Good morning house,
As adviced earlier in the forum. I have applied now for an SOWP in Dec 2017. I also applied for study permit for my sons. All applications were via paper route.
Please I have been trying to link my paper application to my CIC profile but it's not going.


I don't know what am doing wrong.

Thank you Markab,
I would go the sowp route. My wife's study permit is 2 yrs and she has collected her enrollment letter.

I am gathering other documents needed to apply. I was advised to ensure a minimum balance of 10 million. Please is this accurate for me n my 3 sons.

Also I was asked to ensure my wife has a balance of 4000CAD at least. Is this also necessary, since I am her sponsor?

What else do I need to gather please apart from the

1. study permit from spouse
2. enrollment letter from spouse
3. Bank statement
4. Proof of employment
5. Proof of school for my kids
6. LOE

Also can anyone help with a sample LOE.

Good morning house,
I am new to this forum but have read all the threads.
My wife got a study permit in June 2017 and has long resumed studies in Canada. We paid full tuition for one year and I am her sponsor.
I applied for a visiting visa for myself n 3 sons to visit her since August and only just got refused last week. I had an account balance of NGN4million. I added all evidence of employment etc as ties to Nigeria.
The reason for refusal stated was "Purpose of visit".
My wife is really devastated by this refusal n is affecting her studies as she has never been away from our boys.
She's also pregnant and due for delivery in March 2018.

My questions are:

1. I am confused whether to reapply for the visiting visa or just opt for the SOWP. Considering my wife's present condition I need to be with her as fast as possible.

2. Should I indicate that she is pregnant in my reapplication? She already has health insurance in place.

3. Also do I request for the GCMS for this refused application? How long does it take to get it?
