What about in my case....my spouse has just gotten her study extension for her 2year course. A year study permit was earlier given that was revoked.

She has paid full year tuition as required by IRCC. She is almost completing her 1st year by April end showing a year living expense catered for.

Do I need to still show proof of fund for her as she has already used our proof of fund to just recently get her extension.

I am asking because I got a refusal for insufficient fund and I am looking at reapplying soon with more funds. Please advice.

Bobomaigida:


Ideally, POF should be enough to cover to for the whole family including the student, if the student is already in Canada then amount allocated to him/her can be below the amount required by IRCC, but if the student is still in Nigeria then it is advisable that full POF should be provided.

Good evening. Please I need help.

The bulk of the funds should be shown for you, while a small portion can be shown for your spouse.

Hello everyone, myself, wife and our two kids got approval and port request few hours ago.

Thanks to all the contributors, a four-year dream came true:

The journey began about four years ago, when we had all of our documents ready for submission but opted to try Express entry; however, CRS increased to 474, which was out of reach for our family at the time.

We opted to try the UK because visa approval appears to be fairly probable. To God's glory, we travelled to the UK for my second master's degree. God was so faithful that even as a student, I was able to find a good and well-paying work. I got a job as a senior software developer the same month I graduated.

To people around me, I was one of the luckiest but then I still feel unfulfilled one way or the other, all my thoughts were on travelling to Canada, then SINP decided to waste my time by flashing us expression of interest early last year, till today there have not been any response after submission.

As the UK was changing their immigration rules, everyone around me was looking for a means to solidify their stay but I was busy dreaming about Canada. Funny enough, Canada welcome me to the new year with a refusal on the basis that my school has cancelled my letter of acceptance, But to the glory of God, I’m here testifying to His goodness today. Long story short. This is just to encourage someone out there, “If you can dream it, you can achieve it”. Don’t give up on your dream(s).

First application: All submitted 12th December, 2023
First Application refusal: Main applicant: 19th January, 2024
First Application refusal dependents: 1st February, 2024.

Second Application:
Main applicant application submitted 19th January, 2024,
Medical after two weeks, 2nd February, 2024
Spouse and kids application submitted 1st February, 2024
Medical after one week, 7th February, 2024

Thanks all

Don't fall into the IRCC trap. The impression they have now is that many if you don't really have thr money that you claim you have in your statement, hence the rush for SOWP for your spouse so that he/she will be working to pay for your tuition fees or living cost. The impression they have about Nigerians now is terrible. This is from a reliable source. You may be asked to present the evidence of payment of full tuition fees. Somebody is now in a serious soup. He submitted the SOWP for his wife. IRCC is now requesting the payment of full tuition fees or else the already approved Study Permit will be revisited and reviewed. Canada is not smiling now

Hello can I you? Maybe via email or whatsapp?

Good day. I need expert opinion on this case scenario. I have been following this page since last year December as guest.

I submitted visit visa with following timeline:
Submission: 28th Sept 2023
Biometric: 3rd Oct 2023
Biometric Updated on application: 10th Oct 2023.

I later submitted SOWP with following timeline:
Upfront Medicals: 14th December 2023
Submission: 24th Dec 2023
Biometric on application still showed: We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometric Updated on application: 27th Dec and showed completed in tracker

Medicals was updated ed Jan 3rd 2024 on visit application and completed on tracker but no update on SOWP application and tracker.

Application of visit visa was approved on 7th January 2024 and port request in 30 days, however nothing on SOWP.

Should I wait for result of SOWP before I submit port (i.e. is there is possibility of outcome before 30 days) or make the submission right away? Thank you for your expert suggestions.

Timelines are to encourage all of us in the waiting list (I am always encourage seeing applications approved).

hello is this Visa Visit application for a spouse of an international student? If yes please can you list the documents you submitted? Thanks as I await your response

Finally!! Congrats!!

Wow big congratulations to you!

If you submit in person, you should receive your pp in less than a week. Flight fares for april are a bit on the high side, but then, you know your budget.

Can anyone help with this?

If you are having 2 stops in europe, you will be needing a transit visa. Check turkish or Egypt

Cjnick:

I’m sorry but you shouldn’t be asking this question in march na🥺

The policy will come into effect in September

You should be working on the application or planning to send it so as to buy enough time for your family before September.

It’s not late

Please start ASAP

They didn’t scrap any fee

If you’d want VFS to send your port to you via courier after it has been stamped,

All you need do is to
1. Pay 23,000 naira to VFS (you’ll find the details of the payment, name and number on their website)

Once you make payment, print the receipt from your bank and add it to the documents in your big envelope before sending the port in the first place.

Secondly, if you did your biometrics in Lagos and you’re sending to Lagos and you’re like a first timer sort of

You won’t be needing transmission fee

See

You can check VFS website for full information
