hazzaman:So here is the full gist as promised. Spouse left for Canada April 2021 for a 2 years PG Diploma. Weighed my options during that period and figured that visit was quite faster than SOWP so went for visit. 1st Visit visa application was submitted June 6, 2021. Then the long wait started. Explored the Travel Authorisation to expedite the processing but they didn’t see my reason as good enough. Then they new portal thing came up for those that applied before sept 7th. So I applied for the 2nd visit visa using the new portal in October,2021. Refusal for the 2nd application came in November,2021 with 2 reasons… travel history and insufficient funds. At that time, I was already processing a student visa to UK as naija don tire me. So I just focused on the Uk application. Resumed studies in Uk in January 2022 and applied for gcms notes. Gcms notes came in April only for me to find out that the insufficient fund was because the officer could not access the mybank statement portal. I was like they could have asked me to present another statement na… So in June 2022, I had already gathered documents and was weighing options again. At that time, visit visa processing from Uk was 8 days while work permit was 10 weeks. So I opted for visit visa. And the wait began… processing time started increasing till it got to around 145 days… after the 145 days I started sending webforms and email but to no avail. I started giving up and was already working on getting a skilled work visa in uk and settle here. Then spouse said we should try the SOWP. I was very reluctant. Started the application since 29th October but didn’t submit till 9th of December. Submitted 9th December Biometrics updated 10th December PPR and BVL 15th December Submitted passport 16th December Passport returned to VFS 20th December Passport delivered 21st December It can only be God. Don't lose hope! Thanks to everyone that have contributed here. It has been a very long journey… 20 Likes |

Congratulations to you guys. This timeline dịkwa very mind-blowing. This is how fast IRCC should be in application processing. But unfortunately they only reserve such speed to applications made in certain countries. Well, I guess our poor institutional verification systems in Nigeria contribute too to the delay. hazzaman: 1 Like |

oshinrizle: Hello I hope you get to see this I have tried to send a message personally. I am in a similar issue they are yet to request for the statement and I worried the visa officer might just reject the application i was hoping to submit the statement before they ask I tot about webform but there has been a rule not to send documents thru webforms unless they ask for it. I am hoping you can please share the mail you forwarded your statement to Thank you |

Hi Everyone, treat it as urgent!!! Will my wife and daughter require a digital photo for the SOWP and Visit visas on Gckeys? My approved study permit, which I submitted through the New portal last year, didn't require a digital photo, and even a visit visa on the new portal didn't need to. If YES, Pls any recommended Photo lab (Ikeja, Ikorodu axis). OR, Can any photographer take a digital photo so far they follow the photo guideline? |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by ShowYoung: 3:13am On Dec 24, 2022 |
kennyjoy: Yes, digital photo is needed if you are applying through GCkey. You can use your phone to snap. The dimension needed is 35mm by 45mm or follow the instructions here thoroughly https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/temporary-resident-visa-application-photograph-specifications.html 1 Like |

ShowYoung: Can you send the link for the general webform? I uploaded my medical screening paper on the webform but till now my medical request has not been updated. What do I do? |
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by ShowYoung: 7:07am On Dec 25, 2022 |
Jeffi7: Kindly find the link below; https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx As for the medical report, even if you didn't upload anything, your profile would be updated as soon as the panel clinic uploads it for IRCC to access. You should still upload it though. 2 Likes |

On this particular App, you can see various Passport format and sizes for different countries. Just select the country you need, and the Passport size format will be given to you. Finish... |
