Cynk:
i got medical request last week wednesday and responded immediately via webform because i have upfront medicals. i resent the webforms on friday when i hear nothing and then on monday, yet it has not been updated. any explanation gurus?

Did you get an update on your medical for this?

jogojogo:
Its normal but send them a mail too

Having similar issue, what email can be used? Also how do one know which office is processing the Visa?

How do one know what country to choose for the processing?

Congratulations!! Been waiting for your news

Alhamdulillah, Verily there is surely light at the end of the tunnel.

After praising and thanking the LORD of the Universe, the creator of man from a clot of blood, I pray that everyone waiting would get a positive response soon.

My Story is so long but I would leave that for another day.

Medical upfont Oct 25th
Applied for VV on Nov. 23rd, 2021, and it was rejected on Dec 7th, 2021. Beginning of my depression
Applied for another VV on Feb 20th, 2022 and it was rejected 24th April 2022. Depression got deeper and I stopped going to the Lab (working from home but with low productivity). Finished my winter semester and my graduate coordinator, advisors and everyone around me felt so sad for me and I also felt sad for myself. At this point, I was already like I'm leaving Canada and I literarily got no positive view of Canada.
I went to my MPs office and they are literarily doing nothing and just saying I need to wait till the processing time elapse.
Eligibility Started June 14th. Then I started to fire email, and webform everyday.
Yesterday I sent an email to all of the offices from my own email telling them how depressing I am. Here I attached my transcript enrolment letter, updated finance, and landed document to Abuja, Lagos, London, and Nairobi.
I couldn't sleep overnight so one of my good brothers here that I pray that Allah grant his wife the PPR (today Bihitnillah) called me and we spoke and pray that we hear from IRCC soon. After some minutes I received an email from Abuja that I need to send a webform and I immediately responded to their email by saying I have done that 1000000 times. Well, after like 1 hr I stood up to see what webform they even asked me to send. As I sat on my chair like this I just saw the Golden email from on my wife's email (I have access to my wife's email) and it was at that time that I went on sujud (prostration) to Glory the Lord that created the earth and peg it with the rocks.
BVL and PPR June 23rd 2021.

Alhamdulillah.

My Spouse applied for Study Permit, I applied for VV so I could visit during my breaks and VV for two of our kids.

Spouse and Kids got Medical Submission request, mine got “canceled”.

Later got note on the portal requesting I should apply for work permit.

Has anyone experienced this, do I have to wait for Spouse Study Permit to be granted before applying for Work Permit that I really don’t need at the moment.

Initial application was on the new portal and I noticed work permit is only on the old portal, can these two applications be linked?

I could sensed that IRCC no longer want to issue Visitor's Visa to spouses of International Student. I see no reason why there is a move against your choice to Visitor's visa requesting you apply for SOWP as if they have attended to the numerous request on queue....
Omase o for IRCC

I find that strange too, I stated in my SOP that I only want to visit my spouse and the kids periodically as my job provides me the flexibility.

Congratulations! I'm so happy for you.
The wait is finally over.

If I may ask, when did you apply? I am in your shoes, only that the study permits for my wife and kids have been approved. I am about to apply for visitor visa, even though I don't mind the SOWP. I just don't like the long processing time for the SOWP. Na wah o

Is it by force to apply for SOWP? This is scary!

Alhamdulillah.

My cousin applied for study Visa using the old portal and got refused after six week.
We reapplied about three months ago. Upfront medical has been done and eligiblity review started over a month. Nothing more.
Can we reapply through the new portal?
Is it allowed?
Do they approve request through the old portal please

Secondly is medical required for minor below 10 years?

You cant have two same type of visa running concurrently. If you submit another through the new portal they will withdraw the one on the old portal. They approve request through the old portal. Most of us here used the old portal as there was nothing like new portal when we applied.
As for the question of medical depending on the type of visa children from the age of two are required to do medical too. My kids did and so did the kids of some of my friends too

Thanks@skulleva. The visa category in this case is study permit for kids (all below 10 years).
I never knew medicals is required until I deduced that from a post here. I had thought bio-metric and medical are only required form age 10 and above

Please I have a question if someone did medical in july last year is the medical still active by now? If yes why is IRCC requesting for medical again from such a person? Am confused please help out. This is still june nah. Can the person send the active medical?

Yes. The person should write but if I were in the person shoe, I will quickly initiate another medical process while I write to call attention to my active medical status

Mine was done in April 2021 and as at May 22 it has expired. Well I don't know but looking at the timeline the medical should still be active but I someone mention it at Qlife when I visited the last time that medical now expire 6months, I don't know how valid that information is, be it as it may, the person should book for medical immediately.

Hi all,
In a situation where someone has a 4 year visitor and wants to apply for sowp (spouse's study permit is valid for 2 years) , what will happen ?
Will the sowp (2 years validity) cancel the validity of the 4 visitor's visa or what will happen?

that's unusual.. we only paid the DHL delivery fee. biometrics was done in Abuja and port submitted in Abuja
