Put yourself in the Visa officer's shoes what would you think seeing an application with spouse only leaving 2 kids.
I remember one time someone on this platform applied without her child and didn't properly state how the child will be catered for cant remember much but somewhere in her note the VO called her "self serving"

Saying this to say these VOs will not understand this action even if you do.
If you have time and resources to test waters and take risks then apply with the whole family if it fails then you apply alone again

kykyEmma:
Thanks
I am married with 2 kids, I intend applying along with my spouse while leaving our kids behind as home tie. can this fly. note my brother who is a permanent resident in Canada will be my co sponsor

Good morning everyone, please I need some info.

1. If I defer my admission and I get an approval afterwards what would be the process to get another trv issued for 2022 or the one given will be valid till then?

2. For those who paid fees and the fees had to be refunded, after the normal deduction of the confirmation fee did you get the exact sum or there where some deductions due to exchange rate?

Thanks for in advance

PS: May 16th applicant, no NSE, upfront medical done since June, only background check is on. Have only a few days to register but can get full refund before September 17. (Weighing my options)

Thank you so much for your response. Appreciate!

Hi,

You don't need to show any proof of accommodation. The major thing that needs to be seen is the availability of funds.

You can upload your accommodation agreement with your school, more often than not, it doesn't show if it's a shared accommodation or not.

The bottom-line is showing the funds are avaliable.

Good day everyone, please i have two questions when applying for spousal open work permit:

1. Does the student need to show any proof of accommodation? Or just having the proof funds is sufficient.

1. If the student needs to show proof of accommodation, is it okay to present one even if it's a shared apartment?

Thanks in advance for your response

"Application under active review" is that not a generic message to get someone off their backs? Background check since forever no eligibility yet(hoping it's going on behind the scenes)!
Please I hope sending too many messages has no implications cos I want to keep sending emails don't want my application overlooked.
May 16th applicant. Normal route no NSE request. Upfront medicals done and updated to passed June 15th.

So so sorry dear. All will be well for sure!

LoadedHollow:
Omg I’m typing this with tears in my eyes. I applied for study permit since November 16 2020 but after emailing for the past 2 weeks and messaging an MP yesterday, the application is out. I’ve been rejected for personal asset and financial status. The thing is that the account used had millions of naira but rejected still. It’s been years since the last time I shed a tear but today, I shed them like a little baby. I don’t know what to do right now

I don't even know you, yet am just overly excited for you!!! So happy you gave it another shot and got the outcome you desired. Wishing you the very best all the way! Congratulations!!!

Spectro:
Yeah, I'm great. Just got PPR.

It's a nice feeling.

I still can't even understand the preference! Cos if you are looking at Nigerian documents with extra glasses then Indian own should be with microscope, vernaculars, telescopes and every gadget you can find to see well! hian! *eyes rolling*

Ilovemom:
Na only India people dey enjoy ircc service

Good evening everyone. Please for those that have successfully applied for gcms notes via cbsa. Did you need to print out the authorization form, sign and then scan to upload?

Thanks in advance for your response.

@Frankrobbn1,@Lianna2020 please need your advice. I posted couple of question about 13th years old student going for high school. Is the process same as undergraduate and post graduate.

I just check with a bank if its possible to pay school via bank and they said no.

What should we do. Can we do NSE without ielts for the student.

You are not getting response to this your case cos it doesn't seem common on this thread you will just have to wait for someone who has applied for visa for high school.
Is this application with a parent or just the child?
Hopefully you will get the answers you need.

Oh I see! This answers my question. Thanks

ILoveDLord:
It was approved in two months, after I submitted her application.

I applied for open work permit for my spouse and visitor visa for my child.
My family stated lived with me here in Canada while I was studying


I am already done with my studies for a long time now. I got my 3 year post graduation work permit and my wife also got another open work permit for 3yrs.
We both have job offers. It only took about 3months after my studies before I got a professional job.

So we are already living in Canada. We have provincial nomination for Permanent residency and we looking forward to Citizenship in the nearest future.


Hope this helps.

I wish you guys all the best! You can always ask me your questions.

Canada is definitely worth it.

Let me justI drop my pen peacefully ✍ ... for now while

enjoying the beautiful view of summer from my office... �

Praying for everyone, it will surely end in praise!

Thanks for this info. Please how long did it take to get their visas approved? Was it SOWP and study visa for the kids?

ILoveDLord:
Good day,

When I applied for my spouse, I applied after I received my stamped passport back from IRCC . And I applied by creating a new profile for my spouse in my spouse's name with all her details. Then I applied for my child(ren) through my spouse's account.

I wrote the statement of purpose in the form of a letter of sponsorship and authorization for my spouse to apply to come to Canada. Giving reasons why she needs to come and join in Canada while I was studying.

Then I attached proof of funds, her credentials, other relevant documents, etc.

I was the one doing the application, but the profile was hers, there was no direct connection between my profile and her profile.
I did all if these before I left Nigeria, once my study visa was approved

While it was still being processed, when I arrived Canada, I quickly attached to her profile my study permit, student enrollment letter, student ID, tuition fee payments, social insurance number document, and all other relevant documents I received in Canada, by submitting a web form.


Hope this helps.

Wish you the best.

PS: I am really enjoying living in Canada, after I completed my MSC. Citizenship is the goal now.

You have done well! It's transferred aggression its not easy to be waiting for a decision. *hand on my face*

This place has to be turned up tomorrow with ppr!!! So quiet today

makano:
The bolded wasn't necessary at all... Seeing that you are a newbie on this thread and also knowing that you still have a lot to learn, I will forgive you.. Nobody is an island of knowledge, even if you think someone is wrong, correct the person politely.. This advise you criticized is the same advise I have been giving newbies like you since 2017.. Read and understand my post you criticized and called me a FOOL for and you will realize your mistake... PEACE

Bros rest your case! Your need to be right (which may or may not be) is taking up space ejor, tired of the back and forth. I want to see timelines and PPR by Monday please.
You all have tried thanks for all the info. We appreciate *hand claps" lol

LJF11:
Ok the problem is that this information is not from any ircc website ,it's from North Eastern university website, arrival guidelines should be gotten from them not from a third party , that's where the problem is, according to ircc travel website passengers can only be denied boarding mainly due to covid19 related reasons, on matters on eligibility, it can only decided by a border officers upon arrival, I understand people have been stopped from boarding but ircc can't put a policy online and enforce a different one offline , thanks for the information though, we would keep monitoring the situation

Congratulations Liannna one of my nairaland favourites lol
All the best in everything!

Lianna2020:
Soft landing gist
I booked Ethiopian airline for 1:40pm.
I said my final goodbyes and moved to the airport. I got there by 9:30 thinking I’m late because of the story I read here as per queue but there wasn’t any.
They didn’t allow my husband to enter and I had to tip them 500.
We proceeded to where they were suppose to check my bag but the woman asked for money n we moved to declare agricultural product, I had just one bag and I paid 2,000.


Next was to get my boarding pass. My bag was 43kg and so didn’t need to pay but paid 1000 to wrap my Ghana must go that had my foodstuffs.

I was asked for my passport , enrollment letter , arrive can , hotel for quarantine and COVID-19test result.(everything was printed out so was easy to find).

Everything was so smooth until the man said my covid 19 go soon expire by the time I reach .
Na that time I wan cry , pe village people u must show yourself o.
I waited for 30 minutes plus, the sneakers self pain me join , I come Dey frown face, the old man slow join, come Dey read bible abi wetin to show my covid go expire. I sha pretended and maintained my calm.

After series of back and forth, I was allowed to move to where we have the computer so I can scan my pp.

Then I was issued my yellow card where I have to fill my form and my boarding pass . That’s how one man said let me help you fill your form , olodo me allowed him, when he wrote my first name then nairaland tip hit pe, this man wants money like this o. I told him, don’t worry o, I go fill am, I filled it myself and when I was about to return his biro, he said find joy for your brother now, chai I said to myself , upon say I don read landing gist here back to back , I still looseguard. I sha gave him 500 naira.



I moved to eat and told my hubby to take all naira as e don finish , pe no more tipping then moved to final e boarding gate where we have the immigration officers.
First officer checked and asked for tip.by that time no more naira as I wouldn’t have thought , uniform people go want tip .I gave him 1 dollar and he said just one ? I said sorry o.
I was now directed to the second person where he checked and asked my my Canadian address and Nigerian address, I gave my Airbnb addrsss and number and did my fingerprint and he asked for tip too before stamping my pp. I gave him 1 dollar n apologized that I didn’t think I’d need to pay in here hmmm.
Then final final checks again, by that time I don tire , they checked my handbag and saw dried meat wey I wan Dey munch small small, the woman said I don see exhibit , settle your girl, for my mind, u no see shishi but I go sha giv u because na Poe Dey my mind like this.

Luckily I saw 1,000, I gave her and was seated for my flight .
We boarded 13:00and moved around 2:00 against 1:40.

I thought WiFi was free but na only WhatsApp he work for so had to buy WiFi so I can watch my Korean film but WiFi was limited too so ended up watching nothing but was thankful I could chat, maybe it was the WiFi package I took. Their food was terrible sha but I had to eat , dried beef came to my rescue.

We landed Addis Ababa 20:49pm , thank God I had someone directing me as I no sabi where to where .
After all checks ,I was asked for my pp, covid 19 test result, and booked hotel and I was allowed in .

We left for Dublin from Addis around 11:pm and it was a smooth ride, when I read in-house music, I had thought it will be a cool jam coming from one of those vent up there but no it was one boring set of songs you have to listen to(sad).

I had three seats to myself as no one was there so I was able to stretched n lie down well.
By all means download movies and music, iPhone do me strong thing o, not even Netflix . I was now waiting for WiFi atleast let me chat now , that’s how the hostess said no WiFi (cries). Boredom pro max .
Had to manage the dry songs n watch few interesting movies.

Then I was given declaration form , I kuku didn’t understand most of what they wanted but I sha filled something . The most confusing thing for me was the time difference, my time kept changing as weather chai.

We were served rice with chicken , Na so I no fit chop am because hmmm, I like eba and afang and so everything was strange. I told them to give me the dry bread n butter n water.


We got to Dublin around 6:35 am and some passengers dropped and we waited for 45 mins still seated for refilling n all that. We got to Toronto around 8:am(again time difference).

I filled my covid form on the system provided n was given a slip, proceeded to immigration, I was asked for passport , loa and school fees receipt, then he gave my study permit to me and went further by telling me about the 20hrs allowed for work .

I was there waiting for more question but none , I also waited for welcome to Canada , rather he said enjoy your stay and that was it.

Moved to take my connecting flight to Vancouver, that’s how they told me I must quarantine in Toronto, told them my mandatory hotel stay was booked in Vancouver and my flight would soon move , them no hear , had to cancel my booking and rebook in Toronto .

Please no matter where you going in Canada , as far as you stopping at Toronto, reserve your hotel in Toronto, that’s the only way they will allow you move further.

Did my covid test and was given a test kit to retest a week after and then we were taken to our hotel . Currently quarantining at Toronto before moving to my final destination.

For all PPR hopeful , I wish everyone nothing but good news.
Amen.

Congratulations!!

This was a 2nd Application. First application I did not include any of the above documents. I was a complete novice. (Lol). I didn’t even include my Tuition receipt or CAC or property docs, nothing at all, just my LOA, qualifications and passport that’s all.

But thank God for Nairaland where I learned everything I needed to know for a successful application (especially, as a self-sponsored applicant).

Also, since I didn’t include vital docs in my last application, I decided to overload them with documents this time around

I keyed in to @justexcellent testimony of his approval and wrote out the same prayer points he used while I fasted earlier this year.

God bless you all richly and establish us in our quests for destiny fulfillment. A big thank you goes out to @frankrobbn, @justmellow, @justexcellent (for that wonderful and inspiring testimony), @lekiboboe for your tireless constant help here, and of course to everyone new and old who has contributed to the success of this thread thereby helping fulfill destinies. God bless and reward you all abundantly in Jesus Mighty name.

End Note: my love letter arrived while I was praying this morning by 4am. Didn’t realize it until I checked by 12noon thereabout.

Didn’t know they send PPRs on Saturdays!!!

INDEED WHAT GOD CANNOT DO DOES NOT EXIST.

Thanks for your response, it's not the space just wondering if they actually read it

EmeeNaka:
That space in Webform is enough. You can type up to 1500 words there

Good evening everyone, please when raising a webform do I need to include a letter to explain the documents and why am sending it?
Or that space for message in the webform is sufficient. (Do they really read that part?)

Please help I need to include a document. Thank you

If you have the time between your admission and resumption or you are not in hurry and dont mind deferment if it goes left? you can try with them and see what happens. Then next time apply alone.

Like it has been said including them is not easy but it is not impossible. You will have to show sufficient funds, and proof in detail how you plan to care for them during your studies and then a rock solid home ties but still it will all fall in the hands of the VO and God's grace.

My 2cents

WarriBrandChic:
Lol. Oyinbo english and wahala. One is 2yrs and the other is 4yrs. Kai, it's so difficult to leave them behind. Thanks so much for the info, much appreciated.

It's clearly stated on their site oh and it's still there incase anybody want to say "they did not say" lol

Thaiy:
Which one is '' they said biometrics, who is the they? '' when was this said and where?

Had my application submitted on 15th May, biometrics 18th, have an upfront medical this Saturday, 26th June.

What IRCC calls a complete application, is the biometrics and medicals, if all this can be done, medical passed it did be within the timeframe.

It will end in praise for us all.

Happy for you! Congrats again

Queenmama03:
Omo my story long oo! But i'll just go straight to the point.

First time applicant, self sponsored although I finished with a first class in economics, I have a 10yr study gap so I wasn't sure how that played out. Going for Masters in Economics at UNB. I'm employed and also have a side business I registered last year. Previous travel to US and Turkey. I wrote GRE, applied and got admission myself but when it came to visa application my liver failed me. That was where Frank (God bless his soul) came to my rescue. Timeline:

Applied 22nd Apr
Vfs biometric 26th Apr
Eligibility & background check started 4th May (may have been earlier but after applying I didn't check the portal until this date)
Upfront Medical done 4th May
Medical E-Slip uploaded 6th May
Biometrics Updated 6th May (I had to email them a reminder)
Medical Passed 7th May
Ghost update 4th June
Sent renewed passport & unconditional acceptance letter via webform 8th June
Agreement prayer with husband when I noticed April applicants getting their decisions 16th June
Ghost update 16th June
BVL & PPR 21st June

Regarding ghost updates, I may have had more but I only check my portal once or max twice a week on average so I can't really say. Also I didn't pay school fees o, not even deposit. The Ijebu in me didn't let me part with my money before visa approval also my school didn't make it compulsory.

Document submitted
Transcripts
SOP
GRE
IELTS
MBS & regular account statement (First bank doesn't have MBS so I just submitted the regular statement and included introduction letter from the bank)
WAEC Certificate
Degree certificate
Employment letter
Introduction letter from employer
Study leave approval letter
Consent letter from my husband
We both indicated that my mum will be taking care of my kids in my absence
Husband's employment letter and work related documents
ID's of my parents and siblings

Hmm the waiting wasn't funny o especially when I see the type of document people submit here, at some point I felt I may not have submitted enough. I just told myself "las las if dem deny my application i'll just focus on my business''. But alas! God did it. Also special thanks to @Lekiboboe his posts really guided me when I was searching for graduate programs.

To all those still waiting, I wish you the very best, God willing it will end the praise.

signing out.
