Good day everyone. Sorry to be asking these questions but can anyone direct me to steps to applying for sowp and the documents needed The sowp thread isn't like the sp thread. After ppr for the pa what next. Must the pa travel and procure study permit or can he start applying from Nigeria ASAP considering that he already deferred to January. Is there any advantages of submitting from inside Canada. Course is just 8months too. Can he defer again cos he really needs to travel with wife and child? Can the spouse use a sponsor?

Please ask your questions here so others can help and if I stray in like this once in a while I can chip in if I have insights too. It is no longer possible to accept PM and start discussions without hurting my own studies here. I hope you will understand. Thanks

LANDING GIST

My flight was scheduled for 10:55 pm on Sunday.
We all went to the airport by 2:00pm because we had excess luggage and also to check in on time.
At 2, there wasn’t any crowd, we had 23kg into ten places (entitled to just 6 bags at 23kg) and paid 300k for extra luggage.

Things requested for at Nigerian airport:
1. Arrive can
2. Stamped visas
3. Enrollment letter
4. Covid 19 test

We finished all checks around 5:pm. Please no matter the time for your flight, try and get to the airport early because the crowd from five ehn!, I wouldn’t have meet up if I went late.

Tickets were printed out, yellow card given as well and passport scanned.

I said final goodbyes to my in-laws around eight and got checked in.

We used Lufthansa, we left 10:55pm and got to Frankfurt after 6 hours. We had layover of about six hours.

Things asked at Frankfurt by immigration.

1. Arrive can
2. Visas
3. Covid test result
4. Quarantine plan (14 days at Airbnb)

Our flight to Vancouver moved around 1:35pm on Monday (Germany time). It was the longest ten hours of my life. I never knew traveling with an active baby was this hard. They served their usual
Leaves but I no gree chop am because my turkey and meat Dey my bag Dey wait me(lol).

We got to Vancouver around 14:35(Vancouver time )on Monday . I filled arrival form on the system and moved to immigration.

At immigration in Vancouver, no cue or crowd at all.
Things asked by immigration:
1. Stamped visas of hubby , I and baby.
2. Hubby’s letter of authorization (the letter sent after your pp has been stamped ).

His work permit and baby’s visit visa was printed. No need for mine as i already had my study permit since July .
I waited for welcome to Canada and nothing(lol) yet again.

We got tested for covid at the airport and also our day eight self test box.

We moved to claim luggage(every bag complete ). And entered taxi to our Airbnb for quarantine.

I wish everyone all the best.
Amen

Thanks. God bless you. I already applied but I used their Us passports and the application was only for me. Serious crossroads.
Akannitommy:
Hi,

Earlier in the year I remember speaking to someone who brought her US citizen kids with her and they got study permits (or landing records --- not sure again) at the POE. I have a US citizen child too but was confused so I asked the immigration lawyer/expert attached to my university international student office for advice. She said my child needs a study permit as long as she is not a Canadian citizen and told me to add them to the SOWP application package which I did. As noted earlier we already got PPR for this child along her sibling who is Nigerian born. But note that we used her Nigerian passport in the application but also added copies of the US passport and birth certificate in the application.

I can only comment on what I have gone through and to a lower extent what I have heard from those went through such. Even when I knew the child could travel with her US passport, I still went ahead to apply for study permit. I am not advising you to chose any of these options but to provide information I have and then let you make your own decision.

Best wishes!

Please would they do medicals too even without applications in progress as theirs is tied to mine. I have actually booked for medicals for all of us but I’m worried since I’m the only one with UCI and App ID

This question and the former response above about using their US passports and only you applying, are confusing. Can you please clarify whether your children have applied for visas regardless of the passports used. If yes, everyone must do medicals which is ideally adjudged by the country you have lived in for the past 6-months and not the passport you carry.

Weldone Great People, Please I want your answer to this my yearning.

My spouse and I did Canadian Biometrics since last year November in Lagos, but to my amazement nothing has been heard since then.

Please can someone help me with any necessary info or am I the only one experiencing this ?

Please help.
