My little advise try and add more with the funds because you really required to provide $4,000 cad, and you need to add some for flight and miscellaneous.

For the deed of gift from your mom, you can add your mom bank account but knows that your mom will need to explain how she raise the funds she sent to your account.

AgEcon:
Hi guys,

I need some clarity on sowp.

My husband is a student in Canada and I intend to apply for sowp now. I am using a 4000 CAD gift deed from my mum as POF. To use this approach , do I need to submit mum's bank statement after my own bank statement, notarized letter of deed of gift?

Has anyone gotten approved recently using gift deeds without including the deed givers bank statement?

Thank you very much.

Been in Canada doesn't count, you need to follow normal processing infact is better you come back and apply in Nigeria .

Ajokelawal:
Good morning house, please I am already in Canada currently holding a visitors visa, and I have an admission for spring term, I want to apply for study permit, will I need a proof of funds to apply since am already in Canada as a visitor.

You can do valuation for current value of the property in naira

Yes you can mention your remote work and submit all documents related to the work

drizzy22:
If I am using landed properties/building as home times, is it necessary to state the current value in naira of this properties? Or should I do am updated deed to show the new value.

Also, I graduated 2018 and left NYSC 2020, ever since then, I have been working remotely as an IT support staff with a company in Europe, I also have a an IT business registered. Would it be okay to state my remote work in my CV? Also, if I want to apply for visa, is it necessary to submit the employment agreement and pay slips from this remote company, they pay via foreign account (Payoneer). Or should I just use my business only as my source of fund/employment? Please I'll be happy if I get a response

What do you mean OWP?
POE is Letter of instruction ?

OkukuOne:
Ontario mum, Please hold the minimum documents that you can relate with properly. From what I have seen, not much questioning but every case/person is unique. Having said that, i will advise, you hold:

1. Your letter of OWP
2. Letter of VV for your kids
3. POE Letter for you and you kids
4. Know the location where hubby resides (Home address)

Good luck!

Age 4+ can apply for a SP?

OkukuOne:
Age 3yrs + is VV. SP starts from kids that are 5yrs and above.

Good luck!

Lol I understand the emotional you and your son are, see is your right to apply for SOWP either your wife already in Canada or still in Nigeria.

The emotional blackmail is enough to get your SOWP and VV for your son lol bro, see these people knew our trick and they only toying with out emotional.

Go ahead and apply with your son I assure you will get your visa with your son.

Just include that you find it difficult since your wife left and you think is what you can handle before, but right now you can't withstand it any more because you and your family since you are married you never live apart for 2weeks .

Most especially your 2 years and 5 month old son always feel lonely and missed motherly care.

Best of luck

Lovecaleb2000:
Please everyone, I need your input in my situation, my wife just moved to Canada barely two weeks ago on a student visa that will last for 1 year. Please I want to apply for SOWP for myself and Visit visa for my son who is just 2years 5months old. Please do I need an invitation letter from my wife? Also like I have being seeing the proof of funds I need to show is 4K cad for myself and 3k cad for my son, plus 2k cad for miscellaneous. Making it 9k cad in total right? So does it mean with 9k I’m good to go financially? Also about my SOP, I explained about how my son cried and created a scene at the airport which was why I decided to apply, please is this a good enough excuse? Thank you all for your input and God bless you as you help others.

Sorry, she can submit her passport there in Uk

abousanogo83:


I guess you did not read what I wrote properly.

Another Passport Request Letter has been issued. She is presently in UK.
Can she mail the passport to the Canadian Embassy in UK or Mail it to Nigeria?

Thank you.

Nothing you or anyone on this thread can do than you wait till you get feedback from IRCC

Nedu2144:


Please I am I. The same situation now, what do you suggest I should do ?

Try payday

okomoney:


Thanks bro, i know they dont have Work permit. I choose it because it bc of low budget. How to get USA card bro any ideal. I will appreciate. Or any agent that can help to pay. Time is going

You can use only your company account if the business is trading shows multiple transactions with good balance.

Advantage with company account is that you don't need to explain lumps sum in your account, but make sure you submit all Documents related to your business.

innova8:
Thank you for the helpful information being shared here.

I'm new here and want to ask the following questions,

1. I don't have a salary account as I run my own business, how do I go about using my corporate account for the proof of funds or is it advisable I transfer salary to my personal account for the next 6 months before applying?

2. I and my wife will be visiting, does she need to provide proof of funds too?

3. How long does the process take?

MBS didn't determine making decision faster, but show legitimate of the bank statement.

Mind you either mbs, bank statement printed from banking app or the one printed from the bank is all acceptable

Good luck

ofime123:
Good evening all please how true is this, I had that using mbs for visit visa make you get decision faster. How true is this? Because am planning on using mbs instead of the printed out bank statement

Please how old is the kids you applied visitor visa for? I think age of 3yrs + can apply for study permit

rubber:
Hello Gurus

Congratulations you can have both on your passport is different visa

I had visitor and student visa on my passport too

Namzee99:
Guys, On Tuesday my VV was approved and I submitted passport on Wednesday. Today my SOWP was approved too.
The issue is i have already submitted my passport for stamping for the Visitor Visa.
Is it possible i can use both?
Or what do you guys think?

Thanks puffmama, I told a friend of mine that is not necessary is only required for Schengen country.

puffmama:
It's not , Canada,US and Uk don't require a travel insurance.
It is usually the schengen states that do .


quote author=Gentlesoul3268 post=125633710]
Good morning, those who recently apply for visitor visa is TRAVEL INSURANCE Needed?

Because when I applied for my own visa in 2021 I didn't put that travel insurance.

Asking this for a friend !!!!

They called it flagpole is very legal

gabby18:
I guess its up to u..
Since u have a valid VV u can travel with it..
Within a week of landing over there..go to the border as if u wanna go into the US..ur visa into the US wld be rejected and then u ll be given an SOWP visa...

Thars what a family friend did with her 2kids..she had a VV for just 1 week...and it was eventually converted to sowp since her husband schoold in Canada..its very legal..just google it..

If the main Applicant husband is going for 2 years course( already secured student visa) how much is dependant wife and Children required to show? 1 years proof of funds or 2 years ?

Example required funds below

Spousal :$4kCad

Each kids :$3Cad

Is this funds for 1 years or 2 years they required to provide?

Thanks

OkukuOne:
You would need a minimum of the below breakdown:

1. First dependent (spouse) = $4k CAD
2. Second dependent (7yrs) = 3k CAD
3. third dependent (5yrs) = 3k CAD
4. Fourth dependent (3yrs) = 3k CAD
5. misc = 3 - 4k CAD (This is so you do not blame the consultant or anyone again in the future. Our Naira is not something to be relied on and it can fluctuate at any time).

Also, back all with a good home tie. Aged parents and landed properties are good examples of home ties.

Note: You can reach me privately by email if you need a one-on-one coaching, but all you need is actually here if you are ready to work it out.

Good luck!

Sorry Rabio try and order GCMS note then we can know what really wrong .

Rabio:
Congratulations bro
Pls I need your help, I was denied visa by Canada embassy now wanna reapply, pls I really need your guidance towards it. Thanks @gentlesoul3268

Just declared in your new application under category if you have been refused Canada visa or other country visa? You need to answer Yes and write the year, and the reason you where refused simple

gbengz101:


You are supposed to link that refusal portal to this one to update your biometrics and if u paid another biometrics fee, u obviously didn't link the previous refusal and if that's why u avoided declaration of previous U.S refusal, there may be redflags sir.

Just click you want to do biometrics again when you are filling your form and if you want to pay they will add $85 cad for biometrics fee.

Nickelodeon93:
okay bro, thanks for the clarification, what are the requirements for the biometrics , I mean what do I go with

Simple but truth!!!!!! If you like use 1 day old bank statement with Lump sum just try to justify with evidence and proof with document to back your claim you are good .

IRCC understand Africa means of funds, and they don't expect you to have the money for many years in your bank account.

Just prove your claim with enough documents.

ExcellenceAb:


I got mine approved, even with bulk finances. They IRCC don't frown at lump sums (bulk finances), they frown at the inability of the applicant to explain how such funds got there.

I explained everything, detail by detail. As for your parent being your sponsor, you have to prove that he is your parent. And this can be done using your birth certificate (tell them that you have attached your birth certificate as evidence). Shalom

Sorry try and request the copy of your medical result from IOM through this email, IOM normally submitted result of medical to IRCC between 5-7 days you did your test.

IOMLagosClinicalTeam@iom.int

tarmmey:
Hello guys its been two weeks since i did my medicals and I didn’t get my medical results from iom neither have ircc updated my medicals.

Note i got a medical request the second day i did my upfront medicals.

You will get it this week mind took 15days

Letusconnect:
I submitted my passport through UPS since Aug 24th and till now it’s not ready, please how long should it normally take? Thank you.

Better you book for 2 weeks and use 100dollar to change the date when you arrive in Canada.

Beware 2 month is bad oooo

abousanogo83:
I want to book a flight for my wife and I. We intend staying for 2 months then return back. I just made a book on hold for 3 weeks so when we are in, I can put our return ticket on hold till we are ready to return then I call to schedule. Someone is also telling me to book the 2 months directly instead of that. Please house someone should give me an advice. Meanwhile our application was to Toronto but the flight we booked was to Vancouver. I hope those aren’t red flags. Thank you

Passport validity and biometrics validity determine how many years visa you would be issue, but you can Opt to re-do your biometrics if the biometrics validity is closing to 10years

Nickelodeon93:
Hello, have they requested for your friends passport?? If not before they do tell her to get new one of 5years minimum or 10 years because it’s the number of years in her passport that they will use as duration on her visa, is it’s 9 months that is remaining for her passport to expire na 9 months visa she go get

Definitely you can do the two at the same time.

I gotten my visitor visa and student permit recently

Annetar:
Hi pals, good afternoon pls I and hubby already started processing canada visitor visa(we already did biometric in august), before I gain admission into a university in Canada. Is it possible for me to process school visa also at the same time. So even when we are granted visa for visiting, can we ignore and process sch?? Pls I need advice

Congratulations samadex

SAMadex11:
Please celebrate with me. It has End in praise. Full gist Shortly

I rejoice with you kenoja, may the land of maple favour your son.

If I may asked ? What do you mean POF documents ? Or what POF documents your son travelled with?

Thanks

kenoja:
My Son Landing Update (to help guide others in line with our common goal of helping one another)

Took Air France from Lagos to Paris to Vancouver to Winnipeg (no transit visa required)

Air France requested for admission letter, letter of acceptance, school fees payment receipt and passport (with visa in it of course).

He gladly told me he was given his study permit without being asked any questions (obviously happy because we have over drilled him ready with so much questions etc.). Was told by the border officer to submit his passport and letter of introduction while other documents (POF docs) were given back to him.

His Port of Entry was Vancouver, so the experience may not be the same for everyone. Advisable to be over ready.

We thank God for a smooth journey for an unaccompanied Minor and we saw God's hands all over it.

Thanks I used Firefox and worked, wanna help my kid brother book appointment.

Total Tuition Fee= 9k excluding scholarship
I paid half of the tuition and I also printed a proof of funds of 20m for a 2yrs course


Any advice guys

SOWP and study permit and yes they are part of my home tie.

They also understand that family can later have a change of mind set at any particular time.

Your SOP will do the justice and God will perfect all the perfection Amen.
