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 3 Likes |

jogojogo: 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. |

Profgordons: 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 |
Profgordons(m): 8:33pm On Jun 27, 2022 |
purespikes: Applied 15th of May, 2022. |

Profgordons: Is it by force to apply for SOWP? This is scary! |
Profgordons(m): 8:40pm On Jun 27, 2022 |
purespikes: I don’t know how many people this has happened to. I have practically searched the whole net. |

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? |
skull4eva: 6:52am On Jun 28, 2022 |
jogojogo: 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 |
jogojogo: 8:54am On Jun 28, 2022 |
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 |
skull4eva: 1:20pm On Jun 28, 2022 |
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?

jogojogo: 2:15pm On Jun 28, 2022 |
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? |
ditha(f): 1:21am On Jun 29, 2022 |
