I had visitor visa before I qualified for OWP through my wife's study permit.

euphorbia:

Pls, how did you upload the medical document given to you at the clinic? I applied also in March but did my upfront medical in april. I am yet to send the document as I don't know if it's by email or webform

It is easy to get a job in Canada if ur girlfriend will just approach an immegration firm that employ the services of an immegration consultant with good standing in Canada,..eg AJ immegration in Alberta, and some other she should check them out although there services are not cheap.

Hello, congratulations on your OWP. May I kindly send you an email or a whatsapp call as I am about to engage in the process of SWOP. I would really appreciate your help. Looking forward to your response.

Yes , since she is the one going to study in Canada. Apply for your kids also but you can apply for visitors visa initially, once your wife study permit is approved , you guys can all travel together and you can now apply for SOWP after that. So it's possible

Hello,

The rule of thumb for your type of situation is patience and strategy. Patience, taking the best action that will favour the whole family in the long run. There is no rush in this Canada journey. Strategy, by planning months and possibly a year or more ahead.

Personally, what I did is to apply for study visa alone and use family (wife and 3 kids) as strong home ties in addition to other normal ties. Then when I arrived Canada and completed one semester, I submitted application for family 11-days ago. My wife SOWP, my older kids (12yrs and 7yrs) study visa and my youngest child (less than 2 years) a visitor visa. I did upfront medical and submitted application on 15th May 2021. The medicals were updated to passed on 19th May 2021 for all - my youngest child didn't require medical exams due to age and visa type. My spouse completed biometric yesterday and the waiting game continues. I hope to also continue learning on here from people who have had similar experiences.

There are no guarantees but with a good strategy you have a better chance. There are students (even in Nigeria) who applied with their family and got approved but the chances are low. You can ask on the study permit thread for direct experiences.

You are right bro, I am on the same route too. My wife applied for her study permit and added our less than a year son's visitor's visa in her application. On getting there, she sent me there permits which I used to apply for my spousal work permit. Submitted application April 29th and was asked to go for biometrics same day too. Biometrics don on 5th May and was updated same day. Did upfront medicals same time my wife did hers and I passed medicals on May 19th. The waiting continues. I think it's safer to do it this way especially during this covid-19 period as they are trying to unite families. Thanks.

I received this reply for my wife's SOWP:

Based on our assessment of your recent enquiry, we cannot process your request as you have not provided sufficient evidence that you meet an exemption criterion and/or that your travel to Canada is non-discretionary, per the travel restrictions implemented to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID‑19) in Canada.
Even though you do not meet an exemption criterion and/or your travel has not been deemed non-discretionary, your application will now be put on hold until after the travel restriction pause has been lifted.
Thank you for your interest in visiting Canada.

Sincerely,
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada MC24468

does it mean that people are not receiving this exemption and has anybody here been given the exemption to travel?

joy2dworld4eva:
For someone who recently got married and the wife is a Canadian citizen, how long can she wait to start spousal application for the husband? Can she start the application the following month ?
Secondly, Is registry wedding pictures and wedding certificate enough even if we didn't do any church or big party wedding ?

Thanks as I await professional responses

Apply in Canada because you presently don't have enough documents to apply for SOWP

apply for your infant now .. but you have to be financially ready for that .

Goodday people,

I came across one travel agency recently and they promised to give me 2-5yrs Canada tourist visa, which allows me to work. Documentation fee 700k and visa processing 72k.

Please i would like to know how feasible this is.

Thank you.
