2nded. Nice idea and God bless you are you give



babyface333:
sincerely, this is a nice gesture from you madam Aisha.

I really do think the essay part of the Eligibility conditions is not neccessary. Its not an academic challenge, it should just be a give away like you already insinuated to single mothers. Not all single mothers who would be interested would be able to write a 100 word essay in clear english.


Anyway, all the best in your kind gesture.

What is your brother in-law's status in Canada if he doesn't have PR yet? Is he legally working in Canada and paying tax? Is he answering his real name that your spouse used in the past to come to Canada? These few questions will help us to answer you.



wishiwashonest:
I need serious advise from seniors,dont mind my long story

i had to open a new id just to ask this question.

i just submitted my package as the PA as a family of 3,my spouse,child and myself.

for the past few days my spouse have been moody,after serious pleading with him i heard the shock of my life from him.he just told me while living in england he used a diferent name and dob about 10 years ago to get a visit visa which he renew about 3 times and always backdated his passport anytime he returns to nigeria and in reality he never spent 6months at a time in uk.

in the last 2 years before we returned to nigeria about 5years ago,i was on a uk work permit,which he also applied for spouse dependant visa on my work permit with his wrong name,therefore to the uk authorities am married to his wrong info.

my question is this?do i withdraw the fsw application or how do i correct this mistake although all information on the fsw package is our true details apart from my spouse newly revealed secret.

he never used this passport to travel to any other country or applied for any visa to any other country with this wrong details

infact he has never used that passport or visa since we returned to nigeria 5 years ago.

my fsw package was received last week.do i wait till when my card is charged before writing cic?

another major problem is,he used his brother name and dob to get the uk visa 10years ago and this brother now lives legally in canada,wont this become a problem to his brother who isnt yet a PR holder in canada?

all other country visa we have are on his correct details,he never got into any problem in uk with the police and we returned home voluntary even with unexpired visas.

all documents ,npc declaration,marriage certificate i submitted are all genuine.this revelation is news to me and am really confused.

will cic find out about this?since he is just a spouse dependant and not a PA.

I already included our nigerian PCC and my Uk Pcc in my application.

please i need serious advise.

I read on their site that to maintain your permanent residency you must spend 2 out of 5 yrs there. What of people who don't plan to move yet. If after 5 years I don't fulfill it will my PR be cancelled or can I renew it still[/quote]
TravelRe: Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program-timelines Here by Hotstepper(f): 5:52am On Dec 03, 2014
Time you have lived in Canada
You must have resided in Canada for at least three years (1,095 days) in the past four years before you apply. This does not apply to children under 18.

You may be able to count time you spent in Canada before you became a permanent resident if it was during the past four years.

Use our online tool to find out if you have lived in Canada long enough to apply to become a citizen.

You see, Canada is different from US in this aspect. You cannot just contact a gynecologist straight. You have to go through a general physician that will now refer u based on where u r staying, this is even for Ppl who lives in Canada.

If you have a contact here, Datz where thru can come in nd help u. They can go through their family Dr nd den get u all the info like da cost of birth nd at wat stage they stop taking clients

My gynea wen I asked him said 3-5k CAD for normal nd 5-7k CAD for CS but st that time, around June this year he said he's full nd can't take any more clients. Then my friend told me about a naija gynea she uses. I can get his info if you want to contact him.

all flights comes to Toronto but I prefer Ethiopian airline cuz of their services, leg space, less waiting time etc


I hope this helps a lil bit

I have met Ppl that worked in Oil companies, telecoms nd even bank managers. Infact, one top bank manager resigned and relocated with her family 2 weeks ago. Most times, it's not about the money anymore cuz even with money in naija, u don't seem to enjoy it cuz of poor in infrastructure, security etc


Meritl:
Their aim would have been achieved.
The aim which is very clear-Safeguarding the future of their kids. Besides, he can always visit.
In my opinion, its "more in favour" of those who don't have killer jobs in their country of origin.
Just my observation and opinion.
TravelRe: Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program-timelines Here by Hotstepper(f): 9:12am On Nov 23, 2014
What makes u think he will be given. It is will seen and concluded that you are not interested in it, if not, da person would have come. Immigration policies are changing everyday

ferdimako:
If he loses it...he can apply again. He flexes here and his family does the same when they come.
TravelRe: Canadian Federal Skilled Worker Program-timelines Here by Hotstepper(f): 4:15am On Nov 23, 2014
I hope that they know as they are in naija nd visiting Canada that within 5 yrs, they must accumulate Days that will add up to 3 yrs either by visiting or living for 3 years, if not they lose the PR


Meritl:
Well, "I think" Ferdimako is not too wrong.
I have 2 guys who work I'm Chevron and Shell respectively. They moved their spouse there and came back to continue their work, because, they might not get a job that may pay as high as they've got now.
The Chevron guy moved three weeks ago.
A third guy I know, is a Nigerian in Iraq. The guy earns more than his contemporaries in Chevron and ExxonMobil. My "Broses" , the guy moved three days ago and plans to evaporate Canada when his leave is over due to his impressive job in Iraq. IRAQ O!!
My classmate got a job recently in a Nigerian school, just plans to settle his family there while he comes back because, he's got other "shows" to run here. He should be back soonest
So there are a lot of critical thinking in making decisions like this. E.g.
1. Most will move permanently if their financial/life standard is not up to par in their country of origin.
2. Most will just land with their families, settle them and leave almost immediately because the salaries earned in their country of origin will be OK to take care of their families and avoid been a middle-class guy in Canada while he can live big here in naija and still "spoil" his family in Canada

One Okoye is British born by da way


jennykadry:
There is one Nairalander so far I know is a true Patriot...Ishilove. This Nairalander I believe has the resources to leave Nigeria but has chosen not to...why? because she believes she can never be happy anywhere else but Nigeria. If Ishilove wants to travel out for a visit, I am sure she would apply for a visa on her Nigerian Passport, go for her holiday and come back. I believe she will even birth her children in Nigeria...that's a true patriot and only such people have the right to call themselves that. The day she decides to relocate for a better life, I will take that 'patriotship' medal from her.

Many Nigerians are dual Nationals. For example those carrying american, british, australian, canadian and european passport....when the one with american wants to visit the netherlands, they use their american passport why? because it gives them easier access. Same goes with the others. The only time I remember my Nigerian passport is when I arrive in Nigeria and show it to the custom officers waiting for bribe. I would be deceiving myself if I called myself a patriot...patriot si gini melu (say wetin happen)?

Many nollywood stars marry men based outside Nigeria. Mercy Johnson got blasted a few years ago after she had her first child in the US. She went to get her daughter's Nigerian passport in Atlanta or so can't remember was well treated, she came out saying she was proud to be a Nigerian and bla bla bla but this same person ran away from that same Nigerian to have a baby in the USand has done same with her second child. Ini edo married an american husband got herself a green card and is in the process of divorcing her husband...that one has secured her future....if Boko haram crace reach her backyard, she would run away with her green card. Uche Jumbo....that one married an American. Kate Henshaw married a French though divorced...Oge okoye married a brit.....these same people are die hard Naija fans...for the whole Nigeria with all the hot looking men there them no find husbands?

make we continue deceiving ourselves
TravelRe: I Love Nigeria...I Am Proud To Be called A Nigerian BUT....... by Hotstepper(f): 3:09am On Nov 22, 2014
I disagree. It cannot put it side by side with marriage. You are not only patriotic about your country when you are in the country period.



ferdimako:
Yea...u lose to right to claim u are patriotic..patriotism is like marriage...in good and in bad times u are in for the union. You can't run when things are bad and turn back when ur abandoned son has made money and claim a good mum...oh ur father drove me. No no ...we are not accepting that version...u can't water it down.
TravelRe: I Love Nigeria...I Am Proud To Be called A Nigerian BUT....... by Hotstepper(f): 2:58am On Nov 22, 2014
As some people would say, " u won't have opportunity to be in heaven nd decide to stay in hell". In a nutshell, majority of Nigerians love Nigeria but in one way or another, Nigeria does not Favour them and they leave to try elsewhere (more developed nations). Now, I won't equate that to be dat they hate Nigeria.

After growing up abroad, got married nd moved to naija. Believe me, I can count how many times we had power supply in the city we lived in. In both of my pregnancies, it was almost terminated cuz of wrong medications.

Afterall, citizens of developed countries still leave their country of origin in search of jobs elsewhere. In recent times, there has been an influx of Americans in Canada for citizenship nd work, so does that mean they hate US, likewise Canadian etc
