We kept hope alive, and applied for entry via compassionate grounds. First application was denied due to filling an outdated form. Second application was approved within 24 hours.

How do you apply for entry via compassionate ground? And who does the application, my wife in Canada or I here?

Your response will be appreciated. Congrats on your approval.

Stonehenge83:
And any link to the application portal or form?

For compassionate entry - you need to take the letter of required support form to a medical practitioner in Canada. The doctor would state the medical reason why you need support.

Your wife would then submit the form to PHAC for their decision.

Your wife would be the one to apply for visa to IRCC and submit the letter of required support to PHAC.

We forwarded the compassionate entry approval to IRCC using the travel exemption link and we were granted approval one week later that is, early Aug.

Hello,

Is there a list of conditions that qualify on this compassionate ground?

I ask because am not sure how or what to tell the health care person in Canada that make me qualify. Basically, I want my family here for mental health support (which could be broadly defined and difficult to proof). Maybe for social connection/family reunification (very relevant in my case as a PhD student here since December and with a wife and 3 kids back home).

Can you please specific on how to achieve this and whether there is a chance for someone like me? This is also because most SOWP applicants (students with a family back home) will likely fall in my situation regardless of degree type/level.

Thanks so much in anticipation.

Hello House,

Please a friend has just been approved her study visa. She plans to travel to Canada with her husband and sons.

Please how can she go about applying for SOWP while in Nigeria, and if she is advised to apply for visiting visa for them, will she need an invitation letter?

FYsol:
All she currently has is just a study visa. Study permit will be issued at POE. Which is what she will use while filling for SOWP or any other dependent visa.

Hello everyone good evening. I am from the student thread, although my PPR hasn't been approved yet I'd like to make enquiries about SOWP so I can know how to go about it once my study permit is approved.

I am currently engaged and applied single but plan to do my court wedding before I travel so I can apply for SOWP for my fiance once I get to Canada.

However, I would like to enquire if it's possible to apply for SOWP for him without an undergraduate. He currently has only WAEC certificate and although he's presently a student of NOUN he is not done yet and so therefore no degree certificate. He once started OND in Yabatech but never completed it so presently his highest educational qualification is WAEC.

Although he's an entrepreneur with a business, good pof and account statement I'd like to know if it's possible to apply for SOWP without an actual undergraduate degree.

Or is it advisable to wait until after he is done with school in NOUN and use the degree certificate to apply.

I tried reading through previous pages but I did not see any list for documents required for SOWP.

I would really appreciate your input and advice on this and it is a dilemma that has been on my mind. Thank you.

Education isn't a formal requirement for an openwork permit.

Being that you already filed single- make sure you supply proof beyond reasonable doubt that you guys are truly married.

Document him as an entrepreneur and furnish proof of business and ties to home country Nigeria.

In my experience, the most important element of this application is:

1. Establishing the proof that you have sufficient home ties to compel you to return back home at the expiration of your permit.

2. For people married post-approval, proof beyond reasonable doubt that this is a legitimate marriage- if you stated married pre-approval, this is easier.

3. Sufficient economic and financial resources must be demonstrated clear enough that an officer has no doubts.

4. For those applying under case C41 (spouse of foriegn worker) please ensure that your job letter is well detailed to clearly express that you meet the eligibility requirements of NOC 0,A or B.

For Case C40 (spouse of international students) you must clearly establish in a letter of explanation that the presence of your partner is integral to your success as an international student.

5.Take time to arrange your documents in as much details as possible as some of these officers don't fully understand the impact of separation on marriages.

6. Please pray, pray and pray �

Goodluck to everyone.

Thank you for your response. I understandthat part. I am only asking if it's possible to apply for SOWP while in Nigeria, she wants her family to accompanyher. And if she is applying for VisitingVisa, does she need to write a letter of invitatio?

FYsol:
She cant. She doesnt have a status in Canada that will qualify her spouse for SOWP yet. Study visa approval is not a status. Anyone can apply for a visitor visa at anytime. She will try to make her case.

But would this still be applicable with the changes to travel rules.

I understand that compassionate entry using the travel exemption link was when there was massive restrictions.

Also when you say you filled an outdated form. which is the outdated form and which is the updated one?
