I will certainly go ahead, I was able to higher an Immigration consultant and I have been informed on what to do.. My wife is Canadian, My daughter is Canadian too and they all bear my Name.. We only didnt do court Marriage yet for some personal reason and will fix that later.. Thanks for your wishes

Sha do court if you don't want to pay the immigration consultant for the rest of your life and/or may attract a ban that you won't enter Canada for 5 years. Consultant wey want your money. If applying for spouse visa, please try to do court wedding for your own good. If not, opt for Common-law partner or Conjugal partner which ever your case might be.

However, with your information already ed in GCMS note, your only option is court wedding because anything else, makes your application suspicious and very questionable.

auto5598:
While Canadian spousal sponsorship generally requires a legally recognized marriage, Canadian Immigration officials are aware of the forms of marriages in Nigeria, and will consider traditional marriage ceremonies alongside other evidence to determine the validity of a marriage

Do you have a government Gazzetta from Canada or Canadian website for this or what you got from Google or A.I.

Please can you share such link?

You can sponsor a conjugal partner if:

there is a significant degree of attachment between the two of you, implying not just a physical relationship but a mutually interdependent relationship, and
you’ve been in a genuine (real) relationship for at least 12 months where marriage or cohabitation (living together) hasn’t been possible for any reason.

If you’re in a common-law relationship
You can sponsor the person as your common-law partner (any gender) as long as you’ve been living or have lived with your partner for at least 12 consecutive months in a marriage-like relationship.

If you’re in conjugal relationship
A conjugal partner is:

a person who is living outside Canada,
in a conjugal relationship with the sponsor for at least one year

auto5598:
Hi fam !, can someone advice me what document to submit as proof of Marriage when only Traditional marriage was done? in a case for Spousal Sponsorship.

Why don't you save yourself the stress and do court wedding. I doubt if IRCC will accept Trad wedding as legal civil marriage. You can as well submit your application under common law partner or conjugal partner whichever you so choose if you want to avoid "court wedding for reasons best known to you"

Find below

Sponsoring your spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner
These apply to couples of any gender.

If you’re married
You can sponsor the person as your spouse if your marriage is a legally valid civil marriage.

Marriages:

will be recognized for immigration purposes, where the marriage:
was legally performed in Canada, or
if performed outside of Canada, the marriage must be legally recognized both in the country where it took place and in Canada

This is the Twitter/X of the current high commissioner of Canada to Ghana. She resumed I think September or November of 2024. She still new. We can use the @ and complain to her and see if anything will fall from shaking the tree.

Her Twitter/X
@MMontrat

Hello

Can we all go to Twitter and/or X to call these people out and see if anything will come out of it? Can we agree to do that.

Let's start doing something. Keeping quiet is not going to end this. Let's call them out and tag everyone possible.

Congratulations op! Would you be willing to help with steps you took to achieve this feat. I intend to pursue a PhD in mechanical engineering. Thanks in advance.

There are no major steps. The only thing you need to is to look for a supervisor and indicate your interest. That's all you need to do.

All UNB bound students feel free to halla at me. Thanks.

willyboss:
Did you still go ahead with the doctoral program?

Yeah. I did. Thanks for asking.

austinelex:
happy for u ooo but are u d one sponsoring ur self or uncle pls more light

All bills are on me though I wasn't asked to show or prove anything. Just what you saw up there. That's all.

vickertony:

Boss, Happy weekend.

I like to know more about the scholarship, you mentioned,i graduated with 2.2,cgpa is above 3.0,i like you to help me with information on all available scholarships to study in Canada for such grades,since you are experienced and already there presently,just any scholarship both full funding and half funding.

Thank you.

I don't know of any for your grade. However, go through the websites and speak with the issions officers.

As a student presently in Canada, I'll advise you to start both process and run it concurrently. I am not wishing you bad or evil but it took me 2yrs to get an ission in Canada. Your case might be different because you have a sponsor and in that case you might pick any ission and come to Canada but I was applying for ission with Scholarship. However, Canadian ission is not automatic. Put in the period you have to wait for ission, receive your ission letter and apply for Visa. My own story, ission took me 2yrs, Visa took 3 months. Then the window of denied visa or approved visa, whichever is your case. Like I said earlier, i am not wishing you bad but based on my experience I'll advise you while you apply for your ission, also enroll for your Nysc. Whichever comes first go for it. Never miss any opportunity in life.

So start applying for issions immediately, get your ission, apply for your visa and get it. The worst case scenario you can differ your ission till next term. It is not an issue here. THE ISSUE HERE IS TO GET YOUR VISA. Every other thing is moi moi case.

Visa Approved.

LadyGuinivere:

You do not need to know if other people have gone through this cos in my view it's of no help to you
If you were asked to come with your Kaya, carry your Kaya go. If they want to your details, u go and them. No biggie, unless u lied. If you didn't then no reason to panic

Not panicking, I don't need to. I wanted to know if anyone has been under this condition and the reason why it was requested. It is called being informed. I'm cool girlfriend. I don't panic.

nefertitiram:


They want to employ you be that

I don't understand oh. I am applying for visitors visa now not job visa

Please, I am applying for US B1/B2 visa and the embassy sent me a mail to come with my Cv, and all certificates. Is there anyone who has been asked to come with these documents?

Meissner:
I chose university of Ibadan last year but wasn't itted because my 8year old WAEC result has Cs in my core subjects.
I chose LASU as second choice but wasnt itted too.
The UTME score of 308 just wasted.

I have just gotten 305 in this year's UTME again but I dread wasting it like last year's.

I need medicine ission. Kindly suggest federal or affordable state universities where my chances of ission is pretty high with the available grades and scores.

Again if you are someone or know someone or know someone that knows someone who can help. Kindly prevent this long conceived dream from dieing.
Thanks.

.

My advice to you is to stop killing your dreams in that country. for SAT and TOEFL ace it and you can go to anywhere in the world to study with full funding. Nigeria might mess up your dreams. Guess what buddy THEY DON'T CARE.

they normally collude with unscrupulous staffs of the major telecoms company, let me explain, once they target an they want to hit, the number that the holder recieves alert is the number they will divert, all text messages and calls will never get to the holder's phone but to the syndicates phone, once they succeed in clearing an , the bank insider that supplied the info will collect between 20 and 30% of the loot, the telecom company staff, it could be m.t.n, glo, etisalat or airtel, that helped to divert the phone number will collect 10 - 15%, the syndicate will share the rest. and lest i forget the b.v.n have been heavily compromised by corrupt bankers, i know people operating 10 s with different names and with different b.v.n numbers.

Hmmmmm, you just said it all. From what the bank is telling me, they used mobile banking platform with my phone number to hack my and that the BVN of the culprit has been circulated bank wide. And from what you are saying about multiple BVN, it means they will not catch the criminals and my money is gone because the bank said they have to catch the criminals first and then make them refund me. Meaning if no catch then no refund. Interesting. Let's see how my lawyer handles it sha. Thanks for the info.

hakimi1974:
what exactly do you want to know?

The part of getting alert or no alert. I received email alerts not phone alerts. Because I don't use my line anymore.

hakimi1974:
this is classic resemblance fraud, with inside collusion, let me explain, insider will print out all info and image of the targeted holder with a colour printer, he will then hand over the sensitive info to his partners in crime, especially those syndicates operating in mushin, shomolu, and oluwole axis. with this info all the syndicates need do is to shop for somebody who look like the holder, or nearly look like the holder so that slight make up can be done by a profesional make up artist, before then they must have mastered how to sign your signature know your date of birth maiden name and most important your phone number to hold it, but in o.p's case they did not because he got alert on transaction from his bank if not he would have kissed his monies good bye. less i forget they also have insiders in all the gsm telcos. all what they need do is to walk into your bank sign the neccessay documennts and wahla, your money don go be that.?

Please can you explain further. Let me understand what you mean. Thanks
