Weird post, but can people please drop their waiting/ approval timelines, so those of us that are just applying will have an idea of the recent processing time.

Thanks

Hello everyone, please I need help and advice on how to go about my children’s application. I'm a little bit confused about their status here now.
We just moved to Canada as a family. My wife came here as a student (Study Permit) and I was given a Spouse Open Work Permit based on my wife’s status (student). We moved to Canada with our children who were issued study permit based on their mother’s status as a student. They are now in a public elementary school.
My wife just got her Post Graduate Work Permit approved and she is working now, I got my spouse open work permit too, but my children’s study permit will expire in a few months’ time.
There is no information on what to do for my children status, when their study permits expire.
What do I do next for my children?

I believe you and your wife are working legally. Your children are safe, no cause for alarm. You can find out from the authority on the steps to take but I'm certain your kids are perfectly safe

Update, Just got my medical updated to pass after 2month of review for the sowp... This wait thou,

teelady:
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.

Apply for extension of the study permit for the kids

Good day everyone, please am trying to submit my sowp. How do I go about submitting. I have uploaded every documents and gotten to the payment summary but I don't know how to proceed. There is no forward button that will take me to where to make payment s on GCkey. Kindly help.

Once you upload all required documents, the proceed/submit/continue button should become active. Just click on it and continue to payment. NOTE: That button wont become active until you upload all required docs.

Good day all,

I’m new to this platform and I’ll like some information for anyone who can help out.

I’m about to apply for a student study permit in Canada, recently got married ( Introduction and court wedding were done. All my documents are complete as I’ve gone through a checklist on this platform already. Still working on the POF.

If possible I’ll like to travel with my wife , was thinking how possible this would be

Would also like some advice on how to process this whole thing from the beginning as I’m an absolute beginner


Thank you

Thank you for your response. I have uploaded all required documents but it isn't active.

I am afraid you are doing something wrong cos once you upload all required docs, the button automatically become active so you can click on it to continue. Please take a minute and check everything once again to be sure

Titiwealth:

Thank you for your response. I have uploaded all required documents but it isn't active.

Good Evening Lovely People,

My heart is full of joy which words cannot express. My application has been approved after a long wait.

I'm glad I got the passport request today.

Thank you @sweetjj, skilleva, gauel and everybody that gave hints on the documents to be included when I asked. May God bless you all in abundance.

I'd like to know which collection office (Abuja or Lagos) should I submit my passport for stamping that has faster processing time.

If I'm sending to Abuja, where do I do the submission?

My biometrics was done in Lagos 5yrs ago, can't seem to find the slip. What do I replace it?

I've downloaded the consent form would sign it and attach.

Kindly guide me on what to do in order to avoid errors.

To all waiting like I did, may God give you all glad tidings soonest. Keep the hope alive.

Thank you all.

Great congratulations,

If you want it faster, you can send to Abuja through DHL. If not in haste, submit in person at Lagos office. If you can’t find your biometrics slip, you may need to pay for another transmission fee. I stand to be corrected

SOWP PPR is here!....

Hello house, please rejoice with me as my wife's PPR just dropped. We applied on June 16 2022, review started first week in August and medical was updated to pass on August 8 (did upfront medical). Bvl letter sent on August 17th, and ever since then, no update!

Although we were worried why BVL was sent without PPR, we were calm as the application has been processed faster than we expected (65 wks processing time as at the time we submitted in June)

But on seeing the message that @Kam3 posted this morning that her/his PPR already dropped, I was motivated to contact IRCC since Kam3 submitted his/her application in July while we submitted June.

I immediately wrote an email to IRCC, explaining that we were yet to hear back from them since BVL was sent. I immediately received a confirmation email that I will be responded to in 5 working days. Since it's late here Canada, I was just about going to bed when my wife called that I should check her gmail for an email from IRCC.

Lo and behold, PPR message has dropped! That was just like 28 mins after I sent the email to IRCC.

I am happy to provide details of necessary docs that were submitted if anyone is interested in that. I am also happy to provide guidance for any future SOWP applicants. Meanwhile, my wife and I got married in December 2021, and I returned to Canada in January 2022. She just finished her undergraduate studies last month, so this good news is coming at the right time!

I want to use this medium to return all thanks and praises to Almighty God who facilitated my wife's SOWP.

I also want to thank everyone on this platform who has been so helpful in responding to messages, and providing necessary guidance on the SOWP application. Without your help and testimonies here, we wouldn't have been able to put forward a very strong application.

And for those of us still waiting for a decision, yours is next! Regularly pray about your application and don't lose hope.

And just an advice, when sending message to IRCC, be humble, praise them first, acknowledge that you understand they are dealing with lots of applications before making your request.

Thank you, Master JESUS!!!

Good day restricted, do you have links to sure plugs for this at a good rate?

Congratulations!!!

Which of the following jobs would be better for a work permit application:
- bank marketer for a major bank
- PA to a CEO of a security company
- HIV mobile tester for a HIV clinic
- English teacher.

Your thoughts are welcome.

Good morning all,

I’m looking towards applying for September next year academic session for a graduate program in Canada. I’m recently married, I’m applying for just myself and my dad is my sponsor.

If my wife is to apply for SWOP should my visa be granted, would the fact that my dad is my sponsor affect my wife’s application for Swop ?

Please help

Apply for yourself first and when u get your visa your wife can now apply for SOWP but in as much as your dad is your sponsor try and have your personal funds and property in your name

Thank you
