Good day everyone,

My study permit is expiring in July 2024 but i m finishing my course in April 2024, when filling imm forms for spouse n kids what duration should I put specifically then ending date? The one on the study permit or admission letter?

Also for study permit for kids the part that says admission letter/enrollment form what should be there?

Lastly the amount for living expenses n tuition available on the imm form for kids what should I input? Is it the total money I all be declaring that is available for our stay?

Thank you for your swift response in advance 🙏

Good evening everyone,

Please how do I go about applying VV for a baby less than a month bearing in mind that both parents visas have been approved? SOWP and study visa
Will the baby need to do medicals and biometric?

Also on buying the flight ticket, how do I bypass the payment on booking for a return ticket for the baby since it’s a vv visa??

Thank you in advance as I await a response.
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by AlphaLady(f): 5:12pm On Nov 10, 2023
Applied August 31st, biometric 13th of September, got my decision 24th of October. Also had to send web forms.
Jeboy:
Please who has SOWP timeline of late August. I applied Aug 28th, medical passed 1st Sept. and since two months plus it has been on Background Check.

After many mails and web forms pleading for intervention I just got informed by IRCC agents on call that BG is completed and Eligibility is pending (ongoing) which is yet to reflect on my portal. How many more days do I wait as I have already booked my flight for 13th November. The financial implication of changing to a near date (over 500k) is really killing.

Anyone knows what Qatar air charges for flight cancelation for a refund?

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Lindyadam: 12:14am On Nov 11, 2023
Hi everyone, please, I have some questions. When filling out the family information form, is my spouse supposed to fill in Yes or No in the space asking if I will accompany him to Canada? I am asking because I am already in Canada. Secondly, what would he put as my address? Would it be the one in Canada or Nigeria? Thank you.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by lyndaoyewole(f): 2:32pm On Nov 11, 2023
one more question. the morning of the journey, must she buy a return ticket from egyptair or she can just buy a ticket from another airline? like just a ticket from Toronto to lagos for the vv minor?

Glock22:


They left an hour ago.

Study visa will not require return tickets.

For the child on VV, don’t buy the ticket until the morning of departure. I used a $CAD credit card.

I bought it this morning because all airlines allow you to cancel any flight you buy within 24 hours of purchase.

As soon as they let them through, I cancelled it.

In my case the VV was 1 year old, so I bought an adult ticket and added her as infant.

Good luck.

Thanks @Alphalady, I have hope.

My Background Check got completed last week but not reflected on my portal yet. Don't know why Nairobi is so slow in my case.

Did you recently travel to the UK, US, Australia, Japan or Schengen. I heard the Background check of people who have traveled to this country helps to reduce the time and complexity of their Background check which takes 80% of the timeline.

It will be safer for u to rebook that ticket probably for first week of december. But they sometimes drop ppr on weekend in the evening so u may wait till morning before u rebook. All the best

Thanks. I have made it open to free myself from pressure and it's free by Qatar Airways. I can call them to pick a date of my choice when I am ready.

Let me use this time to prepare for my PMP Exams. Thanks bro.

I welcome my family to Canada on Sunday. The procedure is seamless. At the CBSA, they requested my means of identification from my wife and inquired how long I had been here. To everyone waiting to unite with their family, I wish you all good news soonest. We shall reap the good fruits of this Canada in Jesus' name.

Your congratulations is close by.

Quickly send 2 documents to them: 1. Your spouse's updated transcripts and 2. Your spouse's enrollment letter.

Cheers.

Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by DripDude: 8:50am On Nov 14, 2023
Please I need candid advise, and will be happy to get great responses from the house

In july, I applied for visitor's visa as "legally separated" and got the visa approved this november. My divorce also got finalized in August and I am marrying my fiancee this december.

My fiancee is currently schooling in canada and her student visa expires in May 2024, though her program ends in september so she will process an extension, sh also qualifies for a 3-year pgwp after school

My questions are

1- Is it ok to apply for SOWP in december, will it in anyway affect the Visitor's Visa that I already have
2- Do I need to update my marital status before applying for SOWP, if so, where do I do that
3- What is the best way to package my application and what is a reasonable POF for this

Thank you all in anticipation
Re: Canada Spouse Open Work Permit (sowp)timeline by Oluwaloniglory7: 10:51pm On Nov 14, 2023
You can change your visitor visa to SOWP by flagpole. Why can't you wait till December to legally marry your new wife?

Then I believe you can use your visitor visa to travel to Canada and flagpole to change your vv to SOWP
