Hello Nairalanders,

So I just cancelled my minor children visiting visa application, so I can submit a study permit for them and I got this mail for IRCC;

Good day,

Thank you for contacting Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

A note has been added on file to notify the responsible office that you wish to withdraw your application. The office will determine if your application can be withdrawn and will issue a refund within 16 weeks of the withdrawal, if applicable.

For information purposes, if you have submitted your application with family members and you are the principal applicant, the office will also withdraw their applications.
_________<________<________

I want to know if can submit a study permit for them, since the application is not technically withdrawn, provided I got this email from with NOTE on the application.
Any advise will be appointed.

Check this link https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/get-documents/financial-support.html.

For a family of 2 you will need a minimum of $25,600 CAD. Also you will consider flight fee and other miscellaneous so to be safe present a pof of $35,000 CAD. The higher the better

Let's know their age??

Thanks for the update. I appreciate it a lot; yes, I have cancelled the application. Hence, I am in the process of submitting a strong and consistent study permit application for them whilst I apply for SOWP and explaining and adding support documents for my two previous disapprovers. Also, if anybody knows how to calculate the required funds for IRCC, for a family of 5, it's $43,500, my wife's outstanding tuition fees are $15,500, and flight fees for four people on one way is $7000 CAD and medical insurance is $1600 for a year. Will $70,000 as POF suffice??
Thanks.

Thanks for the advise, their age is 13yrs, 9 yrs and 5 yrs. So I know they are all eligible for study permit, and am also eligible for SOWP. The waiting time for visitor visa is my main concern, the response time could take up six month and I can't wait that long. Because of the emotional and financial stress that is given my family is much.

Thanks for the response, donr worry i have rhick skin for this type of trolls and nor bothered. Anyways the reason for the denial is insufficient funding and I applied for a conference visitor visa, but now my situation has changed because am now eligible for SOWP. The reason why am contemplating to withdrawal the application is long response time for visitor visa ite could take up to 6 months before we get response. Hence I can't wait that long because I have bills racking up in Canada (my wife accommodation and living expecting) and Nigeria (my children sch fees and living expenses) is taking a toll on my finances.
So am thinking to withdrawal the application and apply all together, I can should a funds of up 70k CAD for myself, 3 kids and the remaining of my wife sch fees of 16k CAD and travelling expenses. Am just afraid that my 2 prior rejection will not impact the new application.

Hello Guys,

How are you all doing today? please I need some advise on my Canada visa situation. I have been refuse a visa into Canada twice before, the last being January 2025. Currently my wife is granted a Study permit and currently doing her MBA in Canada, she travelled January 2025. Now the agent that h3lp me to submit her visa advised that I shouldn't put my application yet and that I submit my children application first. Then I can submit my own afterward(once my children visa is granted) which is a wonderful plan, however he submit a visitor visa application for them.
Whilst everybody is telling that the visitor visa, she submitted for children was wrong and he should submitted a study permit for them because it could take up to six months to get response from IRCC. hence I can't wait that long! because every month I wait bill is racking up on my neck in canada and nigeria. This has mental affected my wife and myself.
Also I was told that travelling agent misinformed us and that I should have submitted all the application together with my children because there is no waiting time to reapply after a refusal. I can show a substantial amount as a POF in my account.
Please I need an advise what should I do? because am thinking to withdrawing the visitor application for my children and resubmitting everything all at once.
Thanks.
