I salute everyone in this room.

I am new in this room. I have gone through all most all the post in this thread.

I applied for SOWP Via :Online 
Timeline (submitted online 14th June and biometrics 18th of June )
Since then I have not heard from CIC.
Going through other people's experience, just find out that it's only God that can make it possible for them to approve my application.

Hmmmm

Only God can do it.
I wonder what cic is waiting for knowing I didn't submit any thing that shows a strong tie to naija.

Relax, have a positive mindset. I submitted my wife and son application online on may 30 waiting for decision to be made which I know it'll end in praise.

Mine is June 14 too. I did my biometrics on the 16th. 18th of June is a Sunday, are you sure that was when you did your biometrics?
I wonder why this delay..

Sorry, I mean 19th June.

Congratulations sir. All the best! I believe this good news will rekindle our hopes for successful applications.

In my opinion, I think you should use vfs.

Good morning house,
I am new to this forum but have read all the threads.
My wife got a study permit in June 2017 and has long resumed studies in Canada. We paid full tuition for one year and I am her sponsor.
I applied for a visiting visa for myself n 3 sons to visit her since August and only just got refused last week. I had an account balance of NGN4million. I added all evidence of employment etc as ties to Nigeria.
The reason for refusal stated was "Purpose of visit".
My wife is really devastated by this refusal n is affecting her studies as she has never been away from our boys.
She's also pregnant and due for delivery in March 2018.

My questions are:

1. I am confused whether to reapply for the visiting visa or just opt for the SOWP. Considering my wife's present condition I need to be with her as fast as possible.

2. Should I indicate that she is pregnant in my reapplication? She already has health insurance in place.

3. Also do I request for the GCMS for this refused application? How long does it take to get it?

So sorry for the refusal sir and I quite understand how it feels like to be away from one's spouse even for just 1day.
You should have waited for her to get enrolled in september before applying, not for visitors visa but for Open work permit, the refusal rate of visitors visa is very high especially for spouses. You are most qualified to apply for a spouse open work permit

My questions are:

1. I am confused whether to reapply for the visiting visa or just opt for the SOWP. Considering my wife's present condition I need to be with her as fast as possible.
Please apply for SOWP asap and let the count down begins, March is still very achievable as processing times around 20weeks
2. Should I indicate that she is pregnant in my reapplication? She already has health insurance in place.
I don't think it's necessary, our gurus can do justice to this
3. Also do I request for the GCMS for this refused application? How long does it take to get it?
You can request for gcms note if you're reapplying for visitors visa, but if you are opting for SOWP, it's a unique application.

Stanley@Kc4all, My phone got lost and have been trying to get your contact but to no avail. Please try call as soon as get my message I need to pass a vital information to you.

Sorry about your delay. But there is no set of document ation that guarantees approval. Kindly take your time to get as much documention as needed that suits ur profile. Read thru the thread from pg 1.
If u are coming for sowp. Ur study permit or work permit of your spouse needs to have a long validity,
Enough funds to show u and your spouse can meet any financial commitment ( tuition , rent, health insurance etc) your marriage documentation and a well drafted letter detailing why you can't be away from your spouse and a well detailed plan on how you both intend to go back to Nigeria. These are generic but u can add more things dat suits your profile. Also what were the reason stated for refusal ( thats a good way to start reapplying).

Thank you Markab,
I would go the sowp route. My wife's study permit is 2 yrs and she has collected her enrollment letter.

I am gathering other documents needed to apply. I was advised to ensure a minimum balance of 10 million. Please is this accurate for me n my 3 sons.

Also I was asked to ensure my wife has a balance of 4000CAD at least. Is this also necessary, since I am her sponsor?

What else do I need to gather please apart from the

1. study permit from spouse
2. enrollment letter from spouse
3. Bank statement
4. Proof of employment
5. Proof of school for my kids
6. LOE

Also can anyone help with a sample LOE.
