Hello Everyone, please does anyone have a sample gift deed for asset (landed property). Can I just get a letter from the person giving, stating he gifted me, and reason for the gift? Is affidavit needed? what of notary (I don't want to do this because it is expensive, they usually want to collect 10%-20% of the cost of the asset)? Do i need to change the name on the document to mine? Who should sign? And any information you think I might need for asset gift deed?

Thank you

For a gift of deed or gift deed, u need to authorize it by a legal practitional most important the federal high court. Also u need to notorize it after the deed has been signed and approved. This is to show that the document with you is the same as the original signed document by the high court.

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.

Hello house, please I need some advice.
Wife got approved for SOWP and daughter got visitor visa. Issue is I have a little more than one month left on my study permit. My international passport expires in about one year when I got the study permit for a two year MSc programme. I have applied for extension of study permit.

Please, I want to know if wife and daughter can travel to Canada without any issue. More importantly, I want to know if I can book a one-way flight ticket.

The other question has to do with IRCC POE letter of introduction (LOI). Wife has gotten LOI from the IRCC since Thursday but our daughter is yet to receive her LOI. Please, I want to know if this is not an issue.

Application timeline;
November, 2021: Application submitted with upfront medicals for wife only as the document checklists says.
December 2021: Biometric capturing for wife only
Early June 2022: IRCC send medical requests for wife and daughter.
Late June 2022: Medicals done by gate crashing at IOM. IOM advised wife to also do new medicals because IRCC insists on it.
July, 2022; Medicals passed and passport request.

On your wife sowp and daughters VV u need ur daughters LOI because she wont be allowed to enter without that. Now on ur study permit i will advice u focus on the extension more keenly infact i believe ur spouse should get less than 1month sowp too and at dat u need to keep mailing IRCC explaining ur situation and seeking for quick help on the LOI thing so that ur spouse and daughter can come in asap. It is easier and faster to renew sowp in canada than to reapply from nigeria. My 2cents

When is her studies finish? If she has more study time she can go to her IRCC portal and extend her study permit. But it takes some time so let the spouse submit her passport for stamping she will most likely get 8months sowp too and whe the spouse enter canada she can get a longer sowp too

Thank you for your response. Maybe I didn't make myself clear enough.
Both of them are in Canada already, his husband is a student and still has over one year for his studies. She accompanied her husband to Canada on SOWP, but her passport only had 8 months validity then, so she was given just 8 months based on her passport expiry date. Now, she want to extend the SOWP because she got a new passport already.
So my questions:
Would she apply like fresh SOWP or there is a link to extend it?

A link to the extension will be helpful.
Thanks.

U will need 5k for you and 4k for your child. Also, you need to balance your spouse tuition as well as show some money for your spouse living expenses

Does it mean I should pay up the balance of her school fees before I can apply? Secondly, do I need to prove I have the necessary cash needed for my kid's education.

Ur kid does not need cash to go to school until college or university level. Up to high school its kind of free so no need to show proof for her education. It is adviceable u show full tuition payment for your spouse before you apply it show financial buoyancy

Thank you for your response.
Is this compulsory? Can't the PA book and do medical first if the spouse is not available to do it the same time?

Not compulsory at all. It's actually up to you. The PA can book first then Spouse can book later. Upfront is just to safe the stress of looking for a closer date when IRCC request for medical.

@Perripilzz

Your questions seem both unclear and ambiguous. Are you able to simplify them and state what application you wish to submit?

Be that as it may, please note that all applications now are made online, hence no requirement to submit physical passport photographs. You will only upload soft passport photographs where needed.

Perripilzz:
Good evening everyone. Please I’ll really appreciate if anyone will kindly answer my question as I’m confused at the moment. Please how many passport photographs should I submit? In the passport photograph section I saw the requirements for three different imm forms, should I submit three different passport photographs or just one? or do I submit a passport photograph with each imm forms in their different sections? Someone should please help me answer
