May God not give you what you didn't wish for.
Ridiculing other people's real life situations is an invitation to what ails them.
If you can't answer,is it not best to ignore and move on.

You're not better than anyone here.
Ello Sir/Ma,

Post was not directed to you. You will need to have a lot of patience o, so as not to get too touchy. Every once in a while, a playful post comes up (as in this case) and people laugh and move on.

Now back to your request.

1. Court documents which shows the filling for divorce.
2. Submit an affidavit stating your estranged spouse is unwilling to take medical/pcc. (If true)

3. I hope your ee profile states divorce/seperates.


Note: even if you guys make up someday, you will never be able to sponsor him/her. And pls make sure he/she is in the know of the above plan. Who knows, they may decide to partake in the process. Do not commit perjury.

Thanks a lot for your response, really appreciate. I also need further clarification. Should they also state when the account was opened, the total amount in the account and value of 25% after after resignation? Stanbic IKeja wants a draft copy so that they can just type in their letterhead.
you'll get your account statements with the letter and theyll state that youre eligible for it 25% according to the pension act. If u dont mind waiting till monday, id check the contents of mine and revert.

Congrats bro.

I have been nurturing this plan of adding a spouse before PPR or even after COPR. However, after reading your post, fear come dey catch me. Asking for wedding pictures, reception and honey moon pictures, etc... Hmmmh.

I thought a marriage certificate from registry is sufficient document for proof of marriage? For someone that's in a distant relationship, those courtship pictures may not be handy too, unless they need whatsapp chats.... grin grin

Someone please explain what happens if they requested for those documents and all you have is marriage certificate from registry with few pictures taken during the court marriage ??
Hello Sir.

We have done only intro and registry. Those pictures will suffice. We said No honeymoon yet as We plan to take it in canada grin

Youd be asked how often you see and what mode you use in communicating plus pictures of your outings together. Any picture whether na isi ewu una go chop or person birthday.

Take a look at the tiebreaking rule - March 3 shocked. So between March 3 and March 14, very high CRS score applicants entered the pool. The stats are scary sha. At this rate, only back-to-back-to-back draws will have a material impact on the draws cut-off score.

Well, I'll still be here in the thread having fun with my virtual family while also sitting in the pool sipping zobo.

In other news, any single lady below 30, with an MSc, 3 years work experience who is interested in getting married this year should contact me. I have a message for you from the "lawd". grin grin

Dear Brethren,

...for the Egyptians [BC and IELTS] whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more for ever.
The day has come for us to be set free from these Egyptians. They have somehow given me some sort of mixed feelings though. Nevertheless, I am extremely grateful to God that my morale didn't wane down to a nadir.

L - 8
R - 9
W - 7
S - 8.5

I'm considering a remark in the W, I need that 3 points badly. What do you, my e-family think?
On a lighter note, someone here was touched to give me a hug the last time while I was seemingly downcast. Now is the perfect time, with all the

I have come up with the prediction for the 82nd draw.

If it happens today ( *Jan 24* ) with:
2750 ITAs - *CRS 441*
3250 ITAs - *CRS 439*
3750 ITAs - *CRS 437*

The variance in the above calculation is +/- 2 CRS.

Please find below the CRS cut off in case the number of ITAs issued is more/less than the predicted ITA count:
Err, Mr Mathemagician. Sorry sa, the above figures failed to list the people that have jumped into the pool since last draw. Why its important is because a regular, single 29 year old with just bsc and clb 9 will readily be in the range stated above, hence why there are more people in that cluster.

anyways, nice predicshun grin

Gift deed goes with bank statements as your POF. you should also state it in your letter of explanation detailing how you came about the money.

Thanks Threadstone, i appreciate your response. Please what dimension did you use for both- 50mm x 70mm or 35mm x 45mm?
I did not measure. I walked in to take the passport and they asked if it was for canada pr or us application. I mentioned canada and they snap pishure and delivered. As said in here earlier, You can use the hardcopy dimensions (ppr) for the softcopy then you may resize if you want. But i submitted just the way it was sent.

I would like to find out if I should just print the hard copy for PPR which will be 50mm by 70mm dimension and then I adjust the frame to 35mm by 45mm dimension for eAPR to avoid having to go to the studio twice when PPR arrives by God's grace grin?

Can I also get the hardcopy signed and stamped by the studio today?
