Elders in the house, pls I need your advice.
My family friend plans to invite me to Canada for about 4 months - Visiting visa. I stayed with her for over 7 years before she relocated to Canada.
She currently has a Job in canada and is also a PR.
She said can sponsor me.

The problem is we dont think her letter of invitation, her bank statements would be enough to convince them to give me 6months visiting visa.

I have no links (not married, no one to sponsor me from Nigeria neither do I have the amount needed for the trip in my account) she plans to plan to pay for the trip and all.

So we dont waste money applying for Visa, how best i can be approach this.

Your advice would be appreciated please.

Gurus in the house, please help with opinion on the below questions:
1- Can someone use two different address as mailing address and residential address the application form ?

2- If an applicant has 3.2M in his/her account and a question on the CIC form says “how much fund is available for your stay in Canada” how can such person respond to this question. Is it save to put the whole 3.2M as funds available for visit? Please assist a brother in need of clarification. Thanks in anticipation

Good afternoon to you all, please I need your help on this. I applied for sowp last year but I was denied and i reapplied last month and now I got a message that I have to my biometrics which have done last year which is going to expire 2029 although I just changed my surname to that of my husband, but I have sent the receipt of the previous biometrics I did, affidavit, marriage certificate, newspaper publication but I am yet to receive a response from them. Please what do you think I should do .Do I have to do another biometric due to the change of name?

1. Ask this question on Kubeir Immigration page on Facebook. They will have better legal advise.

2. As for me, I would get a birth certificate that omits the father's name showing he was never in the picture.

3. I think after this, gather the documentation and submit to IRCC. If they need more details they will ask.

To boost the application, try to get some evidence showing that you tried to contact him. Try to get some form of paper trail (send emails, use linkedin etc) stating that you contacted the father and got no response.This shouldn't be hard considering the man is not in her life.

While the documents are with IRCC, try to get some documentation from a Nigerian court showing that he has never been the child's legal guardian and he has relinquished all rights to the child. IRCC might ask, and they might not ask. It will be safer to be running it in the background. A family lawyer might be able to help with this. If he never shows up in court to contest this, a judge might grant it in absentia (Again, see a family lawyer. This is from my own little knowledge).

The case might end up in Accra but I don't think it's impossible.

BlestHanneSSG:
Sis, based on what I've learnt here, whether the baby bears her (the mum's) family name or the said father have never been in the picture from day one as you put it, are not even relevant in this EE journey. What's relevant is, as long as there's a biological father figure in that child's life and he's alive, the mum must not only bring this plan of traveling with the child to Canada to the dad's knowledge but she must also get his consent, except she has full custody legally. She needs to get that sorted out first!


Thank you for the reply. I’ll be forwarding all replies to her.

babs4all:


When did you submit?
It means you can come and pick it up. Thereafter, you will see the decision, whether positive or negative. I pray you share good news with us.

Eraytee:
sent

ETX can delay forever.
They are so unserious.

They will keep promising that they will do it.

You have to find anyone in Ife that can help you do it directly.

Ebuncrown:
Good morning everyone and happy Sunday. Please I need some sort of advice.

I have been processing my transcript in OAU via etx since 2018 even before I bought the canny vision all to no avail. Over 30k gone down the drain.

Long story short I was introduced to someone in transcript office who has helped so far. I paid for courier service to send to CES as well extra PR for his own work since October 2019 and up till now My transcript has still not been sent.

I gave him a piece of my mind last night and woke up to his text now saying he wants to sent the transcript to me in Lagos and I’d send to Canada myself if I don’t mind the extra cost again. I don’t mind o but the questions are

Should I accept to do that cos I have been waiting for IFe to send it for the past 4months all to no avail.

If I accept should I send it from Lagos or travel to Ife to use DHL on campus to send it?

What if CES decides to verify and they discover I sent it myself though in the official envelope and seal, would it create any problems for me?

Since the school wants to frustrate my efforts, should I go ahead and send it by myself?

Thank you guys.

YesLadyN:
Hello House,

Glad to make my first post here and congratulations to all those who’s had PPR.

Please who here has used CES of University of Toronto for their ECA? What was the experience like?

Thanks.

@YesLadyN, so so sorry to hear this after so long!!! What was d reason for refusal. Hope u know it to give up, u need to refire. If u can list d docs u submitted a d d refusal reasons, we could put heads together and see what u could do different. I really feel u, take care. It is well.

emeify1:
Reapply for the SOWP as seeing your hubby has a work permit, they may not issue you a visitor Visa. Order your GCMS asap. Does your hubby have a NOC A, B or 0 job in Canada? If u give a few more details about yr application, I could offer some pointers. I have been where u are now.

abbyode:
The surest way for you is the PR route. Since your hubby is already working using PGWP. He only needs to work for one year then he will be qualified for PR using Canadian experience route. That’s almost automatic. Tourist visa might not work for you as you won’t be able to prove a tie in Nigeria. If you are reapplying for SOWP then you have to know when his PGWP will expire vis a viz when the application will be decided. I hope this helps?

Graced08:
Congratulations YesLadyN!!! I am next in line in Jesus name. Amen

Girllikeme:
