@Flaj, ok thanks.
Flaj:


That depends on the VO. If you can, you can pursue PR for the family on the side.

ami05:
The processing time is now 14 weeks, they should be called for medical soon but the most important thing is prayer. I wish you Goodluck



Exactly my prayers Ami05, thanks for the hope. Have a great day guys!

Thanks

Bab5:
This question should be for paper application, which I don't know the price. If you opt for online application, you will pay CAD$335 online, you won't pay at VFS except you opt for their SMS which was N460 as at early April 2018.
I hope this helps.

@Flaj, you have a point, I have plan towards that but I need to graduate first as I didn't have enough of work experience after graduation.
Your Nigerian experience is useful as long as you can show proof, though you'll be invited under the Federal Skilled Workers, a opposed to Canadian experience class.
All the best

So happy for you dear. Good news we shall all share here by God's grace. Congratulations
ami05:
I'm soo happy.. Passport request mail received today and before my husband could have access to his mail I opened the mail first, I was in class when the email dropped because I always look forward to any email he received. My heart was beating fast and I started crying in class that my professor came to hug because I couldn't hold back my tears of joy.

Please do not give up and keep trying, he has been denied 4 times (rejected twice for study permit and twice for visitor visa) we just gave SOWP (5 attempt) a try and Alhamdulilah it was approved .

Submitted: Feb 25

Both refusals were SOWP. First was online but my NOC didn't meet the requirements. Although, I updated my new job via case enquiry but was still refused.

Second refusal was paper based application. The VO doubted the legitimacy of my marriage, wife's travel history, job prospect for spouse...

Final application was online. I submitted a 50 page additional documents. All they needed was proof.

Letter of explanation stating she's my wife and that I would take care of all her expenses
Marriage certificate, lots of pictures from Traditional Marriage to civil marriage, police report, reference letter from her previous employer (I told her to stop working after we got married), world remit and banking transactions to spouse, my T4, reference from my company, last three paystubs, Bank details, benefits for spouse and I from my company, letter of acknowledgement for PR, letter from my member of parliament, letters and assets from my dad and father in law, and lots of prayer o

I was able to snipe all my additional documents before uploading and it was about 3.97Mb

All the best guys!

Seems this letter from a member of parliament has an impact in most applications, I know of someone who also added it and he was given the visa

Hello house, I’m the one who told the house about my son and I’s Approval without medical. Well we are in Canada already but not with a bit of drama at our POE.
The day we got in, our passports were collected for verification and we were asked to sit. Few minutes later I was called and asked if I came in from the US, I said no and provided my travel tickets. The guy asked me this question more than 2ce. He later told me that was there a time I did medical during the processing time, I saw No.
He said Madam pls seat, he called his other colleagues and they said it’s not possible. Then they started giving me direct eye contact and I was just staring at them without fear.
After about 45minutes, I was called and told I should have been sent back but they have checked and seen that it wasn’t my fault, I will be allowed in on conditions.
1. I must the medical in 2months for my son and I
2. I can’t teach and interact with children also my son can’t attend daycare
3. Our permit can only be valid for 6 months after which we must exist Canada if we don’t provide the medical.
The issue has since been resolved but that was an experience on its own. Will share that tomorrow
My advise to anyone still doing this process is do your medical no matter what VFS says. They told there that Nigerians can’t be allowed in without medical only if they aren’t staying more than 6 months
