Please can you explain the part where you said you applied for visiting visa for you child that is not up to 5years

Any child above 5years can start a school and would require a study visa to come while below five is pre school or creche and requires a visiting or travel visa. I actually filled study visa forms for the two of them but at VFS in Lagos we were so advised (Infact they didnt collect the study visa form for the age below five) so we had to fill another form for travel visa (TRV) for the child as against study permit.

Thanks a lot. What exactly did the GCMS say for employment situation? As well as the other refusal reasons

KlausMike:


‘I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay based on
- personal asset and financial status
- Employment situation
-family ties in home country and Canada

I provided more details from my wife’s place of work - introduction letter, bank statement showing salary payment, payslips. I also provided documents showing ownership of our house in Nigeria worth over 60 million Naira, CAC document showing 20% ownership of family business with cash flow of over 500million Naira and bank statement showing payments from the business, and attached bank documents from my Canadian bank account showing a 1 year fixed deposit of $50000 and about $25000 closing balance from chequing account and savings account. I applied using an agent here in Canada. So he helped to put everything together and clarified in details our circumstance based on the information from the GCmS note. More details were provided sha, this is not every.. the agent was quite detailed in his letter of explanation

Hello House,

Congratulations to all who have received visa to travel with their family. This is indeed a winning team and I thank God for directing me to this thread.

I intend to travel with my hubby and son for my MSc in Canada but I have a question as I am about to submit my own study visa application. Can I include my hubby and 6year old son as family tie and then apply for them when I get my own visa? Has anybody done this before? Or must you indicate that they would join you in your study visa application?

Please experts and friends kindly respond to me so I can avoid mistakes in packaging my application.

It's advisable to apply alone and use your family as tiers but note that in your SOP you must outline plans on how your kid will be well taken care of and give more information on future plans to finish your MSc, join your kid and family, in bold, don't state in any part of your application that your family will join you in Canada as the VO might sees this as a means to relocate and not to study.

When your application get approved you can apply for them both.

I am not an expert, others can also help with comment.

Many thanks, HonWise. It is really getting clearer now. Please other big Bros and Sis can also weigh in.

Thanks allot boss

If you filled study visa form for your kids the you must have uploaded an acceptance form from their proposed school in Canada. Please how did you get school acceptance letter you used for the application or is there an alternative?

The visiting or open work both depends on the PA's study visa for a continued stay. As long as the PA is still having valid study visa,then maybe PGWP after study any dependants ( be it open work or study or visit) don't have issues before ultimately applying for PR.

I guess I fairly answer the question based on little I know. Others can equally add.

All the best

Exactly, that was what I suppose but I couldn't secure acceptance in any school for the kid. So I used both my own institution DLI, address and name in place of the child.Then other details of the child can fit in. With this the forms can be fill successfully..

All the best.

Thank you

I congratulate you @Ymin and others so far. This group has been a very helpful one. Started reading from zero till this very page, and I have actually learnt meaningfully from old and new active members, such as Ruth22, KONJI GUY, not his Id though, HOUSE WIFE, IYALODEOFCANADA and co. This is my first time of talking here, but not that new.. I used to be a silent reader, actually! MY REQUEST, I will like you to share that your motivating SOP/LOE with me. I promise not to engage in any form of plagiarism. Just need it as a clue to blend as I will soon start my own application. Thanks. egunjobimayowa@gmail.com is the mail. Thanks



quote author=Ymin post=83807857]Thank you everyone.


Documents Submitted:

All Ircc required forms
Passport and Visa copy for me.
SOP Stating why she needs to be with me in Canada for moral support towards my studies. I stated the purpose which is to go along with me,highlighted financial part ,home ties using our parents and properties.
I actually applied for them 2 weeks after I got my study visa while still in Nigeria,so I wrote the letter in anticipation of approval so we could go together cos I have seen it happening here before,so we had to make it so persuasive kind of.
My admission letter,scholarship offer from my university in Canada.
My employment letters,certificates etc
The SOA used for mine which covers their living expenses for a year like 4k for wifey and 3k each for kids since the scholarship already covers my own expenses. These comprises of fixed deposit funds and current account balances in my account.

We did not submit police report even during my own study visa as well. We did not also submit any family pics of us together cos I heard vfs dont take pics sometimes ago but don't know how true that is. I would have love to add some to prove relationship had it been we use Online application but we did paper.
I could not also secure admission for my son for school in Canada (Above 5 years) while in Nigeria cos they are asking for lease/rental agreement and I am yet to even travel then. For the child that is less than 5 years,we applied for visiting visa while wife is SOWP


Spouse documents:
Employment letter,work ID and training certifications and School certificates
Statement of account,just to show she is earning salary not necessarily with any significant closing balance
Marriage cert,birth cert for her and children
Change of name affidavit and newspaper publication

I think its just the basic documents. Then we trust God for grace and the application was progressing well from eligibility review,medical request(They did not do upfront medical),medical passed,bvl and approval exactly 2 days plus the 14 weeks processing time when we applied in July 26th 2019.

Thanking God for the journey so far and trusting Him for more approvals for these wonderful winning team.

All the best!

This is good.��

From the trend of applications, so far, it seems paper applications progresses faster than online route, contrary to what’s stated on the IRCC site.

Medical call or medical passed?
