Hello House,
I need some help with my PR application please. I hope this is the right place to write this.
My wife is a citizen and we got married last year. I am in Canada on study permit.
Now we are trying to submit my PR application. The problem is getting Naija police certificate from here.
Could anybody kindly help me with this? or a link to some blog detailing the process. Thanks!

[quote author=Damysa post=123047702]Congratulations!!

I tap into your grace.

The document you submitted, did you arrange them in the order in which you wrote them out here under client information. I am thinking how best to arrange my documents to tell my story better.

Also, what reasons did you and your wife give to reunite, especially because you have finished school.

Please anyone with suggestions can also chime in.

Thank you

[quote]
Hi… @Damysa, I arranged her documents exactly in this order.

Some of the reasons I remembered saying were:

1) Haven’t been with each other for a long time. (We married Oct 2022)
2) The distance is affecting our mental health and well-being.
3) Se intend to start a new life together and experience new things together.
4) Our situation can break our home and lead to mortal sin against God and marriage (adultery).

You can build around these and more as that was what I intentionally did to uproar my wife’s application.

It will surely end in praises

Hi guys.

My sister got study permit PPR a few days ago. She plans to travel in September and will be married in a few weeks.

She’ll like her husband to come along with her or join her as soon as possible. Is it recommended to apply for SOWP for him before she travels? How strict is the requirement to add study permit and proof of enrolment to the SOWP application?

I’ll like to know if anyone has done something similar and how it turned out.

Thanks
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by OkukuOne(m): 9:42am On May 16, 2023
If she have a very detailed SOP/LOI for him to join her ASAP, then, I think it's wise she applies for him now. Those study permit and proof of enrolment can be shared via a webform.

Good luck!

@Okukuone
Please with this, is there chances he will get the visa while the wife is still in Nigeria so they can travel together, like as it ever happened before ?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by OkukuOne(m): 4:38pm On May 16, 2023
If all loose ends are closed, coupled with a good SOP, then, it is very possible.

I strongly believe we should all have faith to all we do. Ensure you always do your part and God will perfect it.

You MUST pay transmission fee for all applicants whether or not they did biometric.

follow the below link to get the latest cost of transmission: https://visa.vfsglobal.com/nga/en/can/passport-submission

2) Do I need to pay package transmission fee considering the fact that I did biometric.
Yes pls!

3) Do I need to package all the passports in one envelope or I will the need to separate individual passport using different envelope.

Put each applicant's passport in a smaller envelope, then use one big envelope to send it through speedpost.

Good Luck!

Hello Gurus,

Please is it normal not to see where to upload medicals for minors in the application for SOWP for spouse and kids? I only saw for the Spouse but nothing for the minors. Although we have not done upfront medicals.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by OkukuOne(m): 7:06am On May 17, 2023
No, it is not normal. Form may have not be filled correctly. Go back and check properly if you filled the froms well.

you can also check youtube videos for proper guidance.


Good luck!

If the minor is visitors visa , no medical is required.

Hello Gurus in the house, I applied for SOWP with visitor’s visa for my 11 months old baby March 12th, did Biometrics March 20th. My husband traveled May 2nd, my eligibility started May 5th, and till now May 17th I haven’t gotten any response. Would it be okay to send webform pleading my application should be expedited ? I checked the application tracker and my application was last updated May 8th.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Teekay20: 8:13pm On May 17, 2023
Good evening everyone, please I have a question.My spouse just got his visitor visa approved and he has sent his passport for stamping. We got a medical request for his SOWP application the next morning. Please can he travel to Canada with the visitor visa and get the SOWP at the point of entry or flag polling? I honestly don’t know IRCC timeline for the SOWP application.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by drokiri(m): 4:08am On May 18, 2023
Two things are possible :
1. after his medicals for the SOWP, I will expect that the SOWP process is almost complete. if there is no urgent need to travel, he can wait to complete it before leaving Nigeria.
2. after his medicals, he can travel to Canada. once they request his passport in Canada, he can send them an email that he is currently in Canada on a visitor visa and that they should advise him of where he can send his passport in Canada. if there are other options, IRCC will let him know.

N.B= I once submitted my passport to a CIC office in Canada while other members of my family were still in Nigeria and they sent theirs to Ghana.

If you strongly believe that sending them a web form will work, you can send it.
but from their website, the processing time is 24 weeks and your application is still within this time.

Let him travel to Canada on VV. Then flagpole. Mind you he can't flagpole on arrival. He has to do that after he has entered on VV.

I strongly recommend they send webforms and emails. I saw it here and it worked for several persons including yours truly.

N/B:
@Teekay20: Also good to state here that your SOP should have some sort of urgency. If that was there, then it makes it possible for them to attend to you speedily.

Please my Fiancee left for school in January 2023, her program and visa ends in August 2024. We plan to get married in August and then commence SOWP to enable me to join her after wedding. Please what are the modalities and how long will this likely take. Also does the fact that she has less than a year left on her study visa (minus post study) affect anything?.....Hoping to hear from someone soon
