Good morning Guys,
I'm abit confused about my timeline; i don't know if this is normal.
Got married in June, 2024.

Nov 30th,2024: Spousal Application submitted

Feb 4th, 2025: 1st Email from IRCC requesting payment of biometrics fee alone and further instructions on how to give my biometrics will come later. Though email contained my Ref Id and UCI number

Feb 5: Payment of biometric fee and reciept sent via webform as instructed

Feb 7: Acknowledgement of reciept of biometric fee submitted

Feb 14: Pre arrivel services letter
Same Feb 14: My husband recieved sponsorship approval letter

Feb 17: Medical request letter, booked alredy for next week.

My contemplation is i haven't recieved my AOR, no instruction yet to give my biometrics yet and I'm not able to link my ircc acount on gckey..

Please has anyone experienced similar timelines, where they got Medical request before BIL and no AOR yet.

I'll love for a response soon, cos I'm considering reaching out to them via webform. thank you🙏

Guys, apart from BCS certificate, what other certificate can one use to complete the 2 or more certificate option.
Currently have a B.Eng degree.
Wrote the BCS exam in april, my result was not favourable due to classes clashing with my work hours and the course content of the exam being very broad.
Registering for that exam a second time will take approximately six months for the results to be out.

The painful part of it all is that I added it to my Wes ECA. My degree has already been evaluated waiting for the BCS transcript to be released, only for this to happen.

It is like correcting every driver when driving. Good luck with that too.

aestake:
Once you throw your matter open, you don't determine the responses. Sieve things and move with the best for you. Whether you were in the know or not, if he is inadmissible to Canada you're too. Again, keep to the truth. Good luck!

ednut1:
she should contact a licensed immigration lawyer. Because if it goes south or there are implications of his actions that marriage self is good as gone . Things dey happen

tshtsh:
May be you should contact an immigration lawyer. Always better to be truthful and consistent in applications and all we do. In addition adding a spouse post ITA may led to the recalculation of your points. I'm not entirely sure what the policy on that is

Llaye:
Please hire a Canadian immigration lawyer.
It’s always risky providing information that wasn’t asked of you so giving details of why he included you as married in his application may actually cause you more problems. I’m not sure the EE application asks anything about who you applied with. All they ask is that you declare any refusals.

Plus, it’s not your name on that application. He wrote your first name and his surname e.g Ravissante Femme, but your own name is Ravissante Partenaire. They are not the same person.
And he could have been married to another woman at the time he applied to America. will you be worried about not disclosing that?

A lawyer is additional cost, but it’ll save you plenty of worry.

But if na me, I’ll do as you originally thought to do: Apply single, get married after AOR and then add him as a dependant.

Let him answer questions truthfully
Q- were you ever refused a visa
A- YES
Q- provide details
A- I was refused a US study visa in 2021 and 2022. No detail or explanation was given for the refusal
(America no dey give reasons on why they refuse you)

Finish.
Risky yeah, but my mind carry am.
For you, please get professional help

NuCypher:
First, let me just say this was originally ill-advised. I hope you learn from this to make better decisions going forward and not let a man railroad you or put you in a very difficult place to achieve his own objectives.

Now my 2 cents. Technically, and in the eyes of the US consulate, you guys are already married. If he supplied all your identifiable information (sex, age, name, maiden name, etc.). By near extension, in the eyes of IRCC, you guys are also married. When they look up your information in other databases, they won't use your biometrics to do so. They will use the same identifiable information he supplied and that could be enough to raise a red flag. Maybe they will push ADR to you and you will be left with no explanations, having already "lied" you were not married. And please note that that ultimately affects the CRS score you are claiming.

I'd just advise that you assume yourself married altogether, even if you are applying without the dude. If that doesn't affect your CRS score, all well and good. Go ahead and do some sort of court wedding to finalize the details so you'll have documents to back up your position. Then proceed with your application. Remember that you get a ban for misrepresentation, which appears to be the case here if you proceed without alerting them to your situation.

Alternatively, you can risk it and not reveal anything, and it may work for you anyways. That's also possible. A search with your identifiable information may turn up results that are not substantial enough for them to issue ADR or act or anything. But the real problem will come when you want to do spousal visa, in which case it will turn up you were already married and which will invalidate your previous PR application. That could also lead to deportation, since it means you never qualified for the PR in the first place.

Really, the decision is up to you. Assume yourself married like you actually really were in the eyes of these foreign embassies, or take the risk.

Ravissante:
Thank you @graciouswords, you have been quite helpful.

Without adding him, i am not ‘compromised’ because he didnt put in my full name. He put in my First name and then his surname. These do not tie to my profile yet as it stands.

There was also no marriage certificate provided then, only marital status showing married and then spouse’s name and in this case, he provided my First name and his surname.

By coming clean please; do u mean me stating categorically in the LOE that he had indicated he was married for the second Visa Denial? Or just coming clean on him being denied visa previously .

Thank you Graciouswords

GraciousWords:
It might be best to come clean.

One of the reasons - even without adding him to your application as spouse, if Canada and USA share very detailed info like marital status then you may already have a discrepancy between your info on eAPR (single) vs US (married). Haven said that, we can't say for sure what data US has for you (maybe name, date/place of birth, but no biometrics) since it wasn't you who applied for a US visa.

If you add him, obviously he will need to answer YES to the question about being denied a visa, if further details are required, he would mention the year and type of visa.

I was going to ask if he provided a marriage certificate to the US and if it was got from the registry (I'm not sure it matters though). Coming clean also means you may need to provide chats, emails, photos etc. to show the relationship is genuine.

shaynehuey:
Word of advice, thread carefully cause iRCC has sth called information sharing. This is a check done on an applicant by getting information about the applicant from other partners or countries. therefore, it is highly likely that they would be getting the information from USA and that is an automatic misrepresentation.

You could try stating the previous wedding was a traditional marriage and you just did the legal wedding in your LOE. That might work.

You might also want to hold on with the wedding and finish your process then invite him over. That's safer in your case and now, Canada recently made a policy aimed at speeding up the processing time for spouse. Good luck

onegig:
I hope you were able to solve this.

Also include screenshots of your examination invite which showed location of exam as Nigeria in the LOE and a link to the BCS IT page which showed this is a distance learning course.

GraciousWords:
Indicate distance learning in CAPs in bracket after BCS and location as Lagos. Also include an LOE to explain why a PCC is not required.

Ravissante:
Thank you. I have gone back to do this but it is still required.

ednut1:
change the country stated where you filled in your bcs from uk to Nigeria.

Did you quote a UK address?

They will not believe you , you don't know them

You will be seen as a purveyor of bad news . My people don't just like to face reality . I am at 490 at the moment but you see this CRS score system , it will take grace for draws to resume with it .

Goulak:
my sister is at 484, which means sometime around 14feb or 28... but feb is her month.

Abercrome:
A few things I wish IOM stated as instructions before I went:
1) Print your appointment confirmation from home so you don’t have to queue up to print at the car park. I thought a soft copy would be sufficient but it wasn’t
2) Pay for the medical before your appointment (at least one working day beforehand) and also print the proof of payment
3) When you get there, show the security men your appointment printout and you’ll be let in
4) They’ll typically direct you to the side for Canadian Medicals and you’ll meet lots of people there. Sitting down isn’t your first priority but rather approach the security personnel handling the crowd and he’d ask you to check if your name is on the appointment list (howbeit redundant). Once you confirm on his list, wait for him to give you a tally/number tag
5) Once you’ve secured your tally, you’ll see an IOM staff with laptop. You’ll need him to confirm receipt of your payment so you’ll give him your printed proof of payment (with your name as it appears on the payment form clearly indicated).
6) While he’s confirming, listen for when your tally number is called. It’s called in batches e.g. numbers 40 to 55.
7) Once you hear your tally number, you’ll stand and be directed to the registration point which is an office. This is very crucial as you’ll get the IME printout you’ll scan and upload to your PR application here. They’ll confirm your passport number, official name, take your picture, etc. The printout is key so keep it well.
After registration, a staff will write the room numbers you need to go to for each medical screening but people don’t follow that. Just be strategic and do the tests with minimal queues first and go back to the longer ones.
9) Price: I’m hesitant to state in case it has changed. It was 45k+ for adults but this is clearly stated on the website so check.

I hope this helps.
