Congratulations ��
Please did you can you send the email address of London and Nairobi office and if possible a format of your travel authorization letter.
I will really appreciate this

PPR alert!!!
All glory and adoration belong to Lord.
I traveled to Canada on 18th December 2020. I started packaging my family application immediately after I have collected all the vital documents like Study permit, SIN, Service Card, and so on.
I applied for an Open work permit visa for my wife and visiting visa for my children.
Timeline:
Submitted application on 11th Feb 2021
Biometrics - 3rd March 2021
Upfront medical - 29th March 2021
Sent series of emails before medical was uploaded to pass on 14th June 2021.

At some point, I had to request for GCSM note to find out the current status of our application.
I contacted the MP, but the only feedback I got was that the status is "Review Required"
I had requested about three notes that are yet to land as we speak.
The last email I sent was on the 9th of August, 2021. I sent the email to both Nairobi and London. I finally got a response to my email on 11th August 2021. I think the London office forwarded my email to Nairobi. So, Nairobi told us to request a written authorization. I ask for this letter that same day. After that, the waiting game continues again until 17th August 2021. I noticed my daughter's eligibility changed from "We are reviewing whether you meet the eligibility requirement" to " we will inform you once your eligibility...".
Finally, on 18th August, I got a notification that there is a pending message regarding my family application. I opened the portal, and it was a BVL.
At this point, I knew the decision had been made. However, it was a mixed feeling because nobody knows what comes next. It is either an approval or a refusal, but I keep hoping for the best.
I decided to go and shop for wines � believing that it will be a favorable decision.
Victory at last. The golden email came in this morning. As usual, I logged into my wife's account, and it was a PPR!
I pray that everybody waiting for good news like this will testify very soon in Jesus' name.
It wasn't easy but last last; it ended in praise!!

A big shout out to Frankrobbin. You are such a wonderful person. I sincerely appreciate your help from the start to the end. Thanks for the follow-up and suggestions. May God reward you for your kindness.

Yes oooo
I got a job in April 2019 with the help of my sister in Canada and LMIA came out in Nov , my visa was issued in
March 2020 but because I couldn't come in for a long time my employer pulled out and I have to go back in the process and reapply because I got a new employer in another province
Here I am still waiting since December and my LMIA is valid for 9 month.
Wao .....am just trying of the waiting.

After a heated argument with the KLM Employee. She kept going from one boss to another until one understands what OWP is all about. They finally reluctantly allow her to board.

Please, how were you able to resolve this issue. The issues most times I think are always at our own airports. Those Airline employees can be so overzealous.

@Adwal2020, congratulations to you and your family on the arrival of their PPR. Can you please share documents submitted as I'm planning same application for my family.

Please I asked before , what’s the usefulness of this exemption if approved ?
Does it make application to be approved automatically or what ?

The Visa offices are working with reduced staff, so most applications are abandoned. The officers only treat applications that are deemed to be urgent.
In this case, one needs to request an exemption for the VO to work on their application provided IRCC approves the request.
Thanks.

to be honest I’m confused if travel exemption is also travel Authorization and if they’re both applied online or via a webform. My spouse is a September intake student and hasn’t traveled because we recently had a baby. I checked @adwal2020 ‘s post. That’s why I asked to explain to me how it works if it’s for both visitor visa and SOWP. Because I read travel Authorization is applied after visa as been approved. I’m sorry I’m not very good at this terms. Thank you.

Amen!

Is there a thread for study permit extension in Canada?

I doubt

This process is straightforward; there is a number at the back of your Study permit letter, just call it and ask for extension. It is what can be demanded for via phone.

Please I don't know what to do,
My wife has applied for student visa but her passport expires March 2023 and mine expires Feb 2023.
Should we apply for passport renewal now? Even tho she has submitted her current passport number on the application portal?

Yes, you especially should apply for yours ASAP, while hers follows immediately. A stitch in time saves nine.

Do you know anyone that extended theirs this way though? Cos it looks to me like a proper visa application where u have to show proof of funds all over again, file on cic portal, do medicals if yours has expired, etc

Can you renew a passport that is expiring in 2023??

You guys can use your current passports for now. When you get to Canada, you can do passports renewal and extend your stay.

Hmmm...just call immigration and ask for extension
