May 27th Applicant. Sowp and study permits for my children. Did upfront medicals

Everyone keep pushing, don't get tired or depressed. If they won't let you sleep, don't let them sleep!. A day before PPR eligibility had not even started.

I did the Travel Authorization too, it seems it expedited the process.

Thanks a lot for this.

I was refused June 9. I wanted to reapply June 10, but I hadn't paid tuition.

So I went to Stanbic bank on June 10 to open a current account. I had to wait for a week before getting the new account. And so, on June 17, I filled in Form A for tuition payment. It took two weeks to process tuition payment... I don't know why.

I still waited for my university to send receipt, so that was like another four days or so. I got debited on Friday, and had to wait till Tuesday to get my CIBC receipt. And then I got payment receipt from the University a day after.

On July 4, I vetted all documents, LOE... They were all 3.95+mb for each section. July 6, I submitted my application.

Reasons for my first refusal
1. Purpose of visit
2. Home tie


I wrote two separate LOEs to tackle both; one for each concern. Honestly, one LOE should suffice, but I was determined to make this my last application. I decided to give it my best.

Purpose of visit was a wrong judgment by the VOs. So I explained in 4 pages why there must have been a misunderstanding. I did serious explanation, breaking things down.

But most importantly, I was honest and revealed my vulnerable side. Since I knew I wasn't doing anything wrong, I decided to be myself. My intentions were real, not deceitful, and my goals were clearly stated.

Hometies had about 6 pages explanation. I was very particular about this one. I just had to write it to the best of my ability. Again, Honesty worked for me. I revealed some very personal reasons I would have to come back home. And then, I made mention of several assets.

One thing with home tie is, there are four types, I believe...

Hometie to one's spouse, children, or parents... Explanation must be exhaustive.
Hometie to one's land, business, houses
Hometie to community responsibilities, roles... Sufficient proof must be provided
Hometie to place of work... Employer gives you a study leave.

I noticed one thing.

SOP (or LOE) is very very very important.

Whatever you state in your LOE/SOP, attach documents to prove them.

This is why each section of my application space was approximately 4mb.


Thanks a lot once again

Dear Nairaland family,

It has finally dropped ooooo! Glory be to God Almighty!!!!

Sister's application
AOR: Feb 11 2021
Program: Practical nursing May 2021 (Sheridan college)- clearly can't go for May 2021 anymore due to delay, will go for Jan 2022 session!
Upfront medical : April 28, 2021 ( we said let's do medical to see if it will speed things up, lol jokes)
Medical passed: June 14, 2021 (just see how long it took them to update medical!)
Eligibility started: July 23, 2021
PPR and correspondence letter: this morning July 27th @ 4:34am!

What a wait! Basically this application took 5 months and 16 days. I remember I considered withdrawing the application at some point, but you all encouraged me to hold on! During this waiting period, 3 gcms notes were ordered and the fourth one has been ordered as well. All the gcms notes received didn't have much info as eligibility was blank. Each time I got the gcms notes, I was always disappointed that eligibility was blank. Now that I think of it, I guess it's not a bad thing...

I just want to use this medium to thank everyone for their support through out this journey! This is a wonderful platform and we all draw strength and hope from one another! One thing that helped me during the long wait was seeing other people's approval postings. I was always encouraged by those success stories. I remember telling myself that my testimony was near when DD097 and demure got approved as we all applied around the same time and faced this delay..

In short, this is a wonderful platform and I hope more people get to know about the wonderful support we have here! Thanks to all the gurus and everyone that tries to assist others with their questions! If you have any questions for me , please feel free to ask here so others can learn from it ! I'm rooting for all my co- February applicants and any one with a delayed application and of course everyone on here , that you will all get a favourable response soon in Jesus name!

Cheers to more success stories !

Hi @residenttourist,

Congrats on your approval.

If your first kid is above 4 years old, she/he will need to apply for study visa, (if) I assume the kid holds a Nigerian passport.

I can't comment much on the US citizens although I have one too but my school's immigration advisor (a lawyer) advised that I apply for a study visa for her too which I did and currently awaiting the outcome. I remember she said the kid cannot attend school in Canada unless she has a study permit and I didn't want to risk it. I think the main concern may be whether the kid can travel to Canada at this time with a US passport since there are still travel restrictions between both countries. Moreso, with a US passport, you can only claim short visit purpose that will be classified as non-essential travel. These are just my thoughts but I suggest you let more experienced folks chip in, especially those with direct and very recent experiences.

My comment on your hubby's prospect is similar to the logic above in respect of your other kids. Your hubby is eligible for Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP). Clearly, you are aware of this but do not think it is a wise decision to pursue that route now and I understand where you may be coming from. So here is my two cent. Your hubby can apply for a visitor visa but the chances of success is very low for two reasons. One, it is not the logical visa category the VO expects the spouse of an international student to apply for. So you will need a very tidy application to succeed on this factor. Two, visitors are not essential travellers to Canada right now and so most visitors visa will be stepped down to create room for priority applications - two of which may be the students and spousal open work categories.

Finally, depending on what route(s) you decide to take, it is advisable that you arrive in Canada before you commence their visa application process. This is because there are important supporting documents that you will not be able to access until you land in Canada e.g. study permit issued at the port of entry. To further improve their chances of success, it is often suggested [but not required] that you commence studies and if possible complete at least a semester so you can show progress through your academic transcripts.

Wishing you and your family the very best in whatever decision you take.

Hello Gurus in the house. If one has previously been denied a U.S visa and has ticked that he was previously denied visa, should one dwell ot while applying for Canada visa. What aspect should I include and how can I deeply on it in my application?
