Ask your spouse. Something is expiring soon. Or try and talk to them at POE.

I also want to ask you, after paying online for applications, my wife was ask to extra 14k at vfs for visa processing for my 2years old daughter, please is this right?

bigmove:

Please I need help applying for gcms note. How did you apply and how long did it take you to receive it?

wealth360:
The journey all started in December 2017 after assuring my wife that their application should not take more than 2 - 3 months. I thought I knew it all.

1st Application (Paper route)
Submitted December 10th, 2017
Application updated in February 28th as Refused
Reason for refusal:
Generic travel history
purpose of visit
Personal asset
financial status

I applied for GCMS NOTE sharply, but I have in mind that the reason for the purpose of visit was because my study permit will soon expire in June 2018 and my program still continues till 2019 September. I applied for SP extension immediately and it took 2 months to come out in May 8th, 2018.

GCMS notes: focused on my wife financial status and personal asset. that what we had is not enough total of $17,000 cad. She had $7000 in her account and mine was $10,000 cad. The said amount was calculated with what is on IRCC website that:
Host: $10,000
2nd person : $4,000
if any 3rd: $3000 as living expense. But this is for PR application because for SOWP, there is no set proof of fund.

Result from gcms: Visa officer use what is called LICO (Low Income Cut-off) measure to make his or her judgement. It was written there that for a family of 3, $37,000 should be seen.

Another issue was that, I went to print out my statement showing inflow and outflow here in Canada, and most of the money was sent to me by friends here towards the submission date. So V.O said both I and my wife lodged huge money prior to submission and no explanation was given.

Application REFUSED.

2nd Application
Submitted May 15th 2018
Online route: Thinking it will be faster than paper and better.
Upfront medical was done.
Medical for wife updated as passed after one month June 18th.

Concerning the reasons for refusal:
1. I got a funding letter from my supervisor stating that from May 2018 I will be receiving a stipend of $1350 for 1 year = $16,200
2. I submitted just a bank balance statement of $17,000 cad (All money borrowed) and after application submission , I returned back all the money.
3. Wifey got a Cash gift from her Dad #10,000,000 transferred to her account and a deed of gift along with a letter of introduction to the V.O and also a land was transferred to both of us and deed of gift was done in January 2018 before the refusal + wifey Business account of #1,000,000 = 11million naira = $40,703 cad
Total fund showed was $74k+cad

Purpose of visit: we simply said my purpose is to reunite with my husband then returned to Nigeria after his program have ended.
Travel history: I have never had any reason to travel out of my beloved country ever since I was born, and this should not be used against me.

Then the wait started from May 15th. In September, Daughter medical was updated as Passed.
I contacted 2 MP's office one in Saskatoon and the other in Regina, Little they can do, just encouragement that we should be patience.
wrote several emails to London office with many IRCC web form, No response.

I applied for GCMS note in october 2018, it shows that medical and criminality are passed but review has not started nor assigned to anyone.
In November again after 2 weeks from the first gcms note, I applied again, result was the same with the first one. It was literally abandoned one place.

December 2018, I wrote a letter to the Immigration minister Ahmed Hussen, He responded that My local MP will get back to me. Still nothing.

January I travelled back to Nigeria to see my family I don miss my wife. Conji is not good at all.... . came back in Feb 17th and still no news. I wrote Prime minister Justin Trudeau, copied Ahmed Hussen again. No response.

The following wee I wrote the president of my University. He set up a meeting to discuss with me and further set up another meeting with the school immigration lawyer which was yesterday 5th after the meeting the Jazz lawyer told me to consider EE application I should write IELTS. I was just nodding.

My point; God has already done it for us while I was making all this moves thinking it should be done by my head knowledge. At the end. today 6th March , 2019, Wifey called that she saw an update , DONOTREPLY, checking with fear, I saw Application approved. Praise God.

To you out there, yours will come sooner than you know.

Pardon my long story people but it will help someone.

Cheers

I need some enlightenment here

I also want to ask you, after paying online for applications, my wife was ask to extra 14k at vfs for visa processing for my 2years old daughter, please is this right?[/quote]Yes, it is right. It is called processing fee, since your daughter didn't do biometrics.

His programme is till 2020 ooo. Immigration lawyer at his school said its possibly an error and I should come in and apply for extension. Although the MP office said my daughter's visa is till 2020. I'm even dreading that POE experience, don't know what to expect.


about vfs, I also paid, was told its for her passport transmission as she didnt do biometrics so she has to pay or something. Her passport is not ready for collection though mine was ready 4 days after submission. I paid for sms too but nothing yet from them.

Great. Thanks for the information. POE experience is fine jare. Just be bold. Answer their questions, where are you going or where is your final destination? Blablabla. You will be fine last last

2. I submitted just a bank balance statement of $17,000 cad (All money borrowed) and after application submission , I returned back all the money.

Hi bro, did you print just account profile that shows balance or you ordered for account balance confirmation letter?

Just balance statement. RBC CIBC gives . Stamp and signed. You can also request for a letter of introduction from the bank address to Immigration.
They know what to do.

Just make sure the principal applicant has enough fund to show in his or her SOA for the total number of family. My understanding is that VO do not consider the host SOA as primary instead it is the applicant account they look into very well. Reason: divorce rate is high among the white guys, so they seldom generalize it that in a case where the host shows all the Funds and the applicant is granted visa, on getting to Canada,
The host either divorce or have an issue with the spouse that just came, so what happens? The newly visitor to Canada will become an economic liability to the government. So it is advisable to keep most of the funds in the applicant's account. Google LICO Canada.

hello everyone,
so I got London's reply to my mail today saying their records indicate that an incorrect validity date has been input on my worker visa counterfoil and that they suggest two options;
1. to use the present valid visa to Canada and apply for extension (inserted the link) or

2. re-submit my passport to Lagos vfs for a reissuance valid till 2020 (they will not cancel the present visa but will send new passport request letter till i reply the mail with my choice)

Pls advise....

P.S. I have booked my ticket for 2nd week next month though daughter's passport is still not ready for collection but her profile has been update and her validity date is till 2020

Do you have to pay if you were to go the VFS route? If not, then I'd say that's the best option. I think it's better than going through a new application process within Canada though it takes like 5 days.

My CIC account was not updated(still got no update on your account mail today), only my daughter's was. I would suggest she pick up your daughter's own if she doesn't mind going twice and just keep tracking hers. She can also hold her slip and submit along with your daughter's own and if its not ready, she'll get her slip back, no harm in trying.
P.S. She will need a copy of her I.D card to pick up your daughter's passport.

Thanks
When are you moving please?
