Note wife is the student. She s still in Nigeria planning to travel for September

Her approval didn't come out till Jan 2022.

We intend to address this refusal reason.
Please help
Am not a vo but from the bolded above i will also refuse the application. You cannot want to bring in ur family and not have ur personal funds. Ask almost everyone here ur personal statement of account is required either urs or ur spouse own. Uncle how? Thats not a acceptable. U are not studying u are going to be responsible to someones finances which is that of ur spouse already in canada. The best now is borrow money to build ur spouse account or wait till he can afford to put his own money in the account either ways his statement of account and urs is required especially if he claims u are working or doing business.
Note that he also needs to show proof of tuition payment too when he reapplies for you or when u reapply as well as some money for his upkeep. Now you need 5k cad for yourself and 4kcad per child. So since it is u and him plus one child i guess then an excess of 15k cad with evidence of tuition payment shud fly.

Good morning all,pls i need suggestion from anyone that has been in my situation before,my wife and son got medical request on the 15th of june and they were able to do it on the 27th,my son's medical was passed on the 28th while my wife's isn't and its just few days to the 30days window,what should i do?
Secondly,we stated in the application that my wife is pregnant,now my wife gave birth last week,should we send a webform to notify ircc or wait till we get ppr then apply for baby's own separately .
I WILL ADVISE THAT YOU CONTACT THE HOSPITAL YOUR WIFE DID MEDICAL AND BE SURE IT WAS SENT TO IRCC BECAUSE SOMETIMES IRCC MIGHT REQUEST FOR EXTRA MEDICAL AND THE HOSPITALS DONT COMMINICATE ON TIME THIS WAS THE CASE FOR MY SON ALTHOUGH HIS WAS UPFRONT MEDICALS? IF IT WAS SENT, THEN MESSAGE IRCC VIA WEBFORM AND EMAIL THE SLIP THEY GAVE YOUR WIFE FOR THE MEDICAL SO THAT IT CAN BE UPDATED TOO FOR YOUR WIFES PPR TO DROP. THEN YOU CAN NOW SEND ANOTHER WEBFORM ATTACHING THE DOCUMENTS THAT @SWEETJJ LISTED AS WELL AS A DETAILED LETTER OF EXPLANATION TOO. ALSO TRY AND GET A PASSPORT FOR THE CHILD ASAP BECAUSE THE PROCESS IS MORE THAN AN HERCULEAN TASK.

Guys, please help me. How do you attach the IMM forms to Open Work Permit application? Do you just;
(1) fill the forms, save and attach to the application or
(2) fill the forms, print, sign and then attach as PDF?
I ask because there's a place to sign on some of the forms and I don't know how to sign it electronically.

Also, can merge other documents to the various sections? For instance, in the space where you have "Passport" can i merge previous visas with it?


Somebody help please
U fill it online please do not sign it use the latest adobe reader it will work. The only authentication needed is your name i think.

Hello All,

Please can being in the express entry pool lead to reversal of my spouse sowp. We are yet to apply for the sowp. Will I use my profile or my spouse profile for the sowp.

NB: I am the one with study permit
For canada visa application dual intent is allowed so far the visa types are not of the same category. So having Express entry application and sowp or vv is allowed

[quote author=jogojogo post=114486902]Did you respond to the generic mail?
If not,kindly respond to it.
I'm my own case, eligibility Review started 30th of May. I later did upfront medical and was updated as passed 2 weeks ago. No update since then.
What I can say is, you just need a little more patience. Your case is almost done.
Once a while raise a webform and email to present the case to IRCC.
Finally, when did you do your medical and when was it updated as passed?[/quote

Did you get medical request? Or u did upfront medical

Congrats, please in case you get the sample letter of intent, I will like to have it also.

Can anyone explain the difference btw letter of purpose and letter of explanation
Letter of purpose also know as statement of purpose to the VO for a fresh applicant that is a first time applicant, while Letter of explanation LOE is to accompany an initial sop for a second or third time applicant whose initial visa application was denied. This letter is to explain the concerns raised by the VO and how best you have worked on it and made the required ammendments

Good morning house

Please do I need to send the e-medical slip given to my family at qlife to ircc before their medicals can be updated?

They did their medicals last week Thursday but it's yet to be updated by IRCC
My advice is that u call qlife and plead with then to send the result on time because even if u send the e-medical form no VO will update your profile except when the hospital results arrive. There are cases where one might need to do extra medical due to one situation or the other and as a result no VO will base his approval on just you doing the medical exam. Anyway that is why it is called examination because they are concerned about the results. So the medical will not be updated until IRCC receives the doctors report.

Thank you

Please can you help with reasons I can use in the Letter of Explanation

Can I submit 3months account instead of the normal 4 months
Submitting 3months statement might not work oo why not make it the least of 4months. Reasons for him to come join you should be emotional showing u need him to settledown and to help u cope emotionally. If you have kids u can come from the angle that u might not be completely focus knowing fully well your kids are away.
Talk about the bond u share and all the things u guys do together.
Your hometies also matters alot in making this happen. He must also provide a very strong home tie

My husband and I applied for study permit about the same time, I got an approval (1yr graduate study at centennial) while he got a refusal. I am set to resume by sep 2022. He was denied because the VO was not satisfied he will leave Canada based on personal asset and financial status, purpose of visit, current employment situation and travel history.

Please advise on the best route for his application (spouse or visit)?
How soon can I apply for him?
Some people said I can't invite him because I am studying in a college. How true is this please?

We have requested for gcms note, but we are thinking of what we can be putting in place before we get the gcms note. Please advise

Thank you
Madam you already have a smoking gun so the ball is now in ur court. Since your study permit has been approved your best bet is sowp. Let me tell you why, becos your hubby has applied for study permit before the Vo might see a visit visa as been submitted out of desperation so my suggestion of SOWP. Now if i were you i would suggest u apply nigeria before you go so it starts counting. Once you are an internayional student whether college or university you can invite your spouse but how you go about it determines the success of the whole process. I applied while i was still in nigeria like 2weeks before finally i travelled last year july. And as we speak my kids application has been approved and my spouse got a medical request becos her initial medical expired on june 22 still hoping for her approval though but it looks good. When you apply u can add the remaining documents when u arrive Canada via webform i mean study permit and SIN.

Please a friend want to add me to his Business CAC documents and put me as partnership, I want to use the business as part of my home tire and use the bank statement as part of my proof of fund, I don't know if will go well, I also want to put in my letter of explanation that the company want to go into tourism and that's why we need me to go and study tourism, Please any ideas. Thanks, I want to claim that we own the business together
Good idea but the proof of fund can only work if u do either of two things
1. Pay ur tuition or a tuition deposit from that account
2. Or the compnay transfer from that account the equivalent of ur tuition or living expenses to your account now in this case you need to keep the transaction reference date and time put it in ur sop and also attach a bank receipt for the transaction as evidence.
If you use method 1, u need to also state it in ur sop date and time and also provide a transaction evidence as well as school receipt. My opinion oooo.

Regarding this PCR test, my husband is on his way to Canada now and he's flying Egypt air.
He didn't do Covid/PCR test but they asked for it at 3 different points. He said he just presented his vaccination card and the ArriveCan email, and that was it. I don't know if we can conclude that these 2 documents can suffice in place of the PCR test.
Thanks for this insight. We will use this method.

Hi Adebamfem

Sorry for the delay.

This is July, it's not impossible for you to meet up with September resumption date. Act fast.

In addition to your proposal below, add birth certificates of birth of your parents and siblings. Show pictures of you and your parents together and then that of your siblings. State how you support your parents (financially and otherwise) and how much you would return to Nigeria to continue to care for them.

Wishing you success.
Very correct too thats a very good angle too.

This was the post
1. You need covid 19 test to enter the plane but not to enter canada. At the point of entry they wont require covid 19 test from you but to enter the plane it remains a requirement.
2. You do not need to book a return ticket you sowp can easily be renewed within Canada so a return ticket is not required.

Please help I was denied and the visa officer reply was that I do not have significant family tie outside of Canada,school resumes in September 6,please can I meet up if I reapply and can I add documents like study leave in the new application, cuz I have a friend who is willing to give me study leave and appointment letter from his dad office, can I do a court wedding with my fiance and add the marriage certificate to it also as a proof of home tie, Thanks
In my previous application I included my house documents and my lands all on my name, but I just did affidavit of return after study
• I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay. I am refusing your application because you have not established that you will
leave Canada, based on the following factors:
• You do not have significant family ties outside Canada
Now i will strongly suggest you request for your GCMS notes it will be more specific on what the thoughts of the VO is. Aside this i will like to ask do you have ur nuclear family members in Canada already? If yes then you need to look for a stronger bond to tie yourself to nigeria. Using your spouse if you eventually get married isnt a good idea because i am sure you will eventually want her to be with you and these VOs will be trying to make sure ur ties dont leave.
Now the job offer could be used as a strong bond of return along side the affidavit of return as well as your properties if well channelled. Get the job offer, get and introduction letter from the same establishment stating what you are doing there, how much you earn per annum and your contibution to the establishment. Get another letter again from the same company stating their support for your studies and this will include them putting in writing that they will support your studies abroad by still paying your renumeration while on study leave and that upon return you will be given full benefits with a promotion to a higher position and a salary raise. Now in your LOE you will need to put a legal tune on the bond of return that your career hinges on it in that if you dont return they could sue you and sue your guarantor that stood for you while you were away and this will badly affect your career and could also land your guarantor a jail term. Let a lawyer sign and get it notorized.
Then you will need to do an evaluation of all your properties in ur name let them know the worth in cash signed by a lawyer and notorized by a notory public.
[/b]Note that all these job pertaining letters must be on the company letter head and duely signed.[b]
Your application should fly that way. Just my view though hear from others
