Hello guys, please I'm kind of confused and I need input!

I applied for my study permit on the new portal and I've been in Canada for about 3 months. Now, I want to apply for SOWP and visit visa for my wife and kid. Since I have to use the GCkey, who is best to open a GCkey account, me or my wife? What are the forms that must be submitted on the GCkey portal?
Thank you!

dchamps:

Thank you!

Either of you can open the GCkey, it doesn’t matter. The difference is that if you are the one opening the GCKey and filling in the application, you would need to fill the use of representative form. Also you can start the application to see all the required documentation. Most important for me will be your POF and SOP stating why you need them to come.

Thanks Profgordons and congratulations on your spouse's approval.

Profgordons:


You can mention so

Profgordons:

Profgordons:
It’s PPR!!!

Applied for Visit Visa alongside with my Spouse who was applying for Study Permit, and Visit Visa for our two Munchkins - May 15th 2022

My application was cancelled in June, IRCC requested I apply for SOWP instead and refunded the application fee - Submitted June 30th 2022

Spouse Study permit was approved August and she resumed September

Munchkins Visitor Visas were approved September 28th, I got medical request same day

PPR today, November 3rd, 2022

It’s been quite interesting and I’ll advise people always apply as a family on the old portal if they have the funds to support it!

Congratulations Sir!!!!

Never did

Please I think I have made a mistake in my husbands application, I did not submit any consent form and I did apply with my gckey account please how do I rectify this .

apeja2017:


Thank you for your feedback.
Pls is it possible for me to still use my sponsor for my wife and kid? However my wife did not change her surname it's just the marriage certificate does it suffice.

Please permit me to derail a bit. The sponsor you used, is the person a family relation in any way? Cos I want to use a sponsor that is not related to me

Oga there is nothing like that. Just send your package to Abuja that’s still the fastest processing location. Putting yourself in a tight corner sometimes doesn’t make sense, getting the PPR is what was most important than a travel date

Can u please share your timeline? Thank you.

Please does anyone know the impact of MP on SOWP application?

Because the processing time for our application was 13weeks and we are going to 8 months nothing has been updated, not even upfront medicals so we contacted MP 2months back and was told only criminality passed. She advised we contact them again after 2months if nothing by then.

Congratulations on your PPR
Please I need help, I have read many pages on this thread and I cannot find answers to any of my questions. I just got PPR for my study visa and I would like to apply for my husband immediately before I leave the country and I have the following questions

1. What category do I select when booking medicals, is it for visitor?

2. What are the documents I need to submit, I believe I do not need to write an invitation letter since I am still in Nigeria. Am I supposed to write an LOE and what would be the content?

3. He has a visitors visa application on the new portal, should I cancel it?

4. Do I use my GCkey to apply for him or open a new one for him?

Please I need you guys to help answer these questions, SweetJJ, Ketima, Profgordons and the others who have applied for SOWP

Thanks

Congratulations, package differently then put all in one envelope if you are sending by mail. Do not forget to pay the transmission fee for each child and I will advice sms fee also so you get real-time update on the movement of your package.

1. Visitor
2. Most documents as you did during your study application
3. I’ll advice you cancel it but they also can do that for you if they think an SOWP is better.
4. It doesn’t matter which you use, his application will be linked to you. If you apply for him under your GCKey, you will need to fill a use of representative form.

Congratulations to your family.
Please list documents submitted
