wahala never too much like this? My hubby received this mail today.

Good day,



Please note that your medicals are set to expire on 2022/11/23, therefore you are required to arrive in Canada before this date.



If you are unable to travel before this date, you will be required to undergo a new medical examination.



Please advise us by replying to this email.

When we are looking at Nov ending. People that have experienced this before, what is your advice? Please

Still waiting for my kids visit visa, thank you nairaland....kindly assist me with details on how to send my passport for stamping

People, is there anything one can do to IRCC other than send mails and webforms? This delay is getting too much. I am beginning to feel depressed.

Only God can help. No response to mail or webform. The only consolation is that they have started working on vv and sowp

Massive Congratulations to you, mine is coming soon.

LadyBlaq:
God has done it for my husband, He is never late, His time is perfect and it is the best!!!!

Came to Canada as a student on the 9th of September, 2021.
I put in my hubby's Visitor's visa application on December 5th, when the rave of Visitor visa approval was high, few of my colleagues that put in theirs got theirs approved and mine was refused sometime in March 2022. Refusal reason is home ties and invalid reason for a visit.

I quickly submitted another Visitor's Visa on 5th of April, 2022 as my study permit was going to expire soon. Though I later got extension for Dec, 31st 2022.

I have been waiting for a response even up till now, nothing came. The GCM notes I requested showed nothing tangible.

A friend of mine convinced me to put in SOWP after hers got approved in less than a month. I finally did on the 16th of September.

I was hoping they'd cancel the visitors visa but nothing happened. I was so frustrated so I sent them a mail asking them if we did anything wrong to them that we don't know about

Before that, I erroneously omitted one file during the application so i sent it via webform. I got a message asking for complete details regarding the file and i provided it.
Came back from work today and about to go take a hot bathe when i decided to check his mail. I saw application updated. I rushed to his page and saw medicals updated and I gave a very huge hiss not knowing something else was there. I lazily scrolled down (I always do this before logging off everyday), and I saw application was approved!!!!!

God is never late!!!!! We are grateful and the testimony will get to everybody. Just pray for the perseverance and patience though because reading the mail i sent to IRRC now, it was very polite but it was a frustrating mail with a lirril bit of werey and guilt tripping

My sowp is 9weeks, no eligibility, no new update. I have sent mails and webform with hope of getting to act..Person we apply same day already got ppr...what can one do...

We would like to reply the mail by telling them we will redo the medicals. However, we are choosing 21st of Nov for the medicals at IOM Lagos and we are booking our his flight for 2nd week of Dec.
Here is my question please, after the medicals is done, does it need to by updated on his page before he travels or can he travel without minding if it has been updated on his page? Also, if it needs to be updated, how long does it take?

Abeg my people, help me with this abeg

Una nor get any wahala at all.. let him redo d medicals, update it and travel with it

Congratulations once again.
Redoing medical isnt a problem the problem is getting a date to do it fast. In my honest opinion i would have prefered he travels before that date i mean arrive canada before that date becos with election coming in Nigeria nothing is certain i assure you. And nigerian system is very volatile now and high tension everywhere. Book a flight and come in a week before or somedays before becos even IOM and qlife the experience my wife had with them even with medical request from IRCC wasnt small. So for those two reasons i will advise he come in it is better. Saves lots of stress and naija fighting/paraing skills at both hospitals except he wants to do it in abuja though.

Good evening people, I am quite new here although I have been following this page as a guest. Please, I need advice from the house. I am currently in the express entry pool with an active profile and I want to apply for spousal open work permit and study visas for children as my spouse in currently in Canada studying. I was told we can't use the new portal but I have an active profile under the old portal. Do I need to create another profile under the old portal when applying for my SOWP or I will use my existing profile which I used for the express entry profile to apply. Thank you

Indians are getting SOWP in One month but Nigerians are waiting for months...what's going on

You are correct, The Indians are getting SWOP in 1month even less than a month. I joined their group on Whatsapp. I must confess to you, It is every day PPR on the group.

On your old portal. Just click start a new application and follow the instruction to answer all the required questions about the application.

Thank you All.

UPDATE!!!
Before any reply came in here, I replied the mail that he will retake the medicals on 21st Nov as I got an appointment for that day at Lagos. I booked flight for 8th December. He needs to take care of important things so he can't travel earlier than 23rd November.

He also sent his Passport to the Visa office already in Lagos.

Meanwhile, we received a mail this morning telling us to disregard the PP request and to send his medicals to be updated and PP request sent again once he does his medicals.

He needs the passport to take his medicals so i sent a mail asking if his passport will be returned asap with no visa? Waiting for the reply.

will update as soon as i can. The passport request is still there, but the status has changed to 'we are process....', and they sent a medical request letter. Meanwhile, I will check to see if can see an earlier date for medicals but he needs the passport. I dont know what will happen.

I am updating this just in case anybody finds him/herself in similar situation.

What have we done wrong as a people to be treated unfairly like this?

Dear All, I got my study permit approval in August 2022 and I will be leaving for Canada in 3rd of December 2022. My question is Can I start the sowp application for my spouse before leaving for Canada? If yes, I would be glad if I could get the list of documents required for the application. I would be glad also if I could get response to my quest asap. Thank you all in anticipation.

Yes you can.

Good day Everyone. I’m about to submit SOWP for my wife and my newborn baby. Did anyone know if a month-old baby and a nursing mother will need medical? I’m worried about the X-ray for a breastfeeding mom. Anyone in my situation

She will do medicals and xray. The only exception for xray is pregnant women.

Hello house, can an ssce holder apply for sowp?

It is mainly for the spouses of international students studying in Canada. Are you one? Your educational achievement doesn't matter.

Let her submit her SOWP application and wait for medical request, that way she can buy time

She shouldn’t do upfront medicals…

However, If she opt for upfront medicals, breastfeeding and pregnant women have the option of sputum test…it’s a three day process and the result are studied in two months….

You can also call IOM to confirm if Nursing mother can do Sputum… Cos someone said just breastfeeding…just to be sure

Whatever you decide, don’t allow anyone to do X-ray on a breastfeeding mother with one month baby….

Have given you the options I know… All the best
