Good to know... hopefully before 1st week of next month.



quote author=wealth360 post=70607629]I did that on monday. I even copied Lagos office and I got an automated message from London stating that they have received it. No response yet. But Lagos office also replied that the application is on active review blablabla....which I know it was a generic message too because same message was sent to a friend too. so we are hoping on God.

Yes. They will run basic checks on him/her. But it is compulsory, else they won't let the baby mix up with other kids on arrival to Canada. Good luck.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Aghatise: 8:45pm On Sep 12, 2018
Thank God for the time to share this:

Student visa received on 23 July 2018

Wife and 4yr old daughter applied on Aug 1, 2018 (Paper Route)

Actual approval: 23 August 2018 (Nairobi- Kenya)

Note: my wife is not working at the moment - homemaker

WIFE and DAUGHTER'S Documents:

1. Wife's SOP
2. Marriage Certificate with newspaper doc for change of name
3. Age declaration
4. BSc Certificate
5. NYSC Certificate
6. Catering Diploma - Part Time
7. Birth Certificate of my two daughters (second daughter is American so we did not apply for her) and my birth certificate too
8. 15 pictures of the family including our wedding on A4 paper
9. Travel history of wife to UK and USA
10. CIC forms for both (SOWP and TRV)
11. Copy of my admission letter / funding by University
12. Copy of my approved visa page
13. Letter from me stating clearly that I will take full responsibility as well as granting my consent for them to accompany me
14. Letter of identification from my bank ( have saving and current account with them)
15. 6 months bank statement - current and savings account (mine)
16. Letter from Stanbic IBTC pension that I hold a pension account with them
17 My pension account statement
18 3 landed proper including house plan
19 Letter of Explanation from me concerning some transactions in my account which were not part of my monthly pay
20. Offer of employment letter (me)
21. 8 months pay slip (me)
22. Letter of promotion (me) and yearly performance increment.
23. Letter of termination of employment
24. Letter from my office in Belgium SVP that the doors are open to me on completion of my studies
25. My travel history (USA, UK, African Countries, Norway, Sweden. Etc..) it was a big book cos of my constant travels..loooool
26. A budget plan for my family covering the 4yrs of my stay including return airfares for all of us.
27 Wife's professional certification

Above all, we just trusted God for it. My wife & daughter's visa was approved in Nairobi - Kenya and noticed that visa was even issued on August 23, 2018 prior to my travel. When I arrived Canada, I sent them a copy of my study permit (September 6, 2018) and Letter of enrolment- SOWP and TRV was already approved before I sent it; guess somebody forgot to send out the passport - only to see an email from VFS for the collection of their passport same day.

It is always good to check with them. My study was approved in less than 3weeks but I got it after 6weeks - when I wrote Nairobi, they replied same day that my case was finalized weeks back(same day, I got an email from VFS)...

For those waiting.. trust him and I am sure it will end in praise.

Hi Guys,

I don't know if this is the right section, I am a Canadian PR holder (living in Canada) and I just got married last month and I am planning to sponsoring my wife (Living in Nigeria) for PR and in the process of waiting for the PR application, I will apply for the SOWP.

Now I kind of have an idea of PR sponsorship process from the reading I have done for the past few days but I just want to double check and confirm I am doing the right thing, that been said here are my questions:

There is no option for online submission, rather I have to collate all the IMM docs and supporting docs from my wife and I and then send it via mail or courier to CIC office Nova Scotia, is this correct ?
My wife doesn't have to show any financial document since I will be the one to show those docs?
My wife is not working at the moment, will that raise a red flag ?

If any one here has done this before, I will appreciate a detailed explanation, thanks y'all
