Divine Speed: Wife and Daughter's approval. Application was made on Aug 1 just after my student visa approval. Just landed Canada and wife's SOWP and Daughter's visa approved on 06 September .

Wishing everyone waiting here divine speed!

A little advice please apply for Gcms Note and stop assuming. be patient Canada is here and not going anywhere

Carlz1:
Please note, I’m reapplying. I’ve been denied before

Congratulations Bro. Happy that you made it out successfully with your application. Its not easy at all. Just to chip in some advice to you. bear in mind that when you get here in Canada, there are struggles too no matter what the system gives out but definitely you will be glad that you left Nigeria for Canada. But sometimes you will have the feelings to wanna go home and make changes, visit your people but the fact is that "No one in Nigeria will encourage you to come at all" to the extent that if you insist of coming they all think you are cursed . All the same be ready for challenges in class, Laboratory, environment and the weather and above all I wish you all the best.

God bless you richly! I found a brother in you within a short time of meeting you. You have such a large heart and God in his infinite goodness will bless you richly! You really helped me a great deal! The advices you gave were amazing man! @jnyuwa keep fooling around. You claim to have lived in the US for 18 years yet you are here claiming to pursue student visa. I won't join words with you cause I have read through most of your comments and they tell alot about you!

So sorry my brother. But you kept applying over and over again without applying for GCMS note. The last time you are supposed to do that, did you?

Carlz1:
Application refused
Paper route
Applied 27th July
Eligibility began 18th August

I actually wonder if they go through documents provided. I’m really surprised.

I’m to resume in January so I plan on reapplying for the last time and I want to do it all by myself and I want to use the online route this time. Please I need all the support I can get. Thanks

I did that on monday. I even copied Lagos office and I got an automated message from London stating that they have received it. No response yet. But Lagos office also replied that the application is on active review blablabla....which I know it was a generic message too because same message was sent to a friend too. so we are hoping on God.

Jimmychuks2018:
Brother I suggest you email London by Monday.

HERE'S OUR TIMELINE/DETAILS.

My wife's first application was refused based on:

1. No personal finance (we did not add her statement of account).
2. No home ties.
3. Travel experience.
4. Purpose of visit.
5. They also said they are not sure we were married.
6. Said the husband (myself) did not include transcript to show that I am enrolled full time.


That application was submitted on June 17, 2017 and refused on September 29, 2017 - NO MEDICAL (Paper application, Abuja).

*** At this time, my wife was few months pregant and we mentioned that in her SOP. So I guess they thought she was coming here to give birth.

We waited for 6 Months+ for my wife to deliver. And re-applied April 2018 after baby clocked 3 months.

TIMELINES:

Submitted Online: April 30th.
Biometrics: May 3rd.
Medical Request: August 13th
Medical Done: August 14th.

Baby's Passport Request: August 23rd.

- Passport Data Pages (with Dubai Stamp)
- Marriage Docs - Certificates, Affidavit of change of name.
- Courtship/Marriage/Pregancy/Family Photos.
- Letter of Local Government Identification (Wifey & I are from same LGA - to buttress how we met).
- Dubai Trip Flight Tickets, Hotel Booking, Visas (our honeymoon).
- Previous Application Refusal (GCM Note).

*We also added my wife's 2nd account to show monies I sent to her long before we got married...that account stil bear her maiden name. Just to prove our relationship before marriage.

B. SPOUSE STUDENT STATUS

- Letter of Enrollment
- Official Academic Transcripts
- Study Permit
- Co-op Work Permit
- Health Insurance & School ID Card
- 8 Months Internship Contract with Government Ministry (June - Jan)
- Internship funding letter/offer
- Invitation Letter & proof that I can accommodate them.
- Tenancy Agreement - to show I have enough space.
- Invitation Letter from my School (Int'l Student office).

C. PROOF OF FUNDS

- Wife's 6 months statement - salary account (N1.5M Balance)
- My 6 months Canadian Bank Statement (Balance: $35,659CAD).
- My 6 months Nigerian Bank Statement (GTB DOM: Balance: $37,000+USD).
- My Internship Funding Contract ($25,000CAD for 8 months).

- My landed properties (3 different lands)
- My other two companies' CAC certificates (registered in 2014)
- Our family photo during our wedding to show we have a family to return to after our stay - a great asset).

OTHER THINGS

- We made sure her SOP covered all the things pointed out in the GCM note.
- I contacted the MP in my area for help, his office called and emailed CIC countless times on my behalf. This was more potent because I currently work with a Government Ministry.
- And then lots of wait and hope in God.

Those are the much I can recall about our application. We had to add as much as we can to prove every doubt they raised in the first application. Thanks guys for all your stories and advise here. They were of great help in compiling all the documents we submitted. I wish all of us success. God will do it for us all SOON!

I guess @StudentsNG has said it all. Apply for everyone.

remaj:
Spouse is in canada or student permit someone advised me to summit my application first if granted I can use mine and hubby information to apply for the kids immediately not leaving them behind
As a guru that was why I asked for your opinion
Thanks

I dont get you? where is your spouse? If your spouse is here in Canada as a student or under PGWP, why will you want to leave your kids behind? It does not make sense. my thought.

remaj:
Good evening
@wealth360 pls can I apply for sowp for myself now and use my kids as home tie
What's your advice will apply for them once mine is approved
Thank you

Hi Ope, well I will advice you dont reply to those responses like you did. they are trying to make you see reasons why the question is not a profitable one but in an harsh manner. please if you have that mindset of coming to work without enrollment in the school is dangerous. people do it alot here not only Nigerians, but mind you IRCC always contact the various learning institutions to know how well all international students are doing and also to know if there are enrolled in their various program. you can work and be enrolled in your program and as a graduate student you can work for 20hours a week which is fair enough. but please do not try to work with your study permit without enrollment. thanks

Opeblaqwell:
Good morning house . How easy is it to get a job in canada ? And is it possible to work with a study permit in canada without getting enrolled with your direct learning institite ? Please anyone

Hello my people. Please is anyone coming to Usask next week or before the end of August, please I need help to bring an envelope for me here. more details will be discuss if anyone is willing to help. Thanks

To TRV hopeful, "The wait that you guys are going through is attached to a promise" I pray all the wait will not be in vain In Jesus Name. Amen. All the Best Guys and do not forget Habakkuk 2:3.

Cheers
Cc @Jnyuwa02(you still dey vex for me bah?)

Any News so far?

Hello remaj. Sorry I cant give enough details about your request but am very sure you will get enough information on what you need if you can take time to go through the page very well or randomly. you will see same refusal case like yours and how it was tackled and also list of documents you required. Cheers

remaj:

Medical passed today. We keep hopes alive!

Your husband need to visit a police station in canada for application of finger print, after he has done his finger print, he can send it down to you and thats what you take to alagbon for his police character certificate. Also am not sure if he scan the finger print to you. you might wanna confirm that. Thanks

Bab5:
Yes...I want to use it for PR application. I know mine will be easy since am still in Nigeria, not sure how to get it for my husband, I need info about it before heading to alagbon. Thank you.

Baba God NONI.............Thank you Jesus. Its our turn of Joy on this thread, testimonies will never seize in Jesus Name.

Jesus did it on a Monday morning. Passport Request my people. It can only be God. After One Study Permit and SOWP Denial. I'm serving the Lord of Miracle, I Know, Yes I Know. ****singing

That was the message she got from VFS after she did her Biometric not necessarily the place where her application was treated.

Ajayi4:


The tracking message on my wife's email from VFS shows our application is being treated in Lagos. It says your application.....has be forwarded to Canadian visa office, Lagos. I guess ours is being treated in Lagos. My thought though.

Seems all online application is been treated in London or Lagos. It is well my people

LDNIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca or london-im-enquiry@international.gc.ca

bode777:


So I called CIC straight from Naija today (+1 613 944- 4000 to enquire on my application. The Agent sympathized with me and asked that I Contacted London Office where my Application is being processed. She sent me a mail to contact London office. I'm gonna have to do case enquiry straight to London office, cos I can't see a number or email to reach them on. Can't anyone help with this?

You can call the line above to get info on processing office of ur application. Load better credit on your phones shaa.

Which visa office treated your application?

Ajayi4:
Hello everybody on the thread. I am a silent reader on this thread, and I appreciate the contributions of you guys.

Jimmychuks2018:
Got the correspondence letter today as well. Still my children's international passport is still been held in the high commission probably because of the medical, I went to children's practice last Monday and they said I should come on Thursday. I went to vfs today to collect my children's passport, still no show. Please guys am having a mix feeling here. Will share my documents soon.

.

Maybe you should give them till this weekend again. if no response then you gats send them email to the various Visa processing offices.But am very sure a little patience will do actually. you have waited for 20weeks, then remove mind there and do other things my brother. It will surely come since they invited you for medicals, am certain

bode777:


My People, I'm Worried oh. Its 6 weeks after Medical passed and nothing yet. No response on the case specific inquiry. I thought they do not take time again after medical request and medical passed.
What do suggest my people?
