The cousin has probably told someone from his immediate family who advised him to discard the other family and probably the applicant in question.

Being a Nigerian, I know issues like this are rooted in the belief that "this person can't do zilch for me."

I never suggested bribe, however I advised a give-and-take situation which will be mutually beneficial for both parties. Many of us have friends because we give and take from them. Nobody likes to roll with a parasite.

BTW, this lady has probably spent a lot on the journey to this point, she should be willing to do what she can, including 'scratching the sponsor's back' in order to get him to make the call. This is today's reality, thus, she should be willing to reach a compromise.
Just report him to family, extended family sef join. That he's about to ruin his cousin's life, that he'll make Canada ban him except he completes what he started. His mother will call him. Which parent will hear that their son wants to ruin his cousin's life and keep quiet?

It's an open work permit. My wife got it because I have a study permit. She needs to go find a job when we get to Canada.
Okay, now I understand. Your'e in the best position to know what's best for you. However, it is not advisable to select unaccompaning for your spouse when she will already be with you in Canada by the time your EE application is being considered.
You should instead continue your study plan and stay in the pool with 445. Who says scores won't drop below that? In a worst case scenario, you'll still get up to 60 points or so for adaptability and study in Canada at the completion of your study. Study in Canada would also qualify you for some provincial nominations giving you comfortable scores.

Guys, I need your help. I and my wife have study and work visas respectively. We will be landing in Canada by August. We are in the pool with 445 points, if spouse is unaccompanying, point is 467 which is sufficient to get ITA tomorrow or anytime it comes. Of course, I can always sponsor my wife and boy later. Question is, what would anyone in here suggest we do?

Don't forget that we have temporary visas already, could be dangerous having my wife unaccompanying, since she already has a work permit.

Help my life, been on this Canada parole since last year.
Why don't you use the appointment letter you used in securing a work visa to claim 50 points and boost your joint CRS score from 449 to 499? That way, there will be no need for the unaccompaning drama. Or maybe we don't get the full story?

Make him a financial offer. Let him feel like he's getting something back.
He will accept. Once you get what you need you move on. OYO.
Your'e suggesting he bribe his cousin for sponsorship? Looks like the wrong advice of the year. What if his cousin sends the evidence of bribe to IRCC, what do you think would happen?

Hi, good day all.

Please at what stage will IRCC contact our employers or ex employers?

During eligibility check which is usually in the first 3 months. They rarely contact employers though, except you're a PNP applicant or there's something really fishy in your reference letter. Instead, an ADR or interview will be requested. The chance that IRCC call your employer is close to zero.

Also, it's exactly a week I did my biometrics, is it possible to know my Visa office now? If not, how long do I have to wait.

Yes. Your primary VO should be assigned by now, it's more than 30 days after AoR.

Lastly, how can somebody outside Canada call IRCC, at least just to know the stage at which my application is at the moment.

Call +16139444000, follow the voice prompt

Thanks all

There is system maintenance today..so there is possibility of draw.
It's just what it is, a system maintenance. Draw is highly unlikely this week.
