story never happened. Canada is not that fast in processing deportation orders. Before cbsa gets to process deportation it takes a while after appeals. No one should break the law tho as they risk fines.

I don come again with my gist

I needed a pen and so I rushed to Dollarama which is not too far from my house. While making payment for $1.50, madam cashier asked me, "Do you need a bag" . I look her, she look me. I look her again, she look me. We Kon dey look ourselves. I said really!!!! Do I need a bag? I only bought a pen! Just a pen! I know I was being petty but make we reason am now, how I go buy one big bag, Kon drop pen for inside, dey carry am go house. I finally remembered my home training and said; no, thank you with a squeeze of my face. I dey imagine if na Naija. I for don give am one sarcastic answer like this: the bag too small for pen o. If u get suitcase, make u give me cos pen can be very heavy .
For this same Dollarama, I carry bag go this time around, I won pay again, she asked me: 'do you need a bag despite holding bag in my hand. I've made peace with it sha

Good day house, please does anyone have a contact in Lagos that can help process driving abstract for me? I mean the document that shows the number of years I’ve been driving in Nigeria so I can use this in Canada. Thank you

Luckymama:


I don't think you need a driving extract anymore, though I don't know if it differs by province. You just show them your original drivers license they will access all your records.

CountVersailles:

I don't know why they don't encourage reusing plastic bags in Canada. If for nothing, at least to save the planet. When I'm in Canada, I go to stores with my own bag. Dem go still ask me, do you need a bag?

Hi everyone,

My SOWP application and SP applications for my 3 children were refused sometime in September 2021. I applied for GCMS notes on October 1st and received the notes today (December 11th). It took about 71 days for the notes to arrive.

The VO's main reasons for refusal have been quoted below:

“Adult male and 3 children intending to join spouse/parent in Cda, currently in status studying a Masters. I note that spouse’s application was submitted.

On that application, husband and 3 children were listed as non-accompanying.

No guarantee that either will find work to support themselves and 3 children. Given that all deps were listed as non-accompanying and that SP adult recently arrived in Cda, I question the truthfulness of that original statement. Entire family travelling together reduces socio-economic ties to Nigeria. On balance, reviewing all documents before me including information available in the original SP application for adult female, I am not satisfied that PA would respect T&C of entry and leave Cda by the end of an authorized stay.”

Please, GURUS in the house should suggest how I can tackle the refusal reasons.

Please, if you have found yourself in a similar situation, how did you come out?

Thank you in advance of your useful comments.

you guys were not truthful and it has caught up with you. Just wait for madam to finish school get a good job or pr shikena. Providing for 3 kids on a temporary visa is not child’s play.

Your advice may be the best way forward for this situation. But we can give advice without rubbing salt to injury. Let's just be abit kinder. Some times it's not that ppl are not truthful, it may be just be them following the advice of someone they trust or circumstance change.

Hi everyone, please I wanna ask if it is compulsory for someone to do their wedding in Ikoyi Registry ?
Can someone do their wedding in a registry in Oyo state and still be recognised by Canadian embassy for the purpose of sponsorship?
I see a lot of people always go to Ikoyi Registry, is that compulsory ?

Hi guys,

Pls I would like to hear opinions about living in Brampton.

Backstory:
Been seeing some good housing deals in Brampton but most of my friends here are warning against buying in Brampton.

They sight issues such as high insurance costs, too many Indians/Asian community, high crime rates etc?

Please are all these tru or just mere say or biased mindset towards d area or racis* towards people from that part of the world.

Abeg make una talk ooo... Would also like to hear more from people living there currently.

You listed yourself and children as non accompanying.
Is there a way to change that? Maybe through an immigration lawyer

Kyrie2018:
Just to clarify about Lakehead university.

*Most universities who offer the accelerated BSN will require you pass the prerequisites as part of their application criteria. For these schools the program would normally run for 2 years.

*Lakehead university offers the prerequisites as part of your first year course, including some other core nursing courses. So, you do not need to write the prerequisites before applying. And the accelerated BSN program is 3years (or 2yrs 8months if you count it that way). I think this is fair because if you include the time you need to study for and write the prerequisites before applying to those schools that run the program for 2 years then it adds up.

*To get exemption for the prerequisites, you need to submit your course description from your previous studies. I submitted this and got exemption for statistics. I know someone who got exemption for psychology too. So, in first year I took psychology, anatomy and physiology plus other nursing courses.

* Also, in Lakehead university clinical placement starts from year one whether you're doing the 4yrs degree or accelerated degree. I don't know what is obtainable in other schools.

*The accelerated degree program in Lakehead university is quite intensive. Be ready to STUDY. A lot of students are able to work while going to school, you just have to know your own capabilities and decide how many hours you can sacrifice for work. Also, after your first year you are qualified to work as a PSW ($20.68/hr where I worked).
* About the 10 years timeline, I'm not sure what the conditions are in Lakehead university. But I finished my first degree over 10 years ago and was able to get admission.

Hi Blurpy,

The truth is, at the time of filling imm5645, we were not 100% sure what the phrase 'non accompany' meant. To us, it meant either 'not traveling on the same flight with' or 'not joining in Canada for the duration of study permit'. We were confused, but the VO, am sure, cannot buy our story now.

Now that the deed has been done, what is the way forward? I would be glad to hear from anyone found himself in a similar situation, but came out successfully. Or is my family the only one that used spouse and children as home ties?

The lawyer option would be costly o.
