Sure you can request for UPS delivery have u been approved ?

Yes, I've been approved already. I was told to submit my passport which I did at Abuja visa center on the 9th. I went back to follow it up on the 18th. I was told it's been discarded. Till now being 25th, I haven't been called for pickup. Only for me to call the office for enquiry, and was told I had an impending debt of 17900 for UPS payment which has prevented the passport from being returned to Abuja. My confusion is the fact of them not telling me about the debt the 2x I visited earlier.
So, I'm thinking if I really called their right office or 419 people.
Please can someone clear me on this?
Thanks!

Good morning house!
Please during passport submission for stamping, is there anything like UPS payment for delivery back to the visa center?

Please who is traveling Next Week?
Please what document would one be presenting at the Airport before leaving and at the Port of Entry Canada.

Has anyone that submitted their passport between the 1st week in December and now gotten it back? I thought it usually does take long to get it back.

Submitted mine 28th Nov(wednesday) and it was ready for collection the next week 4th-5th December(wednesday)

mikel88:
congratulations!! Really happy for you. London VO please Remember we may applicants for good. It will end in praise.

Amen!!!!!!!!!!!

I also have a friend that applied in June without medicals.

God will do it for everyone of us

Hi Waya, One can't really say whether London office handles all online applications. Applicants need to contact Canada immigration to know the office handling their application.

Okay, no problem dear. Thanks for the reply

Bab5:

It gives us hope that they have started looking into applications like April files.
May applicants get ready, then June....
It shall all end in praise...... Amen!!!!

Otn34:


No, I am currently a PhD student and my spouse's application was treated at the London office.

Congrats once more.
Who knows if London office are the ones handling other online applications. Sha, I heard they take time or delay much in handling applications, but end up with positive replies.
Is it possible for them to still reject after 5-6 months waiting?

Otn34:
Praise the Lord!!!! Passport Request for my spouse and three kids yesterday after three refusals!!.

Upfront Medical October 3rd
Medical Passed October 5th
Passport request November 15th!

For all others, it will surely end in praise!

Amen oooo. Congratulations!!
Does it mean they are just working on April files now?
It is well

Please, has CIC stopped attending to Nigeria SOWP applications?
Why have they refused to attend to applications submitted since May/June?
Or are they planning to carry it over to next year as the year is already running to an end?
What crime have we committed to deserve this long wait?
June 14th.........still on background check

Please! Any approval so far....
Please, can we post our timeline, just to help ourselves know the exact month CIC is working on.

Application submitted..........June 14th( Upfront medical)
Biometrics.............................June 25th
Medical passed.....................July
Status.....................................Still on Background check

KlausMike:
I don't see any point to this thread! No one even responds!

I think it's just a bit of frustration on waiting for CIC. Imagine, somone's application pending for 5 months, and you expect the person to come and start replying others, when he/she does not know the outcome of his

marisule:
same here
application Dec 2017
police report done
medicals passed May 2018
application still in queue
is this normal also
and it online application
husband Canada
wife nija
pls I Need reply
thanks .

This is really unusual. Have you tried sending a message to them? Or your spouse in canada contacting an MP to write to them?

KlausMike:
Good day everyone, i am planning to submit SOWP and TRV application for my wife and son this week via paper route. Does anyone know how much it would cost for both applications.

From the past thread, paper could be around 75k to 85k, don't know the exact amount now tho
While online is about $335

dalok1:
Good morning house, Is there anybody that submitted paper application (Open work Permit) recently?.. i want to confirm may be they start to collect marriage picture as part of evidence or documents. Because my wife tried to submit it last time (2017) the guy that attended to her on desk rejected it. I will appreciate if house can respond to this . Thanks guys.

From the past thread I read, you could print it out on A4 paper, and then submit with other documents

Pheisharah:
This is not to dash anyone's hope but since I have dotted my Is and crossed my Ts. Let me drop my timeline.
Applied: Feb 26
Biometrics: Feb 28
Medical passed: Mar 29 (upfront)
Final decision: ...............................

I once said that they were responding to spouses of students faster, someone contradicted me. I think that's what it looks like now. They just want workers to apply for EE straight up.

NB: I have contacted them severally

My 2 cents

Jesu!!!!!!!!!
I thought i've heard it all until this timeline came
Wetin people(June) like us go come do? Could it be December? Just thinking out loud.
CIC people are not trying with Nigerians at all.
This is not fair at all.
Will it be possible for them to reject after this long wait?

Moreover, I heard visitor's visa is difficult to get for people that have their spouses there. The success rate is very low compared to SOWP

mikel88:
they are o. Just that is taking too long. You are on the right track atleast your eligibility review as started already. I appplied 5th of May no any updates since then and next week will make it 5months. Just remain hopeful and let’s pray for a positive outcome.

Nawa o! Why are they taking so much time? They should have finished September students own by now.

Did you do upfront medicals? Or waiting for request?
That means they've not started processing MAY, not to talk of JUNE.
I have been in an Indian SOWP WhatsApp group, and it's been intimidating so far. They are processing their July applications now, and many people are getting their PPR

Please, anyone with an ongoing application should give us a timeline, so that we can know how far they are. Let's help ourselves

Good evening all.
I know this is not the right thread for this, but just wanted to ask.
Please! Did anyone apply for SOWP here?

Good evening! I'm a new member to this thread. It's been dry for some time now since I've been following as a non member.
Please have they stopped approving SOWP for Nigerians?
Or they've not approved so far for people on the thread?
What is the success rate now?
Any recent update?
Applied SOWP June 14th, no recent update so far apart from medical passed and eligibility review
Do I have any in my shoes also?
