Probably had previous bio metrics and medical was requested before file was transferred to the Accra.

Mine is December 17, Bio March 30 and SA March 31st...Nothing since then. Still awaiting medicals.

For pregnant woman who applied for a spousal sponsorship and filled in the application form she is pregnant with her due date, who wishes to reunite with her husband b4 her baby is born, will her processing time be the same 12months?

Alright . thanks

Yes. Same processing time

Any update?

I hear the delays these days are madd.

Maydaygirl:


No update on mine yet. I learnt it takes about 2 months after submission to get an initial response from them.

Your feelings are valid, I pray for mine to be less than 12 months too.

Let's keep the trend alive, please guys.

Canada visa.com has a few very active spousal application threads.

joy2dworld4eva:
Thank God we now have spousal application thread. I've been all over nairaland searching for an appropriate thread that treats spousal application.
Our application was received on Thursday, September 16th, 2021 but we're yet to receive an acknowledgement mail. Does anyone know how long it takes to get an acknowledgement mail after package has been received ?

That's not a rejection, that's a return.

Go through the checklist very well.

I'd suggest getting a friend who is in Canada to help you go through your application folder (electronic).

iskilayodele:
My application got rejected. My wife mailed it to IRCC 4 weeks ago, and we received the application back from IRCC yesterday.
The reason behind the rejection was that the application was incomplete

Fellow Montrealer! Did you need a csq for your wife? Or are you moving?

OloriOfMontreal:
This thread doesn't appear to be active; please we need alumni Spousal sponsorship members to help answer some questions

Have you and your husband visited other countries before?

I was thinking that visiting different countries (Ghana, Morocco, Dubai, etc) would build a travel history before applying for UK, Canada, US visit visa?

ditha:
Hi Olori, My husband's visit visa got refused. I would like to chat with you to hear the steps you are taking for the reapplication

Canada has a backlog of 2 million applications.

And refugee applications have the priority. So in the last 8 - 12 months, Afghan and Ukrainian applications have taken precedence over everyone else.

iskilayodele:
Na wa for Canada o! Sponsorship in UK and the rest of Europe is an average of 3 months. I wonder why Canada is this wicked! In contrast, Express entry is 6 months while sponsorship is 12months, is Express entry far more important than spouse sponsorship!? Yet they will be saying they need immigrants but are making processing time a long frustrating one- what an irony

I must say, Nigeria's Bureaucracy is 100% efficient than that of Canada

Bienvenue au Canada!

If you can, try learn small french for these first few months o. E get why.

LANDING GIST!

I just landed in Canada few hours ago via Ethopian airlines from Lagos Airport.

I registered on arrive can, switch health, and printed all documents before arriving Lagos airport.
The guy who pushed my trolley attempted to scam me 7500 for yellow card, amongst other scams, but I remembered narrations on nairaland so I didn’t fall for any. I didn’t spend any money during the journey, but you can give tips as the Spirit leads.

After showing my passport, I passed my bags through the machine just near the Lagos airport door. I then went straight to Ethiopian airlines check-in counter admist the crazy queue. Those check-in staff are not smiling, be prepared with your documents make them nor delay you.
My bags didn’t exceed the limit & I suggest you go at least 4-5 hours before the flight just incase.

After about 4 more security checks, I boarded & arrived addis ababa some hours later where I was able to use the free airport wifi to update loved ones. Ethiopian airlines was ok, nothing bad to say. It was a long flight & having to seat for so long in such confined space does a number on the body.

Arrived Toronto Pearson quite early in the morning & I think that plays a role in how relaxed the airport & staff were as I wasn’t subjected to much questioning. Having all documents on hand in paper really helps. Make sure you’re organized & calm, your documents may speak for you & questions were minimal to none in my case. Don’t be afraid to ask polite questions when looking for directions or clarity.

Since I registered with switch health, I was directed to a shorter queue for arrival covid test which was the last stop before finally exiting the airport. I didn’t pay for the test & I wasn’t told anything about quarantine. I am fully vaccinated & wore my mask & sanitized at all times cos I don’t want a positive covid test result. It didn’t really snow much at the time I arrived, however it is cold here.

Nne, my application was received Nov 2021 and I got AOR April 2022.

Have patience.

joy2dworld4eva:
I am tired already. My application was received on Sept 16th and I got AOR on Nov 25th. Since then till now, I haven't received any update. Is there anything I can do?

Have you gotten an answer yet?

Has the application been updated since then?

adveert002:
Goodmorning guys
So it's 2 month and some days since I submitted my application and no AOR yet. So i decided to go to the portal to check on my application status, after I loggged in. The tab brought up what I applied for, submitted and the day I submitted but no application name, I also could not open the tab. Please is this a normal scenario or I should be worried

You guys just have used his email as the main email.

adveert002:
Goodmorning members
Congrats to those who got AOR
Please my husband got 2 mails yesterday with one mail having an attachment confirming his eligibility as a sponsor. Some other information included that my application will be forwarded to visa office in Accra for further process.

Me the main applicant did not get any mail ohh.
Is this the AOR we have been waiting for?

This time, will you be submitting in Korea?

Perhaps that will make it faster (except the Nigerian background check part).

You and your lawyer would need to draft a good letter of explanation.

lekanlaniyan:
Good day house, with reference to my situation. My lawyer is advising we resubmit another application because the embassy has not replied our email.

If the form needs physical signature (check the application guide), print, sign, and upload.

If it doesn't (those forms that generate barcode after you click "validate", save and upload.

For photos, take a photo against a white or cream background. You could use an app or website to cut the photo to the correct size.

Alternatively, go to photo studio (in Nigeria) or pharmacy (in Canada) to take and cut the photo.

slimboy007:
Hi guys, I'm new here. And currently in the process of applying.
So I'm a bit confused with the online application, esp the uploads part, Abeg how una take dey upload. Lastly, the PR photo how una take do am. �

Online.

Even if you apply by paper, you will still be asked to connect to the online platform.

Estherchi26:
