Does anyone know or have heard about whether SOWP and the accompanying kids (student and visitor visa) need to show POF at POE? Am just trying to think ahead...

in addition to this question, anyone who have travelled to Canada with their children through SOWP should please share their experience and documents required pre-boardimg and post-boarding. This is will aid our preparation as we prepare to take-off.

DeeWan:


Thank you all for your good wishes. Infact, it has not been an easy journey considering the unending waiting period which has finally ended through the grace and mercy of the Almighty God. Below is my timeline;

Application was submitted in March 21, 2021 through our Immigration Lawyer in Canada.
Biometrics was done for me alone in March 24, 2021. This is because my 2 kids are 4 years and 2 years old.
Upfront Medical was done for me and my 2 kids in February 2021.
Medical examination of the kids were passed in March 25, 2021.
My Medical examination was passed in May 19, 2021 after which review started.
Then the waiting started proper.
Our Lawyer through his portal sent webform twice and an email for expedite processing of our application but, we were informed to wait as application could not be considered a priority. This propelled us to increase the fire of our prayer.
GCMS note was requested for on 23rd September 2021 by our Lawyer but it did not come even till this moment.
On 7th October 2021, I had to compose an emotional mail on behalf of Wifey to the MP of her area of residence in Canada. We were sent consent forms which was filed and sent back. The MP promised to get back to us as soon as he can. Another round of waiting started. I kept checking Wifey's email almost every minute for his response but this did not happen until November 2nd, 2021. From his response, we were told that our application was under review. At that point, we felt we had explored all available means and we just have to continue hoping in God.
Lo and behold, I was in the rest room today (16th November 2021) when I was called by Wifey. She broke the news of our PPR request to me. I cannot but continue to appreciate the name of the Lord for his mercies and grace. I use this opportunity to pray for everyone here waiting for PPR that God in his infinite mercy will answer everyone speedily without further delay.

Congratulations

I travelled on the 6th of this month with my 3 children. At the POE(Montreal),you will need the Arrive Can, passport id at the self service arrival kiosk, then uoi proceed to the dynacare group for covid related matters then immigration. Asides from our int'l passports, the immigration officer asked for my husband's study permit. Unfortunately I didn't print a copy as I felt they won't ask for it. So I asked if I could show him a soft copy from my phone and he obliged. But somehow I still couldn't find it on my phone. I became frantic but kept searching and then after few minutes, he said "found it". Next, he asked if I applied for a study permit for my first child who is an American citizen and I said no. So he asked us to wait. And another round of fear started. I tried to remain calm. Few minutes later he called my attention and handed us the permits.
Then he asked me to write exactly how much I had with me on a form( this is because I declared I had more than $10k). I eventually submitted the form at another counter.
Everything went very smooth and easier than I expected. I got nervous over nothing.
I will suggest you travel with every necessary document. Either you print out or have a soft copy that is easily accessible( phone, tablet etc)

Documents they asked for pre-boarding ( Lufthansa airline) were Int'l passports with visas, Arrive Can, Covid test, and then they asked for employment letter but I told them I had an open work permit approval. They confirmed with their supervisor and I was allowed to check in.
Before departure at frankfurt, they scanned the passports, Arrive Can and covid test result too.

That is very helpful. And congratulations to you and family. It is good to hear you came to Montreal as I am also in here and my family (wife and 3 kids) will join in early December by God's grace. Try to connect if convenient, we can learn from your experience now and hopefully we can all meet in person some day.

Great and again thanks for this response. My kids are 2, 7 and 12. The older ones have study permits and the youngest visitor visa. We didn't book Covid test for the baby, I hope this is okay?

The $10k, you had it on you or it's what you submitted as proof of fund when applying?

For sanity sake I didn’t bother checking my gckey or nairaland for a while. Upon checking processing time from 28 weeks to 51 weeks to 58 weeks na wa ooo.

Seeing back to back PPR news is very encouraging. Congrats @deewan @atinuket @akinajibola for your PPR…..Congrats @stonehenge83 for your eligibility and medical request, PPR on the way.

Oh okay, it shall soon end in praises too for your case. Is it just you or with kids?

Hi fam, I just reapply my close work permit that was refused exactly one year in August 2021, my work permit is under International Mobility Program (Lmia exempt)with Nomination.

This time around I applied for only work permit while I used my family as home ties our PR application is ongoing awaiting AOR.

I just want to confirm if this new application can get faster process since is only me as a principal applicant,I read somewhere that if application is refused IRCC do changes the visa office for proper reassessment I don’t know how true is this information?

thanks

Congratulations to you and family too. I am currently in Saint John, New Brunswick but my POE was Montreal. I am also looking forward to connecting.

Well, I think the baby does not need a covid pre arrival test since he/she is less than 5years. Please confirm again before you travel

I had more than $10k cash with me so I had to declare it. Assuming I had less than $10k, I wouldn't bother declaring anything and no one would ask since I didn't declare. They might just ask to confirm that I don't have more than $10k cash, because you are supposed to declare any cash more than $10k
I dont think they would really bother about proof of fund at the POE especially after you have been granted a visa.
I might be wrong though.

Stonehenge83:

Yes, that is what I was told and same as what I read online on CIC website. Thanks

Good day everyone,

I just got my visa recently, but deferred admission already, so I'll be traveling to Canada next year.

Can I start my wife's SOWP application now so we can travel together or apply when I'm in Canada?

Thank you

Congratulations!
