Your church marriage certificate in 2018 indicates that you are legally married. The only options now are whether you are divorced or still married. Presenting a church marriage certificate signifies a recognized form of marriage in Nigeria. A common-law partnership is different, involving two people living together without a church wedding certificate

Not all churches have wedding licenses so you have to go to the registry after church in some cases. You may marry in church but it may not be recognized by the law if the church doesn’t have a license.

Good day everyone, who went beginning of October or October in general that have gotten responses from ircc

Hi guys ! I'm doing my application on the new portal and under the list of documents requested is Employer letter (current)

A copy of a letter from the employer in Canada. This letter must state that the company will hire you to work in Canada for a specific period of time.

The letter must be printed on the company's official letterhead and include your name, the details of your employment in Canada, and the company's contact information.

I never mentioned that I'm working .... I'm submitting as a current student ..

What does this mean guys ? Please help out ..

I’m commented on this topic because your take is pretty misleading is it’s what I know about, I’m a lawyer but put that aside.

Have you been on the express entry thread and have you read different stories where people were asked for proper marriage certificates as the one they got from mosque wasn’t acceptable? Go there and read and return to correct what you said. Not all churches have licenses so it’s a mere church certificate not recognized under the law except the church has the license.

Hello, my cousin is, but on the condition that:

You don't have excess luggage to carry
You don't have any suspicious (not necessarily contraband) item you're carrying

That you're the only one travelling.

The reason I asked those questions are simple. Someone was introduced to me sometime ago. She was going for her master's degree. She had relations in Canada but had never travelled before so I was asked to help out since we're traveling along same route. I accepted cos of her aunt's kindness to us at home.

We met at the airport. Come and see luggage like someone running away from home. She also had 2 kids, lots of orishirishi packed in luggage. I started becoming a courier assistant right from the airport, yanking off my suit to help out. We landed safely and I was still same person who assisted her in taking her luggage off the carousel one after the other. I wheeled them out for her to take a cab to her location.

If you're not in that lady's description, fine. I'd ask him and revert

Omo, I can relate. Very stressful

In Nigeria we mostly practice something called double deck marriage, as wahala no dey finish 😂

Traditional
Registry
Church or Islamic rites

I received my UK visiting visa last week l applied before my Canada visa decision to attend a friend wedding and I applied with my church marriage certificate, which was approved. However, I was previously refused a Canada visa, even though I applied with the same church marriage certificate and no mention of it was made as the reason for refusal. I even legalized a copy at the Federal Foreign Ministry Abuja , and it was stamped too.
Upon my return from the UK, I intend to apply for a France visa using the same certificate. Hopefully, next year, I will apply for a Canada visa again with the same church marriage certificate because if it is recognized in Nigeria and i have many northern friend that use only their mosque marriage cert to apply visa , I do not understand why a visa officer would reject it.

Leave it.

The essence of the law in Nigeria aligns with the points I've mentioned and that’s the law. It's crucial to acknowledge that visa officers, being human, vary in their sources of information—some have firsthand knowledge, others rely on the internet, and some may exercise discretion. Your past denial involved points unrelated to your application and you were wondering where it came from, highlighting the divergence in decision-making. Packaging your application appropriately plays a role; some succeed with a modest approach, while others may benefit from a more thorough presentation. Keep in mind that you went the extra mile by legalizing a copy.

Good evening all, please what those it means to get an update on my application tracker. And no update on my portal, my tracker updated today and still nothing change on my application. Everything look the way it is when my biometric updated in October last year.

Okay,l was refused Canada visa based on travel experience and it was clearly stated and no mention of wedding cert. but I want to ask you a question as a lawyer. What would you advise this guy now? He initially filled out an application stating that he was married in 2018 while applying student visa and presented a marriage certificate. However, we cannot determine whether the marriage registry is legal or not at as that time . I was asking a respected fellow beside me, and he suggested the best and easiest way to proceed without complicating matters would be to state that he is divorced and obtain a court sworn affidavit to close the issue. Any other opinion could complicate things for him because what he presented initially was a marriage certificate, and his status was married. Please provide your advice, not just from a legal standpoint, but considering the practical reality of the situation.

I wasn't referring to your wedding certificate; instead, I was highlighting instances where visa officers might give reasons unrelated to your application during a refusal. This underscores the variability among officers, some may overlook certain aspects, while others scrutinize more, and errors can occur in the process.
Some officers may overlook a certificate while some will probe further.

Regarding the guy whose marriage certificate is in question.

It's crucial to ensure legal accuracy in the presented information. However, the suggestion of obtaining a court sworn affidavit declaring divorce seems a plausible approach, as it aligns with the current circumstances. Balancing legal accuracy with practicality is essential, and legal guidance with appropriate persons will help him make informed decisions. That way there’s no misrepresentation of facts.
