quote author=Reseptie post=107883315]Its PPRRRRRR OOOO

Thank you Jesus, oh thank you Jesus.

I applied for SOWP for myself and Visitor's visa for my 8-year old, submitted on the 1st of June when my spouse was still in Nigeria and he left for Canada on the 29th of August. Even though, I read on here to wait till he gets to Canada but i just did not want to take chances and backed it up with prayers,trust me i got tired most of the time because of the wait. Anyhoo... God has done it oooooh.

The week my spouse travelled, he sent me his study permit and i uploaded it for myself and my son via webform and also via email. After submission on the 1st of June, when my spouse got to Canada in August i added the following docs:

SIN

Study Permit

Timeline

June 1st Application Submitted (Mine and son)
June 4th Upfront medical updated (upfront medical)
November 19th. IRCC requested for additional docs (Birth Cert for my son and consent letter from his Dad to allow him travel with me)
November 23rd: BVL and PPR (was sent about 20mins apart)


Documents submitted

All IMM forms

Explanation letter for me

Letter of support from my spouse written separately for me and my son

Spouse stamped visa

Spouse 1st semester transcript/result

Marriage certs and some family pictures

Statement of account

Investment account

Admission letter for my spouse

Evidence of full tuition paid for my spouse

Son's birth cert

Letter from employer and pay slips

Medical slip (Updated medical)

Copies of our international passports, previous/current travel visas

Police clearance cert

My academic credentials

Resume

News paper publication for name change

Requested for 1st GCMS note in August received on the 30th of October in that GCMS note eligibility was blank, medical and criminality passed while my info sharing was still in progress

Second GCMS on the 27th of October yet to receive it

IRCC requested for consent letter and birth certificate for my son 19th of November ,sent same day

Eligibility review started for my son and I on the 19th of November

Sent all sorts of emails and enquiries contacted a couple of MPs (Kitchener and London Ontario sent enquiries to IRCC on our behalf too).The MP in London ,Ontario contacted IRCC for us in October and they came back to say they would finalize our application in January 2022 ,I said abi they were joking ni, well instead of getting mad at the messenger sebi na help he kuku do me. I took the response and processing time he mentioned to Jesus.

Before then, i requested for travel exemption for my son and I got an authorisation as per subject of the email in September 2021 for my son only. In the course of this application, i also renewed my Nigerian Passport because the one i applied with was meant to expire January 2022, after the renewal i updated it with a webform.

If your spouse has a Study TRV for now abeg apply ooooooooo ,i did and God did it for me and my son, he will do yours too.Waiting on God to come through was not easy, i was strong and weak at the same, seeing people share their testimonies here i did wonder when mine would land ,finally it has landed and i just want to say thank you to Abba Father.

I am writing this to encourage my peeps that are waiting because our peeps that shared their Sowp journey also encouraged me while I waited for mine. I would not say you should not worry cause arghh mo worry gan ni but try not to worry too much which I know is easier said than done and I prayed, I stopped praying and I continued praying again,God i prayedddddddddd .(KO FUNNY RARA)

It ended in praise and the lord crowned us with his goodness.

@Shams040 You can go ahead and renew your own passport, then apply for your extension separately.In the case of your spouse's sowp, you can address same in two ways not sure you can link your extension to hers now since they are separate applications, you gerrit...

1.If she is yet to receive feedback on her current SOWP application, and should you receive approval for your study permit extension (while her application is still in process), she can raise a web form to attach your updated study permit to her application.And the duration on her PP would be same as your updated study permit.

2. If she gets a feedback before your extension is granted, once your extension is approved she can apply for her own Open Work Permit Extension. Extensions within Canada is not as slow as we currently have our Sowps /Study permit outside Canada (Naija) and whichever way you choose to go about may it end in your favour.

May we all receive our good news soonest.

shams040:
Please I applied for my wife SOWP and we haven't heard anything since oct, 2021 but the medical is passed. I want to renew my passport so that I can seek an extension as my current visa would expire by Oct 2022.

My question is can I link my wife's SOWP to my study permit extension? if yes, please how can I do that?

Thanks

Hello you can request using https://gcmsnotes.com/ it is quite self explanatory or apply via https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/welcome.do the latter require that only a Canadian or Permanent Resident can request the notes via the atip route.

Hope this helps.

Hello @ babybless44 dont worry your PPR is on the way to you by God's grace. Wanted to ask if you have now gone for your upfront medical and have you tired contacting IRCC via emails and webforms since you applied?

It will end in massive praises.

Hello Henrie,please see my thoughts to your questions below:

Hi everyone. Please I will appreciate it if anyone can answer my questions thank you.

I got my study visa 1st week of October, please how long should it take for my spouse to apply for a sowp?

Congratulations on the approval of your study visa ,the duration it takes for your spouse to apply is solely your decision, some apply immediately the spouse gets approved with study visa in Nigeria or their respective home country before travelling to the promise land(Canada) ,some decide to land in Canada to apply for the significant other and children if any.

Based on the current thread, no one can categorically tell you the exact number of days/ months it takes to process SOWP since some got approved in a month and others more than 6months.So it usually depends on the VO and majorly on God if you believe in him ooo.(lol) and the truth is to save you time due to delays in processing the SOWP, note that the earlier you apply the better.

Is it advisable for my spouse to apply for a visiting visa so as to travel with me to help me get settled and then come back to Nigeria?

There is no harm in your spouse traveling with you to settle in Canada and return cause it has been done before and people still do same. However, any kind of Visa you choose to apply for would be at your discretion ,and since the delay in processing SOWP has become a major prayer point now, i would think applying for both Sowp and Visitor's visa is doable to be on a safe side, not sure how this works but you can give it a try. I am not so much of a guru in applying for two different visas at the same time but the gurus in here can advise you more.

Whichever decision you make ,i pray it ends in your favour in Jesus name.


Thank you
Henriie:

This their processing is not encouraging at all and it is frustrating to say the least.I am extremely tired of waiting and sending emails without response from any one.

I have decided to leave it for Jesus and even praying for the application sef one needs strength .God will favour us all in Jesus name and in a very short while.

Thank God we are closer to our PPRs from where we began.I don tire to dey refresh yahoo mail and check my IRCC account sha.

As i am encouraging you, i am also am encouraging my self .


sam4774:
so i checked the updated processing time for work permits from Nigeria and it has jumped from 21 weeks to 29 weeks. Boss let me not lie to you, if it is in your power this TRV its looking very realistic. i am thinking of doing some research and following this path, people re-uniting with their sposes in a month oo! the way this SOWP is doing its like it wants us to spend the holidays away from our spouses. GOD FORBID!

@ Akannitommy Awwwwwwwwwww,a big congratulations!!! so good to hear this good news and in no time God will perfect it all.

But it wouldn't cost the processing officer anything to approve it all at once abi, the wait would soon be over and i agree it is not easy at all

Well, all i do from here is raise webforms ,send emails to follow up on mine and my son's application and it is usually the generic automated responses and i don tire to dey send them emails and webforms. I applied on the 1st of June so fingers are still crossed and keeping the faith alive.

I requested for GCMS too since August and no show yet maybe they will respond today cause what God cannot do does not exist.

Na to always put IRCC in fire prayers cause, God the wait is heart breaking.

It will end in praise very very soon and congrats again on your children's approval God will finish it this month in Jesus name

My regards,

Hi Reseptie,

Thanks for asking. I was trying to stay under the radar until is done ni o!! Anyways, since you asked directly, I can't avoid the question any longer.

About a week ago, we got PPR for my two older kids who applied for study permits. We are still waiting to hear from them on my wife's open work permit and our 2 year old's visit visa. I sent webform already and emails while also following up with MP's office. E no easy but we are keeping hope alive. It shall all end in praises.

NB: if anyone has tips on how to get them to respond quickly please advise. If you also have had to go through this sort of experience before please help shed some light on why the delay/different timelines for applications submitted together. We are holding on, on sending the PP though for a bit longer because of the double logistics it would result in when we get the other PPR but there is also a limit (30-days) to sending PP.

So that is our current status and dilemma.

Don’t know if you are in Lagos, go to the clinic with the boy and beg that you urgently need it done.

@Akannitommy .This is doable if they are in Lagos .You can have your spouse reach out to IOM now to see if they can fix her with a date ,there is a possibility that they may charge her more.Would ask a friend now for the other premedical centre in Lagos i used IOM for my son's medical and I.

Thank God for the progress ooo ,speed all the way.

Update :The second one is Qlife in VI but he said IOM is the best option ,what she can do is to send an email to both IOM and Qlife separately with the medical request form,they will help sort it out and if she does not get a response, she should go to IOM in Ikeja with the slip.

Hope this helps.
