Hey guys

Are you applying Online or through VFS

My wife will apply Online, I have heard is much faster, that within 1 month we should have it all sorted.

I am not sure it is a good idea to apply through another country. How will you prove your attachments to South Africa?

Good luck!

yes applying online is good, it doesnt makes application to be conclusive within 1 month thou in SA. althou cic advise some other applicant from other country other than SA to apply via online.

where u from? yes applying from country different from home country can be difficult sometimes, because you need to prove your ties to the country of residency and most applicant dont have ties to country of residency but home country. if u from one of the southern africa , its good thou as u all use cic pretoria.

Hi there, thanks for your comments.

I live in Cape Town and I am married to a South African. She is applying for a Student Permit and I will apply for a Open Working Permit through her. We both have worked here for 1 year and 6 months. We don't own property in South Africa but we are both well employed and have more than enough funds for her studies in Canada. My Spousal Visa + Working Permit expires in September 2017. My wife's course ends in December 2016.

I am from Brazil

Yes, I have some ties to Brazil but then my wife wouldn't have. As an international couple we will face this problem here and there.

I am a little concerned about the timing. In Brazil is taking about 1 month max for the Online Application. I have heard that is taking quite long in Pretoria, is that right?

I believe that our strongest ties is our love for Cape Town. We actually want to return after the course and start our own company here.

Thanks for replying

Jonathan

You welcome Jonathan. its me steve on the watsapp group.

i will say try apply online through brazil ,attach all neccessary document home and away. you guys stand a chance but for quick response go for brazil as your wife got PR there. they will treat applications same way and same processing time.

Congrats.

When did you apply? Are you South African? Online or on paper application? Medical requested? If so, when? Police clearance? Did you provide proof you were returning? What did you provide for your proof of funds? Did you pay your fees in advance?
