someone on here who's application is still pending since 2020.

thank you ....yours is on its way
really don't even know what next to do ......what is the latest requirement traveling with kids and kids under 7 years old....

Jonaholorun:
Congratulations send the passport again for the SOWP, and he should travel with that instead of the visit. I have heard of someone here who got two on the same passport.

PPR For SOWP, Study PERMIT for 2 kids..

Did VV for myself to join wife in Canada Nov. denied same month Nov 2021
Nothing different had to link children study permit for US citizens to my SOWP application which which gave me reasons to ask for expedited processing since it had passed processing times ....Viola....straight to PPR for me and the kids

Hello pals
Could a long period of time on Eligibility Review stage means that the chances of a positive outcome may be high?

Toceen2022:

Negative! It doesn't matter at all.
Someone on the study permit thread waited for 10 months and 3 weeks, and was still rejected.

My advice is to keep sending emails to IRCC as
Well as webforms and contacting your mp to follow up. I have been waiting since july 2021 for the same. Am sure some one or two people on this platform have been waiting since March 2021

WarriBrandChic:

PPR!

SOWP for wife and VV for infant.

SOWP + VV Submitted: January 12th 2022.
PPR: June 14th 2022.

This our applications get K-leg to be honest. So, I came to Canada in September 2021 as a fully funded research student at the University of Calgary.

January 12th 2022, I submitted SOWP for my wife and VV for my child.
After learning about the SOWP applications' delays, I submitted a new VV for both of them on the new portal.

6weeks later, the VV applications on the new portal were refused. "Reason: Family Tie"
Then my child's VV on the old portal was withdrawn by IRCC. (Obviously, it is not possible to run two VV simultaneously)

Requested for GCMS note and it came with just one line "You have a strong family tie in Canada"

I refire both VV again on the new portal on April 23rd and tackled the refusal reason.

On June 8th, I received a Medical Request for the SOWP on the old portal (e-Medical slip that I submitted along with the SWOP application in January, which dem never update ooo), so I emailed them the e-slip that very day, and the status changed to passed within 24 hours.

To my surprise, my child's VV application which had been withdrawn on the old portal changed it's status to "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirements"

Both approval, SOWP + VV came today on the old portal.

ShoutOut to JustMellow of GCMSwriters.

May the Love Letter soon be released for all awaiting applicants.
