Hello House, greetings to everyone. Question please. I have a study permit and want to apply for the Spousal Open work permit for my spouse and study permit for my kids. What is the best approach for it, should I apply myself or my spouse applies for it?

Hello guys, pls what does it mean to be waitlisted by a college.

Secondly I applied for a 1 year apprenticeship program instead of a pgd in conestoga college . I hope this will not have any negative effect in my visa application and for pgwp.

I am a bsc holder

Waitlist means you neither have an offer nor have you been rejected. They'll place you on the waitlist pending if there is an available slot, maybe someone decides to defer or reject the admission then they'll replace that slot from those on waitlist. If no one rejects the admission or they get a stronger application, they will send those on waitlist a reject mail or ask them to apply for next session.

Okay, did you just fill out the forms in addition to the online application or you were prompted by the system to download, complete the forms manually and upload them as part of your online application?

I also didn't apply from Nigeria perhaps the difference in the process (mine was a proper web page and not a set of downloadable form)

Sorry for the long question, just making sure I did the right thing.

Okay, maybe the difference in mine is that I applied from Nigeria. But it's 3 forms, application for study permit for applicant outside canada, family information and application for Temp residency. Downloaded them during my application from the site. Filled with PDF and uploaded them. I already had an existing profile on IRCC site so just added my study permit application and had to fill these forms+ other documents I listed.

nnamdi346:


What are these forms? Did you apply on paper?

No. Online.

Congratulations
With ur upfront medical, did they request for medical exam?
How long did it take to update it?

No, they didnt request. Just upload the form the clinic gives to you when you do the upfront medicals. Once you upload that, IRCC is aware you've done medicals. The Clinic will send ur medical report to IRCC.... also before this, there is a questionnaire on the site before you upload ur documents. The questionnaire asks if you have done upfront medicals, just pick Yes

They didnt updated it until the date my application was approved.

Got pp request. Grateful to God and thanks to all contributors here.
An upfront medicals, a well detailed LOE and adequate POF helps.
