so wrong

We should always ignore when we are not sure. Pls!

i have suffered a setback during my application because of wrong info shared here. Let's help one another with apt knowledge and not guess work or hearsay. I believe this is the purpose of this group.

One love pals!



Yes, It's better to be silent than give a wrong info. I might have actually answered the questionnaire wrongly. Guess i will just upload the upfront medical results via webform for the kids. and also still attach it to the spouse's result. Cos i'm not sure there's much option for me.

I can't say. Do a wider check on youtube. You might see a guide there.

All the best!

Hello Nairalanders

Please I have a quick question.
With the latest updates on the ircc, is it compulsory a pgwp have a job before applying for the spouse's open work permit even if they want to FLAGPOLE?

THANKS IN ANTICIPATION

Let him travel to Canada on VV. Then flagpole. Mind you he can't flagpole on arrival. He has to do that after he has entered on VV.
Please teekay, I would like to ask did ur spouse apply 4 both visit n SOWP at d same time...cos I'm in d same shoes...I applied for visit visa n it's taking so much time n I'm thinking I should apply for SOWP..my spouse study visa has bin granted n my own Vv application is taking so much time.

I did not apply for SOWP, as I Shuttle between Naija and Canada. Presently on VV. But you can apply for both I guess. My first application for VV was on the old platform after much delays, I applied on the new platform and was given, the old platform application was canceled by IRCC after over a year.

Hello good people

Please help me!

I submitted my passport to Vfs Abuja through UPS Courier. UPS has already confirmed that it has been delivered.

However, after 2 days , I am yet to get a tracking number or mail from Vfs.

Is this normal? Or could something be wrong?

Eligibility review started May 17

BVL correspondence dropped May 19 without PPR.

Is this a normal thing because I see most people getting BVL and PPR same time

Hello everyone.
Thanks for all the wonderful updates.

Please I have a question and will appreciate a response.
I applied for study permit with my family (SOWP and vv for my 2yrs kiddo)
My biometric letter has dropped but that of my spouse is yet to drop.
Is this normal?
Should I send a webform to request for his?


I'm a little confused. Should I go ahead an book for my biometric screening or wait a little longer for that of my spouse?

NB: I'm for September intake. We submitted on the 19th n I got mine same day. We will save some cost if we traveled together as per accomodations-wise (coming from Abakaliki to Abj).
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by OkukuOne(m): 9:18pm On May 20, 2023
No rush! it's normal

Give them from now till Tuesday evening, if no response, then you can send a webform on Wednesday.

N/B:
It is weekend. Peace be still.

Good luck!

Na their way. Those guys nearly gave me a high BP. The same thing happened to me. Mine nearly took a week. I had to write them two mails before they send the tracking ID. I suggest you do same.

I'm a newbie here though I have been going through the page

My spouse is currently in UK on student Visa. He will be done with study by December 2023. He applied to a school in Canada and got admitted for January intake but want to defy to May 2024.

1. Can he apply for his study visa over there in UK or do he need to come back to Nigeria to apply?

2. Do we need to apply for my SWOP or it better to apply when he gets his visa. I'm in Nigeria. Note that he has a job,land property and age parent as home tire

Our primary concern is if he can apply in UK

I don't know if there is anyone that have applied from UK and got his/her study visa
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by nacos: 4:57am On May 21, 2023
I have a brief inquiry. Regarding imm5707 (family information), should I print the form, sign it, scan, and then upload it? Or does the electronic signature prior to the final submission suffice?

Just fill online, don't print. Electronic signing not a must.

He can apply from anywhere in the world as far as you have a good story to tell. However, it is preferable from where you have full residency.

2. Do we need to apply for my SWOP or it better to apply when he gets his visa. I'm in Nigeria. Note that he has a job,land property and age parent as home tire

All mentioned here are good items to tell a proper love story about home tie. If the money is there, it is always better to apply for the family (SP, SOWP, and VV for minors) same time. Write a good SOP and gather all the supporting doumens and shoot.

Good luck!

Good day everyone,
I did an upfront medical last year November but the work permit application I used it for was refused as a result of the short time remaining on my spouse study permit.I did the medical using my old passport.
However,I am in the process of submitting a spouse open work permit for me and study permit for my kids and we now have a new passport,can I use the medical report for this application since it is still valid till November this year or do I need to redo another medical.The medical report is referencing my old passport as the 'identity document presented'
Please I need your advise
Thank you

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Princessmay11: 9:41am On May 22, 2023
Hello, kindly share the email you sent webform to that they responded so quickly. Because I have sent some and no one has gotten back to me.
buzzme:


Hi @Princessmay11, it will surely end in praises. If it pleases you ehhh, you can kindly remind them to expedite your application via Webform. That’s what I did few days ago when I noticed my wife’s changed.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by OkukuOne(m): 11:14am On May 22, 2023
Your new passport is also referenced in your new passport. No need to fear. it's fine and still valid.

Trust you are doing great. Thank you for the advice

However, no headway still. I sent mail and even called. The customer care agent said the passport isn't in their system.

Today is the 3rd day without tracking ID from VFS Abuja. This is becoming depressing. What else should I do?
