Haha okay, wow. From what I can see, you people are the ones abusing me. I take back my comment. Every nonsense rumour should not go and jump inside river. Everyone don't stay hopeful. Be discouraged. Happy? Thanks.

Jeboy:
I was just appalled by the comments. Maybe I will just stop commenting. People have built this community with contribution just because you got approved you have turned to a motivational speaker and damming all the ircc issues we have eaelier highlighted.

Thank you @Kurukuru for stating the obvious.

Excuse me? Can you show me where I abused anybody??

Kurukuru:



Congratulations.
However, you do not need to abuse people just because you are approved. Those people you are attacking only gave information on what they heard. When Canada started giving out visas to spouses. It was through the informwtion sharing like this that people like you got to know. For that fact that Canada is now being strict with visa does not mean some lucky applications will not be approved. The truth there is that it wont be "yafun yafun" like before. For your information, the restrictions on the issuance of work permit is not a rumour, it is real. Please read the below:

Today, the Honourable Randy Boissonnault, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Official Languages, convened representatives from Canada’s largest business associations with one clear message: the TFW Program cannot be used to circumvent hiring talented workers in Canada, and the federal government will take further action to weed out misuse and fraud within the system.

During today’s meeting, Minister Boissonnault outlined the following actions that are being implemented to reduce the use of temporary foreign workers in Canada:

• Enforcing consistent application of the 20 per cent cap policy for temporary foreign workers. This includes the policy for the “dual intent sub-stream”, which applies to temporary foreign workers who intend to apply for permanent residency. Employers using this stream will be subject to more stringent guidelines;

• Applying a stricter and more rigorous oversight in high-risk areas when processing Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs) and when conducting inspections;  

• Considering LMIA fee increases to pay for additional integrity and processing activities; and,

• Looking to implement future regulatory changes regarding employer eligibility (factors such as a minimum number of years of business operations or history of lay-offs by the employer).


Minister Boissonnault also informed business associations that he is considering implementing refusal to process under the low wage stream. If implemented, this would prevent employers in certain areas and industries from using the TFW Program. Additionally, the Government is working on modernizing the TFW Program with a new foreign labour stream for Agriculture and Fish & Seafood Processing, as announced in Budget 2022.

My spouse's visa was approved today. We applied May 3rd. Every nonsense rumour should go and jump inside river. Stay hopeful folks!

Please where did you get this information?

Jeboy:
I am not sure but there is a rumor that family reunion could only be attended to for applicants who have been separated by at least a year from there spouse.

They don't want you to depend on Canada job to pay student spouse school fees.

So how long have you been separated from your spouse you are applying to join?

Can the spouse of the applicant reach out to them via webform too?

when did you apply?

evansky:
Not all, I got my SOWP less than a month after submission. I think it depends on who’s processing your application and how fast your documents are being verified. Then 80% luck 😂

Jeboy:
Work Visa is taken seriously by Canada govt so RROC (Toronto) handles it primarily while Nairobi is the secondary office.

For Visit, Local office handles it primarily while Nairobi is the secondary office.

Please what's RROC's email?

Please which visa office handles applications from Nigeria? It's the one in Nairobi right?

Hi, is it normal for eligibility not to have started more than 2 months after submitting an application?

Hi everyone,

Does a study permit become invalid (even if it has not expired) once one submits their PGWP application? Also, what if the student graduates and submits their PGWP application while their spouse's SOWP is still being processed? Will that affect the application in anyway?

Hi, please what emails did your wife send the message to? Thank you

Frankuzo22:
I’ve been learning silently since I found this platform. Time to share guys.

Application/BIL: November 6, 2023
Upfront Medical: completed on Nov. 15, 2023
March 7, 2023: I contacted local MP who contacted IRCC on my behalf.
IRCC asked local mp to check back if we don’t get response by… Infact local mp had to follow up many times.
June 3: Request for additional documents(recent 6 months statement from couple, we added updated employment references from both and payslips.
Passport request: June 14, 2023
*NOTE*
May11: I had my wife send an emotional email to the bunch of addresses I found on this platform. RROC acknowledged the email and responded thus
“Good day,

We acknoledge receipt of your mail. note that your email address does not match with what we have on rec, and that we will be unable to…
Reason for the above response: I used RCIC consultant.
However, their system generated a sort of gcms notes which was included in their response( I guess they know the sender is the legitimate person being represented).
The gcms showed “REVIEW REQUIRED” on eligibility and that gave me sleepless days and nights.

It ended in praise. I sincerely hope this inspires someone.

Bobomaigida:


You can chat them up, they have a funny system that blocks access alot

Is there a way to reach them? Because they're not responding to calls. When my spouse went to their office, they didn't respond. They want people to pay money to the agents outside to reschedule Biometrics that we already paid for. VFS is now corrupt it seems. Please if anyone knows a way around this, I would really appreciate it. This has been on for a week now

Hello, I am trying to reschedule a missed biometric appointment on VFS website and its not letting me do it. Any idea why?

It's VFS global right?
What does one need to take to the appointment? Thank you

AdoChel:
Hi everyone, please what's the name of the website where one can book a biometric appointment in Lagos? Thank you

I'd appreciate any answers 🙏

Hi everyone, details of one's prospective employment/employer are not required for the SOWP right? If so, one can just leave this section blank right? This is the 1295e form.

Thank you so much for your response. I suspected the same

AgEcon:
For the authority to rlease personal infor, you must hand sign, otherwise, they won't process that document. It must be hand signed with a blue pen. You cannot sign on the PC. Print form and sign, then scan in color.

Did you complete the authority to release personal information form?

evansky:



You can’t sign. Just leave the signature part blank.

Hi, please how did you sign the forms electronically? Adobe is telling me to subscribe to premium to use the signature function.

evansky:


After my eligibility was completed, I got my PPR the nxt day.

Anyone know? Thank you

AdoChel:
Hi guys, how can I sign the IRCC forms? Adobe reader is not allowing me sign without subscribing to premium, especially the authority to release personal information form.
If the applicant's spouse in Canada is the one with the principal funds i.e. the sponsor, can the applicant still include an account statement even if the account has been active for less than 6 months?
I'd appreciate a response from anyone 🙏

I think they should be able to give you as long as you've enrolled for the semester and registered your courses.

Ocool:


Enrollment Letter? Can the university/college give someone who is yet to pay tuition fee?

Hi everyone. Please has anyone here applied for a US visiting visa while studying in Canada? What was the process like? Thank you

Please is there anyone here who was fully vaccinated when they travelled? Please were you exempt from quarantine?

Have you gotten it now? Did you send your passport to Lagos or Abuja? I'm wondering if it's because I sent it to Lagos.
I've sha sent emails and webforms

shupy:

Same here o. IRCC and their anyhowness. I thought PPR will bring an end it but I was wrong.

My passport got to me two days ago and it still hasn't come. Sigh

IntimidationJay:
it usually comes a day or two after the passport has been stamped. If your passport was stamped today, you will get it tomorrow or next.

Please is there anyone here who didn't get their Letter of Introduction immediately their passport was stamped?

Yes, it's possible to have two sponsors. I'm not sure of the second part

Oviebright:
Please people don't usually reply me here but this is very important, my mum and dad plan to be my sponsor for my application. Would it be possible to have 2 sponsors? Living expenses is 12k cad. What amount of money would be strong for a decent statement of account for 6 months from my sponsor?

Please are fully vaccinated people required to do the 2-week quarantine?

Thank you so much
