Good Day House, please, if the principal applicant is already in Canada and have enrolled for courses for a year. Does the spouse need to submit proof of fund too for the principal applicant or just for the spouse and the kids?

What visa did you get for UK? if you have the funds, I will advise your whole family goes to UK first then u can go to Canada from there while your family applies for a Canada visa and stay in UK till they get it. Just because things are too hard in Nigeria now.
chiefmc:
Please I need an honest opinion on estimated duratiion it takes to approve SOWP. I understand it won't be accurate. I am in a fix at the moment to choose between UK an Canada. Visa for whole family (wife and 3 kids) is almost ready for UK. For Canada, I applied alone and visa approved but I really need to make firm decision considering duration it will take them to get SOWP to join me in Canada

Hello, please why should one avoid Ghana must go bags for carrying some of your items? Especially the foodstuffs.
Please is Ghana must go bag not allowed as part of your laugage.
I weighed only my empty traveling box is about 9kg without putting any of my personal item.
I wanted to use Ghana must go bag as my 2nd laugage for packing my foodstuffs to 23kg so as to max the weight.

Please really need more answers on this Ghana must go bag ?

Just make sure you wrap it well well with that airport cello tape.
For fear of stealing from you, or at worst putting some illegal stuff in your bag without your consent.

PPR dropped for spouse, 13th July
Medical request for son's vv.

Spouse delayed sending passport hoping that son's PPR will drop immediately after the medical exam. Risky decision!

Finally, decided to overcome the village people and send the passport. We guess that's what triggered them to look at my son's own cos eligibility started the same day as the counterfoil on the sowp dropped.

And finally PPR for son dropped today. Just a day after.

Date submitted: 23rd January 2022.
Verdict: IRCC no try at all! But we are glad it has ended in praise.

What God cannot do, cannot and does not exist!!!

I have a question please,

Is it risky to travel with a work permit that will expire two weeks after arrival? Will the border officers raise eyebrow?

Permit expires 30th September. Flight booked for 15th September.

@skull4eva

Items to have handy with you as you travel include:
1. International passports
2. Travel tickets
3. Covid-19 Card for adults or negative test results (if not vaccinated). Children who accompany a vaccinated adult will not be required to quarantine.
4. Principal applicant's documents such as copy of international passport, copy of study/work visa, copy of study/work permit, admission/employment letter, enrolment letter, etc
5. Cash or print out of bank statement as proof of funds
6. ArriveCan print out. Must show a quarantine plan, notwithstanding
7. Letters of Introduction

Good luck.

Do I still need to show enough funds for tuition and living expenses for myself if I have paid 1st semester fees (it's a 1yr course). In my study permit application I used a sponsor and the sponsor promised to send me certain amount every quarter for my living

Hello,

Sorry for the late reply. Since your course is a year and you have paid first semester, assuming is only one semester left, you need to show that you have the balance of the semester tuition, living expenses and spouse living expenses.

Please house what and what documemts are needed for an SOWP holder with two kids on VV print along for travel to canada.

The main concern here is the spouse coming not even the kids. So have the following with you

1). Passport with stamp ( you and kids)
2). LOI(for you) no LoI for VV
3).Proof you're married to spouse in Canada ( all those docs submitted as proof of marriage)
4). Proof that those kids are you and spouse
5). ArriveCan
6). COVID-19 full vaccination/ test if not vaccinated
7). Your spouse should be on standby should Incase the call him or her for confirmation.

This from experience. Also let your spouse know the permit he/she is coming with. One indian beside me was asked what he came for, he said student open work permit. The Officer asked him are you sure, he said yes. He told him to wait beside and called another person.

Anyother thing I forgot, pls add

Hello,

Not really, but please kindly be ready to apply for extension as soon as spouse is touching down. That's if the don't issue him permit beyond the expiration of your permit or tht of his/her counterfoil.
