Hi,

Are you sure SOWP is now processed faster? These IRCC guys are not to be predicted o.

I’ve a frnd that applied for Sowp, the application was process in Ottawa, application processed der is kinda fast. Ircc get der own Wahala too sha.

Since they now prioritize family unification, I feel Sowp or visit (family) will be process fast.

SpeedRacer:


Please what is Swop?
I wanted to try the study route but tye course I intend to study isn't available to next year September,.so I'm planning on the visiting route then change to work to raise more funds then schooling.

Spouse open work permit, it’s work permit for ppl with spouse in Canada. I don’t think you qualify for that.

If you want to take that route, it will be close work permit. You’ve to get a job with LMIA (not easy but possible).

Emmafe:
You can flagpole when you want n it’s same day. Why not apply for Sowp? They process that faster compare to visit visa.

Do they still do this? Thought they have another process other than Flagpollin?

Emmafe:
You still need consent form. The documents listed are all you need either you’re using courier or submitting in person.

Thank you

Can someone please answer this?

Good morning. Please is it possible to transfer data from the old to the new portal? If not, how can I rectify the issue of ed application forms (imm5257e and imm5645e) not showing my biodata on the old portal?

Someone I know still flagpole like a week ago. Spouse na international student. You can also apply online but that can take up to 3 months, so people flagpole to get it immediately.

Want to start application for the kids

I and hubby got visas tho, hubby is yet to submit his port.

Do I wait for his visa? Is it necessary to the visa page?.. Data page also necessary? Kindly advice please

As an application, submitting in person, where should I fill on this consent form?

[/Thank you everyone for the insightful answers.
As regards your suggestions I have some questions
1. Is it under must we use GCkey portal for SOWP, can’t it be done on the new portal?

2. If we decided to go together and we haven’t sorted our visas prior to her resumption date, can we deferred her ission even after her visa has been approved, will her visa status still be valid?]

Pls can a student allowed to enter canada after one month there school started pls I need answers

Emmafe:
POE questions are what you filled in your application, it’s nothing serious.

Make hotel reservations incase you’re asked wer you’ll be staying during your trip. Return ticket shows your intent to return after your trip, so I will recommend it. It’s possible you won’t be asked but to safe, I will advise it.

Thank you

You’ve to confirm from school if you can still continue with the semester, if school allow I think it’s fine. At POE be ready to give a good reason, I’m sure they will also want to confirm from school if you can still continue with the semester.

I will suggest you ask on Canada study thread, you’ll get a better response der.

Correct!

1st congratulations on your wife's approval, you will have to open a new application for yourself and your children. This time apply for SOWP and visiting for your baby .
Wait for your wife visa to be out b4 applying or better still you can allow her to travel 1st has you also need her study permit snapshot to backup your application (not compulsory but to be on a safe side )
On your sop tell the visa officer why u need to travel with your wife to assist her because of the baby .
Use your mom dad , workplaces etc has hometiles .

All d best

Thank you very much!
