Abi o.. All thanks to God and the heroes here  VEIL1234: @ Markab, you are very good at this home tie thing o!I see have to keep thanking God over again because I didn't do justice to it in my sop at all. I was concentrating on my work experience and giving reasons why I would be valuable in the Canadian economy.
For this particular application, I honestly think the VO was a bit too strict. We have seen approvals here without all this plenty story. |

Well so sorry once again for the delay. I will try to advise with my little knowledge on OWP The VO has made your application simpler and easier. 1. It's true that Vfs does not accept pictures you could done things differently especially by printing those pictures on A4 and give it nice captions like I did for my wife when she applied. Attach like 4-5 strategic pictures of your wedding showing large attendance. 2. Travel history is not a major reason for refusal and can be cleared once you convince the VO on your proof of relationship and home ties. 3. I think the best way to tackle home tie is by writing a convincing SOP explaining your executable plans after your spouse's study. You can also include personal assets like car, pension statement, and landed property documents. In addition, you can explain a very important role you play in the family that you feel is convincing enough which could trigger your return as you would not want the vacuum you're leaving behind be left open for a long time. 4. You can apply anytime you're convinced that you properly addressed the VO's concern. Wish you well in your next application. Thank you adedoyen: Hello everyone, got my notes few days ago. The VO stated that we didn't put wedding photos to support my application that it was only marriage certificate, SOP and letter from my spouse. Then no evidence of previous travels which could demonstrate a history of having travelled and returned, limited ties to Nigeria . On balance, VO is not satisfied that ties to Nigeria are sufficient to ensure departure from Canada. I actually included the wedding photos and wedding IV but they were removed at VFS Please I need help on how to tackle all these and I wantto know how soon I can reapply. Thanks in advance |

Egypt Air allows 23kg each for the two checked bags although they can allow you go with 24kg each but anything above that would need to be reduced. I ask about paying for the difference, they seemed not interested, but told me any additional bag is $180. You can also carry a backpack and a lady's handbag as "carry on" Edilanco: Please what is the standard weight for luaggages?... And if it exceeds the specified weight shey all they will do is ask u to pay for excess luggage? Abi will they ask u to drop them? For Egypt Air |

Please note that I had travelled to Canada early this year for vacation with my child (Got 5 years TV validity).

Amen thanks madam VEIL1234: Thanks Markab for this info. @BE811APP remember I was a bit confused about this point too, cos my 3 year old son was given a visitor's visa and his sister who is 6 study permit.

Hi, 1. I don't understand why you applied for change in Name even though its not mendatory at all. Anyway, as long as you dont have changed name mentioned anywhere on docs, you dont need to declare it proactively, neither you need to change it in passport right now and apply for new passport. 2. Regardless of age, you need a travel document/passport even for one day old child. So definitely you will need passport for your baby. 3 yes, you will apply for a visitors visa (more than six months) for your daughter separately. That visitors, when accompanied with a valid student visa/work visa of parents can let her attend any eligible school for free of cost. You wont need any study permit to get her education till she is 12. 4. Passport and birth certificate is fine, dont need any additional doc Source: Canada visa group. wealth360: Despite the fact that this thread is dry, I trust informations coming from experience present and past applicants. My questions goes like this: 1. My wife has done her change of names and newspaper publication that every other documents that carries her previous names remain valid as one person. But we have not done any change on her passport because her present passport expires in 2020. Can she apply with the passport like that?.
2. My daughter will be 1year 3months at the time of application, does she require a passport too at that age?
3. Concerning the above no 2 question, will my wife apply for TRV for our daughter separately? 4. If the above no3 question is YES, are we going to back it up with any document apart from her birth certificate?
Thanks awaiting positive responses.

I will try my best though I'm not really composed now. She flew EgyptAir and it was a nice experience generally. the check luggage weighed more than the allowable 23kg and we were asked to reduce the content, we did until it weighed around 24kg each before they were checked in. She was questioned about her intention (eye service), she brought out her admission letter after which was registered and fully checked in. They tried though after tipping them, my wife came to hug me and we all waved her good bye. Couldn't believe tears rolling down my cheeks.  It was stress free though. Those guys can beg for money.  Spent almost 7k before I got pissed by their Nigerianismic show of shame. All well and good and thanks to everyone for their contributions towards the success of my wife's trv Ps: the departure lounge was virtually empty this afternoon. Dunno why CanadianNurse: Awwwwwn

I will answer you to best of my knowledge. YES, you can apply as an accompanying spouse but you have to demonstrate having strong ties back home and justify why you decide to follow him convincingly. This can be explained in your letter to the visa officer. You guys must also demonstrate a very strong financial strength to support your application. I know of someone going for PhD that got approved with his wife and children and in addition to the funding he received, he had a closing balance of 10 million in his account. Alternatively, I would advice you let your hubby get his visa and once he's enrolled, you can apply to join him on open work permit, your chance of approval is very high with this method, I have not seen any spouse of a PhD student denied by going through this method Cc: BE811APP et all hotD: pls is it possible for me and hubby to apply at the same time for the work permit...he wld be going for his phd in newfoundedland,can't i just apply for the work permit along side his study permit or he has to go there first and resume as a student. Thank you |
