quote author=folla post=102684852]Hello good people

Please I have a question that requires an urgent clarification.

My wife newly received a study visa approval, and myself and the children wish to travel to Canada as soon as possible. In fact, we plan to put in the application by next week. She is still in Nigeria and planning to travel in August for the fall intake. I plan to apply for SOWP, while the children will apply for study visas.

Meanwhile, in filling the family information form, she had indicated that no family member would accompany her to Canada. She had stated thus in order to use me and the children as home ties.

Now the question is: if the rest family members now apply to join her in Canada, would IRCC not consider this as amounting to misrepresentation? Could IRCC use the information in her family information form against us?

Do we have people here who had stated similar thing in their family information form, yet still got SOWP for the spouse and study visas for children?

Lekiboboe, Justmellow, Frankrobbn, and people who had gone through the process such as ILoveDLord, Schonebaby, jaybaby2017, please how did you tackle the issue raised below?

Thank you for helping out.[/quote]Yes you can join your wife
What dat question imply is that you are not going together on same trip
But nothing stop you from coming later
All she needs to do is apply for you after she has settled down, and gotten SIN, Home address and study permit proper those are the documents required to apply for you

Just be patient and allow her go alone first and you join later.

I already put in for a visitor’s visa. Used the Covid-19 prioritisation option. Hopefully, they get back in 14 days too... if not, may just apply for SOWP. The wait is scary �

Seniors in the house, is it possible to have both visitors and SOWP visa application in the system at the same time?
No ....ur uci no will link both and I don't think it will be favorable
The only application u can have running together is to be in express entry pool and have normal TRV application running.

My first employer also pull out during COVID-19 lockdown, I also received letter of offer from another employer so MPNP just updated my letter of support and my nomination certificate before I submitted my Work Permit and PR application.

With the ease of restrictions coming up before ending of the month we should hear from soon by Gods grace.

With the look of things now one must be fully vaccinated to be exempted from that $2,000 hotel quarantine oo.

I never collect even the first done , $2,000 no joke in Naira oo
Amen ooooo

I am fully vaccinated Because I work in the sector where I deal with covid 19 sample for research purposes.

I am seriously praying to hear from them.
And God will make us rejoice soon

There was no conflict whatsoever, if there was anything sort of which is normal between couples, was sorted out amicably way before been ghosted happened. I wish so too, if he can communicate and let me know what the problem is I would be very happy rather than keeping mute. I have exhausted all methods to reach out but all to no avail, but he is not the type that keep friends, I am tempted to call his supervisor at work cause I have her number, I just know if that’s is a right move.
My dear, the earliest you act the better...if you know his supervisor reach out to him/ her, it's just in a decent and calm tone to request about him as if u are worried if he is fine ....my husband boss In the office reach out to me times without no , if they cannot reach him expecially weekend there is nothing wrong with that ....as far as you don't that to discuss family issues with her.
Myself and my husband where apart for over 5 years but we were closer using all social media platforms...even with the time difference we have morning devotion together Nigeria time ...we also have serious quarrell as well including extramarital issue and we settle..
One thing I know about men is that they get easily distracted but a quick rejection or acceptance can save the day ....USE All CHANELLE to reach him....let him no you have reach your breaking limit ...if not you will lose everything las las he would have gone too far to come back from wherever he has wondered to

like I have said earlier what exactly do you think they can dohuh When you don't know the real facts. What if they even investigate for you and find out he is not married to the lady, they can't force him to communicate or come back to you. Inform your family make una go meet his family to resolve the matter, the marriage in my opinion is over.
Honestly as Africans that should be the best option

Every other step should be after reconsolidation has failed

But if all she accused him of is true that guy needs to be dealt with according to the law

I have children of marriageable age....I really saddening me and I have had to settle a lot of marital issue
I am always on the side of reconsolidation even in the case of adultatlry or children outside wedlock

In forgiveness honestly and genuine repentance will be the first thing from the man

These style of abandoning the woman without any emotion is becoming very common in the name of ,. Japa . ..as it's commonly said

I went through a lot of psychological trauma as a result thinking what could have happened and I was left ghosted on
Goggle " IRCC how to report fraud and abuse" the website will link you on how to report, needed documents....name, uci no , his address anyone he has ever used is good , his phone no , SIN, and pictures of the wedding and wedding certificate....and all your évidence

Hunnn think over it .. exhaust all avenue to make him retrace his steps and reset him brain tell his family and keep the evidence of all ur attempt to get through to him through them .. because ones u start anything .. it's almost impossible to stop and that will end his bogus dream ...

Where was the wedding done
Were his parents at the wedding

Did your parents agree to the marriage

Because if you can answer all dis question, then ur case is simple

If the wedding was done in the church or mosque...I think the officiating ministers should mediate

If both parents agreed to dis marriage. Then ur parents should contact the in-law officially to discuss constructively

anyone has written a travel exemption letter that was successful approved, please let us know the supporting documents you included and the format of the letter, this is the second disapproval response I am getting, I haven’t seen my husband for more than a year now!!

Treat as urgent!
COPIED! COPIED!! COPIED!!!



Read. This might help you

Post-March COPR holder
Got Authorization Letter from IRCC. Hence posting what I did to obtain it. You can try it if you have any siblings living in Canada
(Please DO NOT send me personal messages, here I am explaining everything I did to obtain the letter)

I am the primary applicant while my wife is dependent. Her sister lives in Canada. Therefore, she is eligible for travel exemption.

Step 1- Filled up the statutory declaration form from https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/documents/pdf/english/kits/forms/imm0006e-2020-10-09.pdf
Send it to her sister living in Canada and asked her to complete rest of the part and after that she NOTARIZED it by an appropriate authority in Canada

Step 2- Her sister sent the notarized declaration form to us. We had to submit it with our application of travel exemption.

Step 3- Her sister also sent her Canadian Passport, Driving License (These will ensure your siblings status in Canada)

Step 4- Prepared a quarantine plan.
Accommodation_I wrote I will book through Airbnb. |
Grocery_I wrote I will get it from Amazon and I have amazon prime
Food_ I wrote I will get food delivery from UBER eats.
Transport from Airport_ I wrote I will use UBER
I also mentioned I would get a private health insurance.

Step 5- Emailed to IRCC.COVID-TravelExemptions-Exemptionsdevoyage-COVID.IRCC
subject- Request for Written Authorization to reunite with extended family member

Included our Name, DOB, Passport, UCI number, Application number.

Reason for travel- We wrote, currently we are living in Australia with no relatives here. It is also risky to go back to my home country (Bangladesh) since the COVID cases are high. It has been mentally challenging for us to stay here now and we need support from family members.

Attachments-
1. Quarantine plan
2. Proof of relationship between my wife and her sister (birth certificate)
3. Statutory declaration form

Had to wait for 18 business days after that they approved travel exemption only for my wife with 6months validity. They send me a separate email on same email address mentioning my request for authorization letter rejected.

After 3 days I have send them another email with a subject 'Request for Authorization to Unite Immediate Family member'
Even though my wife didnt go to Canada yet, I explained we want to travel together and I need an AL for it. On the email I did not attach anything.

Got a reply after 12 days from IRCC. They asked me to provide,
1. My passport no, DOB, UCI, application number.
2. Proof of relationship with my wife .
3. Proof of immigration status of my wife
4. Proof of Travel Authorization of my wife.

I have sent another email with following attachments,
1. Passport no, UCI, DOB, Application number
2. Marriage certificate
3. Scanned copy of her VISA
4. Her Travel authorization letter.

After 9 days, my request of Travel Authorization Letter was approved. The Authorization letter will be valid for 3months.
