Timeline
Application date : Oct 28th
Biometrics done and updated: 31st October 2023
PPr : 8th Jan, 2024 for I am my son (visiting visa) and SOWP for me
May everyone who is still expecting receive favourable news soon in Jesus Name

Now my question
How do I pay for transmission fee for my son?

I really everyone for their contribution so far

nnamdi346:


We didn't apply together. I applied after hers was approved and visa placed in her passport.

She used me as home ties but in my SOWP application I ensured I explained the sudden change in plan (i.e why I decided to travel with her) in detail...just some subtle emotional blackmail...and it was approved.

OkukuOne:
Send them an email as well as webform. It happens, but a follow up is not a bad idea.

Congrats and best wishes.

Abbasdaughter:
Good afternoon everyone.....has anyone travelled recently (I mean this January) ?
My concern is the news that said we can't use Ghana must go bags anymore for international travels. Does that include that grey (somehow black and white dicedbag)....…?
I'm traveling soon and I'm confused right now and it's not helping me plan well at all...

I really don't want to pack my foodstuff in suitcase (traveling) bag because it won't be of use to me anymore once I get there and it will add to the weight

OkukuOne:
incorrect.

Begin by creating your own account and include your children in your application. You will require your wife's SP, an invitation letter, and various other supporting documents for your application.

Initiate the process by setting up a GCKey account. As you proceed, the steps will become clearer. Make sure to take your time and go through the thread carefully, as it contains plenty of useful information that will aid you in the process.

Good luck!

OkukuOne:
Building on folla's recommendation, I suggest that you gather all necessary documents and apply after three months. This approach tends to be more beneficial than applying after just one or two months. In cases where my clients have sufficient funds, I typically advise them to apply at the same time.

Good luck

@OkukuOne pls what do you mean by after 3 months? Is it 3 months after PPR or 3 months after applicant had settled in Canada b4 spouse and kids can start applying? Thank you

charlesoz19:
There is no need to wait for any period. The length of waiting does not affect the possible outcome, what does is the presentation of your application. Good POF, a strong reason to return, why you want your family to be around you and how you intend to take care of living expenses. The waiting is a waste of time. Make sure you include all the documents that gave you your visa and include the dependent you intend to go with. If your POF is good then you need to work more on the SOP and you wont regret it. The only regret will be that you wasted the time waiting for nothing. Please note (make sure you can prove beyond doubt that you are a DLI student. recently that is the only reason for most refusals. Put all your school-related documents).

Mamaoseme33:


Thank you so much for your response. However I want to ask if my spouse can use an account he opened this January with money fixed in it as POF? Note that I will add my own to it. And how much will be enough for 3 children above 5 but below 11 and a spouse for POF?

charlesoz19:
If you mean 2024 January, I will say NO. It's a red flag to open an account and use it immediately. The VO sees such as a demonstration of POF account. Instead, use an old account and explain with documents why you have a lump sum.

POF breakdown
student 20,650
each dependent 5500
you could get an accommodation for 1500 for 12 months (1500 x 12 =18,000
add your balance fee for 1 year. (e.g you paid the first semester and you have the second semester to pay add the balance to POF
after the total sum add 2000 for emergency

Please note that this is only an example and goes a long way to make your application easier.
However you decide to present your application, make sure you have explained and convinced yourself that even the slightest lie is true.

Don't be scared about trying you will dance in praise at the end.

Good day everyone.

Please I have serious dilemma. In 2021 me and my boyfriend applied for a study visa in Canada on the same day but separate applications and we both got our visas approved. He got 2 years visa and I got 1 year visa. We couldn’t travel because of one thing other. My own visa expired in 2022 and I couldn’t travel. His visa is expiring February 2024 but he travelled end of December 2023 so he has resumed classes and now he is about extended his study permit. We have both decided that I come over there under the spousal open work permit as his common law partner. Though I currently running my masters degree in Nigeria.
Please I just have a few questions;
1. Going there as his common law partner will it contradict the SOP I wrote earlier, how do I defend this so that i don’t contradict myself because I said I was studying that course to come and take over my dad’s business

No it wont. Plans do change and a good SOP that explains your intentions without making the previous intention a total lie will work.

2. Is it the bank account of my partner who is already in Canada that I will use as my sponsor or is it my bank account

You must show that you are working in your home country and not a liability to Canada. you must show you are not looking for a way to escape. so you must have a stable income or an account with decent flow and balance. both accounts is recommended.

3. If my partner got a cash gift of deed in his account would that affect if he can sponsor me or not?

Explain reasons on SOP and support with the document.

4. With the new increase in POF for study visa as of 1st January 2024, where a single applicant has to 20,635 CAD and if he is bringing a family member it’s 25,690 CAD. How much do I need to show as POF?

Add what ever expenses he will be making to the POF. ( flight. complete first year fee. accommodation etc)

5. Is it his gc key account we would use for this application or am I meant to create another gc key account to start my application since my study visa gc key account has expired?

Use your GC key. visa expired or not. will be wise to state why you did not travel with your previous visa on SOP
brief explanation. Canada appreciates transparency

6. Is it compulsory to show any notarized common law partnership certificate? Or can prove our relationship through pictures, texts conversations and the house we rented together?

Notarization is not important. proving that you telling the truth is most important. Eg joint account. shared bills. evidence of living together before he left. anything that showed you guys were living as partners

My answers are based on Experience and Ideas and so is not a must to acknowledge.
only use it as a guide and make your detailed research

Congratulations, so happy for you
we actually applied same day, SOWP for myself and visit Visa for my child, mine is still on process, eligibility hasn't started yet, background check is on process and it's worrisome.......did you at any point send web form?

Thank you
Oh....at some point my eligibility started after a long time of no update
Then we called ircc and we were told that Sowp typically takes up to 4 months that we don't have any update by February 15, we should send a webform
But we sent a webform three days later containing school fee receipt and fully updated result of my husband 1st semester and kept waiting until 8th of Jan
Also......my Gmail app didn't alert me I have a mail....but it's my practice to type ircc on the search button which I did on the 9th and found out that I have a mail from them..... please check regularly for updates

Adeola4568:
Hello,
My husband SOWP was refused in Nov 2022, we intend to reapply, please does he have to state the refusal and what he has done about it in his LOE.
The refusal was based on finance and assets.
I am open to feedbacks.
Thank you.

Mamaoseme33:
Gurus in the house, can we use my spouse's statement of account of only one month and my own that has been 6 months for POF for spouse SOWP and children SP? Will it fly?

folla:
Yes.

If I were your spouse, though, I would exercise a little patience and run my account for at least 3 months.

Cheers.
