Study permit for children above 5years old...
Minor children before entering Canada
Minor children who want to study for six months or more must apply for a study permit before they enter Canada. This includes minor children who come with parents who had a study or work permit approved overseas.

Dewandow:
Okay you opened profile (cic account) separate for ur kids ND spouse?
@dewandow, by the time you answer the questionnaire at the beginning of your study application. ( you would answer the question are you coming with your kids if yes how many kids? Are u coming with your spouse etc). When you finish answering those questions then your application forms would load.

Then you would see it as a family application with ( 1 main applicant, 1 spouse, 1 kid etc)

You will then fill in your names as per the forms in your application.

Congrats and thank God for you but please how come you submitted so many documents. There are not many places in the online form to attach and submit many of the documents you listed. Or where these submitted physically?
All documents were uploaded online. I used ilovepdf.com to reduce and compress my file sizes.
It was stressful, I had to go back and forth reducing all docs before getting an okay quality with the 4mb size for each of the upload.

i also added some docs to my spouse and kids profile.

Congratulations forward...please clarify about that gcms notes part. Did they respond with PPR after you got the notes or just when you ordered ?
They responded to PPR for my spouse after i had sent an email stating that i had ordered my GCMS to know the situation of my application. After my spouse own came then we got approval for the family.
I sent this email 1 day after i had ordered. I ordered for it 1st week in November. My GCMS has not even come yet. smiley

If you are applying as a family with Children, upon passport submission we paid 11k for each child for ‘’passport Transmission.’’

Mathew 17 vs 201- ‘’Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

It ended in praise, My God will do yours also and you shall testify in Jesus mighty name amen!

Good morning NL,

Please guru in the house I need your help my application would be 7months in few days time

I applied via online May 19 2018
I got my medical request 21st of August a day to my resumption.
Medical passed August 27th

No Passport request from them since August.

I have sent them several emails the last reply l got from them shocked me



"""Dear Henry,

We write in reply to your enquiry dated November 7.

Please note that your application for a study permit is currently under active review.

You will be notified via your online account once a decision has been reached.

In order to ensure we provide the highest level of customer service to all clients, we are unable to continue responding to enquiries on this case.

We trust this information is of assistance to you.

Kind regards"""

Why this so much delay after medical passed

Please I need your advice my next resumption is February 2019
Hello @Henkubert,

I will advice you to apply for your GCMS notes immediately. ( Infact you wouldn't have waitied this long before applying sef)
In addition, send them ( several) and emails and fill several CSC's stating that your application has been processed way beyond the processing time and also state in your email specifically that you have ordererd your GCMS notes to see for yourself the true situation of your appplication.

I did this and it worked for me. i got a response the next day. I also hope you are praying and trusting God.

Good Morning Nairalanders,

Listen, Fear bows down to Faith!

2nd Timothy 1 vs 7: For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
Never condescend to Fear. The currency that God recognizes is Faith. Fear is of the Devil while Faith is of God. Fear disappears when Faith is present.

Jeremiah 32 vs 27. "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of [b]ALL [/b]flesh; is anything too difficult for Me?’’
Absolutely nothing!

Walk in this conviction this week.

May all our Study TRV desires come through this week in Jesus mighty name.
It will end in praises and thanksgiving.

Be faith-filled.

Goingforward.

My personal advice: subject to other opinions .Do your own and the baby first, and later that of your husband. Home tie must be seen to be so strong now. He can always apply later to accompany you with this reason you gave and any other cogent reason(s) as the case may be. Provisions are always available for children.
@Trizadove

My personal advice is GO with your family ( at least with all your children), you can include your husband if you have enough funds to show.

Just make sure that you have the funds to show for living expenses and 1-year tuition.

From my observation, they are a bit lenient with mothers who are furthering their education, with their family. VO's are human beings. It may even be a female VO that will work on your file. VO's know how important it is for mothers to be with their children.

Simply convince the VO in your SOP that you will return with your family after studies.

Hello Nairalanders,

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts” (Isa. 55:8–9).

God’s ways are higher. Trust that he has a divine purpose for every delay. Our viewpoint may be limited, but God sees all things. Proverbs 3:5 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” God may be putting everything in place before revealing His blessing to Us.

May God's blessings come to us speedily in Jesus name. I decree and declare open heavens upon our Canada study Visa applications.

Have an approval filled week in Jesus mighty name. Amen.

Hi nairalanders, I am a silent reader. I got to know about this group 6weeks ago. I got approval for student visa this morning and want to share my story.
I graduated bachelors in technology in Aerospace engineering india on that 31th of may 2018. I graduated with first class with gpa of 9.4/10 (or 4.7/5 Nigerian equivalent). I got admission to do my master in aerospace engineering for fall 2018 at concordia university. I applied for my first Canadian visa with 6 weeks left on my indian student visa. (At that time the processing time in india have climbed to 7weeks). After 5 weeks I withdraw my application in order not to overstay my visa which will be a very bad thing for me and came back to nigeria. I defferd my admission to winter 2019 and applied for study permit in Nigeria paper route on Sep 17 ,2018. I started reading nairaland and boy O' boy i got freaking scared. After 5 weeks i got tired of all this and applied for fall 2019 intake at the best aerospace institute in france . This morning I got approval. Sidenote: I am not religious and the constant reliance on a supreme being to help your visa chances in this group got me a bit irritated. But I respect everyone's view and perspective.

Timeline:
Degree: masters in aerospace engineering
Submission date: 17 Sept 2018 with upfront medical and bio. ( I used the one I did in india for both medical and bio)
Submission type : paper route
Linked my application on the third day
Eligibility review started on the 22nd October.
Approval on 2nd November
Time taken 6 weeks and 4days

Hello Nairalanders,

I pray for everyone reading this.
That you receive peace in your heart knowing that God does not sleep or slumber on anything that concerns you.

God's promises for us are true and sure.
God is an expert in turning the tables around in the favor of His children. Read Daniel 6 vs 19-28.
Daniel may have felt forgotten while in the Lion's den, but God never forgot him.

I pray that the God of Daniel, our God, will turn the tables around as we continually wait and trust Him and our applications shall receive apt and speedy attention and approval in the mighty name of Jesus.

Have a week filled with laughter and rejoicing in Jesus name.

Amen

Hello Nairalanders,

I want to encourage you with Esther 6 vs 1-3. ''On that night the king could not sleep. And he gave orders to bring the book of memorable deeds, the chronicles, and they were read before the king.''.

I decree that a book of remembrance is opened upon our Canada visa applications this morning.

For each and every person who's timeline has elapsed and it seems that we have been forgotten, that the visa officers responsible for our applications will lose sleep until they have attended to and until our applications are favored, and our approvals are granted in the mighty name of Jesus.

vs 3, ''And the king said, “What honor or distinction has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?” The king’s young men who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.”

I decree that our applications right from this moment begin to receive priority and that the entire host of heaven begins to fast track it in the mighty name of Jesus.

Just as the King lost sleep until Mordecai was rewarded, as we have prayed, fasted, waited on God, I hereby decree by the power invested in me as a daughter of the most high God, that all the visa officers and staff responsible for all applications that have exceeded processing times begin to lose sleep until we are favored in the mighty name of Jesus. They will all not rest until they have done the will of God concerning our applications in Jesus name.

..... and the house shouts a thunderous AMEN!!!.

Have a miracle-filled week in Jesus name. Amen.

Hello Nairalanders,

My prayer this week is that each day will be filled with testimonies.
Sometimes life can seem haphazard and accidental, but i want you to know that overall the seeming accidents in our lives, God is at work.

God is all knowing and everything he does in our best interest. 1st Samuel 2.
My prayer today is that you connect with Him, your source.

Ask Him, seek him, let Him into everything that concerns you.
He will perfect everything that concerns you.

May God grant us the courage to wait on Him, Trust Him and may He continually strengthen our faith with milestone testimonies every step of the way.

May God grant us our Canada visas, approved and stamped. Hold on, we shall all testify in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Have a groundbreaking testimony filled week in Jesus name. Amen.

Hello Nairalanders,

May our God grant us favour this new week.
I command a release of our long-awaited Testimony.
The Canada Visa officers shall favour our applications in the mighty name of Jesus.
My word for you today is have faith, ''though it tarries, wait for it, for it shall surely come, it will not delay.'' Habakkuk 2 vs 3.

God does not abandon His own. God is still God and He makes the impossible, possible.
He will do what may seem impossible for your in this month and we all shall testify in Jesus mighty name. Amen,


Have a miracle-filled, Visa approvals week in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

Hello madam.

Please, just want to ask why your spouse didn't submit his application with urs and the kid(s).........What is the danger in applying together as I am about with my spouse and two kids.. The concern is how to convince the VO that the real intention is to study. Lucky not to have my details in express entry pool as I feel background check can extend to that pool to ascertain intention. Still expecting York to give me admission to their new masters in Supply Chains, otherwise I will go for PGD in Centennial or Humber.
It was submitted together as a family application, however his own is still in eligibility review/med passed.
while ours has been processed already.

If you read from page zero of this thread many seniors here have provided valid points on how to tackle writing a convincing SOP.
Maybe provide more information about your profile and sample SOP you have already written and post it here and myself and other gurus here can help read and add our 2cents.

It's not a good idea to also have a profile in the EE pool as you have already noted the reason in your post. ( it will show dual intent to study and remain in Canada afterward, hence defending that you will return will be difficult before the VO).

APRIL/MAY/JUNE/JULY/AUGUST APPLICANTS WHO HAVE SHARED THEIR PROFILES
Note: this is not a list of fall/winter applicants. It is strictly a list study permit applicants who have responded to and given
their profiles to help establish a timeline as to how CIC operates. Based on the analysis of the data, it is holding true
that biometrics is often requested within 24 hrs to 2 days after transmission for online applicants; review of eligibility is started within 8-10 weeks, medical call between 10-12 weeks and decision dished out within 12-14 weeks. Paper Application it seems is significantly faster than online application. As usual, there are outliers to this average. We shall get madame @Goinforward when she gets back online, to come and pray and reach out to the throne of grace on behalf of all applicants. For all the applicants listed below who were so generous in sharing their profiles, we say a special thank you and more grace. It shall surely end in praise!!

Heavenly father i put you in remembrance regarding your word in Mathew 17 vs 20. ''Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

I command the heavens of the blessings of our awaited testimony be opened.
Dear Lord, let your mercy and grace prevail over our applications In Jesus Mighty name.

Amen.

Have a week filled with blessings and testimony.

goingforward.

Hi @Cherryola,

I think you can go with the suggestions that @jnyuwa02 @mcobex have provided as they have guided many on this forum including me.
As I don't have the full details of your profile and what you previously submitted.

One tip from me is- Get someone to crosscheck your SOP again for typo errors before you submit.

congrats on your visa application success . You can drive with your r Nigerian drivers license here. But in the absence of this, you can procure an international one.
My driver's license is still in paper form since Dec 2017. i don't have the card yet and they keep saying it's not ready yet. So i think getting an International Drivers license will be better for me.
Any idea who issues it?

Goingforward.

Doyenrey:
I got the same update yesterday. When do you think we would get our passports?

I pray your husband gets his approval soon.
Amen at your prayers. Maybe it's the same VO that is handling our applications. smiley

I think between 5 - 8 days from the date of submission.
I know someone who recently submitted and passport was ready on the 7th day after submission.

Hi Nairalanders,

Still waiting for my hubby's approval. It will end in praises and thanksgiving in Jesus name.
However, we got an update yesterday for Medical passed for all of us meanwhile passport is already with the Visa office. cheesy cheesy cheesy grin grin grin.

Please, I want to ask, does anyone have an idea how to go about getting an International Drivers license in Nigeria?
Is it okay to land Canada on a weekend? say Saturday or Sunday. For people that have landed, was it better landing on weekday or a weekend?. I have plenty load. smiley

Thanks in advance.
