Please what is your take on the following?

It is most common for a wife applying for a study permit to be accompanied by her husband (SOWP), please what can be used as convincing reasons for a man applying for a study permit to be accompanied by his wife,(SOWP) while applying together at a time??

OkukuOne:
This is not the usual way, but my guess is that they are trying to enforce it now.

I believe I will b having same because I contacted them today to know my passport is ready and asked them how does DHL collect the passport. The VFS told me striaght on that 2 ways are no longer accepted; however, my passport is not ready for collection. I will be notified when it's ready.

Congratulations, I don’t know third party sponsorship is allowed for SOWP. So I can use my brother to sponsor my wife’s application

gregoma:

My biggest concern is if the transmission fees i paid to vfs is meant for the return of my passport, as it is now i got an email yesterday "our decision envelope will be returned to you via the courier service offered by the VAC. Collection of decision envelopes in-person at the VAC is not permitted until further notice. Please refer to the 'Buy Services' page of the VAC website for further information on courier services offered by the VAC" Does it mean i need to pay a seprerate fee for the return? If anyone has recently received theirs passports, kindly assist with info on the new process....

I type this with sim much joy and pleasure as my wife’s SOWP was just approved. We got married sometime last year and I also graduated from a DLI last year but because I did flagpole at the American boarder, and didn’t have a recognized NOC (TEER) job, we couldn’t apply as we knew it would be straight rejection.

Not until after Canada announced that anyone could apply after February 1st as long as you have an eligible PGWP. We decided to wait till then, and filled in the application late February. After several weeks and months and sending personal emails and webforms, Canada decided to give us our love yesterday yesterday.

For those interested in applying with their spouse, be it married for a longtime or just got married, please and please, put in that application. You would be surprised at the outcome.

PS: We also contacted the MP in Burnaby, New Westminster and Central Vancouver to expedite our process and we only got feedback from one of them. Although, we feel that also impacted our timeline.
