So moving the funds to her account won't be seen as a lump sum?

I was thinking we should just leave it in the business account and state that 50% of the fund will be used to support the fund. Please what do you advise??
If you move form your business account to her account, it already a lumpsum. Just explain the money came from the business account

@Makano, Skull4eva, lizzygirl, estake, survivex, DrAFOguns, jimogh111, Shommyface, SweetJJ, drokiri, HEAVYWORLD, et al,

1. I went to DHL office today and they are still claiming that they are doing two-ways courier service to VFS. Hope is good to still use them?

2. Also, how much should i pay per persons?

3. I seperated each requirement per person and included them all in one big envelope. The big envelope now contains all kids envelope and spouse's own as well. Hope this is the right thing to do?


Please, kindly answer this becaus I plan to send it first thing in the morning.

Thanks, in anticipation.
I heard too, you can do 2 way with DHL

You pay 9410 for transmission fee and 990 each for sms for your kids that don’t do biometrics.

Yeah, the package is ok

Please whoever have the UPS breakdown on how to send passports two-ways should kindly share again or refer me to where i can find it.

Thanks, in anticipation.
Your PPR will surely drop, you can send and raise webform, send mail to Abuja office too.

While waiting for your PPR, I will advise you send your children passport by next week before their 30 days ultimatum elapse.

Locate any UPS office closer to you and request for 2 way courier to VFS office.

To send through UPS.

You will pay for processing fees for those of your kids that don’t do biometrics about 9930 or so.

Attach the receipts to the envelope you are sending, including their passport, consent form, you can search for other required documents on VFS website

If after tracking your application you can see your visa document number what does it mean? does anyone have an idea...i got my BVL march 23rd 2023...havent gotten any response yet from IRCC
It means your application was approved, they probably forget to upload your visa approval letter or some technical glitch.

Send mail to Abuja and all the offices. Raise webform too, I experience same thing but mine was uploaded within 24 hours

After starting classes, I had an emergency in naija. So I deffered for a year and left to naija. I submitted my admission letter and attached my student profile page that shows Fall 23. My previous enrolment letter too. Tuition receipt for 1yr. And I explained the situation extensively on the SOP.


The school does not issue new admission letter.

If I should do reconsideration, I think I would have to add a new document. Maybe a letter from school confirming the deferral . What do you think.
That should do

Yes. It was a refusal for my wife. But that of my daughter (vv) is still there.


*Reasons*


You do not qualify under the IMP as you provided insufficient information to demonstrate
that your spouse is actively engaged in full-time studies in Canada. Refused under R205(c)(ii).
Raise reconsideration through webform

Send all your evidence of studentship and a letter for reconsideration

Dear @Makano, aestake, DrAFOguns, Profgordons, HEADYWORLD, Lizzy et al,


Good day all,

I applied for sowp and sp for my children, we got medical request and it has been updated to pass for all of us.

Here is my concern, one of my children's PPR dropped almost 48hrs ago, however, no update for the rest of us since then.

I sent a mail yesterday, but nothing so far. What's your advice to me?

Thanks for your response.

Good evening house,
Please I have a really important question, my husband just got student visa to NBCC Canada, now in the letter of Intent, he listed me as home ties and that I Have agreed to stay back and take care of our 4 year old boy. With this in mind, can I apply for SOWP before he leaves Nigeria (He'll be leaving in July), or do I wait till he gets there and settle down before I apply? I hope it won't look deceptive that I plan to join him even though I agreed to stay behind in our letter of intent...?
Thanks for your help everyone
Nothing to worry about. People change their mind and you apply now for your SOWP or when he left.

Get your documents and write SOP why you want to follow him or why he wants you guy to be with him. You are good to go.

Dear @Makano, aestake, Technix, Toceen2022, DrAFOgons, Profgordons, HEADYWORLD, Lizzy et al,

I noticed the status of medical for my application now shows "We are reviewing the results of your medical exam"


I have not done upfront medicals nor have they sent medical requests.

What does this imply?

A response will be highly appreciated
I really don’t know but someone said it means they will send you medical requests if you need one, so if I be you, I will book my medical do it upfront and send to them. Congratulations in advance

Dear @Makano, aestake, DrAFOgons, Profgordons, HEADYWORLD, Lizzy et al,



Good day everybody, I applied for sowp and study visa for my children, 3 of them. We did upfront medical last week tuesday, no message from IOM so far. However, I got a message from ircc requesting medical for my daughter today, no message for the rest of us. I checked the portal and noticed that they are reviewing my medical result, but no update for my other children.
I'm a bit confused as we all applied together, can anyone explain to me if this is normal. Thanks so much.
I want you to know it’s a good sign. Send the medical results for all member of the family through webform.

Please someone should throw more light to this. My family is sending their passport off tomorrow. Since DHL only do one way now. How do we get the passport back?
Use UPS for 2 way courier, they are the only one allowed by VFS.


But if you want to use DHL, it’s only one way but you can pay for VFS delivery which 18710 per passport.

I will advice you look for UPS and pay for 2 way courier, it’s cheaper that way

Someone posted that they use DHL for 2 way

To all the great gurus in the house. Please, I need your assistance on the next thing to do

I got a refusal letter for SOWP for myself, OSP for 3 kids, and VV for my last daughter. Wifey has been crying all-day

Thank you for your interest in working in Canada. After careful review of your work permit
application and supporting documentation under the International Mobility Program, I have
determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee
Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). I am refusing
your application on the following grounds:

• Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel
for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).
• You do not have significant family ties outside Canada.
• Your current employment situation does not show that you are financially established in
your country of residence.

document submitted:

 Letter of explanation
 Employment/ academic credentials/ Job experience
- Monthly pay slips (two months)
- Tax certificate
- Pension certificate
- BSc certificate
- NYSC certificate
- Resume/CV
 Evidence to support economic and family ties
- Leave of absence letter
- Pension statement of account
- Personal building accommodation documents (not valued)
- Landed property documents (not valued)
- Vehicle documents (not valued)
- Family pictures
 Evidence to support funds and financial situation
- Joint account statement in naira (38m)
- Pension account statement in naira (2m)
 Wife’s support documents
- invitation letter
- confirmation of enrolment letter
- official transcript
- Passport data page
- Visa page/Study permit
- Support letter of Custody
 Video calls communications

I was told by an agent that Canada doesn't accept ordinary bank statements again and that it has to be a statement with a generated token/passcode that can be used to verify the Funds immediately instead of contacting the Bank through CBN. is this true?

Also, that I need to value all my properties and not just snap and attach them.

Please, house I need your help on what to do
First apply for your CBSA notes to see the actual reason, the 38m considering your pension balance does not commensurate with your earnings, probably you don explain any lumpsum. On the issue of home tie, do you talk about relatives in Nigeria?

Valuation is not compulsory

On the bank statements, MBS is better than printed bank statements especially when the pages is more.

All the best

I got refusal today and I'm really confused because my sponsor is my mom and we share same surname, I uploaded a gift deeds and the account statement balance is 32m. I really don't understand what they mean by "You have not provided sufficient documentation to support your or your host's income and assets."

Please I need help because since I got this letter my headache increased, I thought I did everything right...

I'm begging you guys to help me cry
With this refusal reason, you don’t show enough proof of how your mum got the 32m in her account. Maybe na business or employment.

It’s not about having huge money in your account, you must explain the source. 32m is a lot of money and you need proof for it

This was why I asked earlier, you are married and you are applying without showing any funds from your own end. How will you cater for the family you are living behind, how is the visa officer going to be sure the funds will be available to you when you get to Canada, those are some of the concerns the visa officer will have? When you order for your notes, you will see more details
And do you submit your sisters business account?
