Hi @residenttourist,

Congrats on your approval.

If your first kid is above 4 years old, she/he will need to apply for study visa, (if) I assume the kid holds a Nigerian passport.

I can't comment much on the US citizens although I have one too but my school's immigration advisor (a lawyer) advised that I apply for a study visa for her too which I did and currently awaiting the outcome. I remember she said the kid cannot attend school in Canada unless she has a study permit and I didn't want to risk it. I think the main concern may be whether the kid can travel to Canada at this time with a US passport since there are still travel restrictions between both countries. Moreso, with a US passport, you can only claim short visit purpose that will be classified as non-essential travel. These are just my thoughts but I suggest you let more experienced folks chip in, especially those with direct and very recent experiences.

My comment on your hubby's prospect is similar to the logic above in respect of your other kids. Your hubby is eligible for Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP). Clearly, you are aware of this but do not think it is a wise decision to pursue that route now and I understand where you may be coming from. So here is my two cent. Your hubby can apply for a visitor visa but the chances of success is very low for two reasons. One, it is not the logical visa category the VO expects the spouse of an international student to apply for. So you will need a very tidy application to succeed on this factor. Two, visitors are not essential travellers to Canada right now and so most visitors visa will be stepped down to create room for priority applications - two of which may be the students and spousal open work categories.

Finally, depending on what route(s) you decide to take, it is advisable that you arrive in Canada before you commence their visa application process. This is because there are important supporting documents that you will not be able to access until you land in Canada e.g. study permit issued at the port of entry. To further improve their chances of success, it is often suggested [but not required] that you commence studies and if possible complete at least a semester so you can show progress through your academic transcripts.

Wishing you and your family the very best in whatever decision you take.

Good morning people!!!

I recently received a positive response on my student visa application. Now I want my husband and first child to apply for Canadian visa (my other 2 kids are US citizens and do not require a visa) the challenge is most people here are applying for work permit for their spouse but what I actually want is a visitors visa because my husband cannot afford to quit his job anytime soon grin

I'd appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction of what steps to take. Ie should he apply on his own (considering that he is sponsoring me) or should I make the application under my gckey?

Please has anyone been in this situation and how did you tackle it or are you tackling it?

Thank you.

Unless you are family members, I do not think the government of Canada will allow you to share quarantine costs or hotel room. And even at that, there is additional cost charged for each other member of the family - children inclusive - maybe not at the same rates as the principal traveller but definitely, not free.

Hello all.

Please what are the documents of the company that is willing to sponsor me, will provide?
How much in naira, should they have in the company's account?
Am been sponsored under the privilege of a scholarship of study in any school abroad, given to me by the company (Chairman's discretion)
Been working there for 10years...
Condition holding the scholar is to come back after study and continuing working in the same company.

What are my chances?
Is it convincing enough...
What are the company's documents?

Thanks!

Good day @emmalextop

Your sponsor should have
First year fees+10,000cad+3,000cad for proof of funds in account..... depending on school fees the amount in naira varies only you can figure that out when you get the fees of the school in cad and multiply all with the black market dollar rate of 420naira to be on a safe side.

Yeah your chances are increased since you have a strong argument to return back to Nigeria..

Below are the list of documents for company

Sponsor 1 Documents (Company)

1. Letter of Sponsorship
2. Article of association and memorandum
3. CAC CERTIFICATE
4. Particulars of directors in the company
5. Tax Clearance Certificate
6. Company bank statements for the past six (6) months.
7. Board Resolution Letter stating that they are fully aware of this sponsorship and approve it.
8. Affidavit of Support
9. Business invoices

Hope this helps.

LONG POST ALERT!!!

As is often reiterated in this platform, no two applications is the same.
A BIG THANK YOU to all those who keep providing valuable information and offering guidance here. God bless and keep you.

Timeline:
1st application 2016
Applied for PGD in HRM to Georgian College
Refused on basis of;
# Home ties (I applied for visitors visa for my husband and first child, my other two are US citizens)
# Finanicial bla bla bla (VO wasn't convinced the course was a reasonable expense, no career progression and he claimed there was a bulk cash lodgement into the account, which unfortunately wasn't true)

2nd application 2020
Applied for MHRM in University of Regina
Refused primarily because I wasn't "totally truthful" in my application. I had clicked yes on the previous refusal of visas but unfortunately it was only the details of my previous study permit application I dwelt on. Other excuses about section R216 ie not leaving Canada were mentioned in the rejection but my GCMS highlighted that the VO's main concern was the non-declaration of the US visa refusal.

3rd Application -7th March, 2021
NSE request - 12th March, 2021
NSE submission- 3rd April, 2021
L,R,W,S were 9,9,7.5,7.5 respectively (screenshot was uploaded since hard copy hadn't been received)
11th April,2021 hard copy was scanned and sent via webform
14th April, 2021 NSE documents were acknowledged. Eligibility review commenced.
April 30th, 2021 Upfront medicals
May 19th, 2021 Medical report updated to passed
June 1st, 2021 webform informing IRCC of admission extension/deferral
June 4th, 2021 acknowledgement email of mail sent.
June 9th, 2021 correspondence letter and original passport request

DOCUMENTS SUBMITTED
All relevant IMM forms
Admission letter

PROOF OF FUNDS
Receipt of 20k CAD paid to the school
Sponsor is my husband
I submitted;
* his employment letter,
*promotion letters
* payslips and a letter of introduction from his office.
*Plus his bank statements and a reference letter from his bank which stated that I am a signatory to his accounts.
* Pension accounts statements
* Various investments/shares documents
* Title documents of properties owned (3 in total no valuation done, I only gave an estimated value of the properties) Also included were pictures of the properties.



# For myself, I only submitted my employment letter, confirmation of employment and introduction letter from my employer.
I stated in my SOP that since I will not be earning an income through the duration of my studies I don't feel the need to submit my own bank details so it doesn't divert the attention ,(not stated in those exact words o)

International passports of myself, my husband and 3 kids. They serve as home ties.

I hope I haven't left anything out.

I graduated with a 2.2 in accounting and finance but got the MHRM offer through the experience route which is for people who have worked in HR for about 7years and above. I had to write a convincing letter to the graduate school and was given the grwenlight to go ahead with my application

I am 37 going on 38 in August but that didn't deter me. grin

Thank you so much @frankrobbn1 @justwise @lekiboboe and all the other contributors too numerous to mention. You are a blessing!!!


Cobgratulations, Please can you share me your SOP?

Some of the hotel's have provisions for double beds in a room for two. The person have to go through the list and select an hotel that had such options. I think for such arrangement it is about 700 CAD each for the occupants instead of 1000+ CAD for single arrangements.


I don't think you can book a single arrangement for 2 people. Because the cost of utilities and all day feeding are inclusive.

Good evening everyone. Just wanted to say I just received my passport and the feeling is amazing.
I sent it to Abuja through a two way courier via FedEx on Thursday 3rd June, 2021. It arrived Abuja at close of business on Friday 4th June, 2021 so it didn’t get to the embassy until Monday, 7th June, 2021. I received counterfoil on Wednesday 9th June, 2021 and LOI the next day 10/06/2021. FedEx picked up my package yesterday 10/06/2021 and it arrived my house this evening 11/06/2021.
I recommend everyone to send their passports to Abuja for stamping as they are relatively more efficient than Lagos.

Goodluck everyone!
I’m still on the thread tho, I no fit commot here grin grin

I’ll be back with my landing gist guys!

Cheers.

Oh wow. Geography. If not for your 13 years bank experience, I would have said you should push for Masters in Geography because of your CGPA and background. York University is a good school for that and once you secure a supervisor, you would be awarded fully funded scholarship. The choice is yours though
