Errrm, it's not as "easy" as you sound.

You'll need enough evidence to show that your marriage is not "arranged".

Evidence like the following:
* Historical proof of relationship (more like how you met and when)
* Communication over a period of time (chats, call logs etc)
* Lots of pictures like traditional, white, honeymoon (if applicable), reception, pictures with friends, pictures from dates/outings.

In all honesty, if one is not financially buoyant and does not have friends or family here, I'll say either stay back and save or come alone.

Getting an apartment as an immigrant is tough especially without a job, even if one wants to live in a basement, depending on location, it ranges from $800-$1000, and basements are like the coldest part in a house.

If your wife can hustle with you (do a 10hrs job with over 9hrs standing, buy used winter gears, use the bus, etc), fine, else na work o.

My intention is not to scare any, some get jobs immediately, but for planning, better ensure your POF is truly yours and you have some extra. Naira has no value here, more like a -280 actually.

Cheers

Good you're both young enough. You can take the lead, be the main applicant since you have higher qualifications, evaluate your result(s) and take IELTS. Get married after you submit your application when you get ITA. Then inform IRCC and update your POF.

That way, she'd only need to do medicals and police certificate. Go and start your young married life in Canada, it will be better for both of you.

I'll say there's no easy answer to this.

If you go as a single, you'll need to prove that you can sponsor a family member, you'll need a good job first (which can either be immediately or take 6 months+), then waiting period for spousal sponsorship application is another.

Going single is a cheaper option, both in application, POF, ticket and living in Canada, however, it may take time for your wife to join you.

Going as a married person can be advantageous, if your wife also knows how to "hustle". Once both of you are here, you're as good as settled if both can "hustle" and live modestly, also if you have birth control in place, else it'll be a lot of stress for you, if your wife gets pregnant and she's not working.

There are government support options but that's another topic entirely.

Cheers.

I'm in my late 20s and she's early 20s, she only got ND with few years work experience.

I feel like going to hustle first before bringing anyone along, don't know which is better, going single or married based on information provided.

Thanks for reciprocating.
