Hi everyone, please I just submitted my family visa application. While filling the form I did not see the column for family information form like I saw in a YouTube video. I heard the family information form is compulsory but I didn't see it among all required IMM documents displayed that I am to fill and upload. I submitted my application without it because there was no designated section to upload it in my application. Please, is this a problem for my family visa application? What can I do about it. Should send via web form

You can create GCkey to apply for them, minors do not provide biometric, but you have to pay application fee for them, whether the application is submitted from inside or outside Canada, it will still be subjected to the same scrutiny. By the time you answer the eligibility questions you will get all the necessary forms to fill.[/quote]

Hello everyone, I am a student in Canada. please is there exception for study permit application fee or biometrics for a minor of 4years, I will be submitting her application along with my husband's SWOP. I have IRCC account can I create a GCKEY account with my information and use the same account to apply for my family. I will also be submitting the application on their behalf from inside Canada, is that a good idea or I should allow my husband do that from outside. Lastly please, will need to fill a representative form for my child or my husband should do that?

That company needs to be ban, don't waste your time going to work their if you have options. The company is so terrible with staff, don't regret wasting your time. A company that will employ you as a quality assurance, showing you Labs and the rest, once you start, they will ask you to go process cassava into garri. If you have any idea, they take it from you and lay you off. Your salary is paid late, you can be sacked close to receiving your salary.

It still has to be Aquada Development Corporation.
This company is owned by one very arrogant man Emeka Nwankwo. They call him Doc. This man is so arrogant that if you call another person Doc in his presence, it is enough grounds to sack you. He is a manipulative man. If you refer to yourself as an engineer, he will make fun of you.
The man is an only son and has only one sibling. He lives in North America but had nothing to. Show for it. He has been running the company without success since 2006! Yet his arrogance won't let him change his methods since it is obviously not working.

The only reason you should take a job offer from him is if you want to visit Umuahia. He lacks the mental capacity to stay focused so he fires daily. I worked for 3months and in that short time alone, he fired 7 person.

Horrible narcissist!

He sits in his house daily, (he doesn't have a job abroad) doing interviews for new staff using pseudo names of abroad people. Nobody, absolutely nobody can work with that man and leave happily. He is a bad person pretending to be good

My husband's sowp was denied in April alongside my children's study. I just finished my program and I have applied for study permit extension to start another program in January (using Gckey) but no reply yet.
How do I start d process of the vv for my husband and study visa for my children? Can someone here put me through?
Do I apply under my Gckey or I should open their own?
Is there a faster link apart from Gckey?
Our previous applications were done my an immigration consultant but now I want to do everything myself

Make sure to state that your offer covers the tuition, insurance and living expenses. As regards to this offer, you are allowed to start study on a waived tuition fee. I wish you could get a tuition fee wavier letter from your school.
techgen:
Thank you for your suggestions!
I will just ensure I put my best foot forward, i have my GCMS note now... although,My supervisor was even surprise by the VO assertion.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by Duchess102: 8:16pm On Sep 16, 2024
You are failing to address the major concerns of the VO.
Your tuition fee was called a research income..., do you know what that means, in your offer letter, what was the fund for??
Is either your SOP is not detailed enough or it is confusing the VO.
I suggest you work on your SOP, make it more understandable.

VO think the fund is a reward for your research input, and so you should pay your tuition fees before you commence your research in the said institute. I am sure this assumption does not correspond with your scholarship package, because I had same offer.
This is your third application, try and cover all loops.
Good luck.

techgen:
Thank you for your response ma bro.

The breakdown by Ircc was what is in my scholarship letter when my offer was increased from 22kCAD to 29k+CAD

I have emailed my professor and this is his advice:

I do not want to complicate the matter by giving a wrong advice here, but for the section below, maybe a note that states the tuition may be paid after arrival should suffice. Another note from SFU or government of Canada that shows the expected living expenses is probably helpful as well. Note that at SFU domestic and international graduate students have the same tuition fee (its value can be mentioned).

Note as I stated in my previous query here: Tuition is 8k+, I even found out that university residence is about 8k+.

Technically, I feel the the scholarship offer should cover the tuition fee and living expenses.

My fault during my application:
I didn't submit any bank statements.
And I also didn't submit the 250$ acceptance deposit I paid, I only stated I paid it.

My concerns
The VO is expected to know that my tuition fee is supposed to come from my financial aid. Because I mention my professor as my sponsor.

If he/she grants me visa, I will sort out my fares.

Why he/she is been concerned about my business statements, when I provided every other documents.

Well, I will submit another application again... Even though class has started and see how it goes.

Thank you @ Muslimity you have also been helpful with your inputs.
Muslimity:
Congratulations to you my brother @Duchess102.

I am very happy for you and this great blessing God has showered on you. You are such a kind hearted fellow and very sincere contributor/adviser on this platform.

Your sincere mindset got my attention when you were freely offering a candid advice to help me wriggle out the challenge of IRCC request of additional documents, and you mentioned at the bottom of your advice something that came across as a humble caveat that "you are also a study permit applicant". This your humility and sincerity was so much cherished by me, even more than the valuable advice you gave me. I said this because it made me to shop around for more insightful perspectives, and at the end of the day I was able to satisfactorily respond to IRCC and got my application approved.

So today I am very happy to hear that your own application was also approved.
Congratulations and I wish you more wins.

I read in this forum that you will need to include the biometrics slip in your transmission package, if you are using the vfs center used for biometrics. Otherwise you will pay for transmission package.

Please which one is biometrics slip, I don't remember collecting any slip after my biometrics except the documents I went with, which include appointment letter, biometrics letter from IRCC and my passport.

I’m currently completing my study permit application.
I have extensive travel history from childhood. I included all my passport data pages and visa pages. Do I have to include scans of all my PoE stamps gotten while traveling?

Any advise helps. Especially from any who has gotten PPR
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 23 by Duchess102: 6:32pm On Sep 02, 2024
How much did you pay. I thought the $85 should cover the transmission according to what I read online, I saw this in VFS website, 👉👉
> If no package is transmitted at the time of biometric enrolment (when the application has been submitted online), the initial package transmission is included in the fee of CAD $85 for biometric enrolment and package transmission.

If you need to provide your biometrics, the biometric fee of C$ 85.00 (per person) / C$ 170.00 (for a family of 2 or more) / C$ 255.00 (for a group of performing artists of 3 or more) covers the Visa Application Centre service charge for package transmission, with the exception
Muslimity:
Thanks for the clarity.
Yes, I paid for VFS for the passport transmission to IRCC and I equally paid for VFS to courier the passport to my house after stamping. I included these payment receipts in the package I asked DHL to handover to VFS. So, as rightly advised, I will wait for VFS to send me an acknowledgement or a confirmation that my passport has been received by them and the next actions to be taken. I was worry because I expected VFS to acknowledge my payment for the passport transmission immediately I made the payment last Thursday.
Thanks again for your support.

Use a subtitle, for previous denial and the new changes, make it catchy by highlighting them.
TravelRe: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Duchess102: 10:26pm On Sep 01, 2024
Resubmitting the application means you have fix the highlighted problem which is insufficient fund, without making a significant change there is no need applying again.
It will be nice if you can pay your remaining school fees without affecting much or non of the fund you have currently, add the children scholarship letters or prove, in your SOP state the reason why your three children were awarded these scholarships and how it has reduced your financial burden. You should also state the full time job awaiting your graduation with evidence.

Be aware of home ties, though it was not mentioned in your rejection letter, because you are eligible for SOWP, but it might be the reason since you are relocating four family members. Strengthen your home ties.

In your SOP state reason for previous sowp visa denial and the new changes.

kobobay:
My children got a scholarship to attend a Christian school in my province. The ages 5, 7, 9. They are all of school ages.

My school fees are not paid yet, but I'm considering paying the school fees. And at the same time, I had a full-time job until the new law of 24 hours. But the job is still guarantee once I'm done with school. I will still continue to do the work under the 24 hours rules.

With information, what would you suggest that I do? I have traveled to Nigeria two times in a year to see my family. It's really hard for me leaving my family. We didn't apply together as family because their passports refused to come out at the right time.
TravelRe: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Duchess102: 4:02pm On Sep 01, 2024
I think now is the best time to apply if you have sufficient fund, because bringing spouse with pgwp requires you securing a job in Canada for your spouse to qualify for SOWP. However your fund should be enough if you have paid your complete school fees and two of your children are eligible for VV.
If the three children are applying for study permits, and your school fee is yet to be paid, then the VO is right.That money can't be enough.
You should consider increasing the fund or maybe bringing your wife and a child first, later the other two children can join.
kobobay:
1. I have $17k for Canada account and #25m in the Nigerian account. One wife and three kids.

2. The money is in my account.

3. My wife does not work outside because we run small family blended farm.

4. My course is two years, and I have done a year already.

Any suggestions on what to do better. I will be graduating next year April.

Friday is too close to start worrying and is a half day, Monday might be too busy for them, however you should receive a email from them confirming the received of your passport.
Did you pay VFS for transmission?
Muslimity:
@Duchess102: Please do you have an idea about how I can get to confirm that VFS has indeed received my passport submission? I did not book any appointment nor physically visit VFS office but rather I submitted my passport at DHL office and was given a tracking number. I tracked my passport on DHL platform, and it says the passport has been delivered to VFS Lagos on Friday by 9am. However, I have not received any notification from VFS that they have received my passport from DHL. Please, kindly advise how to confirm that truly VFS has received and will transmit it to IRCC for stamping.
