PPR, baby!!!!

Oh, wow. What a ride.

Applied for SOWP for my wife and VV for my 2 kids on Nov 17, 2021.

Then applied for VV on the new portal for all three on Dec 30, 2021.

Received GCMS notes 2 days ago, mentioning home ties. Then today, messages about both applications appeared in wifey's inbox. When I saw them, my heart sank. I felt, this is it. E don finish.

I opened the VV on the new portal first. It said "withdrawn because a visa has been issued for your SOWP". It's still like a dream! In short, PPR for SOWP on the old portal (VV for kids withdrawn) and PPR for kids on the new portal.

I have to mention @Lianna2020 for all her help and support. You're absolutely awesome!!!

To anyone still anticipating, please don't lose hope.

Cheers!!!

Congratulations to your family, this testimony will go around in Jesus name

Thanks, skull4eva.

SOWP:
* Kids' passports and birth certs
* Spouse's degree certificates
* Spouse's home ties (family and business)
* Upfront medicals (for all 3)
* POF (business acct, personal acct, my GIC, student acct statement)
* Proof of relationship (wedding pictures, wedding certificate)
* My docs (letter of authorization, student ID, enrolment letter, SIN, study permit
* Spouse's IELTS (was available, so why not)
* Spouse's police cert
* Spouse's SOP
* Covid 19 vaccination

VV:
Basically the same as SOWP, but the SOP was phrased differently and travel consent for the kids.

Please, who knows the procedure for sending passports for a parent and 2 kids to Abuja?

Congrats jonosas,Did u indicate ur family as non accompanying in your original SP application and if yes,how did u specifically address change of intention

Foxs:


Hello. Please can you explain how you applied for study permit extension. Thank you

Hello. Same process with applying for a fresh visa. Just few documents, same site, proof of funds, enrollment/co-work letter from school, letter of intent and 150 cad dollars.

PrinceAdeAde:


Congrats jonosas,Did u indicate ur family as non accompanying in your original SP application and if yes,how did u specifically address change of intention

Yes, I indicated my family as non-accompanying during SP. During SOWP and VV, situation had changed; my wife and kids were missing me.

Good morning everyone, hope everyone is doing great. Please I need help.
Please who can assist me to write a letter of explanation, I want to submit a web form. I applied in July/2021 for SOWP but still no update, eligibility haven’t started and also What hospital or clinic can I do upfront medicals in Abuja ?
I’m a novice in this, thanks for ur help �

Please what discipline did your wife study? Someone was of the opinion that they attend to those that indicates medical line as their field of job fast, I applied Nov 15 2021 but eligibility hasn't yet started.

Yes today i finally confirmed that sowp whether stand alone or with study permit or with visit visa is only issued if the degree of the sowp applicant fall under the profession termed essential. Although most times when a study permit is attached to it the application is treated faster. Aside this i also realised that those of us that has sowp application active with IRCC and still apply for VV with the aim to fast track sometimes get deniel the VV this is because u need to convince the VO that when the VV elaspses even while ur sowp application is still in process you will leave canada at the end of your stay. Based on this the VO sometimes deniel such VV with just flimsy excuses of mainly hometies because they want somerhing very tangible enough to bring back such individual. So getting Sowp is basically subject to essential job request little wonder why the medical field has a better approval rate. With these my findings today am even scared the more to apply for visit visa.

@ jonosas, congrats!!!

1. What did u use as home ties for your VV application.

2. Is it advisable to apply for VV or SOWP for a spouse? At this rate which do u think gets a better success rate?

3. Apart from medical line how can one know if his or her spouse is on the essential job listings.

4. Is it advisable to apply immediately the SP applicant travel or wait for a full semester? In ur case what did u do?

Does the bolded in any way imply that an international student whose spouse is not a graduate cannot apply for SOWP?

I mean, when answering the questionnaire, if one says NO to the question asking if you have any post-secondary education outside Canada, will the outcome be ineligible at the end of the questionnaire?

My brother I cant say emphatically but from what my MP office told me today as a response on their 6th call to IRCC on my spouse application i think it is Yes as at now becos of the present situation. See SOWP is a work permit visa on its own it is just attached to the spouse of an international student or spouse of a PR or citizen. Now with the limited hands on deck as a result of covid and the ukraine war resultant effects they are only priotizing profession that is termed essential for now so that is why sowp application process is taking like forever. Infact the 37weeks on their portal is not followed from all indications, my spouse application will be 36weeks by tuesday and as at today nothing on eligibility has been done

What thing I have come to observe about Canadian Visa application is the level of unpredictability. I tell you, two applications with same condition of request submitted will get different outcome.

For this COVID effect period, I agree with you but i think it can also be according to each province occupations in demand and not limited to medical line professions

This is what the Canadian House Committee on Citizenship and Immigration just discussed. Differential in outcome of the IRCC decisions. They even make reference to the high refusal rate in Africa, citing Nigeria as an example

Yeah but the most required these days is health care worker and social worker. IT is also in demand but sincerely we cant beat most canadians and chinese to coding.

Congratulations to our new ppr recipients!!!
Please I need your suggestion or advise. I applied for sowp for spouse and visit visa for kids in Feb 2021 and followed up with visit visa fir everyone on the new portal in October 2021. Apart from medical update for the VV application, we have not heard anything from IRCC. We are still on background check till date. I will be finishing school in April and study permit will be expiring December 2022. I want to know if it is advisable to withdraw the VV and apply again. Apart from the course that i graduate from (from a DLI school)I have also gotten a PSW certification on the side. Please what do i do at this point?

I think all you can do is
1. Keep praying
2. Contact your mp to help followup
3. Order gcms notes to know whatsup
4. Keep mailing and sending webforms
Asides these things I dont think there is any other thing u can do.

Please i also have a question when u applied for VV as a family on the new portal how much did u pay. Because am on their portal now and all i see is 100 cad for my spouse and 2kids

I just got my GCMS notes for the reason of refusal for my hubby's VV and SOWP application. the reason for his refusal on the gcms note is
"Nigerian national who is a probationary resident in Singapore is seeking TRV to join spouse, Applicant also has an OPEN WORK PERMIT application in progress in Nairobi and there is no reason for the applicant to join spouse.
Weighing the factors in this application. I am not satisfied that the applicant will depart Canada at the end of the period authorized for their stay. For the reason above, I have refused this application"
VV was processed in Singapore since my spouse works there, and SOWP is still in progress, processed in Nairobi since April 2021.

The reason for VV and also for SOWP was family reunification since I'm alone here with an 11-month-old and I need some physical support.
Though my study permit was less than 3 months at the time I applied for VV, since I didn't receive an update from IRCC for my spouse's SOWP that was applied back in April 2021.

I want to ask what do you think I should do? I applied for a study permit extension in February 2022, which is currently in progress and my spouse sent a web form with my new LOA and explained I have submitted a study permit extension. Will the refusal from the VV affect my spouse's OWP?

1. When did your spouse apply for this VV?
2. When you initially applied did you use t
Your spouse as home ties?
3. What is your spouse profession?
Like i wrote some days ago this days the VOs look for flimsy reasons to deny VV for spouses that has SOWP application because they think sposues would need something more tangible to want to take them back home when VV expires even when SOWP application is stil in progress. Already your spouse is not in nigeria that make the VO assume that you and your spouse has the tendency not to return at the end of ur stay, more so your application for vv also looked desperate because ur study permit was almost expiring, finally the reasons you gave were no convincing to the VO that was why he termed them for no reason rewrite your SOP to give more convincing reasons why he must come to spend some time with tangible evidences that he will leave after the visit, submit ur extended study permit, in ur sop dwell more on the child care and probably how it is affecting you. Another thing of concern is hope your hubbys stay in singapore is genuie, legitimate and not short term? I believe from my little experience that the VV decision should not affect the decision for sowp but in the main time reapply for the vv as sowp is taking forever now except your spouse job is a profession that is termed esaential

Hi skull4eva
1. When did your spouse apply for this VV? he applied in Dec 2021 got rejected on 1st of Feb 2022
2. When you initially applied did you use your spouse as home ties? He was one of my home ties, but I focused more on my job and my parent's investments and properties.
3. What is your spouse's profession? He manages our real estate business in Singapore while I'm away for my study. He has more ties in Nigeria compared to Singapore that's why his SOWP was submitted in Nigeria.

His visa is genuine, I'm Singaporean so he holds a spousal resident permit which is probational. for some reason, IDK Nigeria passport holders are given a probational spousal resident permit. I'm just surprised they mentioned "No Reason" because he wrote his SOP, I also wrote an invitation letter expressing my difficulties as a student and as a mother with a baby during covid, I also attached a letter from a doctor who explained my situation when i and my baby got covid and no one to assist us. It's ok to state that my visa is less than 3 months since it will expire in April but stating "No reason" is quite surprising. Thank you skull4eva for your input on this. I will wait for my extension to be approved then I wonder if he should reapply using Nigeria as residence or Singapore?

The point is they tend to deny based on flimsy excuses for a reason best known to them. He should reapply from singapore add more home ties both to singapore and nigeria just to prove he will go back. Because he has already applied for sowp that gives the VO the notion that he wants to relocate to canada and stay so they see is application for vv as a short cut to come in and when that expires he might not wanna go back. Let him write an LOE to hammer more on the real estate business and more reasons why he will leave after is visit and the childs situation and ur need for assistance then attach you extended study permit i believe that should fly. Wait for other suggestions from the gurus in the house
