Hello Everyone, I got the passport request from IRCC last week and submitted my Passport with UPS paying for a return courier. This morning, i got an sms with account details to pay N9,930 as passport transmission fee and forward the evidence to canadang@vfshelpline.com. I also got a call this morning to reiterate the sms i got earlier. I need to know if this is the process before i proceed with the payment.

Pls i checked my SOWP tracker and i discovered medical completed of which medical was passed on Feb 10, Biometric and Background check in progress while eligibility not started. On March 18, there was an update but didn't know what was updated ecause there was no changes on my dashboard. On April 19, there was another update stating showing that biometric has been completed leaving background check in progress and eligibity not started. I thought eligibility is usually the first thing to do before going to the next stage of any application and what might might be the ghost update gotten in March 18.

Hey guys

I need advice on my application. Me and my wife are tired and frustrated at the moment.

My wife is at Canada on study permit.

I applied for SOWP via an agent(Tar global) June 18th, 2022 and did my biometric June 23rd 2023. The last update on my application was medical exam passed which was on July 22nd, 2022. Since then, there was not update on my application. My wife went to meet the MP for her province to make enquiries about my application Early Dec, he got back saying IRCC said they are not sure if I am eligible for SWOP hence her study permit is missing from the application. We contacted the agent about it, they sent a proof that her permit was uploaded. Anyway, My wife went to drop the study permit with MP 1st week of jan so he can send it to IRCC. 2 days later, IRCC confirmed(via MP) they have seen the permit. We should wait since we are still within the waiting period. Waiting period expired on Jan 18th, there is still no update.

Jan 31st, the agent contacted me that IRCC has changed the requirement for SWOP so they want to be proactive by sending my wife's Transcript and enrollment letter. Up till now, there is no update. I don't know what to do. Any advice can go a long way. Thanks

Timeline
June 18th: Application submitted
June 23rd: Biometirc completed
July 22nd: Medical passed
Dec 18th: MP confirmed study permit is missing
Jan 4th: We gave MP study permit so he can send it to IRCC
Jan 6th: MP confirmed that IRCC has seen the study

Congrats to everyone that got PPR recently.

Hello, Please what's the latest processing time for SOWP?

Abbeybaba:
Please, I have question, if I am applying for SOWP for myself and my children, do I need to state there that I will resign my work here in Nigeria.
Please anyone can help me with samples letters of explanation and introduction. Google can help my friend. Trsut me, you can develop one for yourself.
What is difference between letter of explanation and sop. No difference

Thanks

Rasakiopoewa:
Thanks bud but won't spouse application be considered a new application since the sponsorer is in canada already not as if all of them is applying together.Sorry to ask, do we get application approved by nairobi on this amount? A guy said in our group 19k in the morning! I can only show 14,500 for the applicant and 2 minor for now. Is that good enough?

PrinceAdeAde:
Hello all

Pls if ur visa is already approved but medical expired before you left and u already done a new one,do u have to wait till its passed before you can travel or the fact u have done a new one is sufficient

I ask coz the letter on introduction states when the medical expires so i thought one would need an updated LOI before travelling.its an SOWP

Please if u have experienced this,kindly assit as i need to travel very soon

BrandProtection:
Guys I need some clarification. When applying for SOWP, which account should be used to demonstrate funds? Is it the PA's account (my wife applying for a study permit) or the Spouse's account (mine for OWP)? I just need to be sure which one to use as both accounts were used for the Study Permit application. Also will it be better to open a separate GCKey account? Or use the one my wife used for her Application? We are still awaiting approval of her Study permit though, but I want to be sure of the account to use so the funds can be cooling there.

keleto:

Please who knows how to solve this issue.
i applied for SOWP for myself and study permit for my kids, the applications were received; my kids got their application and UCI numbers,
but i got only the Application number, There is no UCI number for me.

OkukuOne:
You should use the sponsor's account. Also, it doesn't matter where the money lies between the spouses. What is key are:

1. Proof of r/ship (Marriage)
2. POF sufficient for the purpose

On where to apply. Is best practice, you create your own Gc Key and apply for yours when it is time.

Good luck!

HEADYWORLD:


No, just do another medical and go with anytime you are traveling
