Victory At last. Congratulations bro. Happy for you Also if anyone would love to get a ridiculously cheap tickets at last minutes, you could get a good deal. Just a dm away skull4eva: Guys! Finally the remaining part of the puzzle was solved this morning after more than 28 emails and webforms back to back. Remember my kids got PPR on 28 June 2022 while my spouse got medical request. The medicals was done July 14th at IOM and the stamped passports of the kids was gotten back from abuja VSF of July 15th. Iom sent the result for medical on July 21st and IRCC uploaded that same day. Then another wait began and i started sending emails and webforms also at some point contacted my mp again. Yesterday morning we got BVL but this morning around 3.20am EDT she go the PPR. At last exactly 1year and 7days becos the application was submitted 22nd July 2021. It has ended in praises. While waiting for her PPR i already booked airfrance for september just to buy time and also pay less flight fees even at that i paid pass 3k CAD |

Congratulations congratulations. Enjoy maple land. SoteriaMo: Passport request!
Backstory: My husband got a job in Canada. He was in US while I was in Nigeria. He submitted both of us application together under his GCKey.
Both applications submitted on January 6, 2022 Husbands application approved March 4, 2022. He didnt need medicals and his application was obviously faster cos of his location. We thought our applications will be treated from the same office but apparently mine was still transferred to Nairobi.
my SOWP timeline: Application submitted: January 6th, 2022 Biometrics: January 7th, 2022 Biometrics updated: January 10th, 2022 Medical requested: March 5th, 2022 Medical passed: March 26th, 2022. BVL: July 25th, 2022 PPR: July 27th, 2022.
The silence on my appplication was killing me literally so around 15th June I started sending mails and webforms to Nairobi. I did it every single day for like 3 weeks. I wrote emotional notes and attached my husbands employment letter and pay stubs. After 2 weeks, they started responding saying they were working on it. I guess i was lucky. I got about 5 or 6 response. like 2 were generic. others told me where my file was and that they are working on it blahblah. I think the webform got more responses than the emails.
After the responses, I stopped sending mails cos they claimed that they wont expedite anyway so i just kept praying and trusting God. BVL came and I was wondering what was going on again, until today! Glory to God.
In my case tho, I didnt need to submit my statement of account. we only used my husbands canadian employment offer letter. Maybe that covered. Honestly, I was worried but God came through.
Indeed, God is good.
I pray for speed for everyone waiting. |

folla: @Jonaholorun
My suggestion to you is to search for reasonable rates on wakanow.com and thereafter purchase the tickets directly from the airline.
If you can't go to the office of the airline, find out if you can purchase their tickets online. Ok thanks. The reservation on wakanow is expensive. I just want to reserve, not to fully pay for some time. |

skull4eva: On your wife sowp and daughters VV u need ur daughters LOI because she wont be allowed to enter without that. Now on ur study permit i will advice u focus on the extension more keenly infact i believe ur spouse should get less than 1month sowp too and at dat u need to keep mailing IRCC explaining ur situation and seeking for quick help on the LOI thing so that ur spouse and daughter can come in asap. It is easier and faster to renew sowp in canada than to reapply from nigeria. My 2cents The question relates exactly to mine. Please sir is it advisable to apply separately since the sp would soon expire or allow sowp to enter before applying. Because if the sp apply separately i hope that doesn't give the sowp issues at poe |

mymzo48: PPR Alert!!!!! ALHAMDULILHHH! The Journey started on the 5th of October 2021, when I put in an SOWP application for my wife and the wait started. At fist it took more than 24 hours to get a fingerprint request form IRCC it was then I knew I was in for a long wait. We did upfront medical which was not even opened or even acknowledged until January 10th, 2022. Before the medical was updated to passed, I was furious that nothing was happening on my wife’s application, so I reached out to the MP of my province. This I think was the best thing I did. The MP was very helpful, and it was not until he reached out to them before the medical was updated to passed. Apparently, he called and told me that they had been working on my application just that they weren’t updating on my wife’s GC key portal. After another two months -March I reached out to the MP again and this was when he came back to tell me that Eligibility review has started which I did not get an update again. At this point I was a bit relieved that after this eligibility then nothing left. Waiting was killing but being optimistic was relieving. Then I spoke to a friend turned brother which I met on this platform we spoke and encouraged each other. He advised I kept disturbing them with emails and webform which I obliged. At the end of May I reached out to the MP to make inquiry on my behalf which he did and told me that the eligibility was passed. It was at this moment that I increased the frequency of my email to Abuja and Nairobi as well as telling my wife to do the same thing. On June 30 they dropped correspondence letter without PPR. I started firing them with email and webform. On July 7 my wife received the PPR.
To everyone here I say a big thank you and to friends expecting PPR may the good lord grant your heart desires soonest. If there is any specific question, please reach out. Docx submitted SOP CAC certificate Husband study permit Husband scholarship letter form both university and Lab Marriage certificate Birth certificate Husband bank statement Wife's bank statement Congratulations to your family. Happy for you |

Congratulations to you and the family folla: WHAT GOD CANNOT DO, DOES NOT EXIST!
God has shown mercy to me and my children.
My SOWP and my 3 children's Study Visa applications have been approved by IRCC.
1st Applications
Our 1st applications made in June 2021 were all refused on 25th September 2021. The main concern of the VO, as revealed in the GCMS note, was that my wife, who is a Masters student in BC, filled on her application form that her family would not accompany her to Canada. The VO questioned the truthfulness of my wife's statement in her application, when we now applied for visas while she was still in Nigeria. VO said other things which we considered circumstantial.
I came on this platform then to seek for advice and I really obtained valuable advice from members. What did we do?
2nd Applications
We filed another application on 8th November 2021 with my wife explaining the reasons for her change in plan. We filed additional documents showing strong home ties by exhibition of pictures of our parents, Affidavits of birth of our parents and affidavit of births of my siblings. I also exhibited some share certificates, together with landed property. I showed rent receipts issued to our tenants.
Along the line, my wife wrote her MP sometime in February 2022 seeking for a status update on our applications. The response was that criminality check was passed and nothing more. Our upfront medicals expired in April 2022, but I refused to go for any more upfront medicals. If they are ready, they will contact us. I was drained, both emotionally and psychologically, noting that the journey began in June 2021. I only held on to God, as a lot was at stake.
There was a time I read an email IRCC had sent to someone here requesting for updated transcripts of his student spouse. I took the initiative by sending my wife's updated transcripts sometime in late April 2022. I have a feeling this had a positive impact on our applications.
Boom, medical request showed for my children and I on 16th May 2022. We quickly sent an email to QLife who gave us an appointment in about 9 days later. Medicals were updated to "pass" for my children on 7th June, while they got their PPR on 9th June. For me, my medical was updated to "pass" on 8th June, while my PPR only came today 29th June.
In between my children's PPR and today I sent their passports to Abuja last week Monday and we received the stamped passports yesterday, Tuesday. I almost sent another webform today planning to exhibit my children's visas and seeking a quick response on my application. By 9am today, 2 "donotreply" emails had come into my inbox.
My wife travelled to BC since September 2021, leaving me with 3 active boys, while IRCC kept playing the delay game. Thank God it has ended well.
I wish to say a big thank you to members on this forum who were responsive to my questions at the relevant times. Really appreciate.
To everyone still waiting, hang on there. It's not over until you have won. You can't afford to give up. Keep praying and sending the webforms, the golden emails will surface shortly.
Thank you All! |
