Hello everybody
I’m a student currently in Canada and my program ends in August. I’m getting married this year. What are the chances of my spouse getting SOWP approval during my one year post graduate work permit?
Is it better to apply for SOWP during my study period?
Yes. It's better to enable him plan for this long time visa processig time by adding the remaining time with study and PGWP since the processing time presently is 52 weeks although things will improve soon Sha , because dis crazy long processing time cannot continue

U pay biometric fee with your application. After that u visit VFS office in abuja or Lagos for ur biometric it's free

Biometric is just to get ur fingerprint data so they can investigate you and properly identify you

It has to be sent by courier since in person service at VFS is on hold due to covid

Giving anyone visa is at the discretion of the visa officer..just apply and submit all relevant documents with prayers and wait

Yes letter of authorization is valid for three months I guess but it will definitely be started the validity of the authorization will be started on the letter

Nobody will allow any visit in Canada presently untill border restrictions have been lifted









uote author=emeldamicheals post=100071026]Hello everyone, my parents applied for TRV last year September. My PR sister applied for authorization for them. it has been approved. My dad's passport has been requested. Waiting for mum's request of passport.
Now my questions are:
Firstly, do they necessarily need to bring their passports to Abuja themselves since they applied in Abuja or can they DHL it to VFS or something.
Secondly, is it possible not to approve my mum's own. They applied together and she is even the most important person that needs to visit self for child visit (Omugwo)
Thirdly, is there a time frame to travel since there is a letter of authorisation on sympathy grounds.
Fourthly, can anyone help me with VFS Canada Abuja Phone no. They ain't picking the one i have .
Lastly, Can I and my kids apply to go visit my sisters 1st child. My nephew and their cousins. Is it a valid reason now and can she also apply letter of authorisation for us. For family reunion or sth.
Thanks and sorry for the long post.[/quote]

Thank you very much @Anndav . It has changed to passed. Sometimes "Relax, It is well" might be all we need to calm our nerves.
Congratulations....you don't need to worry about what God has settled. If your BP was an issue you would have known from the clinic where you did ur test...the clinic don't want you to fail, l had a friend that was ask to go for treatment on some health issue and come back after a week because her test that day was not good...and she later had a better results.

No I didn't sign any representative form. The agent definitely acted on my behalf do you know what I even find funny the most, its the fact that his telling me that he wants to try Cyprus so that I can go before April and I don't like Cyprus, I told him No so he's saying that he's done with my application that he would refund all my money that I should go and find another agent. After messing up my Application, he's now telling me this.... I'm so pissed rn
Sorry, don't try Cyprus..is actually visa free for student and it's not really a good place there is no prospect dere, before trying anywhere else try to settle dis and clear ur name first

If you have filled the use of representative form it might have been easy to explain it was an error from ur representative and he will be the one facing fire from the error

So the only option is an immigration lawyer or consultant to look at ur case after you have put all your cards in the table

That agent actually messed things up for you , but there is no condition , no matter how bad that God can't take care of

author=two4 post=99211914]Please if 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![/quote]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.
