Why won't folks do just fixed deposit? All this gift deed ..e get as e dey do me...Psquare!

Will a fixed deposit of about one month fly? If yes, what documents do you think should be submitted along with it? I am also confused about what to do, as the bulk of my POF is coming from different sources that might complicate my application if I have to start explaining everything.

Apologies for my tone ma'am. Ema binu ma. I didn't mean to be rude or harsh. It wasn't intentional. I was trying to help. Much love.

I think @40manlappy has adequately proffered solutions to your queries.

No problem, I understand. Thanks

In that case, if all attempts to obtain another copy fails, let me suggest a modification to the list of documents that you intended to submit as proof of your marriage as follows;

1. AFFIDAVIT OF MARRIAGE
2. POLICE REPORT OF STOLEN VEHICLE that listed the marriage certificate as one the missing documents.
3. LOE FOR THIS, properly worded, stating the efforts you have made to obtain another copy without success. If possible, attach an evidence. Can you get a letter from RCCG?
4. WEDDING PICTURES

IRCC agents have seen a lot of applications which I think may be a reason for their flexibility and reasonableness sometimes. Of course, each application is different

For example, there is someone whose 50% of POF is in her child's name. She has had the treasury bill (TB) for about 2 years and didn't want to liquidate it when she got ITA because maturity date was still far away.

She simply obtained 1 year bank statement of the account from where the TB was invested, the TB certificate, reference letter from the bank that indicated that she is the sole signatory to the account and added the birth certificate of the child showing that she is the parent.

She merged the aforementioned documents into a single file and supported with a properly worded LOE. The outcome? She got PPR without a single ADR!

Meanwhile, I haven't come across anywhere on CIC website where it is expressly stated that POF can be in your child's name. Do you catch my drift?

In this journey, we may need to be creative at times. Also, IRCC is comfortable with sworn affidavits. See screenshots below to buttress this.

Above all, it is necessary to entrust our applications into God's hands having done our "possible" best.

Ok, I understand you. Thank you so much, I appreciate this. I will go back there and try again. If they are still adamant, I will request for a letter from them, they should oblige. God bless you abundantly.

@yemdogg Don't you think you might have prejudged her a bit too early?

IMO, a police report that mentioned the loss of the marriage certificate, along with other supporting documents, may actually prove its prior existence to IRCC if she is unable to secure another copy.

@Cannybabe: The fact that you have listed the above shows that you have actually thought it through to some extent. Please wait for more suggestions on this.

OK, I will. Thank you.

I think it's a good idea to submit all you have mentioned, if you really cannot get another copy from the church nor the registry... Maybe excluding the invitation and program tho (pictures should be ok to add).

The police report is a good idea, because it would state the things missing along with the vehicle, including the wedding certificate... This is I assuming you mentioned the important documents in the car at the time of theft and statement writing at the police station. Otherwise, I see no reason why you should add it.

Explain further so we can try advice better... Thanks

Thanks for responding, yes, the police report lists the marriage certificate as one of the missing documents, that was why I thought about including in it in the first place. Maybe I will try harder with both the church and registry and see where that gets me before concluding on what to do.
Thanks again

Hello everyone, I just got ITA and trying to put my documents together. However, I have an issue, about a year ago my car was snatched by armed robbers and I lost some of my documents which include my marriage certificate. The marriage took place at RCCG in Ibadan and we were given the FORM E marriage certificate. I have tried getting it replaced, but its been to no avail. For proof of marriage certificate, I intend to make use of the following
1. AFFIDAVIT OF MARRIAGE
2. POLICE REPORT OF STOLEN VEHICLE
3. AFFIDAVIT OF STOLEN VEHICLE
4. LOE FOR ALL THIS
5. WEDDING INVITATION, WEDDING PROGRAMME (with our pictures), RECEPTION PROGRAMME (with our pictures)

I need your opinion on this, just want to know if this would suffice as proof of marriage. We also have two kids.
Thank you.
