@Amakaoyekachi1 Please kindly stop littering the thread with same response to different posts. I believe you can sort this issue within the family either through reconciliation or Divorce. All these advisers cannot help you o. I never see where a judge hears from A and proceeding to judgment without B stating their own part. Your hubby is not here to tell us his own side of the story. Go on a family meeting and if it's not resolved,file for divorce.. guyman dy flex hm life. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

signature2012:We were very good, all up till this year, if something had transpired between us would I come to Nairaland to be seeking for advice? I waited for 4months before I came here when a friend advised me to seek opinions on Nairaland, he gave me his supervisor number by himself and some other details which I could use this trying period. When I say family members are not saying anything, the last time I spoke to them which was yesterday they told me to move down to their house( family house), that I should not be worried or overthink anything that my husband is fine, I should just relax. Same thing they told my family but I do relax without been agitated. I won’t do anything bad to him, I just want to see the limit I can push him to make him talk and know what’s in dark, even if it’s a divorce. How do you file a divorce with someone that in incommunicado? Family members will now say I am not a virtuous wife( African mentality) they might even say I have someone I want to runaway with. The only thing his family have been screaming in my ears is to be patient and yesterday they told me to move my load and come and live with them. |

Amakaoyekachi1: That's just pure wickedness, please stay strong, get back your single self and start living life again. If you do decide to move on please involve the elders in your family. They have to go to his family and traditionally put an end to the nonsense ( if there is anything like that) then you can find a way to legally separate from him. When he knows he would go AWOL I wonder why he came home to tie you down in a loveless heartless marriage. 1 Like |

Hello Guys, As an international student just going to Canada, what's the best way to pay for things with the $100 monthly restrictions on Mastercards ? For example, the hotel qurantine which is the first 3 days after you land, the average cost is about $900, what is the easiest way someone can pay for this ? Barter is not an option because their exchange rate is ridiculous. I am just trying to figure out the easiest way to make payment from a Nigerian bank account. Also, does anybody know a legitimate place in Lagos where someone can change physical cash to CAD or USD ? 1 Like |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by ednut1(m): 8:33pm On Jun 14, 2021 |
Alchemist01:open a dom account or use the barter. Exchange rate is the reality one ground. You have no choice than to buy it noni |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Kayyyy(f): 8:34pm On Jun 14, 2021 |
Alchemist01:For the 3 days mandatory quarantine, it can be paid for with cash, depending on the hotel. |

Amakaoyekachi1: It appears that the long-term plans your husband and his family had/has for you were made without involving you and your family. From all you have said and especially the above, I believe you are meant to be his Nigerian wife who will be based here, living with and for his family... to have his Nigerian/tribe/home children and perhaps live happily ever after. If this is what you want, then move in with them and wait to hear from your husband whenever he reaches out to you. If this is not the life you have planned for yourself, then meet with your family first to discuss and determine the next steps. Definitely, if organized, they will want to meet with your husband's family, discuss, give deadlines, and go through all the works...Be prepared for it all. Eventually, more details will be revealed to you and you know the final decision to make concerning your future. You have received all the information you need from NaiCanadians here. Life may be difficult here a bit but it is not terrible that you will be treated this way. All I know is that you should choose what is best for YOU. Marriage is not meant to be lived like this. Mutual decisions should be reached. You cannot be raised by your parents to adulthood only to become foolish because of a man and what either his family or society thinks about you. Choose YOU FIRST! If it is your will to be a home wife, no problem so long as you find joy in it but if it is not, you came to this work with one name, one heart, and one brain....choose YOU FIRST! To the men here who are sending her away, can't you just waka pass? Have her posts disturbed the flow of other conversations regarding living in Canada. Please have some empathy. Just pray that none of your loved females will ever be in such a forlorn situation where strangers would be their next best counsellors. 17 Likes |

[quote author=Amakaoyekachi1 post=102703224] Amaka your responses amaze me. Do you want to pursue the issue or not? Answer that question cos the only thing I’ve seen you do here is counter each advice. Sis make a decision and stand by it. If you want to pray and wait and move in with your “in-laws” to be answering “our wife” of a man who has ghosted you, then do it. If you choose to deal with it because you’re somebody’s child and your emotions are toyed with, you have also been provided with a plethora of approaches to fight back. I empathize with you but serve him instant karma and own it with your chest. I have tried my best to water down exactly what I wanted to say but sis you can chose to be a glorified help for your in-laws or Bleep shit up and leave. 9 Likes |

YesLadyN: Update! Accra returned my passport on Friday without the stamp Now, Ircc has given me instructions to send my passport again. Question is, can I send it to Abuja VAC instead? I learnt the passport will go to Nairobi VO. Reason why I’m considering Abuja is that I have not been able to get hold of who’d help me pay in Ghana cedis to Accra VAC. Pls I’d like to know if the VO I send my passport to matters since I’ve already used Accra before |

Hi Guys, please does anyone know about renewing intl passport in Ottawa? I have an appoitment for nexrt week but decided to send them an email a few days ago to confirm the appointment, make my waka no be in vain. I got a response last night saying i shouldnt come but instead wait for them to revert or monitor news on their website. Is it that they are closed or what? I need my renewed passport so I can apply for an extension of my study permit |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by maziude: 1:46pm On Jun 15, 2021 |
Eilenora: They are still closed. This is from their website. JUNE 8, 2021BY ABU SUSAN ( 41 ) COMMENT As Ontario prepares for the roadmap to reopening, the Nigeria High Commission, Ottawa is restructuring its stages of reopening to the public. We expect to start the passport renewal session with urgent cases such as – 1. Students and workers whose study and work permits have expired. 2. Applicants currently out of status due to lack of a valid Nigerian passport. To certify the validity of your claim, kindly provide the Mission with proof of the expiration by emailing your documents to-. generalinquiries@nigeriahcottawa.ca The Nigeria High Commission, Ottawa, is STILL CLOSED. We will announce the resumption date shortly on the website and our social media platforms. We are here to serve you.

Another option is to send to Cairo VO through VFS Cairo. You can contact them here for more info: info.caneg@vfshelpline.com The problem would still be payment though - you need to figure out how to pay VFS fees in their currency. When I sent mine, the fees were paid through an international wire transfer from an account in the US. YesLadyN: 3 Likes 3 Shares |

Hello @Zodiacwarrior Thanks for the response. This is the first time I am hearing about this. Yes, I have been given my visa. Do you mean I can just walk into any bank, show them my visa and they will help me change 4000USD at normal bank rate ? Zodiacwarrior: |

Hello house, Good evening. Please i have a slight challenge. I just got an email from IRCC asking to renew my medicals as it expires in August and i am traveling to canada next month. My questions are: 1. I travel in July, do i still need to do it before leaving? 2. If i renew it, would it affect my visa already issued, and the whole process? 3. How long will it take for IRCC to receive it and update it. 4. What happens if i travel without renewing it? I am so confused and i'll really appreciate all the help and advice i can get |
