Please Skull4eva, When applying for the upfront medical through IOM. Please what type migrant type to be selected from the drop-down list for example; Family Migrant/Sponsorship, Immigrant, Skilled Migrant, and Student. I just want to know since the application type is SOWP. Moreso, what type of visa is to be applied for the kids. I can see that someone used VV whereas some people advise using Study for the kids. I appreciate your response in sharing light to my questions. Thank you.

jogazino:

Before sweetjj responds let me just say this the visa type for ur kids depends on their ages. If ur kids are less than 4yrs u can apply for vv but for those above 5years that can go to elementry school and above u can apply for a study permit. So let me ask what are their ages?

Hi, yes your spouse needs to do medical for SOWP. However if you want a short stay visa it should be VV you will need to apply for and he does not need medical if the stay will be less than 6months. Honestly, I really don't know how to show your spouse will return because in my VV application that was refused we showed everything like one month leave letter from work and all, aged parents to care for yet it was refused. I learned the new portal uses AI (Chinook or whatever they call it), hence the high refusal rate.

I don't know your reason for wanting your spouse to return however, when applying for sowp, it's best to say he will come to work to support you while you school, whatever he decides to do after they grant him his sowp is totally up to him.

For forms, when you apply for work permit as spouse of international student and fill your information, it will give you the compulsory documents you need to submit, another however is that most time the mandatory forms are barely enough. So you need to merge the other documents as a pdf and submit in the optional documents section.

Finally, I suggest you apply for SOWP in the gckey even when you are still here, who knows he may get it and who also knows things may change in the future and he decides to work and not leave Canada.

All the best!

hayqinsbFX:

Oh wow thanks so much for this elaborate response..

In the case ,I eventually apply for sowp and my spouse still wants to return to Nigeria..what reasons can I give? Won't it be contradictory that I applied for sowp and spouse wants to return? Cos like you wrote sowp is for spouse to work while their partner studies.

Cos the honest truth is that he has to return,there is a lot of things he's doing here..but of course, he will eventually join us permanently or temporarily long stay..but this initial time he will return..I just need him as an escorts esp cos I will be travelling in winter and with kids..

I appreciate your kind response

SweetJJ:


Once they approve his Visa, I don't think it matters. He can travel and come back whenever he wants. There is no rule mandating him to stay back in Canada. Especially as there is intention of him joining you much later. .....and no it is not contradictory that he needs the Visa to provide you support while you school.

By the way, do you mean you and your kids has gotten a Visa already?

skull4eva:


Was ur spouse study permit denied. Please tell me the full information.

nnemak:

BisolaOlu:
Hello everyone, My son’s Requested medical test has been passed since July 6 th and till now no update. What can I do?

BisolaOlu:
I am on a Study permit, his application is attached to his father's. Initially, I applied for VV for him alongside his dad SOWP in Nov, Medical request came for his dad and his was rejected on June 6 asking him to apply for a study permit (8 yrs old ) and not VV. When we applied for Study for him,PPR for his dad and medical request for him on July 4th then his medical passed on July 6th.Since then no update.

Good morning House, Please I want to apply for SOWP and Student Permit for my kids and have some few Questions..

- Should the application be made under the Principal applicant GCKey account or should I open a new account.

- Where do I even start from because in all honesty don't even know where to apply. Will it be one application to cover the three or three seperate applications...

-Is the Study permit forms for Kids same as the one for students?

Please I need someone to guide me, thanks
