Yea travel history count in some cases but there’s no rules stated that you need to travel to other countries before you can apply .

70% of those who are gotten visitor visa between 2020 till 2023 are first time traveler and come see them how they are tripping claiming asylum.

Most of them are here in Canada claiming asylum and government of Canada are so nice with them by giving them feeding allowance minimum of 300 cad, paying their house rent minimum of 350cad dirt and last and giving them dietary of 190 through the help of their case worker.

I am study here in Canada and I can categorically say that most people gotten visa from Nigeria including some study came in and claimed asylum.

Let people do what ever they want and face their music alone

Shalom

Travel history is one of the key factors a VO might use in denying an applicant's visa approval even if the VO couldn't see any other justifiable reason(s), as long as the he/she is unwilling to approve it

Permit me to re- phrase- Take or quote me anywhere, you need a travel history for some certain embassies (US, Canada and Schengen) in order to boost your over all chances of approval. Perhaps, if you have a good profile, and over 80% boils down to convincing the VO you will return back to your home country, YOU MAY BE CONSIDERED

Above all, GRACE MATTERS
Shalom!!!

I have gotten my study visa since August with my own bank statement while my wife submitted her own bank statement for her application along with kids.

I didn’t take out from my own POF

Can I apply visitor visa for them this time around or reapply for SOWP& Study permit for the kids

JMG12:
How much did you show? Did you put yourself into consideration when showing the POF? Will that money also cover for you or you just take out the money from your acct and deposit it in her acct

Yes you can until sepetember

Hello everyone,I'm seeking advice regarding a situation with my husband's admission to a Canadian school last August. We applied for visas, which were granted. However, as a dependent, I have a visitor's visa and was informed that I could flagpole upon arrival before the new law. My husband is set to resume his studies in May this year. I'm wondering if it's still possible to change my visitor's visa to an open work permit upon arrival before September 1st. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks vikkyexman. I really appreciate your insightful, well my wife has sufficient funds in her account with documentary evidence for the source of the funds.

I applied separately and gotten my visa 4 months after before I submitted their application.

Are you saying I need to show proof of funds up to 30Cad? Does it matter to be Canada bank account statement? Or if I have funds in my Nigeria bank account?

I’m thinking I should apply visitor visa for them ?

Vikkyexman:


First thing first, you need to review the funds submitted for your wife. Is it sufficient? What sufficient to you may not sufficient to the VO. Most of the time, if you submitted sufficient funds and you been denied based on insufficient funds is mostly you didn't submit enough evidence as per the source/s of the funds. You need to show how your wife accumulated her savings. If she's a business owner, show previous receipts of job/contract done and the business bank statement with her personal bank statement. If she's an employee of a company, she will need to show employment letter and payslip. Another thing is that of you need to show CAD30k for example, ensure you add minimum of CAD5k in case of exchange rate fluctuations.

As for your kids, that reason is associated with the purpose of their study. I think that has to do with your SOP or not inline with their previous studies. Ensure you explain in such a way that a kindergarten boy will find it quite easy to understand. You may also order their GCMS Notes to see the real reason behind the refusals.

Pls any insight to this refusal letter for my wife SOWP & Study permit for the kids.

Note: I’m still in Nigeria when I submitted SOWP and study permit for them with my wife bank statement that has a sufficient fund to cover their stay in Canada.

Now I’m thinking maybe I should apply for visitor visa for them instead of SOWP and study permit

Please I need your contribution

.

Oh I understand your plight in this write up, but do you know that been a motivational speaker about the whole thing is wrong?

Do you know there’s many people in this same country that are thanking God each day they awake and not for once regretted for their actions?

You can only speak for yourself on something like this bro, because Canada is not a magic world that once you enter you started cashing out

Most of you only believe in your pastor that’s why people who live here don’t come to share their experiences. I am way better in Nigeria than here I have lived here for 3 years and just waiting for few things and moved back home or move to the US and come here once a while. You won’t understand. Yeah everyone situation isn’t the same , you can say nigeria is not safe but people get killed here too, students get shot to death, people die everyday. If you have something serious going for you in Nigeria or you think earning 3000 dollars a month after tax here is better and after expenses you are left with just about 400 dollars, then make your choice. I work as a service technician in a tech company earning 24 cad per hour . I studied here, working full time now, monthly earnings supposed to be 3840 cad , after tax and some deductions like Ei , employment insurance incase of job loss, CPP , and other deductions, I am left with a little above 3100 cad. After expenses only about 400 dollars left . Car insurance here a month goes from between 150 to 300 dollars or even more. Rent $2400 add other bills.


I own houses back home with tenants before I came here , here if I fail to go to work a day I and my family will be kicked out of the apartment. The struggle we go through here isn’t worth it for us. We are not struggling before coming here. It all depends on your situation before leaving Nigeria. I have a thriving business in Nigeria, I thought I would be able to make a lot more money which was why I and my family made the move but was disappointed and sharing this with you is for you to either learn before making your own decisions but most Nigerians will never learn. We haven’t recovered a dime we spent coming here due to huge bills and was already thinking of moving to the US once we get what we are waiting for. It cost is roughly 55 million moving my family here and that was a great mistake we made and only hoping for the best now.

Nothing just that the processing might slow a little bit, they will make a provision for visa stamping.

Since VFS still collecting biometrics and passport request no qualms

Windblown2much:
Who has a reply to this should pls respond

Thanks boss, please can we work this together? I mean If I want to apply right away while I'm still in Nigeria?

Just for them to have their visa before I travel and join me later

bullstriker:
Since you are still in Nigeria, the POF for the family size travelling to Canada applies. But she might get away with a different account; I have seen people do.
I recommend applying with the kids after you arrive in Canada unless you have a convincing reason to travel with them.

Try and use another browser and if it's the same thing use another phone

Hotunbar007:
Good day, anyone trying to book for biometric appointment and experiencing what I’m experiencing should help me out

Thanks for your swift response bullstriker, the main application which is student already gotten his study permit with his own bank account.

Now the wife and the kids ready to apply with the wife bank account ie. (Separate bank account)

Are you saying that if the wife and the kids are ready to apply they should show proof of funds sufficient for themselves and the (student ie PA )? but they are using different bank account.

Note: They are not using POF that PA ie student used for his study visa.

The wife want to use her own bank account for herself and the kids for swop and SP for the kids.

bullstriker:
You can if there is a convincing reason you want to apply for them while in Nigeria.
To meet the proof of funds requirement in this scenario, you must include the tuition fee and living expenses for the family size in the application. In other words, the VO can refuse the application if the available funds are sufficient for the SOWP applicant and kids but insufficient when the student’s tuition fee is factored in.

Shouldn't be any problem nah as you explained here you have a reason you left her behind, I hope if you were ask you can answer with the reason you mentioned here and when your husband gotten his SOWP he can take her along

Is you husband applied immediately you gotten your student visa ?

Because if you go with her you will need someone to babysit her and that's a lot of money there .

YoungMom:
Please I need more inputs from folks that had similar experience in the past.
I’m a mum of 10 months baby, I got my student visa approved and my baby is suppose to accompany me.
I have booked our flight for December.
I have my fears on how to navigate a new country with a baby as a student, so I was advised to leave my baby behind, when I am fully settled I come back to pick her. Hopefully, my husband would have his visa approved and we leave together.
Please, what do u guys think? Will there be any issues at the airport and immigration if I don’t show up with her? Will I need to change my ticket and are there other things am I supposed to do? I am traveling to British Columbia/ Vancouver.
Please experienced people in the house I need your advice.

Student still better you can't say is 50 50

USA is the best for non immigrant the day you enter you can work peacefully, but there's no how you can get paper without married a citizen

oluayebenz:


Good job?

Enter via student visa, get certificate and hope for the best.... Na 50 50.
Securing LMIA job after study is even hard.

I don't understand the media hype about Canada sef.
USA, UK and some European countries dupe pass Canada honestly.

But if we keep talking, we might be tagged as enemy.

For those japping with visit visa,,, all I can say is all the best o 🚶🚶🚶

Hummm do you see how they crack down people that working under table in Uk,

UK is seriously fighting against illegal worker see them how their home office go on the street and stand in the middle of people walking up and down and anyone they see his movement change or make any funny move they go after him and out of 10 people 9 is illegal lol

oluayebenz:


Really.... but in UK, with visit visa,,,, people still do under the table job for survival....

Is it not safe to apply for spouse with kids immediately after PA gotten his study visa ?

I can see an event whereby VO denied spouse for SOWP for this reason that you provide insufficient information to demonstrate that your spouse is a full time student in a qualifying program at a DLI in Canada.

Note: All they submitted all necessary documents related to spouse Studentship such as LOA, 1 yrs tuition, visa stamp, port of entry letter etc

Only that the Spouse Student still in Nigeria


I'm scare to initiate my family application for these reasons thinking maybe when I enter first then I will be having my study permit and school ID etc

Please any idea

Is it not safe to apply for spouse with kids immediately PA gotten his study visa ?

.

Not really, remember you can change house at any point of time.... The address I used for my visitor visa different to my student visa and the both approved.

Ethanuella:


Thanks for your swift response. I was just bothered.

So do you mean that the different addresses used in both applications will not necessarily pose any type of risk? Looking at the fact that both applications are active

In my study permit application that has my real residential address, I included a property valuation report (in my husband’s name), and the report has my real address on it.

Is this same proof of funds your spouse Student used to applied ? Or this 52,000 Cad is in your own bank account ?

jscoder:


Hi claracee ,
I am in the same sit as you. I applied by myself and 3 kids. But my SOWP and SV for my 3 kids were rejected on grounds of insufficient funds. Interestingly, I showed a POF of 52,000 CAD (Fifty two thousand CAD).

Have you been able to reapply and did u succeed yet?.

Please let me know

Do you submitted the bank statement your spouse used to applied for student visa?

Or you submitted your bank statement along with your spouse ie (student)

I noticed something in these two SOWP refusal application,

jscoder:


Hi Terminalia,

You are not alone in this. I applied on september 14 and got refused same day as you (October 24, 2023).
Coincidentally, I was rejected with same reasons as you.

• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as required by
paragraph 200(1)(b) of the IRPR (https://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2002-227/
section-200.html). I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will
leave Canada, based on the following factors:
• I am not satisfied that your spouse has provided sufficient proof of funds to support your
family’s stay in Canada. Additionally, I am not

I don't fully comprehend the rejection reason no. 1.
Are points 1 and 2 related? Does this mean solely a proof of fund issue?

Migrant/Sponsorship better still email IOM to schedule you for preferred date for upfront medical.

dearie:

Please under what category do you fill upfront medical application for SOWP for spouse and Study visit for kids? There is no option for work permit, so someone is advising I choose family migrant/ sponsorship, that the category doesn't really matter? Please can you guys advise??

Nope

ICONEB:
Good afternoon everyone, please is police character certificate needed for SOWP?

Full tuition fees or first semester tuition fees?

You can send them message through webform

Is your husband used the bank statement he used for his own study visa applied for you and the kids? If yes maybe that's why you are asked to provide his tution fees receipt

Qwetutter:
Kindly assist , the wait is killing , i did biometric on 12th of july , and I received a message from ircc to provide more evidence about my application by September ( they requested for full payment of my spouse tuition fees) which have uploaded on 9th of November , ever since then I didn’t receive message from ircc………. What should i do ?

Your refusal is clear they said your spouse proof of funds to support your family's stay in Canada is not sufficient and also not satisfied that you have sufficient funds to support your stay.

The SOWP visa type is fall under mobility program.

Try and work on your proof of funds

Terminalia:
Hello everyone, SOWP & VV for my son was refused. they mentioed that i applied under international mobility program. i dont know what that is cos i applied for SOWP. i didnt add my statement of account and i am still in Nigeria. kindly advise.

Bro please don't relent, you can defer your admission or first enter Canada God will make a way for us.

You are at the point of your success already, and how much is 10,000cad you want the school to refunded back to you in this Nigeria economy?

Favouralltheway p
ost=126574408:
So I got approval for study permit; it has also been stamped on my passport.
Now I don’t want to proceed for the study anymore reason being that the spike in exchange rate has messed me up.

I have paid $10,000 tuition which is non refundable except if your visa is denied.

Please guys, as they’ve already approved my visa, is there a way to email IRCC for them to revoke the visa approval so I can get my tuition deposit back.

The money I have left cannot cover my balance of tuition which is $10,000 not to talk of accommodation and living expenses.

Nice one Canfulfilment abeg which province you dey?

Canfulfilment:

Which province are you going to? How many years is your course? When is your study starting?

While I await your response, I will advise you to come for your studies. You can work to pay for accommodation and feed. And get a tuition payment plan from your school. If you are landing in my province, I can get you a job the day you land.

You can submitting only sponsor bank statement without pay part of your school fees or transfer significant amount to applicant account.

Note: The sponsor need to proof how he/she can be of support to your propose study and the sponsor bank state is trading massively and state how much he/she want to use to support you along with well details Sponsorship letter, letter of affidavit, Sponsorship introduction letter, all sponsor employment related doc and property documents

alphabbey1:

When it comes to sponsorship, the sponsor should show commitment. Pay part of your school fees or part of your living expenses, or transfer significant amount to your account....
Submitting only sponsor bank statement will only make VO believe the sponsor is for demonstration purpose...
You need to provide your bank statment as well

Good question #Stardor
Abi if he didn't remove a penny and no lump sum in his account the dude most earned more than 5m per month lol

Stardor:
Congratulations, pls when you say you didn't remove a penny from your account does that mean you never made deposits and withdrawals within the 4 months period?

Have seen someone that sent withdrawn message to IRCC and re-applied for the same class of visa but the previous application was approved.

IRCC can be funny most time lol

Ajalalomo:


You can go ahead to reapply. The first application will be canceled or withdrawn if you reapply for the same class of visa.

Since you have temporary resident visa that is still under processing, if you apply for a new temporary visa now, the first one will be cancelled because you can’t have 2 same class of applications open at the same time.
