Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Stonehenge83: 8:40am On Jan 05, 2022
No rush bro, sent to Lagos already sef. Man needs to sort out so many things before leaving. Thanks for the advice still.
sam4774:
sending it to lagos vfs na like 2 weeks there about its not terrible, if you are not in a rush. plus flights are relativel;y cheaper towards ends of January, so not a bad idea to pick lagos vfs. but if you wanna be out of naija in 8 days or less then pick abuja but cant lie to you flights are bloody this period oo

Hello gurus in the house,

Please I need your advice. I saw a sponsored ads on Facebook about Canada Jobs. It also captioned that the company will sponsor the visa. I picked the number and chatted on WhatsApp. I was asked to send my CV to their email and after 24hours, I was mailed that my qualifications met their requirements. I was offered job as a Drill Engineer for the Oil and gas company. I was later sent Temporary Residence Visa Form to fill as well as Labour Market Impact Assessment(LMIA) form and Job agreement letter(that have in it that I will be responsible for the biometrics fee while other cost till arrival will be handled by the company). I filled and signed where necessary and returned them with my International passport as requested.

After few days, I was mailed to send the LMIA , Visa Form and my International passport to the lagos embassy of Canada through the email they gave (lagos@vfsglobal.g-c.online, so as to book my biometrics. I did as instructed and after few hours, got a mail from the said lagos embassy mail that my documents have been reviewed and i should proceed to pay for my biometrics through the payment link supplied so I can be given date for the biometrics. The biometrics fee is $116 CAD and processing fee is $91 CAD, bringing total to $207 CAD which amounted to #66,549.89 or pay same into one CEDI SIGNAL ZENITH BANK account and send receipt to them.

I am confused as to being real or not which is the reason I seek your genuine and honest advice.

Thanks. thanks

LANDING GIST

I booked Ethiopian Airlines for the 5th because it was the cheapest flight that i could buy the day before as i had just received my passport back.
the long and short of this is that all the documents i printed na only the Ethiopian airlines people in Lagos ask for am. they asked for enrollment letter, photocopy of my wife's study permit, my covid result and asked how long she had been there. the flights were all calm but the addis ababa to Toronto was long as Bleep.
the flight was
LAGOS
ADDIS ABABA
TORONTO
VANCOUVER.

all the stop-overs were 2 hours that later would come back to haunt me as in Toronto it is near impossible to go through the immigration screening, random covid test (it says random but all the people that came from Nigeria were picked "randomly" and baggage claim. and also you must check-in 45 minutes to a domestic flight so they had to rebook me for a later flight, depends on how you talk and who you meet you may end up paying for the flight change charge, me sha i didnt.

The flight to Vancouver that i was rebooked for got further delayed so i had time to go and change money and reply emails and do some work. if you use Ethiopian airlines try to book with the app and join their rewards it will make you eligible to ignore up to 5kg excess luggage when leaving from Nigeria. In Toronto they only asked for a copy of my wife’s study permit and told me to go, i wasted soooo much money printing all the rubbish in the world in Naija.

Anyways long and short, its less stressful for SOWP clearing immigration than students.

goodluck to those still awaiting and please keep disturbing them. God will bring your own day soon in Jesus name

Congratulations oooooo. This means they are attending to SOWP. I’m so glad to see people getting it. From the time lines of standalone that I am seeing. It just means I have to have 3 to 4 more months of patience. Hopefully it ends positively. Congrats once again.

Hello.
Your spouse will do the application for her and the kids on her own portal. I don’t know how to do the one with dependents so I suggest you read posts from the beginning of this year on this thread to get an idea of documents needed.

Good luck
