Hi everyone. I've been silently following this thread. I've been sent a medical request. Has anyone gone for their medical test recently? Which of the centres can I go to and be attended to quickly? Please I will appreciate a quick response �

Go on their website to use the CSE webform.

Trust me you will keep getting the "under active review" response.

Long post alert!!!

So my canny journey started in 2016, please see my TL below.

First app: SOWP

Applied, August 2016 and refused September 2016 (paper)

Husband NOC: C

Second app: visit

Applied October 2016 and refused November 2016 (paper)

NOC was updated from C to B (2017 Long story of preparation)

Third app: SOWP

Applied January 19, 2018 and Refused February 24, 2018. (Paper)

Fourth app: SOWP

This application came with a lot of surprises.

Online route
Applied: February 26, 2018
Biometrics: February 28
Upfront medical updated: March 29
Approval and ppt request: October 19 (33weeks)
Ppt submitted: October 22 (the rest is history).

After using the whole of my family's documents in my previous apps, I decided to go for @dodoyemi's formula (by just using the required docs stated online), the statement we submitted was 3 months old and I uploaded it in a very scattered manner. When we started getting worried, I submitted CSE and got a response from Lagos embassy, hubby called IRCC and he was informed that the app was in London (U.K), I sent them a mail and was told "under active review". After 4 weeks hubby sent a mail to London but Lagos replied, my last mail to London two weeks later was very long and should have pushed any angry VO to make a decision because at that point i gave up hope and just wanted them to either reject or approve the app but i got the same one lined response. Eitherways, I was already preparing for EE.

Hubby submitted our EE profile on October 16, we were hoping to meet the October 17 draw, only for CIC to have conducted the draw on the 15th and the approval message came to my profile on October 19. Are this preparations tied? (I'm still trying to phantom the psychology of IRCC). Plus hubby's work permit expires January (due to passport expiry) and CIC issued me a 2 months visa till January (I'm still surprised).

A lot of intertwined stories but as always God is still on the throne....@dodoyemi thank you for everything.

My one penny to spouses of workers on here is that;

1.) IRCC's priorities are students and PR applicants (if I had known this, I won't be in this country by now instead of all d shakers I gave)

2.) Please start something towards EE, a step in the right direction is better than no step.

Abeg I they go pack my bag before dem change their mind.

Taink you and all the best to everyone.

Hello Bigmove, please did your husband apply for his student visa first before you and your child applied for Sowp or what?

Just curious, my situation is similar to yours, I therefore need all the help in this world from you and other people in here.

O dear. I'm sorry, I haven't read this thread in a little while. Applied for work permit. September applicant.

Good morning all. @emmy3131. If the purpose of your wife applying for another program is majorly so she can stay more further in CA...I think she can apply for post graduation work permit, as long as she as finished her studies, she will just go to the border with the evidence within 90days of finishing her study and she will get PGWP for 2/3 years depending on her year of duration of study. With her PGWP and a required NOC job you can still get your work permit and when she works for a year she can apply for PR for you guys. I stand corrected

Thanks Phoebe! Do you mean last month September?

Hi guys, just new to the forum. Thanks a lot for the great job here.
My wife is an international student in Canada. I applied for a visiting Visa in February but refused 5 weeks later.
She applied for me online from Canada for a SOPW on the 4th July using David Cohen attorney. I received request for Biometric on the 9th of July. Did Biometrics on the 12th of July. Today is 27th of October but no news.
Pls can someone tell me the timeline and possible causes of this delay.

bigmove:

Thanks Bigmove!

3 months plus, I guess. Some even takes up to 5 months. If I may ask, what was the reason given for your visitor's visa refusal? Just asking because I myself wanted to go that route lol

Hi well @Bab5 already responded. If your spouse already did a 2 year program, then she has qualified for PGWP. However, if she wants to renew, you'll have to wait till she gets the new study permit and send it to IRCC using the webform. As for the number, it's on CIC's website, I don't have it.

All the best

Hello every one. Please I'm actually looking for a thread on Canada family or spouse sponsorship but can't find any.My hubby sponsored me on December 2017, I got reliable information that December applicants are currently been contacted for PPR (passport request) Please can anyone tag me to the right thread

RedDoor:
hi nairalanders, my husband applied for the canadian Family Sponsorship Visa for me in December 2017 but i haven't received any update from them since then.

no biometrics or medicals request yet, is it normal?

He is a Canadian citizen and lives in Canada while I live in Nigeria.

Please how long do family sponsorship visa take to be ready?

Have you heard from them now. Mine is December 2017 and medical passed since May. What's your AOR

waya1:




This is really unusual. Have you tried sending a message to them? Or your spouse in canada contacting an MP to write to them?

It's not unusual. It's still within the 12 months processing time. I'm in the same situation as well. However they've started contacting December applicants, ours is different from sowp peeps

Yes my husband went to immigration office in Quebec and the booked an appointment for them to attend to him a week after,

on the appointed day he was told my application (Family Sponsorship) was returned because he didn't include his job details. They also said he won't pay another fee for me while reapplying.

I was unaware I spent 10 months waiting for nothing.



Please which other way can one migrate to Canada fast that won't keep one waiting for a year??

Should I use the study root or open work permit

Gurus in the house please help.

Is there anyone who did Family Sponsorship, how long did it stay before your approval?

My husband is a Canadian Citizen and reside in Quebec. Please does Quebec stay longer than other province before approving PR / visa??

Please someone with info about this question should kindly answer me.
Cheers.
