Pictures dont matter your marriage certificate is enough proof

Frankrobbn1:


Your spouse would apply for spousal open work permit (SOWP). You need to provide legal documents to prove that you're legally married to him.

You need the following documents to establish relationship with your spouse (hubby)

PROOF OF RELATIONSHIP DOCUMENTS
1. Marriage Certificate
2. Newspaper change of name
3. Throw back family pictures
4. Snap shot of WhatsApp video call or messages for the last six months (if any).
5. Wedding photos.


I hope this information is helpful to your enquiry.

Most (not all) PhD candiadates from our part of the world are advanced in age (above 30/35 years of age). I also know those under 25 years but very few and between. Therefore, if you are an established candidate - with family, kids, businesses, etc - please show your plan for the family while you are away. How will the family survive while you are away? Does your spouse have a source of verifiable income to cope in your absence? If no, have you made plans for their sustenance? What are the plans - even a simple explanation that shows you have thought about it may be adequate. So the trick is balancing the art of submitting enough documentation without being desparate but also making sure you cover all possible bases in this regard.

Yes, most fully funded PhD applicants have better chance of visa approval, don't take if for granted; do the work. Examples exist that shows even with full funding it is not an automatic approval. You also need to pass a different test of proof when the funding is from Nigeria (say government source) vs. Canadian source. The former requires more work to achieve than the latter.

All the best

buzzme:
@longjonjoe.... Oh, thank God its not just me. Been receiving ghost updates for the past days... Let's wait till the end of the month and hope. When is your program starting?



I will
Let me give them till ending of the month. This one I’ve been receiving ghost modes

11th January. If i dont get any change in my application by 20th. I’ll order my GCMS notes

God!!! What is wrong with IRCC!!! Chei
Since 23rd i submitted this NSE bullshit that made me spend so much for IELTS and classes and the bank statement thingy and till today my eligibility review hasnt started! Since October 7th 2020 i applied. Make Canada just know say them no be God oh! If country God shey person go won stress comot like this. Nonsense

Okay, I have a few questions before I can respond and I can only comment on applying alone because that is what I did. I can't comment on joint application because I don't have the experience.

For context, I also have 3 kids who are minors ofcourse and I am 41-years old with a full funded PhD offer. I applied alone using family as a strong home ties. I intend to apply for my family in a few weeks and am positive about the outcome. What is important is am here now and it is only a matter of when will my family join me and not IF they will.

My questions are as follows;
Do you have the funded PhD offer already or not? I believe this is self evident why I ask.

What is the total amount of funding you got? So you can check if the amount is enough for you alone to apply or together with family. If you apply with family, the financial proof will be higher than when you apply alone. You can only use your prorated annual funding to claim towards POF and not all.

What is the source of the funding; school/employer/Nigerian Government/Canadian Government/International Development Agency? To determine whether you are required to return home after completion or not. Most non-DLI funding require you to return home and technically ineligible for PR application without fulfilling that condition although the practical application vary case by case basis.

When are you planning to start the program? Will let you know how much time you have to get start with visa applcations assuming you already have your offer at hand.

What is your personal financial position? If the PhD funding is inadequate to cover yours and/or family application, what are the avenues you plan to proof the additional funding required. I will shared my financial projections for applying with family vs. applying alone with you when you reply so you can see the difference.

Hello @Yyum,

Is it your personal investment? If yes and it has more than enough funds for your study and living expense, you may be able to use it. By more than enough, I mean you'll only exhaust like 50% to 60% or a lil less/more of the funds for your study plans/stay in Canada so the VO does not think you want to spend all that you have saved to study in Canada and you claim you're coming back, plus will your gain on your return be worth the investment (talking about your career progression after studying) Then the question of "is it a reasonable expense" comes up like I've seen on several gcms notes on this platform. This is what can make it risky which is why its better to have more than a single source of POF in my own opinion oh.

If the funds are much more than enough and you decide to use it as nothing is cast in stone here, please ensure to get a reference letter from the bank and it should state that the funds are available to you whenever you need it. All the best.

I believe the gurus here can advise you better from their wealth of experience.

Hello everyone,i love this forum.Very timely infos. Please can one use mainly a treasury bill investment account as a POF?Thanks always

Frankrobbn1,can I chat/talk to you privately,it's important please?...my email; amakaperpetual09@gmail.com

Frankrobbn1:


Treasury bill investment account is not an eligible POF for study permit application. I will advice you use the regular bank statement which will demonstrate your financial strength to cover for the proposed studies in Canada.

Awesome and welcome back @Frankrobbn1. Trust you had a good rest but I be sister sha not brother

Thank you very much my brother @TeeMade.

I decided to take a break over the holidays to rest and prepare for 2021. I'm happy to be back on this thread again and I'm rooting for everyone and expecting to having the best year in 2021. In the same vein, I'm wishing everyone the very best in their respective applications. My sincere prayer is that this year will bring lots of success stories and great recognition to this reputable thread.


I would also like to use this medium to applaud my fellow capable group members in the person of Justmellow, Chocs and Mcobex. You guys are expectionally amazing and doing a very wonderful job here. I appreciate your great effort in assisting others.


The thread keeps moving fast, I guess I have missed a lot in my absence. Anyways, I will have to start reading from where I stopped so I can catch up with you guys .

Going forward, I will be very active on this thread. So feel free to share me any of your immigration concerns and I would be glad to provide answers accordingly.


Thank you all.


As always, It will end in praise.

You have to pay a prepayment tuition fees of the first semester. I also have admission with them but it for January intake and I will be starting online classes by January 18th.
Just know that if you accept the admission then you can't defer your intake to another intake because it is not allowed at Lambton.
I just pray I get decision before January 18th.

I am the one to fund everything
i shall be starting by september 2020
I have properties that generate rents here in Nigeria (Lands and Buildings)

Hello, Everyone. Greetings Frankrobbn1 and every other person here. This is my first post here. I just joined Nairaland today ooo lol. I'm here to find more information on how to go about studying in Canada. The whole stuff is really giving me headache already but I shall not relent. I have applied for an undergraduate diploma at College of the North Atlantic, Newfoundland and Labrador(Sept Fall intake). Waiting for my LoA. I used my NECO result since I'm not through with my ND(National Diploma), supposed to finish Nov. last year(2020) but covid-19 spoilt everything.will be rounding up before May this year (2021). Well, I'm trying to gather every document for online visa application before my LoA will come.
My problem now is how to show proof of ties. I don't have a job, kids, spouse, or business or even properties...... I need directions and guidance for this Canada study process...... Frankrobbn1, please I need your contact. I'm all alone on this journey and wouldn't want to miss this opportunity.

Okay thanks for the response.

My humble advise is for you to focus on getting one or two PhD admission offer at this point. You can even talk above visa application (assuming you get offers - funded or not), until about Feb/March 2022. Take it one step at a time but one thing you have on you side is time. Start working on a plan now and putting all the bricks in the right place before you get to the point when you will apply.

You will be able to decide more confidently when you get to that bridge, whether to apply alone or with family. What you need are preparation and strategy.

Wishing you best of luck in this application cycle. Let us know if you need help with your PhD admission application (assuming you have crossed all the boxes for a potential PhD) and and sure you will get all the support you need on here.

Since your parents are still in Nigeria you can use them as your home-tie. Simplicity "sometimes" is the key.
