Yes it’s possible. When I was sent the passport request letter my families passports were with another embassy so I knew we wouldn’t meet the deadline. I sent a web form explaining this and kindly asking for an extension. Although they didn’t respond. When we got our passports back from the embassy and the deadline had passed I still sent our passports and documents for VFS. I noticed a week had passed and I hadn’t heard anything so I decided to email the vfs office. That was when I was told they hadn’t been able to work on our passports because our request letters were expired. They asked if I had proof that I had requested for an extension so I sent them a screenshot of the webform. Shortly after that I started getting updates from VFS and within a week passports were returned. Hope this helps.

Had your passport request letter expired before you sent your passports to vfs? This happened to me. I had to call and email and was told this was the reason for the delay. I was able to show proof that I had asked for an extension after which they proceeded. A week later passports were returned and visa issued. I would suggest calling or emailing the vfs office you sent your passports to for an update.

no, my passport request letter hasn't expired. And just so that I can learn, is it possible to ask for extension when it does? How did you do it? Thank you for your response

Na their way. Those guys nearly gave me a high BP. The same thing happened to me. Mine nearly took a week. I had to write them two mails before they send the tracking ID. I suggest you do same.

SLOVFO:
Hello good people, does anyone have an idea on how I could get a driver's license extract? Someone needs it before traveling to Canada.

Emmafe:
You’ll get mails from vfs, just wait.

I am a bit free today and why not assist when one can?

should I add a part of the 20k (like 3k) that will be sufficient for that particular dependent

Yes, put 3k on that section of dependent and not the whole funds, but your POF should show all.

OkukuOne:
I may have not understood your last question. However, let me say it this way.

Since you are applying for SOWP for your spouse and your kids, kindly show POF that will cover 3 of them. The minimum of (4k +6k). Also, I will advise you to have money for miscellaneous - another 3-4k, and tickets to and fro for all the family members.

The said money above is different from yours. I do not know your status. if you have already travelled or planning to travel shortly.

1. If you have travelled, then it's a bit easier, because the $10k for your upkeep for a year may not be considered any longer. But I will advise you to show POF that is way above the minimum. Too much POF is also not bad.

2. If you haven't then, you have to make provisions for your upkeep, tuition and spouse, and kids.

In all, try to always meet the minimum req'ment and have a little surplus

Lastly, the above is my own analogy, the gurus in the house can help with more info if I missed any.


Good luck!

Duration of Study: Same duration as the parent who is the student.

Tuition and Funds Available: $0CAD it is usually free, but you need to show the minimum amount of every dependent. 1st dependent is $4,000CAD, while others are $3,000CAD.

The Parent Letter of Acceptance

How old is the child?

Children must be 6yrs and above before they are admissible in Canada. If the child is less than 6yrs, then you have to apply for Visit Visa. However, if more than 6yrs, then you have to use your school details for the child as well.

Newww1:
Yes you can make an application on same GCkey

Newww1:
No need to apply for visa separate. Just do SOWP safe to say its a work permit that comes with a visa.
