Deronke1:Aside tuition you need 10k cad for your living expenses depending on the province you are going which is around 4.5m now black market rate, then you also need some 2 to 3k cad for others which will be channelled towards ur flight booking and other miscelleneous before you now consider 5k cad for you spouse. And it is adviseable you put morr than you need cos the exact amount of money might not fly. If u intend to use Nigerian student express route you need to show 30k cad for you alone then add your spouse 5k depending on province also 5k is (other provinces) i think its now 6k in quebec. That shows that the 8m is not enough for you yet. But you could be smart in that u apply for yours first use ur spouse as home tie get to canada pay the 5m for tuition then put the 10k in Cad account and add the 5k for your spouse also. It is faster to verify canadian bank account by VO than nigerian bank account aside that you appear to have larger pool of money to be able to bring him/ her in through sowp or VV route. Sowp now takes 37weeks and VV 224days through the new portal. If you have kids u need 4k each for them. My own perspective. 1 Like |

Good afternoon all. 1. Is it advisable to book one way ticket flight to Canada as finances is tight for now or two way ticket, does it have any implications ? 2. Can one apply for PTA with a one way ticket when traveling ? 3. Which airlines is advisable to fly with to Canada that is good and the ticket price is moderate? 4. What is the best way to book flights? Through agent, website or app ? Thanks |

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by skull4eva: 4:21pm On Feb 22, 2022 |
jogojogo:Thank you @Anndav. Check online it is there. I check everyweek cos of ny spouse application it was 30weeks last friday. Hoping the time reduces so that i can quickly use that to claim that processing time has pasted.... Thats my logic though |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by skull4eva: 4:26pm On Feb 22, 2022 |
Jeffi7:As for PTA jogojogo has said it all. PTA is applied for directly online through the CBN created online platform. You need a to and fro booked ticket and you can use that to request 14days to you flight. The only thing is you must come back on your claimed day of arrival becos if you dont they will find out give u few days in case of delayed flight or cancelled flight by the airline not by you before they start to label you publicly on all social media platform as a fraud. That wont go well with yoir stay in Canada too so most people stay clear of the PTA if they wont come back. As for the flight someone that I know used Lufthansa, although expensive but will save u lots of documentation request stress. My perspective. |

jogojogo: There are 2 categories of Visiting Visas. The regular visiting visa before covid and the family reunification vv. I do not think the later is up to 224 days, they are most likely referring to the former as family reunification has always been given priority even in the midst of Covid #Myobservation 1 Like |

The New family unification portal is meant to bring families together based on Justin Trudeau Mandate letter to the new immigration minister. They created the portal to bring families together as quickly as possible but our people bastardized it. People who don't have family members in Canada are now using the portal for tourist visa application. Those with pending SOWP are also jumping into the new portal. What they don't know is that all these TRV applications we are flooding the IRCC go to only one immigration department in Kenya with limited manpower, hence the shooting up of the processing times. We need to endure the mess we created for ourselves. |

Is it possible to relocate to Canada as a student without IELTS. Is it possible to become a permanent resident after education period. Is it also possible to get visa to Canada without agent. Is there any standard format to be as a self guide for the process. Is there any strategies to fast track the visa approval. How easy to get first job and accommodation. These are some of bothering questions related to relocation to Canada begging for answer, please let someone share experience to answer these questions for better understanding. |

Good evening house, please I need some clarifications, I am applying for SOWP and Study permit for my 7 year old daughter. But while filling the study permit for my minor I notice, I have to produce the name of a DLI and also a LOA without them the form wouldn’t be validated. My questions:- 1. How do I complete the form without a LOA? 2. Should I just apply for a VV (All other types) for her instead of the study permit? Please I need your advice Thank you for your anticipation response |

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by skull4eva: 5:47pm On Feb 23, 2022 |
Akeredoluekun2: You spouse is studying right? If thats the case use his LOA for your daughter it will fly thats the normal proceedure. Apply for study permit that will kind of help fast tract the whole visa application process becos study permit is more important and more time conciousness is placed on it by IRCC than SOWP or VV. This could further be hastened up with upfront medicals as well as full covid 19 vaccination. And since shes 7years already the best thing to aplly for is study permit. My perspective 2 Likes |

wealthnet: Is it possible to become a permanent resident after education period - Yes, after 1 year work experience you can qualify for CEC Is it also possible to get visa to Canada without agent. More than half of people on Nairaland got their visas without agents. Is there any strategies to fast track the visa approval. by contacting MPs, and doing what others may not be aware of. I recall in Oct 2021 when i intoriduced people on NL to GIC strategies for student applicantion, most people here almost ate me raw. But today, the GIC thing is almost a norm for many student application. How easy to get first job and accommodation. for accommodation, money is neccesary but not sufficient enough as most home owners would request credit history. Nevertheless, you would surely get a home after some few search even without credit history. For Job, just like every other country. It depends on what u call job. my 2 cents |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by skull4eva: 6:04pm On Feb 23, 2022 |
wealthnet:I understand your point of view you want to be fully aware of what you are up against before you start but sometimes you might not get the opportunity of seeing the very end from the start, and what works for mr A might not be applicable to Mr B. Haven said that i will try and shed some lights on some of your questions. Moving to canada without ielts is possible as most schools dont require it for admission because you are from an English speaking country the worst case senerio is getting a proficiency of english language letter from your institution and so far you dont want to apply for visa through the nigerian student express route. It is possible to get PR after studies depending on the length of your program as that determines the length of your Post graduate work permit which subsequently in one way or the other determines you ability to get PR You can apply for visa on your own without the help of an agent I did mine on my own and with the help of this trend too. Most people have been defrauded by the so call agent of darkness so do it yourself. it saves u alot of stress of even getting banned after not responding to procedural fairness letter when issued one due to lack of coherence in the submitted documents. The standard guidiance i will suggest is to join the canada study permit visa forum on nairaland and read the trend from the begining you will gain a lot. To fast track your application the nigerian student express is a way, doing upfront medical before you submit the application as well as using My bank statement method those could help facilite a quick response from IRCC. Although nothing is sure with them either. The last question getting a job as a student is difficult and not difficult depends on your type of job and also on the kind of network of friends and colleagues you have. If you keep friends and mingle well you will get informed on which job is available both on campus and off campus per time. I got my first job 5days after i entered canada as a kitchen attendant in a restaurant despite the fact that i was a lecturer back then in nigeria, i put that in my pocket and faced my new phase of life. So it depends on your type of job and ideologies. On accomodation, this also depends on information as well as how fat your purse is. My perspective. It will end in praises soon 1 Like |
