Hi All
Partner just got approved for SOWP on compassionate care reasons.

Anyone travelled from Lagos to Canada recently and can shed some light on the experience? Is the vaccine required? Any quirky things we should expect at the airport?

Thanks!
Vaccine is required but since you mentioned visa was approved on compassionate grounds there might be an exemption BUT in that case quarantine and covid test in Canada will be mandatory.
Not sure....others can contribute.

PLEASE I NEED URGENT ADVICE ON THIS ISSUE .

My work permit was refused at 47 weeks due to the negligence of immigration lawyer that submitted my application. He did not include my Work Reference Letter in my application.

When I received my GCMS note around June I discovered all stages have been passed except my Eligibility: Recommend Interview I quickly send my updated work reference letter by raising a webform to the immigration lawyer to update my application but he never raised any webform in my application.

Can I still use the same Lmia exempt no to re apply for my work permit or my employer need to update a new lmia exemption number on Canada employer’s portal before I can reapply?

I want to apply by myself now.

The refusal letter says:

You were not able to demonstrate that you can adequately perform the job you seek for .

You are welcome to reapply if you think you can respond to these concerns and can demonstrate that your situation meets the requirements .

All new application must be accompanied by new processing fee.
Oh no so sorry about the refusal. Hopefully your new application is processed quickly.

A curious question: why you didn't do upfront biometrics? (I would assume that you didn't do upfront medicals as well.)

I don't need to pass medical, at least it stated I do not need.
Biometric I couldn't do upfront bcoz I simply didn't have BCL which is required for VFS to make an appointment for biometric

I called the company yesterday to update my lmia exemption number so that I can re-apply for my work permit, the HR said they don’t deal with individual that I should contact the immigration lawyer that whatever I need they will attend to me.

Though the immigration lawyer suggested I should re-apply alone this time around that when I enter Canada then I can re-apply for my family and he asked to indicate if he can re-apply for me which I said yes cos he’s the one the company is relating to.

I submitted my PR by myself and is ongoing already am awaiting AOR so I have raised a webform with my reference letter that I can adequately perform the job I seed in Canada so that my PR won’t be refused cos of Eligibility.

Honestly the waiting time is killing
