Dear @Makano, aestake, DrAFOgons, Profgordons, HEADYWORLD, Lizzy et al,

I have submitted my application for SOWP and the kids' SP.

Please I didn't fill out IMM5646 (Custodianship Declaration - Parents/Guardians for minors studying in Canada).

Is this a MUST or can this cause me any problems? I just remember that I saw something about it earlier on that " you may fill out the IMM 5646 form" and I can't remember filling it out before submitting my application.

Is it an idea to fill it out and send it through webform?

Please, team please guide me here.

Thanks in anticipation.

Finally, PPR for SOWP

All glory to God.

Application Date: 13 Oct 2022
Upfront Medical Done: 7 Nov 2022
Medical Passed: 14 Nov 2022
Eligibility Started: 28 Feb 2023
BVL: 13/03/2023
PPR: 13/03/2023

The wait and uncertainty can be depressing and frustrating.

I remember someone here yesterday stated don’t bombard them with emails when I asked for IRCC email address to compare with what I have. I was so vexed this morning cos my life is almost on hold. My wife is travelling this weekend to Canada, and I wasn’t happy likewise her!
I angrily emailed various offices, knowing my application was in Kenya! I sent to Dakar, Ghana, Lagos, Abuja, London, Mexico, Qatar and more. I knew it was wrong, but I didn’t care at this point! The goal is I needed a response after sending emails to Kenya at reasonable intervals but no point.

London emailed me that my application is not with them (of course, I know). They said I should go to the general web form (they sent a link), and they will instruct someone to pick it up if I do it now with my application number. I don’t know if they did anything, but I got PPR a few hours later.

The bottom line is I sincerely thank God, and the emails I sent were pleading and angry in some parts.

It will end in praise for everyone.

To all the great gurus in the house. Please, I need your assistance on the next thing to do

I got a refusal letter for SOWP for myself, OSP for 3 kids, and VV for my last daughter. Wifey has been crying all-day

Thank you for your interest in working in Canada. After careful review of your work permit
application and supporting documentation under the International Mobility Program, I have
determined that your application does not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee
Protection Act (IRPA) and Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR). I am refusing
your application on the following grounds:

• Your assets and financial situation are insufficient to support the stated purpose of travel
for yourself (and any accompanying family member(s), if applicable).
• You do not have significant family ties outside Canada.
• Your current employment situation does not show that you are financially established in
your country of residence.

document submitted:

 Letter of explanation
 Employment/ academic credentials/ Job experience
- Monthly pay slips (two months)
- Tax certificate
- Pension certificate
- BSc certificate
- NYSC certificate
- Resume/CV
 Evidence to support economic and family ties
- Leave of absence letter
- Pension statement of account
- Personal building accommodation documents (not valued)
- Landed property documents (not valued)
- Vehicle documents (not valued)
- Family pictures
 Evidence to support funds and financial situation
- Joint account statement in naira (38m)
- Pension account statement in naira (2m)
 Wife’s support documents
- invitation letter
- confirmation of enrolment letter
- official transcript
- Passport data page
- Visa page/Study permit
- Support letter of Custody
 Video calls communications

I was told by an agent that Canada doesn't accept ordinary bank statements again and that it has to be a statement with a generated token/passcode that can be used to verify the Funds immediately instead of contacting the Bank through CBN. is this true?

Also, that I need to value all my properties and not just snap and attach them.

Please, house I need your help on what to do

Please, house I need your help on what to do

First apply for your CBSA notes to see the actual reason, the 38m considering your pension balance does not commensurate with your earnings, probably you don explain any lumpsum. On the issue of home tie, do you talk about relatives in Nigeria?

Valuation is not compulsory

On the bank statements, MBS is better than printed bank statements especially when the pages is more.

All the best

Just add whoever is the student btw you and your spouse's Letter of Acceptance in the section for your child as well. They know the child is not yet admitted and the parent's Letter of Acceptance will suffice.

I think you uploaded tooo many documents also your bank statement should be sent from the bank then you upload the username/password printed to you from the bank/generate via bank app.
Will recommend you give your application to a good visa agent check out mikano here he will help .
