Dear Gurus,

Please when can an SOWP applicant with medical request yet to be updated to pass start getting worried? 2 of the accompanying kids already got their PPR same day since last week and the last kid's medical updated to pass same day as the previous 2 is yet to get PPR.

HEADYWORLD:


Nothing to worry about … for them to approve your kids, your own too has been approved because their visa depend on yours. Just raise webform and send them mail. Congratulations

OkukuOne:
No worries. webform and emails can speedily the response time.

Congrats!

Dear Group members I need your advise, I am applying for a visitor visa to enable me accompany my wife to Canada and just remembered while filling the form now that I was refused a group visa with two others in my office to France on official training in September 2013. Do I still state that I was refused or say I have never ben refused? Thank you.

MumDofontario:
Please when did you submit the application? Submitted mine on the first of June and I'm beginning to be worried and anxious 😰

Timeline
I applied for my study visa last year July and visitor visas for my daughter and husband but I had to defer my Sept 2022 admission to 2023 because the visa was not forthcoming.

Jan 2023 I got a request to go for medical meanwhile nothing came for my husband and daughter
Feb 14th 2023 I got my PPR and my dependents got rejection letters
I submitted my passport and it took 8days to get the visa.
After plenty reading on this group we decided to apply for a SOWP for my husband instead of another visitor's visa
April 16th 2023 we applied for a Spousal Open Work Permit for my husband and a visitor visa for my daughter.
May 5th 2023 medical request came in for both of them
They did the medical on the 18th of May
May 29th PPR dropped
June 8th passport was ready for collection
June 28th arrived in Canada

We decided to travel early even though my school starts in September so I can still be fit to fly as baby no 2 is on the way.
Port of entry interview was a breeze, the officer just asked for my school's letter of acceptance, letter of introduction, proof of tuition payment (I paid 3000 CAD before coming) and the bank statement of my sponsor(my dad). There was no question on why we were coming in early, nothing about the pregnancy too and we were not asked to show our personal bank statements.

Documents submitted for my husband's SOWP
LOE
Pay slips for 3months
Employment letter
Land documents
Pictures of our building under construction
Letter from his father to support the monetary gift he sent
Statement of account from his pension manager
Bank statement showing closing balance of N2.3m
Confirmation of funds letter from the cooperative society in the institute he works for because he also saves money there
My bank statement showing closing balance of N5.8m
My student visa and letter of acceptance
Our wedding certificate
Family pictures

Documents submitted for my daughter
I wrote a supporting letter explaining why I couldn't leave her behind
Her birth certificate
My bank statement
Affidavit of support from my father that I submitted in my study permit application.
My study visa and letter of acceptance

God truly came through for my family, I thought my study permit application will be rejected because of the pregnancy or that we would have issues at the POE but everything just went smoothly, better than expected.

Thank you everyone for sharing your experiences, all that we read gave us the confidence to apply by ourselves. May God bless you.

OkukuOne:
Congrats!!!

We can do anything. All we need is perseverance and dedication. If you don't have those, then why come to Canada?

No shortcuts here. So, i believe the first thing to check your readiness, is doing your stuff yourself or come here and paying through your nose for all you want.

May the land of Canada favour you!

Thank you @Okukuone for your response

Pls I have one issue that I need someone to help me address

Ok I and my spouse will be one month old in marriage ( legally) when I will be applying for my study permit. I will be coming first then I will apply for him later

he will be one to pay for my first semester tuition fee and also show proof of fund for the remaining fee and living expenses.

Now I'm hearing it will raise a red flag if I said I'm working but can't provide my own bank statement or showing i paid my school fees by myself. And submitted marriage certificate of 1 month will look like an arrangee stuff

Now I'm confused o

Someone should helep me

Not a bad plan.

Also, ntot a bad one.

Now I'm hearing it will raise a red flag if I said I'm working but can't provide my own bank statement or showing i paid my school fees by myself. And submitted marriage certificate of 1 month will look like an arrangee stuff.

Disregard gossip and speculation, and focus on creating a well-crafted Statement of Purpose (SOP) that explains your personal motivation for studying abroad, taking into account the recent occurrence of your marriage.

Additionally, consider how to present compelling reasons for your spouse to join you at a later stage. Ths is something for much later and that should be coming under his own application when the time finally come.

Moreover, contemplate alternative options for a home tie in your SOP, particularly if you had initially considered using your husband as a home tie and now need to reassess that choice.

Alternatively, it is often recommended to include factors such as aged parents, employment, business ventures, and real estate as they represent stable and immovable assets.[i][/i]

Now I'm confused o

Empty your mind and chase after your objective. Your dreams are known to you better than anyone else.

Good luck!

hello guys, my cousins's husband was granted a student visa sometime in May, 2023,and would be traveling by August this year. their wedding was done subsequently in June this year, after the student visa had been granted. Can she begin her SOWP application now, or wait till after he gets to Canada. (note: she was not mentioned in his SOP during the SP application). your advice would be highly appreciated

hevbi:
Good morning all

My 2 kids and i were denied visit visa to see my spouse who is currently a student in canada .i ordered my gcms note and saw we were denied majorly on:

1. that my registered business was inactive on the cac online platform and so they doubt if iam am into business .

I contacted CAC and the issue has been fixed .my company is active on CAC platform

Now.,i want to know if i should reapply for visit visa or apply for sowp .was told sowp is better because it will help enable me work to support my wife and kids during our stay

Please gurus in house..kindly advise
