Above all, we just trusted God for it. My wife & daughter's visa was approved in Nairobi - Kenya and noticed that visa was even issued on August 23, 2018 prior to my travel. When I arrived Canada, I sent them a copy of my study permit (September 6, 2018) and Letter of enrolment- SOWP and TRV was already approved before I sent it; guess somebody forgot to send out the passport - only to see an email from VFS for the collection of their passport same day.

It is always good to check with them. My study was approved in less than 3weeks but I got it after 6weeks - when I wrote Nairobi, they replied same day that my case was finalized weeks back(same day, I got an email from VFS)...

For those waiting.. trust him and I am sure it will end in praise.
