Yeeeeh! After 5months 4days…OPR for hubby SOWP!!

To think my study permit expires this month!
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by lizzygurl: 10:13pm On Jul 04, 2022
Congrats

My husband and I applied for study permit about the same time, I got an approval (1yr graduate study at centennial) while he got a refusal. I am set to resume by sep 2022. He was denied because the VO was not satisfied he will leave Canada based on personal asset and financial status, purpose of visit, current employment situation and travel history.

Please advise on the best route for his application (spouse or visit)?
How soon can I apply for him?
Some people said I can't invite him because I am studying in a college. How true is this please?

We have requested for gcms note, but we are thinking of what we can be putting in place before we get the gcms note. Please advise

Thank you

Madam you already have a smoking gun so the ball is now in ur court. Since your study permit has been approved your best bet is sowp. Let me tell you why, becos your hubby has applied for study permit before the Vo might see a visit visa as been submitted out of desperation so my suggestion of SOWP. Now if i were you i would suggest u apply nigeria before you go so it starts counting. Once you are an internayional student whether college or university you can invite your spouse but how you go about it determines the success of the whole process. I applied while i was still in nigeria like 2weeks before finally i travelled last year july. And as we speak my kids application has been approved and my spouse got a medical request becos her initial medical expired on june 22 still hoping for her approval though but it looks good. When you apply u can add the remaining documents when u arrive Canada via webform i mean study permit and SIN.

Please is this fee all the way from Nigeria airport to your final destination? Or did you pay any other fee if it's a different airline from the port of entry to the final destination?
Because the ET airline stops at Toronto and the connecting flight to the destination is Aircanada.
Will aircanada charge for any additional luggage?

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by afrobrown2000: 4:35am On Jul 05, 2022
it all depends on the airline i think ....some connecting flights that uses Air Canada to final destinations are have issues on faring prices for extra luggages ....As for me am thinking of sea shipping most of my extras and travel with allowed luggage.....heard it takes about 2weeks
Make concrete upfront information to avoid issues on travel day....

Submitting 3months statement might not work oo why not make it the least of 4months. Reasons for him to come join you should be emotional showing u need him to settledown and to help u cope emotionally. If you have kids u can come from the angle that u might not be completely focus knowing fully well your kids are away.
Talk about the bond u share and all the things u guys do together.
Your hometies also matters alot in making this happen. He must also provide a very strong home tie

Good morning house

Please do I need to send the e-medical slip given to my family at qlife to ircc before their medicals can be updated?

They did their medicals last week Thursday but it's yet to be updated by IRCC
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by jogojogo: 9:11am On Jul 06, 2022
Even if you don't send the e-medical document, the outcome of the medical assessment will still be updated but I will advise, they send the e-medical. I sent mine after 24 hours hours and it was uploaded 13 days after I did the test

My advice is that u call qlife and plead with then to send the result on time because even if u send the e-medical form no VO will update your profile except when the hospital results arrive. There are cases where one might need to do extra medical due to one situation or the other and as a result no VO will base his approval on just you doing the medical exam. Anyway that is why it is called examination because they are concerned about the results. So the medical will not be updated until IRCC receives the doctors report.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by atoke2021: 3:19pm On Jul 06, 2022
Hello all,
I have an issue and I would appreciate some advice.
My husband got his visa approved June 22nd. Unfortunately we had just submitted his visa to Sweden on June 17th for us to go for a vacation. So once we got Canadian visa approval, we requested withdrawal of Sweden visa application. While they have withdrawn it, it is taking some time to get the passport sent back from their embassy (they do all Nigerian applications from Nairobi). When we reached out, Sweden embassy said they had sent the passport back to VFS Lagos on 30th of June. But till now it has not gotten to VFS. We are getting scared because the deadline to submit passport for Canada is 30 days which is fast approaching. If we don’t get the passport Back by next week, we are in a bind. As you know there is holiday next week so we also wonder how that will affect things. I was thinking I should email Canada Nairobi and beg for an extension but as we know they don’t respond to their emails until 30 days. How do I go about this?

Would appreciate any help that can be given.

Thank you.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by lizzygurl: 3:29pm On Jul 06, 2022
