Hello Everyone, been a while!

I felt this information will be vital for those planning to apply.

Got the info from a reliable source that cic gives open work permit for 5yrs if your passport duration is up to 5yrs, but could not share the info here cos I was not sure, until I applied for my open work permit renewal 3wks ago, and my application was approved this morning with 5yrs validity, expires same day as my Int'l passport.

If you are yet to apply, kindly renew your passport before applying, so the validity can be to the end of your passport, and the advantage is when your spouse finishes his/her studies, and apply for post graduate work permit (post graduate work permit will be given to her, and visitor's visa inside Canada will be given to you) you can still be working with your permit, until he or she get a job in NOC 0,A or B, and you can apply for a new open work permit, if you guys have not gotten PR already.

Also, for those already approved, and are in Canada or about coming, on your correspondence letter, cic said you should get a private health insurance, you dont have to buy a private health insurance, as you can get a health card if you are in Ontario or will be coming to Ontario from Service Ontario by getting a letter from your employer with the details below; and take the letter to Service Ontario,
-that the employee is working full time
-the Title/Occupation of the position
-that the employee will be working for the company within Ontario
-the start date of the employment
-that the employer intends to employ the employee for a minimum of 6months.

I wish everyone still waiting for cic approval and those planning to apply all the best.

You guys should be patient with cic, i really understand what it takes to be apart with your spouse.

When you come here, you will see that the wait worth it (You will become a millionaire in naira few months ���).

This is great info. Thanks

A million dollar piece! Thanks bro, how's Ottawa?

I am not sure if mine has changed yet because I used an agent and she's the one that checks my account. Will confirm from her though. I got to know about this forum after applying, if not, I would have graciously done the whole application myself.
Anyway, God will favor our applications.

All the best ma'am

I am sorry I had to take a break but let's keep the thread alive especially for those coming behind just the way our seniors did for us.

Hello Everyone, please for God sake I need help and advice on how to go about my application. I'm new on this thread and my situation is complicated.

I got married 2015 but before d marriage my husband and I applied for student visa which mine was granted and he was denied, he allowed me to travel a week after our wedding because lectures have started. We then decided again that he should reapply again in 2016 for student visa but he was denied again.

So, I came back to Nigeria September 2016 after my one year PGD program to be with my husband because there was already so much pressure from families that how can my husband allow me to travel a week after the wedding without me being pregnant. But before coming in September 2016 have already extended my study permit with the hope that I will conceive and return back in January 2017 to start my second program. Everything did not go as planned, I'm yet to conceive till this very moment and my vise expire December 2017.

In January 2017 we both applied for US visa for vacatuon but we were both denied and since then have suffered depression mainly because I couldn't conceive and family pressure.

Now, PLEASE kindly advise me on what to do. I don't want this opportunity to fade away.
1. Should I go back to Canada to extend my study permit despite d fact I did not use the visa on it and it will expire December 2017, and apply for SOWP for my husband?

OR

2. Should I apply for post graduate work permit and SWOP for my husband now?

Pls help me with advise.
