Hello good evening , I have been following this thread please how can one apply I have a Rwandese visa and still valid and my wife is in Nigeria. Tho my reason staying in Rwanda is to go to a better country how do I start this process, I just came across this thread now

gbas gbos ear and dear.

Hi,

For passport transmission, Abuja is still the best in Nigeria. Between one to two weeks, you will get your stamped passport. I noticed from my GCMS notes ordered after arriving in Canada that my TRV for student was affixed in Abuja despite sending through the Lagos VFS. So there is a chance most/all passports end up in Abuja after all.

Please for transmission, just send passport and PPR to VFS: 3rd Floor, Plot, Sterling Bank Plaza, 1083 Mohammadu Buhari Way, Central Business District 900211, Abuja, Nigeria

Do you recall how much to pay?
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi,

Sorry I missed this until I saw your email request. @Eilenora should be able to say how much the transmission fees is because she was at that stage with her hubby recently. However, I remember that apart from passport and PPR, you also need to add the yellow biometric slip, a signed consent form, and preferably to do return courier service with UPS/Fedex/DHL. I can't remember if I missed out anything but if the applicant is sending dox to a VFS location other than the one where they had their biometric taken or if it was taken during a previous application within the last 10-years, then they also need to pay a transmission fee. Please do more research on this or check/ask on the current Canadian student visa thread.

I hope these answer your questions.

Cheers.

Hello,
Can you please share an update on this. Where did you submit and how long before you got your passport back?

Hello Eilenora,
Will like to ask how I would submit passport to VFS now, please.

Just learnt no more in-person submissions.

So I just go to UPS and post passport to::


VFS 3rd Floor, Plot, Sterling Bank Plaza, 1083 Mohammadu Buhari Way, Central Business District 900211, Abuja, Nigeria

Can you please advise cost?
Do I have to pay for return as well?
Anyone has an idea the timeline for return?

Thanks in anticipation

Good morning everyone. My study visa just good approved and would like to know the documents my spouse needs for a spousal open work permit application so that we can start gathering the documents? Also, I would like to know if IELTS is necessary? Thanks.

Wow! Congratulations to you.
IELTS is not necessary.

Please see attached

Kindly please also confirm.

Better you pay for 2 way Courier service so it is brought to your doorstep and it makes things easier for you.

See attached for VFS fee. Hubby submitted on Monday, he has received several notifications from VFS, and would most likely receive his passport back tomorrow. This is VFS fee. For DHL he paid like 14k or so for 2 way courier service

I think this image shows the fee paid for DHL (not VFS). The VFS fee would be paid in Sterling Bank or through bank transfer to a dedicated account - only if they didn't capture biometric in Abuja ab initio.

Yes you are right, just saw this other gtb receipt he sent to me. Also see the requirements that I used during my time.

I tried paying for spousal application processing fee of $Can1,135 with my GTbank ATM naira Mastercard but it was bringing out error message. I don't really know the exchange rate but I have over 500k in the account with the hope that it would be enough no matter how much the exchange rate would be.
Is it possible for me to pay with the GTB card or there's another payment option that could work.
Thanks as I await your kind responses.

You can't do more than $100, so look for someone who has a dorm account with visa or MasterCard and use.

Gtbank card won’t work because is only having $100 limit.

Try to fund barter, though the exchange rate is high 525 to 1 USD

Hello Everyone,

Please can you recommend platforms where I can change naira to cad

Reach out to me, maybe we can work it out.

Good day everyone, please i have two questions when applying for spousal open work permit:

1. Does the student need to show any proof of accommodation? Or just having the proof funds is sufficient.

1. If the student needs to show proof of accommodation, is it okay to present one even if it's a shared apartment?

Thanks in advance for your response

*****APPROVAL ALERT******
Indeed, what God can not do doesn't exist...

I moved to Canada as an international student in August of 2016.
From 2017 till 2021 Feb, I have continued to try to bring my wife to join me, we had applied for:

2 study permits- Refused
3 work permits- Refused

The 6th application I reluctantly submitted as the generic refusals were quite annoying already, but to the glory of God that got approved.

Its been 4 painful years of trying and retrying...
Lots of traveling back and forth to Nigeria..

We had concluded plans to relocate to the UK but God came through at the 11.59th hour.

For all those waiting, may your approvals come knocking soon.

If you ever experience delays, please don't give up, get your Gcms, fix their issues and refire, keep refiring...they will eventually approve.


Time line:

NB-Medical was passed in February, though application was refused.

The medical request came even though we had submitted upfront medicals, we raised series of webforms got no response...they just updated to Pass

Goodluck to all the hopefuls

We are waiting for PR next.....

Amen! Congratulations to you.
I filed my SOWP in April too. May God answer us speedily.

Congratulations Kife. IRCC are just inhuman to have refused your application for 5 times. It’s a whole lot of sacrifice, patience and endurance.

Hi All
Partner just got approved for SOWP on compassionate care reasons.

Anyone travelled from Lagos to Canada recently and can shed some light on the experience? Is the vaccine required? Any quirky things we should expect at the airport?

Thanks!

Congratulations! It’s getting closer to my turn.
What’s her timeline? Vaccine not compulsory but he/she must quarantine at the Canadian Government Hotel.
