Hey guys,

10 months and 8 days later, still no update on my application. Anyway, I decided to do request for GCMS notes on my application. They replied me this night, I saw one of the note text saying "Applicant is applying for an open work permit; However eligility for any LMIA exemption code is unclear" from last Q4. Although the date on this particular note was before I contacted the MP who said My wife's study permit is missing from my application which he helped me send it as I saw in my quoted message. For some reason, the note text is not sitting well with me. Sound more like my application says i have a pending offer or something. Should i be more worried?

Also,I heard medical expires after a year. i submitted upfront medical for my application which was done end of May 2022. Will i be doing another medical any month again?

Damn, IRCC is really humbling me. They are teaching me "patience"

Why is it so difficult to get a landing gist on this very SOWP group. With a lot of SOWP approval for couples and families, people should try as much as possible to drop landing gist. The way we all ask questions now and then when processing our application, let's drop information about what was required at the port of entry as well.

The fact is, what officers ask at the port of entry from someone with study permit is totally different from someone with Work Permit and Visit Visa... So, make we dey drop landing gist for SOWP as well. It's not good to just ghost because application has been approved and we've received our stamped passport. Make we do well I beg!

OkukuOne:
Strange. I will advsie you raise a webform to ask question on it.

Landing gist dey only sweet express entry people and students who are leaving Naija for the first time. People who have been separated from their spouses for over three-four years and have traveled to other countries previously would not be so excited about landing gist.

I understand you... But my point is not about excitement. It's about providing important information about Port of entry requirements. If solid information were not provided on this platform, majority of us will not be able to do it ourselves. So, providing information about what was asked before gaining that final entry to the country is equally important, as the processing of the application. And it's not a must we put that up immediately when we meet our family, what about days or few weeks after. It'll help many families with kids on study or visit visa, and also the spouse with work permit.

Someone here told me how her 2 kids and her were nearly turned back at Pearson airport because she didn't expect the questions that were asked. She initially asked here that what are the requirements and possibly questions at the port of entry, and no one was able to provide any information... That wouldn't have been if we do drop landing gist.

Don't forget that questions that may be asked from a study permit holder will be different from work permit. And having a visa does not automatically mean entry into the country. Don't ever think such landing gist is not equally important! That's my point!

Please I'm new in this SOWP group.
I want to start processing visa for my spouse and my children. 1 of them is 7years and requires study permit. Now, my question is if I should secure an admission for her before I apply for them or is not required to give her a study permit.
Thanks.

Hi everyone. Please I’d like the help of the gurus on the platform. I’ve got some issues on my mind.

Firstly, my hubby applied for study visa about 2years ago. He got the visa, but he didn’t go because he said he didn’t have the heart to leave his family behind. Now I want to apply for study visa and apply with my family. I don’t know if it will be an issue.

For this I don't think is an issue, but you can add it to you LOI. But no real knowledge on this.

Secondly, I am going for a years course, do I need to show pof for the 2 years tuition plus cost of living for 2 years.

You only need to show POF for a year, for both tuition and living expenses.

This strongly depends on the size of your family. A family of 5 is diff from a family of 3.

Well, if your family have the funds, please go ahead.

Good luck!

I really need help with your inputs.

Thank you.
