Thanks, i just did that. fingers crossed for another 14 days till we hear from them.

cyris:
Write that letter and send it ASAP. Without the letter, they will do nothing about your application!!. They requested you write the letter to notify them that you are travel restriction exempt.

Hi Guys please help me out on this o:

Eilenora:
Hello Guys,
So my brother just got PPR. His programme was supposed to be in May but he has differed to Sept cos he was worried the visa wdnt come out on time. His passport expires Jan 2022 but his programme ends Aug 2022. I no d visa they will give him will be just until the validity of his passport, but if he is able to get a new passport before he travels, when he gets to POE, will the study permit that they give him be tied to the TRV and its expiration date (Jan) or will it be the new passport so he wouldnt have to worry about a study permit extension?

Hi Guys.
It is sooo refrshing to be back on here. Havent been here since 2018 when I had my last baby. How are things? I can imagine a lot has changedddd. Ok so i wanna ask, back then, the popular hospitals in Richmond Texas was Oakbend and HNWMC. Has this changed? Are Texas hospitals still being flagged for low prices? Do people still have to look for hospitals that are really pricey to avoid accusations of defrauding Americans of their hard earned money in taxes? what is new guys? from recent posts I can see that people are not disclosing their pregnancies anymore but rather going vis the visit route. All this wasnt the case during my time. My sis is 6 months preggy and has a visa interview end of this month so needs as much information as possible. Kindly help a sister out. She will be staying in Richmond Texas
Gratias

Hi guys,
Please I need clarity on something.
So i submitted hubby's application last month. With the new timeline for 52wks i.e. 11 months, vis a vis the validity of a written authorization being 3 months, I am wondering if to send the email to IRCC for one or not? I have read in previous posts that the written authorization helps the SOWP application move faster as sometimes they dont even treat your file until the request comes in. But if that is approved for 3 months and SOWP hasnt come out by then (which most likely it wont have given this 52 weeks timeline), what happens then? The written authorization would then expire? Please advise on what to do. Apply for written authorization now or wait for a few more weeks?
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 18 by Eilenora: 5:08am On Mar 25, 2021
Hi guys,
Please does anyone know if visa chances will be impeeded if someone with a cgpa of 4.4 gets admission into a college as opposed to a univ. Apparently she got rejection for admission into 2 different univs so she decided to apply to a college directly which she got easily. Just worried about her visa chances. Last date for payment of tuition is today so this information is needed urgently before its too late. Many thanks

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?

Hello All,

Please for those who are in Canada with kids on student visa, how did you handle medicals for the kids? did you do any sort of insurance? i dont want to wait until they fall sick before il be slammed with millions for healthcare. There is an option to include them on my own plan at the rate of 870 CAD. Is there a cheaper and equally effective alternative? I have 2 kids and they are both American citizens. Please advise
TravelRe: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Eilenora: 5:24pm On Feb 10, 2021
I arrived Toronto in December with 2 kids who are American. They werent mentioned in my application as I used them as home ties. I am an international student. I applied for authorization 4 them but it ddnt come out as at when we were scheduled to travel. I took d risk and travelled like thatr. We ddnt have any issues both from Nig or Canada.1 month after we are settled with my 1st who is over 5 years enrolled in School. Hope this helps. All the best
P200:
Please is there anyone that landed recently with a child who is an American citizen without writing IRCC and also didn’t mention during application that he or she will be coming with the child? Before now I know you don’t need any authorisation since the child does not need a visa but I don’t know what is obtainable now . I have a study permit approved and want to travel with my 5 years Son who is an American citizen. Any advice please ? Thank you all.

Hello All,

Can I please be guided on what the letters should look like, both from me and also for hubby. Each time I put pen to paper I get stuck. Also, please advise on the exact link and forms as there appears to be many variants of the work permit its a bit confusing. I am a student here with 2 kids. It has been just a month and I am almost going crazy already. Hubby needs to catapult himself here ASAP. Please help a sister out

Hi Guys, pls i need some guidance on SOWP. I am a student in Canada. I want to apply for hubby to join me. Am i the one going to apply with my cic portal or will it be him applying?
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 18 by Eilenora: 1:45am On Dec 31, 2020
I travelled with my kids on Monday the 28th Dec. Kids' written approvals did not come out on time and I did not expect that it will considering we only found our about it a week to our travel dates. We decided to take the risk regardless as it was really expensive to do a date change and the only available dates would have been end of January, long after commencement of lectures. We were able to enter into Canada without any issues. Also no1 asked for the written authorization. Pls note that I am Nigerian, international student, but kids are Americans though reside with me in Nig. We had a bit of delay before the airline carried us from Nigeria though but the focus was more on my status as an international student just coming into Canada not a returning student, not so much about the kids accompanying me without an authorization. A family friend had a different experience a few days before though as the airline refused to carry them without the authorization. So i dont know if its cos of the nationality of the kids or the discretion of the airline. Thought to share the experience for anyone that needs it. All d best fellow mothers

Goodbetterbest:
Hi there. I applied with my kids...still waiting for approval. What is this authorization letter you speak of? How can one get it? Please keep us updated if its not too much to ask. I pray you meet your deadline. Compliments of the Season

As a follow up to my last post, my package got to Lagos from Abuja on Friday evening 4th Dec. It was sent to Nahco office Ikeja. It got to Lekki sorting office over the weekend, and was delivered to me exactly 12noon today.

From missionary journey of my 1st child in the Usa, to my 2nd, and now my study permit. Thankful to everyone... my success journey cant be complete without this thread. #OVERWHELMEDWITHJOY
