Sorry for bothering you with questions, how do you know your file is with Nairobi?

sure no problem, I sent a webform adding my upfront medicals few days after I got this “ “Since your file is located at the Canadian visa office in Nairobi, Kenya, we invite you to also contact them in order to: Report important changes, Provide documents, Add a representative or designated individual on file, Obtain information regarding the status of your application, or Enquire on an outcome to a request". when I emailed Nairobi they confirmed my document is with them.

Okay thanks

Please look at this, is it a template reply or something.
Don’t understand them

I received this email as a response to my written authorization email.
I’m guessing it’s system response or what do y’all think

Hi Lianna,
I got thesame message when I applied for exemption letters for my family, since your application is still in progress, they won't send you the exemption letter. I assumed they already approved your authorization but waiting for final decision on your application before they release the letter. In our case, I got these letters for my spouse and kids on July 31, visa got approved August 12 and authorization letters for my kids were sent thesame day but I noticed that the authorization letters issued date was July 31st, same day I got this letter you have now. I also think this letter will make them work faster on your applications because I found Rapid Response Operation on the authorization letters.
NB: My spouse exemption letter was issued today.

Hi queenG2020, if I may ask, is it ok to apply for travel authorization or travel exemption while Sowp is still in progress and SP hasn't gone to Canada.

Thanks for responding, I’d keep the house updated

I'm not sure if this is possible because travel exemption is either based on family reunification or compassionate reason for you you to join your family member already living in Canada. In my own case, it was a family reunification.

Ah ok thanks.

I have someone that hasn’t gone to ca yet that requested for written authorization for her child and she got the above screenshot so don’t be discouraged.
Mp told her it’s been attached august 25 and ircc replied her with the same email I got as well on 30th of august and she’s still in Nigeria .

I think everything depends on the content of the letter sent and how emotional it is .

Hi,
Are you able to travel without the SOWP holder having a written authorization letter?
To update you, I requested one for my wife since IRCC only sent for my children (received in my children's GCkey account).
IRCC responded a few minutes ago, stating that the application is approved.
The content in the email tally with what was stated in the letter that was issued to my children.
Her name is boldly written in the body of the letter and stated that the decision (approval) had been documented in "Canada's Global Case Management System" and valid for only three months.
Thanks.

Eilenora:
Pls guys does a SOWP holder require a written authorization to fly to Canada? Cos I just spoke to IRCC and they said yes he does and sent me a follow up email to that effect. We don buy ticket already o. Did anyone fly recently with a SOWP? Was authorization required at the airport?

thank you Lianna. This is encouraging.

After a successful visa application and 2 refusals for request for written authorization, 2nd being a day to hubby's flight, my husband finally made it in on the 2nd September, on his SOWP. Call to IRCC Canada about enquiries for written authorization (WA) told me that he needs it, a subsequent email followed up after the call. Enquiry email to all IRCC offices: Nairobi office corroborated what IRCC said, that SOWP holder needs a WA. What saved the day was a response from the London Office 7 hours to his flight that a SOWP holder does not require a WA or any other supporting documents from IRCC to come into Canada. See confusion from different branches of the same office!. Hubby immediately rushed to do covid test at 4pm (flight was 10pm)! Flashed the letter in their faces and was allowed to board. POE Canada was a breeze and no mention was made about the previous refusals. Just happy to all be reunited again after 9 months. All the best to those still waiting. God will come through speedily for you as well IJN

Big congratulations to you and yours. The Land of Canada will favour you all.

Hi,

Quick question. I emailed the MP in my area but yet to get a response. While I await a response, I wanted to ask if it is okay to email the MP covering my school too or not?

Thanks all.

It doesn’t matter I think, mp na mp.
just be praying that they assist to ask ircc about your app instead their generic response due to the afghanistan issue.

I equally emailed my mp and waiting for response as well.

Please my people help a sister

Actually no one here is an employee of IRCC, we can only share our experiences and thoughts. Anyone can apply for anything and at anytime, but increasing our chances of success is why we are here. I am actually not an advocate of people applying for SOWP before the primary applicant travels and obtain study permit.
