Thank you for response. I have been waiting for someone to respond.
I have contacted the MP incharge of my constituency because I was told I can't reach out to any outside where I reside.
My question is really centered on their influence or impact on the application. What exactly is their duty aside checking the status of the application? On a low key are they checking and also fasttracking?

No, Mp can not impact visa decision.

Hi guys,
Please I need your advice. I recently got my Canadian study visa approved about 2 weeks ago. But a week before the approval of my visa I and my spouse got married and I submitted her application with a “New account” as a “Principal applicant” with sufficient funds. So I am planning to defer my admission till May because I don’t want to leave her behind due to her health condition. Though I’m planning to travel to Canada in January but return after 2 weeks without enrolment.

I would like to know if it’s a good decision to travel without enrolment and return.

Also, I would like to know if there are any other things that I need to do because I created another account for her as a principal applicant when I wanted to apply for her SOWP
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Uzomachukwuu: 1:08pm On Nov 18, 2022
As a student, one of the documents you'll need to be allowed to travel to Canada is your letter of enrollment. Without it, I doubt if you'll be allowed entry into Canada.

You can of course enrol while in Nigeria, print out the letter of enrollment, travel to Canada, unenroll in your first two weeks there, and then return to Nigeria (immediately).

But I personally dont see why you'd want to enter Canada as a student and then leave again without starting any classes. Why not simply wait till May to (hopefully) travel with your spouse without the back-and-forth movement?

Canada no dey run o!

Why should they be averse to a visit visa though? You’re aware there is a “Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada class sponsorship” for Canadians whose partners are in canada. Apparently processing time is a lot faster than when your partner is not in canada. A friend who is a PR is taking this route and already processing same for his wife.

They are fully acknowledged in my application, thanks
When you are a PR it is almost impossible to get TRVs for your family members. I just applied for my citizenship but my wife's spousal sponsorship has been pending since February 2022. Applications are done based on how IRCC feels about the individual application. So some are approved after few months, others are hanging forever. Your friend's is different from yours.

That’s rough, being away from your family for so long.
I understand every application is different but we won’t know until we try, besides applying for a visit visa wouldn’t affect a spousal sponsorship application. That’s the whole point of dual intent which is also conflicting by itself. It’s a lot of blurred lines to be honest but God dey.

Become a PR first. Even visit visa application is not any faster. That would be waste of everything though.

Thanks for the advice bro.

I'm researching an alternative though, but I am not a 100% clear yet on of it would work.

I know post AOR you can apply to add your spouse if your marital status changes, but is this the only condition? Can i add my spouse post AOR even if we were married before then? My spouse would have fulfilled some conditions that would still maintain my current CRS score mid next year. This way she can come with me as a PR.

What are your thoughts?

Do you mean the cash is low? My Hubby needs 4,000 CAD and my kids 3,000 each = 12,000 cad in total, and the total amount in his personal acct is a 9.8million naira, Business account is 3 million Naira ... And the attached rental income also is there ..

Am in school and already paid 20,000 CAD out of my school fees, this is my first semester.

Reason for refusal: Insufficient funds and not satisfied you will return.

Congratulations on your PPR.

Please I would like to ask how you sent IRCC Mails to update your upfront medicals..

I have done upfront medical since September 2 and they have not updated it on my application.

Kindly help on this. How do I go about it.

Thanks and congratulations once more!!

Either of you can open the GCkey, it doesn’t matter. The difference is that if you are the one opening the GCKey and filling in the application, you would need to fill the use of representative form. Also you can start the application to see all the required documentation. Most important for me will be your POF and SOP stating why you need them to come.
Thank you very much.
Please, all the forms, which one needs a physical signature, is it the use of representative alone or using the applicant names can suffice for the signature.

Also, the work experience section says list work done for the past 10 years, and only 3 columns available, while the work experience is more than 3, how can I add to it? Thank you
