Since this was not possible in my case, I saved a pdf of the website page where IRCC declared that kids of international students do not need LOA. I did the same for a page from the Quebec province website were this was also stated. I then highlighted the exact sentences in yellow and merged. It is possible to write a short LOE with few sentences and attach with the IRCC page printout then upload.


Clients Information for Visitor visa applicant - 2 year old
I couldn't find a copy of the client information document for my son who got visitor visa. But I remember any other documents that was excess from their mum's profile went here along with his own specific things -- not sure exactly what these were again. Most documents from my own study visa application showing home ties - properties, assets, business registration, lease in Montreal, resume for the mum - could have been attached elsewhere but am not sure - were all attached here.

Client Information for the kids applying for study permit
NIN Slip/Cards
Testimonials from earlier schools graduated - nursery/primary
Letter of introduction and studentship confirmation from current school in Nigeria - to whom it may concern
Academic transcripts - old and current studies
Email records and reply with local school board about admission stating - "You will only receive the certificate of eligibility once you have submitted all your documents at our office." - which included the kids' visa and study permit.
Other excess documents that was too large to add to the mother's client info document were merged here including the following;
Rent agreement and official receipts of past 5 years of rent payment
Scan copies of family HMO ID and health coverage cards on a single page
Title document, dock receipt and other transaction documents showing purchase of a Tokunbo car and delivered to port in the US to Lagos

Awas:
please are we saying that if you have an application on the old site you can still fill another on the new site

sam4774:
the gist of the matter is that if you applied before 7th of september re-apply. if it was after 7th of september and you qualify for this new program (re-uniting with family members in canada) fill the exemption webform and attach all supporting pdf. they will consider it and then prioritise that application that was filed after 7th of september within 14-30 business days

Hello everyone,
Is it possible to still receive mails from IRCC even after one’s application has long been canceled?
Is it also possible to not be notified that one’s application has been canceled?

nochyks87:
Please for those that have applied using this new portal, do children under 5 years require IRCC written authorization?

sam4774:
apologies to anybody in my dm's about this visitor visa/spousal open work permit thing. i am extremely busy and not in Naija so time difference is also a factor, i will take pains to properly explain right now and also to encourage discussions on the thread so more people have knowledge and for the growth of this thread as too many discussions have started going offline.

I AM NOT A GURU

spousal open work permit or any work permit applied to Canada from Nigeria takes 29 weeks according to IRCC and can take even more time. visitor visa re-uniting a direct family member that is either a permanent resident or temporary resident (student/worker) decision takes between 14-30 business days.
if you had a visitor visa application before september 7th you will have to reapply and raise a webform.

the instructions are here--https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/visitors/visa.html#existing


and the webform that should be raised after making the new visitor visa application for them to expedite your visitor visa and treat it faster is here --https://secure.cic.gc.ca/ClientContact/en/Crisis


spousal open work permit is a temporary class resident application and visitor visa is thesame i very much doubt that counts as dual intent if you have both of them running at thesame time. this is my personal opinion i am not a VO, but an application that takes maximum 30 days as opposed to an application that can take up to 8 months or more it is pretty obvious which one is more reasonable.

in[b] canada a sowp can be applied for on arrival or when settled in canada[/b].

please follow the links for clearer understanding.

peace

Kindly re·phrase or explain more regarding your question.
1. It should be a technical glitch, I got a "We're still working on your application." notification from IRCC, while others whose applications have been approved long ago got the same email notification from IRCC.
2. Somethings IRCC doesn't notify you with updates on your application. For application cancellation they should notify and if they don't log into your gckey for further information.

sam4774:
hello,
I am not seeing any bolded text. however 4 kids and a wife if its visitor you are asking yes you can. if its SOWP and and visitor record/study permit for kids you also can but you will have to prove financials of 10k +4k+3k per child thats 26k CAD atleast to prove that will fly. but it is very doable if money is there.

nairaland1981:
Thanks Sam

26k per child is huge ooo. That's means 104k for the 4 kids.

I have applied for fall 2022 admission. I hope to get visa and move them as soon as i settled

sam4774:
no ooo i said 26k total! lol if it was that much indians and nigerians wont be plenty in Canada. according to IRCC it is 10k CAD plus 4k plus a significant other and then 3k per child. thats how the figure came about, all this is excluding flight, miscellaneous and school tuition

nairaland1981:
Thank you Sam...its doable then. Please pray for me to get the visa.

I really appreciate your response.

Hi everyone, I recently came into Canada on a student visa and would like to apply for my family to join me.
Based on the current trend, applying for a visitors permit seems faster than applying for a sowp. Please what's the expected proof of funds to apply for visitors visa for my husband and 2 kids and can I also apply through the new link?
