Following yesterday's update, we received medical request at 5:00am (Canadian time) this morning for our son who applied for visitor visa, along with the family (SOWP for wife and Study permit for older siblings). Any tips/plugs/slots on how to achieve this quickly? NB: his visa type was due to his age (under 2 years) while the others passed their own medicals same week as the application was submitted back in May.
Congrats brother i dey come downtown oooo for the celebration. Chai not easy.

Can you send the response you got for the rest?
You can blur important details , just want to see what it looks like .

Akannitommy:
Thanks guys. The thing just dey do me like magic. I have just received 3 emails from IRCC in respect of the travel exemption authorization that we applied for on 26th August. The one for my son (visitor) was approved (per email subject) while those for the rest says courtesy in the email title. All three emails says applications are in process and a decision will be communicated soonest while also saying if they need additional documents they will let me know. I think these are simply procedural but the feeling and vibes is definitely positive. Looking like its TGIF already!

NB: I have emailed Qlife and will do same for IOM shortly. I attached the medical request and passport for my son, as well as proof that the others have completed their medicals in May. We will explore and deploy all options. Will the house posted soonest!

My person, we re here; I all so so optimistic that the floodgates of approvals will OPEN SOON. The September 20th Federal Elections will work in our favour; either before, or immediately after. Christmas in Canada is a done deal!

I reached out to an immigration consultant to ask and she said it does not apply to SOWP.

Also my thinking, reapplying just seems like one is going back to the back of the queue to me.

This update from @Akannitommy is also a confirmation that applications are being looked at. We just pray that they make it faster.
That information is actually on ircc website. What i dont understand is if i am to reapply for my kids.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Stonehenge83: 9:57pm On Sep 10, 2021
Seen it also, but is it applicable to SOWP or just visitors visa?

My brother I just tire for IRCC, they can be weird these days. My country of residence wasn’t Nigeria, I didn’t apply from Nigeria, 98% my documents are not from Nigeria only police report thingy and property document proof. Still my application was sent to Nairobi. I just tire!

But your passport says Nigerian and you are submitting home ties to Nigeria with those property and police report.

In 2019, I submitted for my wife from Dubai, nothing from a Nigeria and it was sent to Abu Dhabi.

IRCC is a really unpredictable organization, we rely on grace and favor from God.

Hi all, is port of entry letter needed for visitors visa because I didn't receive the letter of introduction for my kids, only received for my spouse after visa stamp. Also for kids that enter Canada with visitors' visa, will they be issued study permit at the port of entry? thanks

Hello Everyone...please is it appropriate to use a SOWP to birth a baby in Canada If my spouse is schooling there?
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Lianna2020: 4:49pm On Sep 12, 2021
I think the kids will be issued visitors permit since that's what they applied for.
They can swap to school once they are in.

hi, my humble opinion. SWOP is taking a lot of time now so the sooner you submit the application the better, however waiting till december may not be the best idea. how about you apply ASAP, leave in a month so you can get the study permit and SIN, gather a semesters worth of result and arrange accommodation and other important things down and upload all of them via webform as additional documents to prove you are a genuine student. everybody on this timeline has been waiting quite a while for SWOP, personally i have been waiting since May and there are ppl still a bit worse. may it all end in praise for all of us.

Greetings everyone. I am an international student in Canada and about to apply for open work permit for my spouse and visitior visa for my child. Can I use my GCKEY to apply for them or do I have to create a new GCKEY using my spouse details? Thanks
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Akannitommy: 2:24pm On Sep 13, 2021
I will also support that you go ahead and apply since you mentioned your husband and not children - so am assuming there are no kids yet, right? If there are kids and you are starting in the Fall 2021 then I would say wait until you arrive in Canada before you apply for them all. But also depending on several things like age of kid(s), term of first enrollment (whether Fall 2021 or Winter 2022), commencement in-person or online before arrival etc, you may need to apply now and then send additional documents upon landing. The earlier you apply or travel the better for the application processing. Give yourself between 3 to 4 months for the application processing considering the current timelines. It shall end in praises.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Akannitommy: 2:28pm On Sep 13, 2021
I and most people I know created a totally new GCKEY for spouse then add the kids on to that account. I have also heard but not seen a few people said it is possible to use your own as well. What I have done is what I can comment on so I would say just create another for your spouse and do this as if it was them doing it from Nigeria. Best of luck
