Praise God!!!! What God cannot do does not exist.

Hi Everyone, I am here to share my testimony and also drop the timeline of my application. It hasn’t been an easy road but God finally completed His work and to Him I return all the glory.
This was my second SOWP visa application as I had put in my first application together with my wife’s first study permit application early 2021 and both applications got refused. We had retained initially retained the services of a very reputable IRCC registered consultant in Canada and spent so much for this service, so getting a refusal on both applications had taken us off balance. In that confusion and desperation for a quick solution, I had gotten online and discovered the Study Permit thread on Nairaland which I thoroughly read through for weeks and kept coming across a particular name with people singing his praises and how he helped transform their cases and refusals to approvals through his detailed touch “Frankrobb”, I took a leap of faith and reached out to him and I must confess, that was one of the greatest decisions I ever made. After consulting with him, we agreed my wife applied alone for her second study permit application and when she gets the visa and arrives Canada, I apply for my SOWP to join her which we did and here we are, all visas approved to the praises, glory and thanks to God almighty. I want to also use this medium to appreciate Mr Frank for his hard work and also being a blessing to my family’s application success, your cup will never run dry, men will favour you and come to your aid before you ask. Amen.

Congratulations. Frank and richard are very good at that. I thank God for them and many others.

I was pregnant and I informed them and I was approved. I applied for study permit though not SOWP..

Although most people did advice against it Sha...so I don't know, it depends on you..

Pls can a second class lower degree with a 12yr study gap and about 8yrs working experience get me a Masters admission in Canada? If yes, what are the prospects of getting entry for my family of 5?

Once it is decleared that she is pregnant then u can do an loe around that. But do you have the finances to have a child here asap

It depends on your explanation of the study gap. If u are a matured applicant and have the finances to fund ur education and family relocation then why not? But getting a masters with 2.2 is very unlikely its a case that is rare. But getting a college PGC or PGD is very possible and a very good option

Thank you. For the 1yr PGC or PGD, would you advice I apply alongside dependants or it is better I secure my permit first before they later apply?

Hello house,

Please when submitting a SOWP, what visa should i submit for the children, study permit or visiting ?

Thanks

Two ghost update so far, last upper week and last week....this alone can give someone bp, medical isn't updated since April that I applied, just showing"we are reviewing your medical result" application review started 02 august, even the visit visa I applied with my kids may, only the kids medicals were updated July and that was it...my medical was also stating same thing in the visit visa, if not that I feel very healthy and I have done personal check ups, this people would have killed me with thinking. I have sent webform enquiring, pleading and requesting....but from today henceforth am done, when they are ready they would reach out.......if no be Nigeria wey dey fall person hand sef....the rest is with God sha, wishing everyone waiting all the best.

Similar situation with me. No update from London processing office, not even medicals has been updated since months now. We are passed the UK processing time, right now we are hoping for the best. It's well

Depends on the kids age. Less than 5, apply for visitor visa, above 5 apply for study permit.

I hope this helps. All the best.

Ghost update means they are working on your file. Hang in there, I know it is not easy because I also applied April 28th. I used email to finish them, I don't know if it works for or against sha. Summary of the story is that my kids application came in July ending and probably they punished me for sending them emails upon emails by delaying my husband's own till August 19th.

All the best!

Please, can we have landing jist of anyone who travelled with kids recently?

Can we have first hand experience regarding Covid-19 requirements for the kids.

Thank you for your time.

My wife travelled with 3 kids on 25th August, 2022. The rule is that a fully vaccinated parent can travel with unvaccinated kids who are less than 12 years old. This is her case. So, all the kids were allowed to travel with her without stress. Also, fill your arriveCan at least 72 hours before your arrival in Canada. One form is ok so long you include accompanying kids. All the food she carried were packaged and sealed, so no issues. She didn't carry meats, vegetables and milk though. I remember she had the LOI and study permits for everyone handy, alongside the documents relating to her school. That's basically it

skull4eva:

I mentioned the pregnancy on her SOP. someone told me her delivery will be free here in alberta. If she gets the visa before the delivery.


Now about funds. I have paid tuition for first year. The other year is 17k. Does it mean I need to show
Living expenses for 2 years for everyone? Or just living expenses for first year

Sweetness24:
My wife applied for sowp while pregnant and it was approved,

Thanks alot. I appreciate

My wife applied for sowp while pregnant and it was approved,

Please how did you write your SOP around it.

Hello. I was meant to understand that for a 1yr PGD/PGC, applying to go with my family of 5 is a red flag due to the duration of the course. I was also meant to understand that I can only qualify for 1year PGWP after a one year PGD/PGC program. This means that it would still be a red flag to apply for my family to join me in Canada at that time due to the duration of my PGWP (1yr). My questions are:

1. Does that mean I can only relocate my family to Canada when I get PR (after may be 3yrs) if I choose to go the route of a PGD/PGC?

2. How does someone with a second class lower degree take his family along to Canada using the study route?

3. Can my 10yr work experience alongside my 2:2 get me a direct Masters Degree admission in Canada?

4. Can a Canadian PGD/PGC certificate be used to secure a Masters Degree admission into a Canadian University?

Sorry you still have to pay the 9410 even if you did capture in Lagos..just yesterday vfs called to make that payment, yet I did my biometrics in Lagos.. pls go ahead to pay the 9410, from experience.

SweetJJ:


Google consent form Canada immigration. Sign on the second page, you pay 9410, if you did not capture in Lagos.

Kindly go back few pages on this thread to see the full documents required for submission. Congratulations again

Thanks for this but a child of 12 years , will he have to get vaccinated at POE since here in Nigeria vaccination is 18 and above

Living expenses for a year should be fine but i will advice u show a plan on how the second one will be paid and in doing that avoid stating the you will work to pay in canada.

If it is 1year then applying with family looks somehow except there is a crucial need. Becos you will need to assure the VO that u will return after studies. So going for a two year program is ur best shot. This was my previous advice.
The truth is before now some 2years back 1years PGD with family application alongside might have worked. But these days it is tougher to convince a VO that u will return with ur family after 1year program.
Also for sure u will get a one year PGWP after 1year program but that is not an issue you just need to get enrolled in another school for another 1year befoee applying gor the PGWP so that u can get 3years PGWP.
Also if u decide to go through the one year program alone then move your family in later you dont need to get PR before u apply for them. While you are studying you can apply for them based on emotional reasons. But if it is one year the vo might just overlook it since your program is not long. Hence my advice of a two year PGC or PGD program.
Getting a masters with a 2.2 is not easy like i said it is rare to find except your last two final semesters was very high. And moreso you left school like 10years ago so ur best short is PGD or PGC.
Yes your PGD or PGC can secure you an Msc after studies but i assure you that except you are very determined you wont ply that route. Because studying after you are used to making money and being a boss isnt a days job so your eyes will be on working immediately after studies

You mean there are universities/colleges in Canada who run 2yrs PGD/PGC programs? I thought they are all for a year duration and that was why I was worried.

Please keep emailing them.

I was thinking it'll be too early before.

Please kindly help with the email to send to please..

Oh really? Then that's new. What I know is that if you do biometrics in Lagos and you are sending your passport to Lagos for stamping, then you do not need to pay the transmission fee. The same goes with Abuja. But if you are sending your passport to Abuja while your biometrics was done in Lagos you need to pay and vice versa.

I hope you submitted your biometrics slip anyways.
