Congratulations!!!. Jeffi7:
PPR !!! For a family of five.
My spouse traveled to Canada on student visa in August 2022. I applied for myself and three kids in October 2022.
Timeline
1. Family application, Sowp for me, study permit for two of the kids and visit visa for the third kid on the 21st October
2. Biometrics on the 27th October
3. Medical request by IRCC on the 28th November
4. Medical screening submitted on 27th and passed on 28th December
5. PPR on the 30th for all members of the family.
I appreciate nairaland as I did everything on my own and from information gotten here.
Note: I used the old gckey account my spouse used in getting her study permit.
Pls as soon as ur spouse lands in Canada you can put in ur application as it's not necessary to wait as most people presume.
Documents sent
1. Mbs statement for me and my spouse
2. Leave letter from office
3. 3 months Pay slip
4. Pension statement of account
5. IELTS
6. WES evaluation
7. Kids letter from school
8. Landed documents
9. House documents
10. Employment letter, promotion letter
11. Family pictures

It's faster and better to go for SOWP instead of visit visa.....
Wish you all success in ur application.

They need to know what else to do to elongate their stay if they would like to. Coming in and going back after few months may not worth it, if you ask me. |

Goodmorning Family, I know this is not the place to ask this,but please Family am in need of Counselling
I am about to switch my Program to Nursing,that is Diploma in Nursing, its a two year course in the same school am attending,but before starting the course you are expected to undertake a 30weeks prehealth course still in the same school before starting the Nursing program
My question is-
Can I apply for a study permit extension because my initial course is meant to be two years?
With the intended Nursing program am I still eligible for a 3years PGWP?
My passport will expire in Mid 2024,can I renew my Passport and also apply for an extension of my Study Permit?
Please Answers need please |

Please Answers need please Yes you can always change school and program as long as you have completed at least one Semester in your current school and in good standing. You will get permit extension and as long as the school your are switching over to is a DLI, you will get PWGP. 1 Like |

Hi Everyone,
Thank you for the insight you share here.
Please i want to apply for Study permit, SOWP for my hubby and Study permit for my 2 kids.
1. i started with the IRCC portal but i noticed there's no SOWP there. Should i use the new IRCC for me and the kids and use GCkey for hubby or should i use GCkey for everyone?
2. being the principal applicant, Do i have to write a letter of invitation for everybody ?
3. For my children's study permit, what details will i fill in for the school?
