Hello everyone. I am a newbie on nairaland and so hardly post, but read a lot. I am a JANUARY 2020 applicant and after 17months of waiting, I received my approval in June. Arrived Toronto today. Will share my timeline and experience once I have settled in. This is just to encourage us, that God never forgets, He will come through and you will testify.
Thank you all for the wonderful information posted here which helped at one point or the other.

Na wa o, the wait is killing , God help us o...

The waiting can send someone to depression.....if not for Africa family support system. ...it's not easy

But in everything God is faithful. It will end in praise

I feel SOWP applications are not prioritized at the moment. There seems to be alot of drags on this type of application. Has anyone who recently applied for SOWP for their family after arriving in Canada (as international student) got approval or got GCMS notes that indicates some form of activities on these particular application(s)? My family appled about 2 months ago, upfront medical passed within 4 days, biometric completed and updated, but eligibility has not shown started since then. Anyone - or know someone - with something different than this?

Some students are getting it ... the study permit and spousal open work permit approval at same time . I always see that on nairaland student visa tread

lawfree638:
Study permit and open work permit approved same day - yesterday.

Not NSE route!!

To encourage someone and increasing your faith


It's possible.

Congratulations!!!!!!

Please when did I submitted the SOWP application

subzheero:
Processing time is now 36weeks

It is well o
Am already in my 31st week
But am sure of God's faithfulness for my approval this July.

Let's keep hope alive as we activate our faith.

SoFaithly:
Jesus, remember you said “it is NOT GOOD for a man to be alone”? therefore, I stand by your word, cause there to be commotions of approvals, specifically on this platform before the end of this midst of the year July, for the sake of your people that are trusting you to reunite with their spouses, Jesus, turn every policy and in their favor, because I know that the heart of the King is in your hands. Thank you my father, in Jesus name I pray. Amen.

NB; I already told God I want my wife’s visa approved before the end of this July, I don’t know or have an idea how he will do it, I just know he WILL DO IT�, and all eyes will see it and hear it here. You can enroll in this faith school too!

AMEN....,......Amen.........AMEN

Jerryjack022:
Hello everyone,
Pls if I marry my fiancée before my departure, is it possible for her to apply for sowp after my arrival in Canada?

N.B: In my study visa application, I am single and she wrote a support letter for me that we gonna get married after I return back to Nigeria.

Thanks

When you arrive Canada
Settle down first .... maybe the world will be back to normal...u can then apply for visiting visa for her
While her visit visa is still valid
You can both come back for your wedding
And start anything spousal from there.

Eilenora:
Guys I need clarification about something, the visa they will put on the applicant's passport, will it be the TRV and then they get the work permit upon entry? If its the TRV, will the tenor be the remaider of the time on the applicant's passport, or the remainder of the time of the spouse's study permit as in my case. I ask because my permit expires december, which is when my passport expires. I am currently in the process of getting a new passport and filing for an extension of my study permit. The question is; if I am unable to achieve all this before hubbys application comes out, will it affect him? He just applied for a new passport so he has 5 years on it. Will he be given a TRV with the 5 years and then when he gets to POE, he will be given a work permit with the length of my study permit. Hopefully my application for an extension would have been out by then. Hopefully my questions make sense

Yes is TRV
Ur work permit is at the point of entrance
Ur TRV and work permit will be attached to that of the principal applicant you can't be given any work permit beyond the period of stay given the principal applicant
But it easy to extend or renew if the need arises

muyiroro:
Someone got approval today

Timeline 3 weeks
Noc A
Family of 4
Employer restricted with Nomination from New BRUSKWIK

Congratulations to the person
God please remember me o

patriciai:
Pls help a sister out, I am really confused. I just did my medicals at Qlife last week Tuesday and found out today that I am pregnant. Had no idea at all. Pls can this affect my application and what can I do.

Wao and you did an x-ray....that unhealthy I hope it wouldn't affect the baby discuss with you doctor

As for the medicals.....no issue
Because pregnant test is not part of the test an x-ray is just for TB check

Izulink:
I checked the IRCC web is not going through this what i got USER LOCKOUT.

Have you been logging into ur application dashboard before if so
Could it be a password issue
Maybe password reset would do
Or network issue
Use another browser....

If all fails send an e mail of webform with ur complain

Izulink:
Anndav please can i have email address or watapp num pls.

annaolatiilu@gmail.co

Abiodunnn:
Why shouldn’t I tell you that?

Processing time is crazy
People have been waiting for going to 2years

oluayebenz:
Use latest abode reader to download.

But don't tell me you want to apply for Canada visit visa o

Honestly you make me laugh
It's visit visa ooooooo, if not what do you fill does for.....�������
Don't worry things will start opening up and visit visa will be attached to

Jeff5gold:
I observed your WhatsApp chat with your agent....and I wonder why you are so gentle in chatting with him....this issue is not even a WhatsApp issue. Me that waited for 5 months to get visa approved I know what I passed through during that period.....now imagine a period of 2 years.....I won’t take it likely with the guy at all

The truth is he has no application...the moment you don't have biometric information is as good as not having any details.. nobody will attend to the application....and it will automatically be discarded

Biodunjobi:

Did you apply through VFS
What of your application login details
And check through IRCC website

kife:
Please for how long has your review of eligibility been on?

I don't know... honestly I try to keep myself sane by putting dis application at a corner of my mind

But I always check nairaland to educate myself and know what is happening . or latest news on Immigration and updates

checking my application gives me anxiety. . mental health is important

[quote author=Eilenora post=103054869]Do you receive an email when eligibility starts ?

[/quot


No .... you will just see when you log in that it has started

lightswitch007:
Hi Anndav, May I ask if the Eligibility assessment has started on your application?

Yes it has started
What of urs

[quote author=aramdebla post=103033208]Hi Nairaland, please I need your advice. My spouse is currently studying in Canada, I applied for spousal open work permit since January but the waiting time is frustrating. However, I have a sibling in Canada who is a permanent resident. Do you think the best way to expedite visa processing is to contact my sibling in Canada to fill the statutory declaration form which is for extended family member since she is a PR holder. Although, the work permit application submitted states I will be joining my spouse in Canada. Basically, i have two relatives in Canada. First is my spouse who is classified as immediate family member while the other relative is my sibling (extended family member). My question is that which address in Canada will i specify in the statutory declaration form if am going to eventually fill it, i mean address i will be staying while in Canada. Should it be my spouse's address? Or my sister? Is it reasonable for my sibling to fill the statutory declaration form since she is a PR to make things faster even though i didn't reference her details in the application submitted.

Please I need your advice. Thank you.[/quot


Hunn honestly is frustrating
If u are not emotionally stable u can even be sick
With everything find something to keep busy as for me i engage myself in small farming which I plan to do personally the wait is almost over...as the country is opening up
I don't advise you introduce information that were not previously given to expedite the process and at the long run it might become an issue.

Just hang in dere the strength that took us dis far with see us through...I have been waiting since December.

[quote author=Ruben225571 post=103002828]God. Even if i offend this Canadian people, they should at least forgive me nah, shuu!

Since last year January 15”2020” I did my biometrics, I have been waiting, I no kill person oo, nah visa I apply for ooo, my profile keep saying processing, only processing, for how long nah. I wanted to withdraw my application , they didn’t allow me, Oya denied me let me reapply, they don’t want to.. Abeg oo!! Covid19 it’s won’t be well with you :”

Canada should at least denied some of us in other to reapply rather than waiting for more than a year for a tourist visa nah, shuu!

I am very sad this morning concerning this Canada stuff!

Who else is in the same condition as mine? Have you gotten yours or denied? Or still waiting?

[/qu



It is well o
Just hang in dere things would soon change as the country opens up

Stonehenge83:
I applied for spousal open work permit

Checking dere website....and conditions for travel exception that is one of the reasons....what exactly do this ppl mean

Is your spouse a student or worker?, is he/ she attending in class lectures or online?, maybe some off those factored count

Just be patient everything is gradually going back to normal.

Stonehenge83:
Based on our assessment of your recent enquiry, we cannot process your request as you have not provided sufficient evidence that you meet an exemption criterion and/or that your travel to Canada is non-discretionary, per the travel restrictions implemented to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID‑19) in Canada.



Even though you do not meet an exemption criterion and/or your travel has not been deemed non-discretionary, your application will now be put on hold until after the travel restriction pause has been lifted.



Thank you for your interest in visiting Canada.



Sincerely.


Good afternoon house, this is what I got as response from IRCC today. How do I go about this? Anyone who can help? I will really appreciate.

What kind of visa class did you apply for because dis response is only common with visit visa.

[quote author=muyiroro post=102943433][/quote]Send any documents that can be of help to ur application..but am sure you are good...and just waiting for a senior visa officer remarks .

muyiroro:
I received my GCMS note for Work Permit last week Friday below are my details:

My Timeline: 5th September 2020
Valid Job Offer with Nomination

Eligibility: Recommend Interview
Security:
HIRV:
Criminality: Bio Passed
Org Crime:
Medicals: Passed
Misrep:
Order req:
Info Sharing: Complete
Final :
Counterfoil Req: Y

I remember that I didn’t submit work reference letter cos I submitted my application during lockdown. I only submitted my salary account statement of account, payment stubs and my trade certificate of competency.

Now my reference letter from my employer is with now which I want to raise a webform to submit. I guessed that is why my eligibility was recommended for interview or should I wait until IRCC requested for ADR

Congratulations on advance
It means they are only waiting for a senior officer to give recommendation of approval

Recommend interview is a very good sign of visa approval

obie27:
Thanks what's now the best option to travel to canada...

Study ...and if you have the age on your side .... express entry is also another route

obie27:
Please it's possible to process a work visa to Canada from Nigeria, without getting a job offer... Please i need help because i want to start the process, i will need direction from experienced hands.

It's impossible
Except you are a spouse of someone schooling in Canada or someone on an employee specific work permit

Eilenora:
Hi All,

International student here with 2 kids (they are American so dont need visas)

Used them as home ties alongside hubs but still ended up going with them. Applied for written authorization for them but it didnt come in as at when we were travelling. Took the chance and today we are here. Landed Dec 29 2021.
Applied for Hubs (he submitted in Nig) March 15
Biometrics completed March 19th
Upfront medicals submitted with application
Medicals updated to pass after several emails and webforms May 19
Background check ongoing
Eligibility yet to commence
Applied for written authorization April 21
No update till date

Contemplating sending them an emotional email from here. Has anyoe done that and has a template to share?

I am honestly tired, it has not been easy being with 2 kids and schooling at the same time. Getting a job is more ambitious than reality. The rest, I guess we all in d same shoes so u feel my pain.

It will end in praise

It is well, God will see us all through.

maziude:
This is totally dependent on the VO that would handle your case. While some vo might be generous some have no joy (because you folks presented the opportunity to them).

Find an immigration lawyer or wait for a year before you apply.

In fact once she get to Canada, let her look for an immigration lawyer and narrate to them. They would advice accordingly.

PS: She shouldn’t have said no. There are other things/people she could have used as home ties. In fact , once a married person is applying for study visa, the expectation most of the vo’s have is that their family will join them. I am sure she would have still gotten the visa even if she says you guys are coming with her.

Wao ....that question does not need any lawyer
It just imply they are not accompany her presently
Most ppl who are not applying for the family together has to say no because if you answer yes you are expected to attach all the family members application together.
