Hello everyone, I am new here and so confused right now.

Read some post already but haven't gotten the answer. So we were asked to submit passport. Afterward,we got a text to pay for passport transmission.

The question is:

1) Is transmission fee per person for family of 4 or per package.
2) I applied as a student, but I haven't gotten my study permit before the passport request, what am I supposed to do?
3) Do I need to apply for spousal work permit differently?

4) Lastly, I learnt some documents has to be enclosed with the passport sent from DHL but I sent only passport, what's the way forward?

Biko, help a sister before my head burst.


Well all these questions have been answered already but

Transmission fee is paid per individual

You get your visa arrive Canada and get your study permit at the airport

When you get your study permit you can use to apply for spousal open work permit although some people apply without it

Sure you can't send only your passport, you will add the PPR request letter, your biometric slip, transmission fee receipt and logistics receipt except you are going to pick up your self.
But since you did not submit it wait for the office to call you or resend all you did not send with an explanation typed explaining that they were documents you did not send initially

Good luck

We did not send any mail.
but we wrote details letter of explanation and a letter of invitation.
We listed all accounts and showed estimated expenses.

The only thing we did was to upload the medical results and a recent proof of enrollment via webform.

If you are not in Abuja or Lagos to do self submission, you can do one way with DHL after paying for return courier on VFS site.

I thought as much that it was a one year course, it reduces the chances of dependents coming with you. It will be unlikely that they will even approve for those two. The problem is not the money.

@ Prof! My wife Just got to Canada this week with a 1 yr study permit expiring Aug 2023 and I am planning to apply for SOWP / study permit respectively for me and my 4kid to join her what are our chances considering the 1 yr course constraint?

It doesn't matter if its 1 yr or 2 years all that matters is that in SOP you build a case of how the separation of the family will affect the family , show that you have things that will bring u back after her study , good job or registered good biz , good home ties , good cash then your good to go

Does this mean that for someone studying a one year course, it is impossible to bring your dependents with you? I’ve seen two family applications that were approved for an applicant who is studying a one year course.

@ graceful! My wife just arrived Canada this week on a 1 yrs course SP expiring Aug 2023 and am trying to apply for SOWP and Study visa for me and my kids, but am afraid the 1 Yr SP validity may affect our chances. How did your GCSM request go?

@Profgordons, @noeloge82, @Kam3, @skull4eva, @Pyale Hello guys, i need the advice of the gurus here. I applied for a Canada Visit visa 2years ago but i cancelled the application.
NOTE: I DID NOT go for biometrics at all. I cancelled the application 3days after i applied and i didnt do biometrics at all.

My question is does that mean i have applied for Canada Visa before knowing fully well they do not have my face or fingerprints on record since i didnt do biometrics.... I have submitted a SOWP application and i answered NO to the question if i have ever applied or been refused a Canada Visa before? Do i need to update and inform them via webform that i applied before but cancelled the application before they processed it?

I need your help guys.....

If the question is Have you applied for a Canada visa your answer should be yes because you submitted your application before you withdrew , but if the question is have you been refused a Visa application before your answer should be no because , you were never refused Visa but you withdrew your application.

If you want to explain this on your webform its not bad to avoid a situation that it will be seen you are withholding an information , you can go future to explain you answered no because you thought that an application without an decision on it was not valid but after a careful review you discovered you were wrong and hence the correction . You can also state the reason for your withdrawal then .
Good luck in your response, we will celebrate your approval

I received the notes on Thursday.
It was the same generic reason of “ The applicants assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the purpose of travel for the applicant and any other accompanying family member(s) if applicable”. The other reason was “No parental consent”.

Hello, the Gurus in the house:

Kindly advise me on this. I made my application for SOWP on the 31st of October 2022. I had my Biometric done on November 02 and it was updated immediately. I also did an upfront medical. As of today, my medical results have not been updated. Do you advise I send the medical sheet via web form to the IRCC or should I wait for them to do the needful?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Uzomachukwuu: 10:37am On Dec 20, 2022
Sending it to them via webform causes no harm.

I read through this chat and understood the process. However, I was getting a contradicting information and needed clarification and help. It turned out that what I read here is accurate. I really appreciate the efforts and selfless sacrifice of many people on this forum thread. It is awesome

I am sorry for not sharing the timelines earlier. See below:
Application date: November 5, 2022
Visa type: SOWP for spouse, SP for 2 kids and TRV for 1 child
Visa approval date/PPR: December 19, 2022
Documents:
Bank Statements (Only student's accounts both in Nigeria and Canada)
Study permit
SOP
Invitation letter from student
Landed properties in Nigeria (on student name)
