I have same opinion with the officer, isn't a long process?
Thank God it ended in praise.
More like we had limited knowledge about it and didn't want to spend $4,500 on consultancy fees

My crs is 374 as it stands. If I do another ielts and score maybe 8.5 on reading and listening, all things being equal, I will be at 430. Do you think this increase is worth it?

Hmmm, this one carry hat for head.

You need an immigration lawyer, but if you don't have the funds, get ready to do some research, if you can get the reason for denial, good.

You have made the mistake, whether it's an honest mistake or that you dont know it's so important, what you need is solution.
You need to write a letter of explanation, screenshot your chats with hubby, whether raw,good,anyone, do you have pictures with him?
Voice note? Compile all, send to them.

Do you have pictures of the wedding,whether small ceremony or big, send.
You either tell them that you don't know how important the question is,and since you did not get the visa, neither did you know the reason for denial, you don't know it's important.

Or you can write that it's an honest mistake.
That you must have been too quick and you missed the question,thereby filling anything.

Include that you don't want to be apart with your husband, it's not like they work with emotions, but you have to give it all you can.

Go on YouTube,Google on writing procedural fairness letter .

Finally, with God all things are possible, I put him first always because he has come through for me in times when human have concluded my matter.
God is the head of all the government, Authority.
Talk to him sis, tell him to take control.
I will be praying with you.
I expect your praise report.

God's luck.
IRCC stress. I remember once contacting a licensed immigration lawyer about the spousal sponsorship process. The man said he was going to bill me $4,500 and also sent me a long set of requirements and the wait time was over a year. I just told my partner to consider writing IELTS and enter the express entry pool as I moved to Canada via express entry and was conversant with the process. Spouse sponsorship looked complex to me even though everyone says its easy. She eventually got PR via express entry and through the process people were telling her to just do spouse sponsorship as express entry is hard. Upon landing the CBSA officer too told her that she could have just applied into the family class program

Goodafternoon everyone.
Please I’m in desperate need of help and ideas right now.
I applied for spousal sponsorship in June 2023,
My husband came back on April 2023,got married to me and travelled back to Canada….
We applied in May but our application was rejected due to some mistakes,then we reapplied in June…
I’ve done biometrics,Medicals and all documentation…
Was waiting for ppr,when I got an email…
A procedural fairness letter….
First of all they asked me to prove my marriage the further,by adding more pictures and chats and documentation…
That one is not an issue..
The main issue now is that they said I’m guilt for misrepresentation……
I never knew I made a mistake in the form……
To be honest,I filled the wrong box by mistake…
In 2017,I was denied a us visiting visa…
I think I wanted to go for vacation or something….
I can’t even remember why they rejected me…
It was since 2017,
So they asked me to prove myself,if found guilty,I will be banned for 5 years….
My marriage is still very young and the emotional turmoil of long distance sef is painful….
I consulted some consultant and she said I should look for the slip they gave me the refusal slip…
I can’t find it….
But I had to search my mail and saw the application slip with the application number…..
How do we go about it and honestly,we don’t have the funds for a lawyer at this moment….
Pls has any one gone through this
I'm not sure why you're being asked for the slip. Get a licensed immigration lawyer to draft a response to the procedural fairness letter for you. What I see here is the visa officer having doubts and looking for loopholes in your application. Its okay to forget a visa refusal 7 years ago.

Most people I know in Nigeria don't plan. In fact the politicians with humongous resources seem to even plan better than the average Nigerian with limited resources

Well, if you have dependents in Nigeria and you remit them Chilean pesos, guess what? You're sending naira for those dependents to spend. This is so clear it requires little explanation.

So I don't understand this mantra of "earning abroad isn't spending naira". The fact is that all money is fungible. What really matters is how easy is it to earn money wherever you are

I have a cousin age 27 who migrated to UK last year, graduated from Unizik, no job for years.
Yes he works in a factory in UK and sends money to his mother and siblings. Are you telling me the garri his mother buys in the market is not bought with naira?

You do know there's MANY Nigerian men that live and work in the USA and UK but their wives and children are in Nigeria?

A pharmacist friend of mine just arrived here from Nigeria. I've known this man since maybe 2010. Every year he comes to the USA in April and leaves in October and maybe one or two other trips. He works for a temp agency, covering for American workers who go on spring and summer holidays. As far as I know that is his major income and his family lives in Nigeria. He earns dollars and spends naira!

Guy please think about it. Like it or not, the fact TODAY is that $350 = ₦500K. See me trouble o...money is money and it's easier to earn it in some places than others.



It's not gonna be easy to earn monthly pay of $2K or ₦3 million in Nigeria. How and in what industry or business🤔. I bet you it's not up to 0.1% of Nigerian adults earning that.

Good Luck to Nigeria.

Its relative. Personally living in Canada has really paid me and I will admit that. But I also acknowledge the challenges and sometimes wish I was able to earn much better in Nigeria without the need to be here. Aside from financial gains the knowledge gain or brain gain is also very valuable.

People easily compare income in UK vs Nigeria without comparing expenses. What's the essence of earning so high when your expenditure is also so high and at the end of the day you have almost no savings?

The West from.time to time throw banana to Africans, attract our professionals to come and do their menial jobs. Once they get what they want they close the door. 10 years after, they open another window and the cycle continues. Modern day slavery
Money is what it can do for you oohh. Exchange rate only means something to me when I'm travelling to Nigeria. Ability to make good money anywhere I find myself is more important than all this exchange rate thing

This is Canada o. You can imagine countries where the first language isn't English. I migrated to Chile and I planned it well. I even took the pains to find a house from Nigeria and paid a year worth of rent and it was worth it for me to be honest.
The thing is you cant even explain things to people such that they will understand. When people come to my apartment now they will think everything worked out easily but it wasn't. Some people will definitely have it easier but my own experience was harsh and I landed the country as a PR , employer supported me and friend picked me up + housed me for 3weeks

US has been so hard cuz they no dey give visa again. It’s like they’ve shadowbaned the green passport, but keep collecting money from us for visa — you’re spending nothing less than 1M+ trying to get appointment, especially if you are thinking of the student route — yet denied. Go to Walter Carrington around 6AM to 8AM, and see crowd , only to get denied and money wasted. Most Nigerians now will rather use their money chop fish and open shop for their wives to be selling beans and rice than to waste such money on American visa
B1/B2/F1 visa is not the issue. Getting a green card is the major challenge. Being restricted in a foreign land is hard enough

Those that have money are doing it codely.

I have about five people in my hands that I am processing japa for through the student route. They don't make noise, because silence is security.

Japa happens, all the time. People leave the airport every day, they just choose not to make noise.
Going to study abroad for the purpose of upskilling is great. Going to canada as a student without money is like hell. I studied in UK about 10 years ago when the exchange rate was about 270 and I had a very good time. The struggle I see students in canada go through is not worth it and very unfair of the country to offer such abysmal study experience to internation students who pay so much.
Canada has a skilled worker program (express entry) that makes it possible for highly skilled professionals to come into the country and employers tend to hire these candidates based on their skills and experiences. International students with no experience are usually not able to compete with these candidates in the job market and end up struggling. As for adult students who moved en mass in 2021-2023 only time will tell if the Canadian immigration system does not axe them

Honestly I can never advise a married man to migrate from Nigeria Sha grin. I am just glad I did the whole thing when I am single. If I was married with kids I don't even know how I will cope.
Never. I came to canada as a single person aged 30 with a professional job offer in hand and support from friends but I still struggled. I slept on my friend's sofa for 3 weeks before moving to an Air bnB (after earning my first paycheck). Stayed in a basement for one month. Then moved to another air bnb (room in a chinese couple home) where I stayed for 3 months. I could not compete for apartment rental for 4 months. All rental applications were rejected due to skin color, lack of canadian rental history, credit history and low credit score. The only landlord that accepted my application in the 4th month demanded for 5 months rent upfront. I can't imagine going through this with dependents. It was not easy.

UK has tightened their immigration policies with recent salary threshold of £38700 and care COS restriction.

KPMG has even made it clear they won't hire overseas workers again. That's the resultant effect. The govt wants to push Brits especially people on benefits back to workforce. Apprenticeship especially where there's massive shortages is being supported.

That's the challenge we migrants are facing now and migrants that came especially last year is too high. So demand has significantly increased for declining opportunities (supply).

All these don't mean "apart from electricity, UK is the same as Nigeria". A single night shift here is what professional earn as monthly salary back in Nigeria (with over 50% inflation). Stop capping please.

UK is just an overrated country. Aside the presence of electricity I dont even see the difference between Nigeria and the UK. I have friends in the UK with the same experience level as I am and they cant even get a job interview despite being there for more than a year o. They will be saying UK experience. As if the javascript written in the UK is different from the one written in Nigeria. Canada is a much better place but an extremely difficult place to survive if you arent well loaded. Australia has made great changes to its post study scheme. I am so glad I followed an uncommon route and I like it so far.
After living in UK and Canada , I'd say Canada is less rough for a skilled immigrant. If you are patient, hardworking and a good planner it is quite easy to get stable in Canada. Express entry rules are clear which can be used to get permission to live and work in canada. After that, one can move to Canada with money + skills and battle out the job market and gradually build. Problem with our culture is the love for doing things anyhow without planning. Thus you can find someone dealing with spouse, children, immigration, financial and career issues all at the same time in foreign country.

Hi House,

Please i am trying to enter into the Express entry pool with a profile with my Husband
I have two certificate which is my Bsc and my AAT serving as a 2 year diploma certificate
My Husband has a master's degree from UK
My working experience is more than 3 year
But for my husband, it does not give the option to pick the foreign skilled worker experience, so i cant put in any work experience for him but he has just 1 year before he went for his masters
He is a software developer and i am an auditor
I kept in all of this details and the CRS score came to a total of 477
I don't know if that is normal or something is wrong
I thought both i and my husband applying will give us a better CSR score
I all maxed out all the IELTS score

Do you think i have missed out something while inputting our details on the CRS
or that's just the score we have

What else can be done to improve the score at least to get to 500
Will you be able to attempt the french exam boost your score ? With IRCC applying as a couple can swing either way. If you have similar profiles it can boost your scores. But if your profiles are different (one with a masters degree and the other with a diploma) it could reduce the scores.

I envy U o
That's the difference between us. I'm a pure finance person. My strong hold is deposit mobilization in all sphere, given the right tools and space to work with. I have a 12 year experience in that regard also with very strong records in my previous organizations, do U think the international space can recruit my likes. I'm also willing to move and travel as often if given the opportunity. Thank U
The opportunity will always be there if you can align your skills to what is obtainable where you want to go to. In US/Canada for instance cash is a liability hence bankers do everything possible to extend good credit. In Nigeria its the other way round (mobilize deposits/restrict credit). In addition, marketing in these developed countries are data driven. As of when I left the bank I was working at, there was not BI team or system on ground. Hence I don't even know how these deposits are mobilized with leads. Hence learning the systems is also a good way to start and begin to streamline.

In the bank then software applications were constantly modified to suit the needs of big companies in a very unprofessional manner. Even when you ask for time to figure out the implications of a change, the marketers will escalate up to the line director who will overrule the head of technology. As a result systems were always failing, work stretched into the night on an almost daily basis, saturday + sunday work was normal and everyone was tired. To be able to get this jobs we all had to do a lot of learning outside to complement our day to day work.They use to say once you became an AGM you were made. Before there very eyes a DGM in IT resigned.

It's almost impossible to make such move in 18months o.
I am an AM/DM in investment banking space and I changed work thrice in the last one and half years. Potential employers were raising eyebrow that I moved around too quickly.
Seems U a banker also?
Lol. Not really. I was a software developer in the bank. The stress was just too much coming from human factors. Marketing constantly attacking and condemning members of the dev team, unprofessional practices and all. 80% - 90% of the dev team members I worked with quit the banking space. One even got a job in sierra leone that paid her $4,000 a month while the bank was still paying her 200k plus. Small experience (barely 1 year) I got in the E-payment system unit paved way for a dollar paying gig. Some moved to nairobi, kigali and were all earning 4 or 5 times their bank pay. After covid (2021 upwards) European and US companies began to hire developers from Africa in large numbers and most of us moved again ( I was in Johannesburg then). Got a software gig in Toronto and moved again.
Our bosses at the bank who were so used to the system to spending multiple years on one level and playing politics (praising the bosses) became bitter that people they trained are now earning much more than them. Those banks are actually destroying young people.

Let me use myself as an example.
I met and surpassed my deposit target 4months in a Nigerian bank
I did about 5billion as a B.O
Even ordinary clap, I no chop, not to talk of promotion
One of the banks I worked with
My direct manager stayed 12 years as a DM before being promoted in 2022
I'm not saying she's not smart but she's a high level political player to have attained that height
Mind you, the question of how she got money to be the single largest shareholder crosses the mind
Remember the position she is promoted to is also subjected to CBN approval
Too many politics at the top
If you were a BO in 2001, you may have been promoted from BO to AM and Manager in 18 months. It was not unusual to start out at 25 and be a senior manager by 35. I'm sorry to say but your direct manager ought to have moved on to another bank or another sector. During my orientation at a bank as a newbie, one of the executive directors came to speak to us. We were 72. 69 contract staff and 3 permanent staff (my self and two others). One of the recruit contract staff asked him about this contract arrangement where you have people being on contract endlessly and even permanent staff spending many years on one level. He responded professionally but ended by saying "If I were you I wouldn't be a contract staff for 4 years". The signs were there to see but many prefer to get stuck in the system and continue to complain.
GMs are treated like Gods. EDs are treated like the owners of the universe. Timing is what made these people rise fast. Nothing special about them and today anytime I'm in Nigeria I meet with my former GMs and DGMs. I tell them about things we are doing and how they can improve there software development practices as well as run better systems. When I was in the bank I could stand outside a GM's office waiting endlessly. In their eyes a junior staff is worse than the floormat or trash. A bank MD once told me not to join a bank at any grade level below a manager. I learnt it the hard way after joining a bank as a junior staff. Glad I was able to exit the system after a short stint.
When I wanted to leave the bank I got offers from two other banks which I turned down because I felt the issues will be similar. I set my eyes on jobs abroad not because I didn't like Nigeria but I disliked that servitude culture. I never saw most of my bosses as superior to me and never felt inferior to them.

Zenith Bank is not a deposit bank

It is more of a transactional bank
No HNI or Institution will ever deposit money with Zenith Bank based on rate

How much can U get paid to be the largest single shareholder in the bank

Adora is a special staff of Zenith bank. Her deposit mobilization strength is unmatched and she rose pretty fast but the owner of the bank (Jim Ovia) deliberately kept her as Deputy MD with supervisory role over a lot zones/branches and she was never under any CEO . Jim ovia was her CEO over the years lol. It was only normal that at some point she emerged CEO but when it comes to areas of banking outside deposit mobilization, time will tell how her tenure will be.

Hmmmm
For Zenith Bank
The deposit they mobilize has to be government funds
They have some of the lowest rates in commercial banking
Whatever she is in the system must be a very very powerful one
She has to be extremely powerful
That position heavy gannnn and is also subject to CBN approval
I doubt if Zenith dey lose staff o because they hardly sack their staff
Staff resign on their own. Its got a good brand hence easy to use as a transit point. She rose through the ranks by consistently meeting her deposit target. As you know banking has other roles outside deposit mobilization. This was one of the reasons why she never worked out of the office in Lagos. Her role was basically public fund mobilization which she did well going by the rent seeking system Nigeria operates.
A lot of hardworking staff lose confidence in the system and leave. The ones who are loyal usually end up regretting. The mathematics is simple. I joined a bank at the age of 25 as an executive assistant. I was told then that it takes 4 or 5 years to move to the next level. Which meant if I was not exceptional, I would have stayed till age 29 to move to the next level. It didn't make sense to me and I noticed they operated a strict hierarchy system where it is assumed that you know nothing if you are below a manager and all that. Hence I resigned after 1 year and 2 months. Got a job at a Fintech in Johannesburg where I worked for one year before I got another job in Toronto and moved to Canada. People are stuck on one grade for 9 years (for instance deputy managers unable to move to manager or Senior managers unable to move to AGM rank). Everyone is just stuck and the banks don't care. But I also expect that people should care for themselves and know when to exit. There was a time people spent 6 months on one grade level before being promoted. The beneficiaries of those days are the present day directors in many banks.

Another animal talk (in Fela's voice) from an online clout chaser.

Go and start your own banking dynasty and set the bar high na.

See as you dey under rate this personality despite everything she has accomplished.

Another Anu mpa ma
Adora never started a bank. Call it whatever you want. Deposit mobiliser is what she is. Show me her ICAN or ACCA or CFA or work profile outside zenith bank. Can her profile be compared to that of Herbert Wigwe ? Ebenezer Onyeagwu ? Peter Amangbo ? Adesola Adeduntan ? Ebitimi Banigo ? Fola Adeola ? I don't need to start a bank and if you are one of her boys or girls in zenith bank I wish you goodluck in the Zenith trap.

Hmmmm
For Zenith Bank
The deposit they mobilize has to be government funds
They have some of the lowest rates in commercial banking
Whatever she is in the system must be a very very powerful one
She has to be extremely powerful
That position heavy gannnn and is also subject to CBN approval
I doubt if Zenith dey lose staff o because they hardly sack their staff
Staff resign on their own. People don't wait to be sacked.

30 years of experience is young
She can't be any less than 50
She's more of a deposit mobilizer than a professional banker. Zenith bank has steadily been losing quality staff sha
