Thanks will tell him to do this

folla:
Is the primary applicant an international student? If yes, procure an updated transcript of the student and send to IRCC by webform.

This would help.

charlesoz19:
There is nothing much you can do. call their customer service line (use viber). raise more webform, contact the MP again and again. hopefully you get a response soon. All the way you have been contacting them repeat all process regularly

Asking for a friend :

Good day to all the Gurus in the house,
please we are in a dilemma and need your help and contributions.
We submitted application for spousal open work permit on December 2022 and a visiting visa for our 2years old son and till now we are yet to get a response from IRCC.
Updated proof of account was requested on May 2023 and it was submitted.
Medicals was requested on June 2023, son's medicals was updated to pass June 30, 2023
Spouse medical was updated to pass July 08, 2023 and since then we are yet to get any response from IRCC.
GCMS notes has been requested multiple times now and the notes says recommend interview for son , and eligibility passed for spouse.
We have sent numerous webforms but no response
sent mails and no response still.
We have also contacted the MP on November and he said IRCC said they will expedite the application.
but as at of present no response.
Please what next can we do .
thanks

it was part of the POF like a supporting acct before , but it was having 7k when we submitted.
the total amount was removed to support my brother travelling to the UK and he just landed last week, asking him for a refund is way too early
HEADYWORLD:
Uhmmm… this is where the issue is, if the 10k cad in your spouse account can make up for the reduction in POF, try merge the account and explain it convincingly enough. But your spouse Canadian account was not part of the POF before. How much was removed from the account??
TravelRe: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by GbemiBukk(f): 1:31pm On Jun 08, 2023
Thank you,
The funds has reduced significantly as part of it was used for land purchase and the other was used to support siblings for travelling to the UK.
But my spouse has almost 10K Cad as she is already in canada.
how do we address this.
Also wont it be a lump sum if we are to make it up before printing ?

HEADYWORLD:
If the fund is still intact, go to your bank to get another statement and a reference letter.submit it

But if the fund has reduced significantly, make up for it before printing and explain it thoroughly. All the best.

hello Princess, how were you able to check your application from the application tracker ?

Princessmay11:
Hello Gurus in the house, I applied for SOWP with visitor’s visa for my 11 months old baby March 12th, did Biometrics March 20th. My husband traveled May 2nd, my eligibility started May 5th, and till now May 17th I haven’t gotten any response. Would it be okay to send webform pleading my application should be expedited ? I checked the application tracker and my application was last updated May 8th.

Good morning,
Asking for a friend.
His study permit has been approved and passport stamped, LOI dropped and medical validity was July 28. So medical has expired.
He already booked his flight to travel for August 15, but already has another medical done at IOM, Ikeja.
Would he need to wait for his new medicals to be updated to pass before he can travel,
Or he just have to carry with him d medic sheet.
Please house help.
Hope no problem. Thank you

Its PPR for my husband's sowp
Application submitted: March 22, 2022 (all of our applications were packaged and submitted by us)
Upfront medical: March 15, 2022
Biometric: March 29, 2022
BVL : June 15, 2022
PPR: June 15, 2022 (dropped 12 mins after bvl)

I came into Canada with our son in January, and we submitted my husband's sowp application, due to the long processing time on ircc page and an urgent health issue relating to me, we submitted another visit application using the new portal on the 11th of April. Then the wait began, but we trusted God for miracle and mercy. We sent many mails and webforms thinking IRCC will consider the health aspect and expedite the process. We started holding on to God's words especially Mathew 19:6 'What therefore God has joined together, let no man put asunder' let no delay, policy, protocol, ircc..... put asunder. Because this is our first time living separately as a family and I must confess its not easy. I also used those people who testified of their sowp applications approval within 65, 72, 79 days as prayer point.
I was still preparing to send my transcript to ircc before the end of the week but the approval came in when we least expected.
Today makes it 85 days and I am here to testify of God's mercy, goodness and faithfulness.

I pray for everyone waiting that God will remember you all in Jesus name.
I appreciate everyone on this platform, I will not forget to mention Lianna. God bless you all.

Who did it, Jesus.........Oh, my God.............

Good morning , please asking for a friend. He is trying to go for masters in Canada.
Did accounting as first degree ,but works with Nigeria civil defence for 10 years, please advice what can he apply for .
Thank you

Lekiboboe:
Hi

Getting Masters with a 2.2 in Canadian universities is slim, the minimum requirement of Canadian Universities is a 2.1

That being said, she should go for a PG.CERT in a LAW Related program

Your sister should do her research on the programs below and the programs in link and go for the one or ones that suites her

PG. Cert, Alternative Dispute Resolution (LAW GRADUATES)
Humber College, Ontario

BUSINESS LAW (POST-DEGREE DIPLOMA)
Douglas College, British Columbia

PG. Cert in Paralegal Programs and PG. Cert in Investigation related Programs (LAW GRADUATES)

Refusal can never be because she is pregnant. She can get the visa even if she is pregnant.
Did upfront medicals when I was 6months pregnant and I got the visa.

MrsOwoks:
Hello, I’m new here and would like to say I’ve learnt a lot from this thread and am so grateful ��, please I would like to ask a question for my sister, she applied Nov 2021 and she’s yet to do get any update for medical, now she’s pregnant and scared that even when they ask her to go for medical she might not get the visa, please is it true? She applied to a college, she has been really disturbed since yesterday��

Join me in celebrating God's faithfulness because what he cannot do indeed does not exist!!!
SOWP and study visa applications approved same day!!!

My husband's  SOWP and my 11year old son study permit got approved after the 3rd attempt.
First attempt 2016 we all applied as a family and were all bounced on purpose of visit and home ties. After I got my study permit approved in June 2021 we reapplied  on
11 July 2021 - visitors visa for hubby and study permit for kids
Refused 29th September

Reapplied October 29 before the GCMS notes came because it was delayed.
Medical for my husband November 15 ( my son had done his medicals earlier)
Medical passed November 22
GCMS notes finally came in late November- December 2021 (applied for hubby and the kids and they all came at different dates, one even came in the middle of December) GCMS notes showed the VO was concerned about the cost implications of running 2 homes and home ties.
Luckily all those concerns had been adequately tackled in the SOP during reapplication.
In the course of waiting a friend who had also applied for study permit for her kids decided to try out the new IRCC portal and got her kids visitor visa approved in 7days so we decided to give it a try too. Visitor visa application was done on the 19th of December 2021...then another round of waiting commenced.
Eligibility 20/01/2022 (noticed my son's medical was passed on that date)

PPRs January 21, 2022!!!
