Please how much does VFS charges for returned couriers and do we also need to fill out consent forms for the children?
TravelRe: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by highburygonner: 5:24pm On Feb 04, 2023
The Lord has done it for my family.

PPR dropped for my wife and children yesterday.

SOWP for my wife, a student visa for my first child, and visiting for my lastborn.
Their applications were submitted before I left Nigeria.

I got my student visa in June, and I then deferred admission from September to January.

Documents submitted:
4 months bank statements (both MBS and statements of account)
Marriage certificate and loads of family pictures
Her work-related documents
daughter's school-related documents
Children's birth certificates

Timeline:
Upfront medical: November 7, 2023
Application submitted: November 11, 2022
Biometric: November 14, 2022
I ordered the first GCMS through anon123 on December 11th, and it arrived on January 10th, 2023, with nothing but medical passes.
Medical passed: December 14, 2022 (this was 2 days after my wife sent them an emotional email)
Eligibility review: We are not sure when this started, but we saw it on December 30, 2022.
I ordered the second GCMS on January 12th and am still waiting for it.
PPR: February 3, 2023

I got to Canada on January 3, 2023.
My wife immediately sent my student permit letter, course enrollment, and class schedule through email and Webform IRCC.

God has been faithful to us, and I give Him all glory.
Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed to this thread; you guys are amazing. Though I never got to ask questions here, I did get most of the information we used here.
A special thanks goes to Ketima for making me realise I could actually apply for SOWP before leaving for Canada. Man, you gave me the moral I needed, and thank you for answering my numerous emails. Also to anon123, thank you very much; you are the best. Skull4eva, thank you for your contributions here, God bless you.

Hello Highburygonner, congratulations!

Please I'll like to know how you submitted your references for seneca college application? did you upload reference letters or did you add their contacts to your cv?
I'll appreciate your response, thank you.
Did they asked you provide a reference? When I applied, I wasn't asked for references. So I didn't provide one.
I also don't add references to my resume.

TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by highburygonner: 7:58pm On Jun 30, 2022
God did it. I give him all the praise. This would have been impossible without Him.
 
My journey to Canada began in 2014, when I submitted an application for the Federal Skilled Workers program. I sent my documents to Canada in December of 2014, and in April of 2015, I called to inquire about the status of my application, only to be informed that it had been returned to my address because the NOC that I applied for was full. I never received those documents back.
 
I was devastated, having invested time, effort, and money. My then agent requested that I reapply immediately through the newly introduced express entry program, as I met all of the requirements but was too emotionally exhausted to undergo the process again. I basically gave up on the Canadian dream.

Life goes on.

In 2017, my wife and I made the decision to try again. In 2018, I entered the pool, but my points were just too low to get an invitation to apply. I also applied for PNP in some provinces, but I wasn't selected. 

This time, however, we resolved not to give up. We will keep trying.

Going to Canada through study was never appealing to me.

All that changed last year, when we decided to try the study route. I came here to learn the requirements and the process involved. I was astounded by the quantity of information I received. I read parts 18–20 to gain a comprehensive understanding of the entire process. I discovered that I could do it myself after receiving loads of information here.
 
I applied and got admitted to some schools, but decided to settle for Seneca College (1 year program PG). 

After paying the 1st semester tuition fees in February, I realized that the available funds would not be enough to show proof of funds. We then decided to sell one of our properties. From the proceeds of the sales, I was able to pay the second semester tuition fees and send some money to my spouse's account for family upkeep (I did all these things to demonstrate that the lump sum was not intended for demonstration purposes).

Timeline:
Application submitted May 11th, 2022.
Biometric was done on the 16th of May, 2022 and was updated the same day.
I booked June 20, 2022 for an upfront medical at IOM.
Medical request in the early hours of June 18th. Omo I was excited.
Medical done: 20th of June
Medical updated: 22nd of June.
BVL: 30 June 2022
PPR: 30 June 2022

Documents submitted:
SOP
LOE (extensively explaining lump sum, breaking down proof of funds, etc.)
LOA
Tuition fees receipt (full year payment)
Attestation of Birth certificate
MBS (5 different accounts)
Police Character Certificate
NIN
Offer of appointment letter
Confirmation of offer of appointment letter
Salary increment letter
Recommendation letter from CEO
Reference letter from my immediate boss
Study leave approval letter
4 months payslips
4 months MBS salary acc.
Staff ID Card
Marriage certificate
Consent letter from spouse
Family pictures
Spouse's NIN and Birth certificate
Children' s NIN and Birth certificate

ND/ HND Certificate
WES evaluation
Résumé
Professional certificates
NYSC certificate
Properties (Valuation Reports)
Deed of assignment and power of Attorney of property sold
Cars (proof of ownership certificates)

A guy I did medical with on the 20th had his medical updated on the 23rd and received PPR on the 24th, so I was concerned when I didn't receive PPR after my medical was updated to pass. Due to this, anxiety nearly killed me.I was wondering why I had not yet received PPR and what could have caused the delay.
Yesterday at 4 p.m., I began sending emails to a number of email addresses found on this page. I submitted a web form to Nairobi as well.
Then, I received the golden mail this morning.
I believe that the email and web form did the trick.

A big shout out to Justmellow for writing an outstanding SOP and for reviewing my final documents.I emailed him a lengthy draft. He shortened it into a 3-page study plan, and it made a lot of sense, though I had to write an elaborate LOE.
Thanks to Frank for providing me with advice that altered the entirety of my application.
I am grateful to Anon for reviewing my documents at a very short notice.
God bless you all.
A special shout out to @ACTIVATEOLUWASE, a brother I met here. When I needed assistance with my Form A, he graciously walked me through the steps. Thanks brother. I eagerly anticipate your good news.
Thanks to all contributors, you are all doing a yoeman' s job. God bless you all.
God will certainly remember all PPR hopefuls.

I apologize for the long post.
TravelRe: Canadian Student Visa Thread Part 21 by highburygonner: 11:06am On Jun 30, 2022
The LORD has done it.
It's PPR guys.


I will be back with the gist and timeline.

The address is not really a problem ....it's just for bank record purposes .
What is ideally important is raising the draft in favour of the Receiver General for Canada which you have done.
No issues with the address given,,,,,,......you're fine.
Cheers.
Thanks. You are the man
Wishing you the best in your endeavors.

Good morning my people. @damkollins and other grand masters in the house, I went to GTB yesterday to raise a dd in favour of 'Receiver general for Canada '. Moment after I left the bank, the bank called for the address of the beneficiary and I gave them this address CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION CANADA
49 DORCHESTER STREET
SYDNEY, NS
B1P 5Z2
