Hello Fam,

This is my full gist, hopefully it helps.
Application for SOWP and 2VVs submitted in May, approval was gotten for all by August. This didn't just come, there were mails and webforms sent sometimes in July, but note, they were more of seeking empathy for a quick decision as the family needs the reunification so much. All mails were and webform had the subject URGENT.

POE Experience
The officer requested for children's birth certificate, marriage certificate, spouse study permit (that was in the phone) and all the passports. That was it.

I would strongly advise everyone at POE remain calm, have confidence and put a smile on when it's your turn if you are not too drained.

Thank you all.

Please could you furnish us with your submission date and anyother details, just to have as a guide on processing time.

Or did the new 30-day processing time applies to you...

Thanks and Congratulations.

Yes, it is important for a baby under 5 years of age to have appropriate medical preparations before traveling to Canada. While the specific requirements may vary depending on the country of origin, and for us Nigeria, it is required.

N/B:

Documentation: Carry all relevant medical documentation, including vaccination records, medical reports, and contact information for your baby's healthcare provider. These documents may be required by healthcare professionals/schools in Canada.


Good luck!

Hello,
Send a webform stating your complaint and your application details to this:

https://secure.cic.gc.ca/ClientContact/en/Application

Try it for 3 days consecutively. It should work.


Goldentony2nice:
I’ve not received the biometrics collection letter. I’ve been checking regularly. I’m worried as well. Please, anyone in the same situation that has finally received the notification should let us know.

Please guys!
I am not a Guru on these matters.

But I know you can send a webform of your medicals even after you have submitted your Application.

Having said that, you could state in your webform the summary of these documents for easier understanding for the officer, I think you can attach together.

Though, even if you didn't send as a webform, when the need arises, they would send a Medical Request.

I submitted same day as yours.

I am not sure about this you said:
"Since our application was submitted as one na only 1 UCI dem give us", I thought each individual has their unique UCI, please Gurus should shed more light on this.

Dear House,
Please for complaints of UCI not been updated, which processing office email would be most appropriate to send a mail to?
TravelRe: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by FocusLasers: 9:03pm On May 30, 2023
Please send through a webform again. While you go ahead with your Daughter's medicals.

Hello House, I just received medical request letter for my wife and 9months old daughter. My wife has already done upfront medical and I uploaded it in the application wondering if they did not see it. This is a second application. What should I do?
TravelRe: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by FocusLasers: 9:00pm On May 30, 2023
I suggest you contact VFS through their channels. They would give the latest info.

Knonso:
Good evening Nairalanders

I submitted my passport with that of my 2 kids to Vfs after ppr receipt.

I got notification that one of the passports have been stamped and even sent to courier but others are still reading "under process in Canada Visa office" when I track them.

Should I be worried?

Please how many days did it take for your UCI from your previous VV to be updated on your SOWP application portal? Was it immediately after you submitted your SOWP or after some days?

Thanks to everyone here and I pray for goodnews to the rest of us here .

My daughter medical is still showing progress on tracker . Do you advise I send ircc another webform ?

Emmafe:
The MP I contacted over a month ago just reached out this evening. I guess the reason for the delay in ppr is because Lagos office is the one issuing it. On the tracker it shows “Nigeria” as the issuing country.
.

Thanks for sharing, your info-sharing character is well appreciated. You just gave another key info.

Please House, is there any 2023 applicant that has gotten updates such as start of eligibility, BVL or even PPR?
