Thank you so much.Please did I need to write and an SOP Letter?

Doree:
For those that recently travelled with kids (or are yet to travel), are kids below 18 years entitled to PTA please?

Did you all book a return ticket to benefit the PTA from the bank?

How easy is it to get dollars from the bank currently? Is it even guaranteed for the adult?

Or is there another means of money exchange that will pay more instead of paying two way tickets for two people and getting only $4k at bank rate.
I've heard of lemonade, but does it present a better option? Or did you all just resort to black market for dollars?

Please share insights

To qualify to get PTA you need to book a two way ticket. And as at yesterday i was told that some banks dont have FX at all becos CBN didnt release FX to them. When i was coming last year july i used black market rate but the rate crazy now. I also git the info that FCMB has FX currently because am also looking foe FX before my spouse travels.

Hi, nairalanders.

Will writing about infertility issues and using documents to back it up be a good reason for a spouse's open work permit. We've been married for more than two years, but we don't have any children yet.

If that reason is a bad one, can you please advise on what to write in the letter of intent for why my spouse would like to join me? I have a 1 yr study permit.

Or better still, would visitor be a better option

Does any one have answer for this

Abeg i get question make u people answer me too please. Now i think my experience is failing me. How many days after medical request haven been done and now updated takes before PPR drops? Abeg very important my kids have their stamped passport already but since over a week now their LOI and counterfoil hasnt dropped so i think its as a result of the mothers own that is still pending. So it is very important.

folla:
Hi Skull4eva

As you may already know, there's no pattern to the way IRCC operate. My children got their ppr 2 days after their requested medical results were updated. Meanwhile, I didn't get my ppr until 2 weeks later. In the intervening period, I was worried and then sent a webform. I am not sure that webform had any impact. In your case, I would suggest your wife do a webform reminding IRCC that the children already had their passports stamped, while she's yet to receive ppr.

With regards to the children, do send a webform on each of their portals reminding IRCC that they are still awaiting LOIs. The counterfoil is mere formality, given that their passports had been stamped.

Wishing yours the best.

Hello Everyone ,

I have a question..

What do I select for purpose of travel on the new portal if my husband is accompanying Me to resume school and will be returning.

Thank you all.

skull4eva:


You cant you that solely as a reason because the VO will think if it was dat important to you that should have come first on your table of preference however as sweetjj said use emotional reasons your marriage is young no children yet and you are fond of ur spouse and need him/her for emotional support. Claim you can concentrate again moreso it is a new environment and your spouse is the better person when it comes to acclamatizing to new things and having him or her around will help boast your academic morale and also help as a support system in assisting you acclamatize better and achieve a better grade academically. Just an example though. So thing emotional but making babies also might be a form of distraction to ur studies from some VO point of view

Purpose of travel can be to help you settle as you travel to a new location and he will be helping you with the transition. You may state he has a job or business to return to with a leave letter approved for that duration.

In my case my spouse stated I will return but will be visiting regularly. VO cancelled my visitor visa application and requested I apply for SOWP

PPR Alert!!!!! ALHAMDULILHHH!
The Journey started on the 5th of October 2021, when I put in an SOWP application for my wife and the wait started. At fist it took more than 24 hours to get a fingerprint request form IRCC it was then I knew I was in for a long wait. We did upfront medical which was not even opened or even acknowledged until January 10th, 2022. Before the medical was updated to passed, I was furious that nothing was happening on my wife’s application, so I reached out to the MP of my province. This I think was the best thing I did. The MP was very helpful, and it was not until he reached out to them before the medical was updated to passed. Apparently, he called and told me that they had been working on my application just that they weren’t updating on my wife’s GC key portal. After another two months -March I reached out to the MP again and this was when he came back to tell me that Eligibility review has started which I did not get an update again. At this point I was a bit relieved that after this eligibility then nothing left. Waiting was killing but being optimistic was relieving. Then I spoke to a friend turned brother which I met on this platform we spoke and encouraged each other. He advised I kept disturbing them with emails and webform which I obliged. At the end of May I reached out to the MP to make inquiry on my behalf which he did and told me that the eligibility was passed. It was at this moment that I increased the frequency of my email to Abuja and Nairobi as well as telling my wife to do the same thing. On June 30 they dropped correspondence letter without PPR. I started firing them with email and webform. On July 7 my wife received the PPR.

To everyone here I say a big thank you and to friends expecting PPR may the good lord grant your heart desires soonest.
If there is any specific question, please reach out.

Guys, abeg what does IRCC mean by "Your medical review results are favourable."? It's an upfront medical I used in applying for SOWP smd Visit Visa. I am used to seeing "medical passed". IOM had told me after the medical that the results are good. I hope all is well

Creativebelle:
Ok thank you...

On the new portal,there are a lot of options..I am confused
Hence ,my question

Profgordons:



My advice for you will be to go to the old portal and apply for SOWP

skull4eva:
Please I have a question if someone did medical in july last year is the medical still active by now? If yes why is IRCC requesting for medical again from such a person? Am confused please help out. This is still june nah. Can the person send the active medical?

SOPWriter:
The medical test is valid for a year. Chronologically, it's already 12 months. The IRCC is right on this one. Your current medical certificate is nugatory! Consequently, I would advise you to go for another as soon as you can.

I wish you good luck.

I really don't think you should talk about infertility. Reason for your spouse to join you can be to provide emotional support so you can concentrate on your studies

Hello fams, thank you for your good work here.
On behalf of a colleague, who's a student in Canada. His wife got her SOWP when she was left with just 8 months on her passport. She intends to extend it, would she apply like a fresh application, or is there any link for this kind of extension? Any suggestion on the relevant docs she needs to submit?

An application link will be appreciated (old or new portal?).

Thank you for your suggestions.
