Please raise a CSE submitting the required documents

GlitteringStar:

I concur! You can then send the passport to Accra if there is no response before the 15 days deadline but I believe they will respond.

Thanks for the response my senior mommies @GlitteringStar and @Newmum0615

So my comment on the cse is simply to notify of forthcoming birth?

happytbaby:
I will go with Vickyehi on this.

Brethren please help

Newmum0615:
Yeah and also request for advice on how to proceed with your passport submission and application for baby.

Ifeoma77:

Remember that even after baby comes in 3 weeks, you still need to get their passport done.

Newmum0615:
I don't know if travel history is a problem. My opinion is that it may be. My opinion sha cos I believe that the background check that needs to be done from all the places one visits might contribute to delays. Be it for the PA or spouse. I have a good amount of travel time so I am guessing my application is delayed cos of that. But like I said, it's my presumption.
I found out my LVO from GCMS notes ordered via gcmsbuddy. Results came in 2 weeks. Everything looks fine, so it's just a waiting game now.

My story
IELTS:
First attempt LSRW 7.5,6.5,7.5,7
Second attempt LSRW 8.5,8,7,7 (less prepared than 1st attempt so result was a miracle)

POF:
60% was in T bills
Used personal account (left out salary account)
Added spouse pension (presented pfa statement and loe from spouse)
Wrote a detailed loe with xchange breakdown in a table

The Wait
Was checking MyCIC everyday! Sometimes twice a day. Got too tired of the suspense then decided to find out my vo 20days after AOR. Emailed Ottawa but got auto response to use web form. Used the form and got no reply, even till now. I then researched here for alternative means and found this post. Called cic and spent 32mins on hold then 2mins to speak with agent who informed me file was at Ottawa, great! 2 days after i order gcms, yet to receive it. Continued my daily check till i saw the ghost update yesterday. Went to bed, woke up midnight to find golden mail

***beckons on choir for special number***

My worry
I am expecting my baby in 3 weeks but to submit all pp within 15 days. Do i request for an extension to allow me add my new born or go ahead to send the pp now and raise cse when the baby comes? What is the process for requesting extension? Will have to fast track pp for new born but do i do new born medical upfront?

Ok, thank you.

I should send the documents without them requesting? Wont it look like I am been defensive?

Pls I New explanation is long travel a major issue I don travel more than 20 times o

GlitteringStar:



1. Na lawyers fit advise your question oooo. Well, since joint legal guardianship means that decision making is shared by both parents (adopted and biological) and the mother provided her consent, then the equation is balanced.

2. You can raise CSE and upload the documents just to be on the safe side. Try to upload the proof of custody too in case you didn't upload it when you submitted your application. You can also include LOE to further explain and prove that she is your adopted child. Submit the mother's ID card to show that she is the biological mother and dad's death certificate to show that the dad is dead. The reason is because their names is already on the child's birth certificate and you will need to prove that it is the mother that signed the consent form and not someone else.


By the way, try to hope for the best (after raising CSE) since you've submitted already.

That's the essence of CSE sometimes. You would have provide all relevant info and if possible make reference to the notes.

niobe77:


'Plan' is to birth in 3rd week, rest in 4th, get bc and start pp in 5th then probably complete medical in 6th.

Also trying to avoid back and forth sending of pp and revocation of visas as much as possible.

Kindly ignore my ramblings and help me. I am so confused right now. Thank you.


Thank you everyone.

TheCanadianDrm:
I initially uploaded the proof of custody (Court Judgement), her biological father's death certificate, Her biological mother's voter's ID card attached to a notorised consent she signed.

TheCanadianDrm:
I was just worried that won't raising a CSE without been asked sound like I am been on the defensive even when they have not queried me.

TheCanadianDrm:
Thank you so much.

I will raise a CSE. I initially uploaded the proof of custody (Court Judgement), her biological father's death certificate, Her biological mother's voter's ID card attached to a notorised consent she signed.

I will get evidence of school fees we have been paying, HMO id cards, family pictures and anything I can think of. This will be attached in the CSE. I was just worried that won't raising a CSE without been asked sound like I am been on the defensive even when they have not queried me.

God help me. I tire.

GlitteringStar:




Do you want to claim points as a self-employed applicant? If not, make sure your work reference letter is in CIC's format. You can then include pay slips/bank statement, your offer/appointment letter and if possible, you can also include the business card of your supervisor/boss. You don't have to worry as long as your work experience is true.

TheCanadianDrm:
@newmum0615, @happytbaby, @GlitteringStar, @dupyshoo, @blackbuddy, @40manlappy, @vcole, @cochtrane @boldinc, @bbay84, "Canadianfly Could you be so kind as to look into my case? Please offer your advise

@Everyone. Pardon me for tagging a few, kindly offer your own advice. I just wanted it to appear in their mentions too.

Thank you everyone.

happytbaby:
I read your post and still thinking about it but as you are naming us.....I do not see anything wrong with the GCMS portion you highlighted so I was waiting for someone else to talk maybe I would see what the issue is.

Thank you everyone.

Newmum0615:
This is really a case for lawyers. Our lawyers in the house can help @Ethelia @4Barr. But I think you should do the bolded: We have evidence of her being with us since 2013, school fees receipts, HMO documents, Pictures. Should I raise a CSE and send those?
Write a very detailed LOE and notarize any other document that might help your case. I really don't have good info about this kinda situation. It's best the experienced ones guide you.

Good morning friends.

Question concerning Work Experience.

I worked between 2013 to 2017 in my previous work place and enrolled for Full time HND between 2015-2017 while still fully employed ( I had a special agreement with my boss). After my HND program, I got an offer from a multi-national in the same field as before and I have been with them for a year now.

My question; I have 5 years work experience altogether but 2 years out of that I was full-time student. I read on cic that I can't be a full-time student and have work experience within the same period. What do I Do?

ysteph:
I believe what you need to upload is a certified true copy of the order of the magistrate granting you joint custody as well as the consent form of the joint custodian. Having done that, there shouldn't be a problem. It's just that, IRCC will do a thorough background check to be sure that the consent of the joint custodian is not forged and the death certificate of the father is real. If they do that, you shouldn't have problems with your application.

Raising a CSE to upload school fees receipt, pictures etc won't matter. If and when they ask you can do that. Their only concern is to know if the adoption is legal. Pictures don't show that. School fees receipts don't show that.

The western world take adoption matters very seriously. There have been million of cases of trafficking African kids abroad.

Sometimes, I think requesting for GCMS notes before our application is approved creates unnecessary panic. The comments of the VO doesn't mean your application will not be approved. Allow them do their job. At the end, its possible you're worrying for nothing.
