OTSAMUEL:
I mean covert a study permit to a work visa

Getbizzzy:
You mean someone with a valid work permit cannot enrol into a school in Canada?

I do not think so because while searching online, I got to understand that people with work permit can now enroll into a program which is a latest information. (see attached link). https://www.immigration.ca/canada-allows-work-permit-holders-to-study-for-more-than-six-months/#:~:text=Temporary%20foreign%20workers%20in%20Canada,about%20getting%20a%20study%20permit.

But what I'm not too sure of is about the option I highlighted above which is: how possible it is to enroll with a previously obtained admission outside Canada.

Good day house,
I want to ask about Port of Entry.
Family of 3
Wife: student
Husband: sowp
9months Daughter: VV
Family is traveling together.
At the POE will they line up at the same queue for study permit holders or the husband and child will line up in a separate queue.

Thanks

I think you are safe with your new LOA from same school for Sept 2024. Travel first week of August 2024, extend your study permit at POE shikina.

Yekebu:
Please I have a question, the medical examination validity on my LOI is today 16th August but my flight is not till early September, do I need to redo my medicals?

gideon19:
Good day all,

pls.. I will like to confirm whose account needs to have most of the funds to be used for POF.

My wife is going for study while I will be applying for SOWP and our child for VV. Although, I will be the Sponsor.

Should i send all money to Wife's account or just send the one that will be enough for her and our child to her account and will there be need for gift deed?

NOTE: Wife has her own salary account as well but might just need more funds.

I am the one that paid the school fees and some other expenses during the whole admission process.

Good day guys,

please I need a consent form.. I entered Canada last year, and I was given 1yr study permit, now I applied for extension and I got approval.

Now I don't know where to send my passport to for stamping and I also need consent form..


Please I need your contribution

Cadygosh:
Thanks for your reply. She has a Spousal permit, her hubby is currently studying in Canada. And for the visiting Visa, is it Visiting Visa all types or Visiting Visa tourism?

Focusmind:
The form is optional. If you have completed the study visa application form, it covers form 5257 as you will be issued a visa if your study visa application is approved even if you didn't include form 5257 in your application package.

Letusconnect:
Hello Everyone
Please, someone handled my study permit application for me and when I logged into my profile, I discovered that the form for Temporary Resident Visa(IMMM 5257) was not uploaded. Is it that it’s not a required form to be filled for approval? What do I do please?

Anyone please?

MumiOlivia:
Please house, for my pictures and chats with my sponsor, how can i merge everything together and upload? Please help out.

Army2022:
Someone please help , I'm already in Canada. I've checked ircc website but didn't see anything like POF for visa extension.
I have my new passport, I want to apply for visa extension as my old passport will expire soon.
Is 15kcad pof enough to show for visa extension? Is POF required? If yes, how much cad or how many years POF is required.
2yrs course, but I've paid for 1st semester which will start by Sept.

Phamoxy:
This is the gcms note of the application I submitted on June 3rd and that was refused on June 23. Please any suggestions on what to do or add in my next application.

Ultimaate:
Please someone should help me on this because my source of fund is from the sale of landed properties and I was refused on 21 June but the money has been on the account for 3 months now

olujinmisamson1:

nettato:
Hello everyone . i will be 28 next year and i want to apply for a 1yr program in may.

My question is

Can i apply with 3 month's bank statement with a budget of 23m.

i don't have much ties linking me to my country apart from my parent. And my business is e commerce and my family gave me part of the funds for it. no personal property

Will the inflow of cash from my e commerce and a letter stating my family added to it be enough to convince them?

The course i will like to study is tech related and different from my e commerce business.

what are my chances of getting a visa?

I will appreciate a response.

olujinmisamson1:
Good morning good people.

Thank you.

Her larger work experience of over 10years was on hospitality management industry and business management she owns her business and also a director in my own businesses.
Please what will you suggest on the POF as explained in my earlier submission.

Thanks for your response and contribution.

tenderjunkie:
Alright. What are the reasons it could change?

EkaAkp:
I recently got my Canadian visitors visa last week, I’m yet to actually travel because the visa came in late and the purpose of travel had passed. However, my wife age 25, has gotten admission and is to resume by January 4th in Canada. POF isn’t the issue, home ties isn’t an issue also as I have 2 lands of over 10Million in value, a very good business and I am employed also. My wife has a plot of land also and she’s duly employed also. We work in the same company. I have a daughter who is 3yrs old from my ex girlfriend. My wife will be granted a study leave by then ur company and I have been granted a transition to another department in the company to allow me work remotely if I wish to accompany my wife.
I will be the sponsor
The issue here is this, should we apply together ? when my wife applies for her study permit, should she apply for my SOWP? Remember I have a visitor visa approved already .
Also, is it a red flag 🚩 that my company is allowing me work remotely and yet I am seeking SOWP ?

tenderjunkie:
UCI number doesn't change

Zeed13:
Hello, my cousin was supposed to resume by April but missed the resumption date because the visa arrived late.
Now she has a resumption of this September (updated admission letter, same sch), is she supposed to send the new admission to IRCC or she can just show it at the point of the entry_
Please advise.

ediblesz:
Hello guys!! I initially applied using the new portal but I don’t know how to extend sp there coz I’m trying to do that. Can I use the old portal for my sp extension with a new gckey account ?

ShowYoung:
Thank you for your input but let me quickly remind you that I never said SOWP holder cannot study full time. You bolden some words/phrases/sentences my post and added "SOWP holder can study full time"

I think you had the intention of correcting the 1 year limit that I put which is an unintentional error. SOWP holder can study full time and for as long as their SOWP is valid.

Also concerning the 18 month extension. You are correct. Kindly allow me to add that it doesn't mean that SOWP holder cannot still extend their work permit but it's just that it is not going to be free. Also, there is a probability that IRCC will still do the extension because they did in 2022, they might do in 2024 but it might take a different form.

Meanwhile, irrespective of the 18 month extension, work permit holders will still be able to extend their work permit but not free of charge.

SOWP is a work permit irrespective of the adjective used to qualify it and its primary purpose is to work full time: being able to study is a secondary purpose.

ShowYoung:
The agent is mistaken.

Children (age 0 - 8 years) need visitor visa or study permit (age 3 and above) to accompany their parent.

Your 11 month old child should have gone for a visitor visa.

Children of study permit holder who hold visitor visa can study free of charge because Visitor Record will be issued to them at the port of entry which will enable them to study without applying for study permit.

For you, you should have applied for Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP). Visitor visa is not good for you because you will not be able to work or study. The purpose of SOWP is for the holder to work and, recently, study without study permit if the study is not more than 1 year. Sowp holders can study full time


In fact, when you enter Canada with SOWP, IRCC will send you an email that they want to add additional 18 months SOWP provided your passport will not expire in Feb. 2025. They want to give you till 2025 or more. This is a new and temporary measure to extend work permit free of charge.

Hi Biola,

Yes i am in Canada, this platform played a major role in my journey. The fact that people dont have jobs doesnt mean that everyone's destiny is the same. I got a job that pays all my bills about 2 months after i came in. Well i'm in Ontario but not in Toronto, i hear Toronto is one the most expensive places to live. No matter how you look at it, prospects are much more here than back home. I mean for anyone who really wants to relocate.

Even people that relocate with PR face challenges but overall, i will neva discourage anyone from coming to Canada. Yes, come with as much money as you can because settling down initailly isnt easy but others have done it. Most importantly, i believe so much in the God factor. If God is with you on this relocation journey, you will never be stranded.

Did u really expect me to tell people, don't come o, here is hard. Hmmm. I cant say that o.

Nbv1:
Are you in canada and where are you and what’s your status? Stop advising people here if you don’t live in canada. I live here in Toronto with a full time job. This place is not for the poor. I insist, if you fail to plan before coming here you will suffer. The students here are going through a lot and also people with PR. Anyone coming here should come in with a lot of money. Jobs are not easy to get here as well. The bills are also much here. Recent data released in Vancouver this week shows residence in Vancouver spend half of their annual earnings on rent and utilities . Plan before Comin here please. It’s tough here and this is no joke. Those who are already established in nigeria , canada is not for them. The stupidly rich people are the only ones that enjoy living here.

yk2018:
She isn’t sponsoring me just gifting me some money of my living expenses, I am the sole sponsor…….
She is doing transfer to my bank account

She has gifted me money before but just thousand but this time is millions.

Do I need her birth certificate?
To show proof we are blood bear the same father name ?

DREAMHILS:
Hi all. I need your inputs. My husband applied for sowp with me in March. He used his old passport which will expire in Dec. He got a new passport before ppr and submitted both the old and new passports when the request came. His new passport was stamped. But both the passport and letter of introduction states his visa is valid till Dec 2023 while mine is valid till Sept 2025.

Please, can this be resolved at the POE to align his visa validity with mine?

I appreciate every response. Thank you.
