Thank you Jesus!!!🙏

Thank you all for your inputs too🙏

PPR dropped yesterday for my family after using two different agents because I didn’t have time and it led to denials.
I had to sit myself to do the application myself with the help of God and you all…🙏 am just rounding up a 2yrs program, my final level.
Date applied: November 14th 2023
PPR: January 16th 2024
Sent webform on the 14th of January at 12am Canadian time cos I know it will be around 7am-8am in Nairobi.
PS: please dont use agent for your family application there is nothing like sitting yourself to do it. You will knlw the right documents and pictures to attach.

Please what is the process submitting port at VFS. Should we book or take the ports to the UPS at the front of VFS center?

Hello, I am in the same situation with you, I have applied and got denied twice using agents. Now I want to apply by myself. I want to apply for a family of 3, student permit, sowp and for our baby.
Please what are the documents you used and how much was in your pof?

Sorry about the refusal.

Please have you requested for GCMS notes for the refused applications? That will help tackle the actual reasons for refusal. If you have, you can share here so that the house can advise you.

Yes, I have requested.

You only need supervisors for Research Work (MSc or PhD) not Course based Masters or MBA.

I am currently applying for my wife in two Canada unis one year Masters Course. It's d reasin we didn't opt for Research based so u re talking to a learned person. I don't patronized agents too. I am a promoter of DO It Yourself (DIY).

Anyone that wants to apply for Masters pls do but make sure its course based and ensure you meet all the requirements stated for the Masters course based and back it up with a good Letter of Motivation. Don't let anyone tell you it's imposdible cos its no rocket science. IOyinbos are more transparent than us. t's only Research based Masters that are difficult because of the supervisor requirements. MBA, Masters Course you can get it.

You see why I don't want to talk about this ission and sowp with u and the other guy because u guys are nairaland immigration officers and not ircc licensed immigration officers which dont just interpret laws on the peripheral....i have done my home work on the sowp and na me know where shoe day pinch me.....and this will be the last time I will EVER respond to your opinion...kus it's your opinion and u are entitled to it.

We are talking about ission u are talking about PAL, sebi na person way get ission go request for PAL...u think agent fit help person apply for masters...do u know the process of gaining ission for masters program U think u can apply for most masters program in universities without getting a supervisor first?? When I said I have come across masters students in universities, especially western university, u think i am talking by speculations and which i believe it might be applicable to all......like I said, anywhere I come across ur opinion, I will just waka ....as for me CASE CLOSED....
I will just be reading and enjoying the page.
Note: If everything work as planned for me, I will never come here and throw a Jab at anyone..

Thank you

This is a bit clear and easy to tackle

Issues with the application
1. The funds in your spouse's was not enough to cover for Tuition, Living expenses and flight costs.
2. You did not provide statement of from your parent to show their own funds that they claimed will be used in the affidavit.

Suggested way forward
1. Increase the POF in your spouse's and where there are lump sums, please explain them with documentary proofs. Also add documents to prove his sources of income.
2. If you are still adding your parent as sponsors, please get their statement of and show documents that proves their sources of income.

Thank you. I appreciate. What can I use as the source of income. My spouse is working and also into business but the income is not sufficient for what we need.
What can we use as source of income?
Can I use my spouse who is accompanying me as sponsor?

Ethanuella:
Hello everyone, I am a bit worried.

I am a masters degree student. I applied for sowp for my spouse and sp and vv for my kids using spouses’ . On the 24th of march, eligibility review started and I received a message to provide my own pof, and was given 7 days to provide it. I was told that the sowp application will be placed on hold till I provide it. I ed the required document on the 26th of March.

Pls note that I provided bank statements of spouse containing more than required Pof, but mine was requested alongside.

Ever since I ed the doc requested, it’s stuck at “we are currently reviewing your eligibility “, and the section for the additional document reads “the documents requested have been ed”

It’s beginning to look like my family application is still on hold, as they have not started reviewing the additional document. It’s been 2 weeks since I ed it. I have also sent countless web forms and emails to no avail.


Should I really be worried? Medicals completed already, and this eligibility stage is the only incomplete evaluation. It’s been 2.5 weeks since the eligibility review started

I think you should relax, they will issue decisions on all pending applications same day, I suspect the VO has not returned to the application to finalize it bearing in mind that he/she has done the major part on the application. SO just be hopeful. It will end in good news.

If the income from his work and business is not big, then it will be a challenge using him as your sponsor. How was the POF raised? Was is a lump sum deposit?

Hello Everyone,

My wife applied for SOWP (spouse of a Masters student) on Jan 23rd with biometrics completed Feb 5. She reached out to IRCC (via email with the s provided on this thread) on Apr 6 and got a response from Nairobi, saying the application is still within the processing time (over 10 weeks after submission). The medical was updated on the same day.

Its 12 weeks already and the page is stuck on "application is in progress". Eligibility has not started. A webform was sent on Apr 11 but no response or till date. Is it okay to keep sending webforms and emails to IRCC or we just wait?

They will definitely conclude on the application, you can give like a week break. Eligibility checks would have been done in the background so final decision will drop without the status of eligibility changing.

Just hope for the best. I know the wait can be full of anxiety. Just hang in there.

I encourage everyone here not to give up on there goals. Talk to someone if you need help. A closed mouth is a closed destiny.

Congratulations, may Canada favour you.

Good morning. Please do I need yellow fever vaccination card to travel to Canada from Nigeria. Also what documents apart from my port and letter of introduction and COVID vaccine card should I take to the airport.

You don’t need yellow fever….

Asekzz:
You don’t need yellow fever….

Thank you very much. What documents should I take to the airport and what vaccination should I show

You don’t need to show any vaccination card. Just have your port, port of entry letter and visa decision letter.

Congratulations brother…have you dropped your port ? And please do anyone know how long before they update the visa details on the tracker.. submitted last Tuesday 17th and only son visit visa have been approved. Sowp and don study permit still pending

Just to encourage those of us still expecting.

@bobomaigida, please how and when did you
Apply for the gcms notes, how long did it take, has IRCC answered you yet, I applied a day after you which was on the 3rd of February.

Please is there anyone who applied for February 2024, and has gotten his/her PPR for outland SOWP?

Has anyone whose student spouse finished from college recently (Winter term transcripts are out) and the spouse applies for PGWP (which of course will take a short time) and they have been able to apply for SOWP?

I hope we are able to see at least one person in the coming months to confirm the route of SOWP via college PGWP.

I missed this earlier. The port was sent on Friday, 19th Apr from PH. We received it today with the counterfoil.
