I think application is still being accepted for SWOP, they said "in few weeks' time", so I would advise you submit as soon as possible. And if you have the funds, you can also apply for visit visa concurrently, there is no harm in having the two.

The announcement won't affect your kids if they are still in primary/secondary school, so you can still go ahead with study permit for them.

These are my thoughts, other experts can contribute.

Hello house, please I need some clarity on my situation

I got my study visa approved in dec 2023 for May intake, however I was looking at deferring to September cos we want to have more than enough to settle in Canada and also pay more school fees from here . We both have good jobs/ business and Didnt plan to stop till July.
So here are the issues

1. I was about to apply for my spouse and kids, but with this new policy I would like to know if I submit a SOWP for my spouse and he is approved, and I resume in September, will his visa still be affected?

2. Is it better to submit a visit visa for him than SOWP cos of the fear of getting denied looking at the new policy

3. If my fam application is approved, Should we just go in May? If we doing this, means our jobs/business would need to stop in April and that also mean loosing a lot of money

Please I would appreciate some clarity from anyone🙏

What was your request in the webform?

AlphaLady:
Applied August 31st, biometric 13th of September, got my decision 24th of October. Also had to send web forms.

I've seen people that received their email with that clause that still picked it up in person.

mikexceo:
Guys can someone go to vfs abuja to pickup my stamped passport? I got an automated email from vfs saying my passport is ready for collection but collection in-person is longer permitted till further notice. Please how true is this?

Congrats to your step brother. What were his submission and Biometrics dates?

Canfulfilment:


So we got an approval today, 2 days after responding to the PFL. I am the sponsor and I am sponsoring my step-brother.

The PFL was to proof when relationship with sponsor was established, pictures of applicant and sponsor together, chats, etc.

So we wrote a letter on when relationship was established. I have only one picture with applicant, so we added pics of applicant and parents and pics of sponsor with same parents. We added chat between sponsor and applicant, and family group chat. I dowloaded some of the mobile app bank transfer receipts of the money I sent to applicant.

It would have been an outright refusal in my opinion if I had shown only my bank statement in the application. I think they gave us a chance to prove relationship because I paid my brothers first year tuition of $14500 in full. I also deposited 13 million naira in his naira account for his living expenses and the money was there for more than 6 months. I also stated that my basement is available for him to live in given the housing crisis in Canada.

My advise, sponsors should show more commitment by depositing money into applicant’s account and/or paying some tuition fee. And lastly, the big lesson for me is to provide more proof of relationship between sponsor and applicant when submitting your application in the first place. And the last big lesson, start snapping and keeping pictures of you and your relations, you never can tell when it will be a life saver. I do not have pics of my siblings and I. So I will start snapping going forward.

So sorry about this. It would be better to wait for the GCMS note before you re-apply, GCMS note normally take about 1 month.

What date did you submit you application and when did you do your Biometrics?

But the VO said insufficient fund to travel to and from Canada is the reason of my refusal though I have other for my GCMS Note today.

You could be denied for any flimsy excuse, including not following their instruction. When in doubt, always ask questions. What you wrote on the table of content shows you are in doubt, and you just made the officer's job easy.

Am I wrong for splitting it


I need to add that the refusal was done under ‘Eligibility’

Yes, but you will need to pay in Abuja since you did not do your Biometrics with them.

quadtunji:

I did my biometrics in Lagos, can I go to Abuja and Submit?

In Abuja, you would get it same day or latest by second day if you submit it physically and can pick it up physically.

quadtunji:
Good morning All,

Please, can I go to Abuja and submit my passport even though I did my Biometrics in Lagos. I am considering this option because I want to have my passport back latest Next week. Thank you...
