From IRCC website, if you qualify as fully vaccinated then you won’t need any authorization if you are uniting with family member in Canada.

Hi,

I think you should try the visitor visa under the new portal.

The same person who claimed they entered recently on visit visa without written authorization also had a pending SOWP. It was taking too long so they applied for visitor visa and got approved in 10 days. But they didn't withdraw their SOWP application.

Best of luck

Thanks, @Akannitommy

Actually visit visa has a higher degree of approval than SOWP. I had SOWP since August and no nothing up till now. However, I applied for visiting visa and before we open eyes it was approved.

With regards visiting visa, if you don’t intend to stay more than 6 months you don’t need a medical.

Hope this help.

Hello All,

Firstly, congratulations to all who have received their PPR and are going to be reunited with their families. Our time will come soon in Jesus name. Amen.

Please how do we get the written Travel Authorization Exemption?

Thanks.

1. By the law, your quarantine place is ANYWHERE you first touched down when entering Canada; so in this case, you must first quarantine in Toronto before proceeding on your journey. They monitor your movements well.

2. Yes, your wife should do everything over there in the US; almost free and she may not likely require the medical stuff. I was exempted then.

3. Your baby can easily shuttle between US and Canada just with her US passport alone, she no get problem at all! All those ones na chair already. Lol

@soFaithly, thank you. How do you mean that almost free and that she may be exempt from medical.

Thanks

Good morning all,

First of all, let me say thank you to everyone providing useful tips on this thread. I have 3 questions.

1. I just got my study visa approved and should be traveling by mid September. My final destination is Saint John via Toronto. I’m not vaccinated yet, will my quarantine plan be in Toronto or Saint John?

2. Am about to apply for my wife who is currently in the US for SOWP, due to the processing time in Nigeria, can she apply from there and get her biometrics and medical done there? Has anyone done this before?

2. My daughter is 1year plus 3 months and she is an American citizen. I understand that there is no need to apply for her since she can travel as a visitor with her passport. Is this correct?

Thank you in advance.

Okay, here is my gist.. long post alert


Fanshawe college, please if you are going to fanshawe college for September. Make we hola together. Form acquaintance.

I started Canada journey since 2019 through an agent. If I could remember well, June 29 2019, that was the time my first application was submitted. I submitted the necessary documents for him to arrange and make it a perfection. Hold and behold, my application hasn’t been finalized till March 2020, so I asked him for my login. He refused. Me wey be Lagos boy, I went into the barracks carry 3 soldiers, before then I was so calm with him, I asked for us to see, mumu no sabi say I b Werey. Around that March, we met, and I arrested him with soldiers. Before 1 min, my login don drop. I went to a cafe to check what was going on. As I login. I noticed there was a chargeback and ircc requested for an explanation but the agent didn’t reply, either he didn’t pay the money since September 2019 when the email came.

On that same day I got hold of him, I paid him 390k I collect 290k dat same day. Cuz he didn’t do anything.

When I got home, I went to pay the chargeback fee, then September 2020, my application was denied.

During that period of me waiting for my decision, that’s when I saw this wonderful family, I read through from beginning of this Canadian topic as if my life was on it, Na only this morning I didn’t read 6 more pages, I skipped to type PPR WAS HERE.

So after reading through, I saw how easy Canadian application was, so I reapplied November 2020, by January 2021, I was refused. I made some mistake though, I didn’t add enough proof, like my company Cac, my sponsor and I pictures a lot of stuff sha.

Then this 3rd time, I said to myself. I go add everything. Make I see how dem wan take refuse me.
My gcms note came in, and I say it was cuz I didn’t proof well.

Now I applied feb 14, I waited for this day telling God, it’s a love date. Please show me love. That was my praying on that day, cuz I believe 14 would be my day. And it was.

Applied on feb 14,
I submitted everything. Nse request letter, and ielts with band of 8.0.

Then the wait started,
On April 24th 2021, I got a procedural fairness. Omo I almost died, if my enemy had heart attack issue, omo d heart attack to happen dat day. Seeing 5 years ban, all because of chargeback and I didn’t tell them I was refused for us visa.

After some hours
Since I was d one who submitted my application, I was so sure I did tell them I was refused for us visa, I went to check my application on my laptop, I saw that I actually told them on the form I was refused with enough typing in that form box, that’s when I said to myself, Na mistake procedural fairness dem send me.
So I contact my lawyer, explained there was no chargeback on my application. Note I didn’t talk about the first application, because I feel like, application wey dem don denied after I paid the charge back, I did another application dem deny am, so why would it be they are asking for the first chargeback in a 3rd application.

That’s why I told my lawyer to type, there isn’t a chargeback back in this present application with application number, so I send receipt of my payment cuz I told them I paid the money myself and also gave them proof of my us refusal in my form, with my us refusal form us gave me that day.

So I submitted the document on April 25th
And pray to God, in anything don’t give me a ban. I can still manage a refusal
A ban would kill me, because that period I was really low on cash, and I knew I won’t have the money to get a lawyer to have the case, God saw mostly all my money was invested in my offline business to grow and all.

Then d wait started, I went to do upfront medical so as not to delay if they go and ask me for medical request and I saw that hospital might be crowded if I don’t get to do my medical fast, I did my medical and it was updated by may, can’t remember the day.

Then the wait started again,
All those period, I see PPR and people praying for PPR, and I do pray for people waiting for PPR, God should grant them their wish as I read through, and when I see PPR just drop, I use that to pray for mine.

Make I cut story short. PPR drop this morning.

And I would like to thank 2 Nairaland guys who helped me out in my sop. I am really grateful. Their names are otunbatee, and olasubomy
Thank you God bless.
Wishing everyone the prayers they all need


Congratulations brother. I feel we should naming and shaming the agents so others will not fall victim of them.

Good day guys.


PPR received and yet to send passport for stamping.

So I am thinking of sending the Passport through Courier service instead travelling to Lagos to submit physically.

Please help with the process involved in that. Thank you.

Send through courier. I sent mine to Abuja through DHL on Tuesday last week and I got it this morning.

Long Post Alert!!!

I like to thank God and my family who made this possible.

The wait was mentally draining even though it was just barely 48 days for PPR to land.

I never really had the desire to travel out of Nigeria because I was comfortable. However, last year the desire grew due to certain reasons. So here are my details:

NSE Route:

Application submitted May 22nd, 2021 (After the May 15th deadline).
Biometrics Request May 23rd, 2021.
Medical Updated to Pass May 25th, 2021 (Advance Medical).
Biometric Completed June 1st, 2021.
Eligibility Review June 8th, 2021.
BVL July 8th, 2021.
PPR July 8th, 2021.

Fall session
University of New Brunswick
MBA Saint John.

Applicant Documents Submitted:

IMM294E
IMM5257B
IMM5654E

A 50-page SOP with embedded attachments. The key here is, be truthful and write a compelling and engaging story. I explained every detail of me that could raise query since there maybe no chance of interview. I wrote the SOP myself after watching series of videos on YouTube. Before submitting, I discovered Nairaland and I got valuable information too. I couldn’t proofread on Grammarly due to urgency of time. Please this is not an excuse. After submitting the application, I noticed a few unpardonable typos and error of conversion. I said fixed deposit of CAD30k (N5.1m) was liquidated into my wife’s First Bank which was not correct. It was supposed to be CAD17k. This really scared me.

Daughter’s Birth Certificate and International Passport (American Citizen).

Wife International Passport with valid USA Visa and travel history to USA, Rwanda and Ghana. Although I was denied American Visa in 2019 which I declared and explained the reasons. I almost forgot this part as initial said no when I filled the form that I have not been denied.

Birth Certificate,
Marriage Certificate. (Ikoyi Registry),
NIN Slips (Wife, daughter and I),
BSc Certificate,
Transcript,
ICAN Certificate,
NYSC Certificate,
IELTS General due to expire in August (LRSW – 6.5,6.5,6,7.5),
International Passport with Netherland visa stamp,
Police Character Certificate,
Family Picture (My wife, Daughter and I),
Family Picture (Mother and one of my brothers),
Family Picture (Myself, and my two brothers)
Picture with Colleagues during training at Netherland
Resume Nigeria format (if there is anything like that),
Introduction letter from employer, offer letter, confirmation letter, promotion letter and increment in salary correspondence,
CAD1K Tuition deposit (Non-refundable),
Mybankstatement with N12.7m balance and after applying we spent like N600k out of the money. Lol.
Pension Statement with N8.2m balance,
Three-month pay slips,
Landed Property (Survey Plan),
Evidence of car comprehensive Insurance with AXA Mansard.

Wife (Co – Sponsor) Documents
Affidavit letter of support without notarization. Just signed by my wife,
Mybankstatement with N6m balance,
ACCA Certificate,
University of London MSc Transcript (I included this and ACCA intentionally because they are foreign credentials and they could easily relate with them),
Employment and confirmation letter,
Fixed deposit proof of investment – Although this was liquidated in 2020 into First bank which I explained in the SOP.

Some documents were not submitted due to size and oversight. After submission, I was agitated and wanted to submit more but my wife prevailed that there was no need. Just trust God.

I was getting tired of waiting and I had three offer letters from UK for September session. Although, I was not really feeling UK as the path to PR there was longer considering that I am 37 an was looking for a shorter path to PR which I believe Canada is.

I wish everyone waiting for this type of good news well. It will end in praise as it was for me.

Thank you.

Hi All,

Please i have a question, i applied for Canadian study permit (NSE route) on the 22nd May and eligibility review started June 8. I got admission into UNB and i paid a non refundable fee of CAD1k which was what i used to support my application. I have not paid any amount from the tuition fee of CAD35k.

Will this have any effect of the study permit approval?

Thanks
