State laws differ. I stay in Lagos as well. Lagos is very strict with a lot of “skoin-skoin”. Had to go to another south-west state

SlowlybtSurely:
Thank you for this! I'm glad this is doable. A judge in Lagos refused to grant my friend full custody and quoted that the child's parents were still alive, so I just thought that was the law.

Amandacanny:
@justwise, wait first. Them never find me house and I'm landing on 18th. You guys should kindly direct me to shortlet apartment or better still, someone should pack out and lease his place to me(sebi una get credit history and I don't have). I need help bikonu

I and at least 5 people I know have adopted kids with one or both parents alive in the course of this journey. We all have our PR, with the exception of one person awaiting approval.

I personally adopted two kids and their parents are alive and well. I have FULL custody.

The OP can go ahead to legally adopt the child. Avoid Lagos sha. E get why. Use other states with less traffic.

SlowlybtSurely:
The safer option will be to legally adopt that child in Nigeria before coming. The problem with that though is that the court will usually not grant you full guardianship/custody if the child's biological parents are alive, even if the biological parents agree to that arrangement. This will make it impossible to add her to your application as IRCC will require that you have full guardianship/custody.

If you know your way around Nigerian legal system and can somehow get a judge that can grant you full guardianship, that will be your best bet.

Thank you!!!

Wow. Part 11 already!!!.

I stopped coming here after IRCC almost gave me high BP. It would be remiss of me not to post the below, as every single information I used for this process was from this thread. From IELTS tips, to ECA guide, to submitting my profile, to adoption of my kids and their inclusion in my profile, submitting my application and all.

I read every single page from Part 1 to 8 or thereabout.

See timeline below:

Decision to Travel: 2016. I didn't have up to 3yrs experience and was still running my M.sc so I decided to wait. Used the wait period to read every single thread from Part 1 created by Zandora. I even read the very first thread from Solomonwis.

Hello
My AOR was on 11th of December, sent a mail to Ottawa asking for my visa office but am yet to get a response. However, I got a reply from Hong Kong and Sydney, Australia when I sent them a document, stating that I should send it to my VO which is Nova Scotia, that’s how I got to know my VO.

Secondly I sent a web form about 3 weeks ago and am yet to get a response.

I hope have been a able to answer a question.

Congratulations!!!

Lol . Thank you

Exmay02:
I think it's best you visit any court around your vicinity and get it done, I doubt u will spend up to 2k, don't meet any middle man that will use your money as palliative.

Hi House

Has anyone here notarized a document recently in Lekki and its environs? If yes, please assist with details.

Someone is quoting 7k.

Thanks

MY PPR STORY. ( A bit long though)

The story of MERCY!!!

Beht how did I miss Pg. 1

Anyway. Pg.2 is the next best thing

Access used to be $3000 before the review. Last I confirmed which was about 2wks ago, it was $1000

MayorOfEdmonton:
That's impossible for a naira card...even before the CBN downward review most banks limit was btw $500-1000.
Best to go to the bank & confirm
