...My bro...I will advise you differ this admission and wait until after the marriage and delivery....this will solidify her ties to naija....also, if she is sent for medicals and of cos, they will discover she is like 6 or 7months pregnant....they might deny her application...cos she might be tagged not a credible student, thinking she is only heading there to have her baby...so, no need to rush, wait till next yr and probably she can apply for another admission later next yr....

did anyone post this in the thread already ? came across this and just wanted to share..

wuralulu:
Marriage cert of my parents?dey r in dere 70s,can dey even find dat one sef,landed properties of my parents even if dey are not my sponsors?birth certs is also an issue,my dad is a retired career ambassordor,most of my siblings were not born in Niga,am planning to indicate dat some of dem who live abroad live in Niga in my form sef,so adding birth certs no go favor me,abi?

newacca:
@Wuralulu,
I dont think you need birth certificate of your siblings. Since they are not applying with you. I did not include my sibling's birth certificate neither did I include my parent's marriage certificate. Also,are your both parent's sponsoring you? If it is one of 'em,I don't think their marriage cert. is necessary. What of ppl whose parent's are divorced,separated or deceased? In my own view,I think marriage cert. is requested from those that r married and also those that are applying with their spouse. wetin dem wan take my parent matrimony do when I no dey go with my Pale and Male? Though I did not use it in my applications. But if you feel it is necessary for you to include it,no P.
#Just my thought though#.

@newacca I thought I was the only one stunned. @Wuralulu, I can say almost in absolute terms that you don't need those documents you listed. Parents Marriage Cert., Parent/Siblings Birth Certificate!!! I think it is an overkill and you might be adding extra layer of workload on your application.
Am yet to understand what those documents are supposed to serve especially when CDHC did not even request for them whether specifically or implied.

Remember, your application should be a cogent, authentic, impressive, straight to the point story. Please don't make it boring.

spencer3705: all,What are those things(suporting doxz) i need to show at port of entry?and wat are d questns to be expected if any?:-)

In addition to @Siga & @Earthgreener, the POE experience is never the same for any two entrant. In my own case, I handed in my Passport and the next moment, I was handed back my passport with the permit on top. So generally, you don't have any problem. Just have your docs handy. You can not be asked anything outside the ordinarily.

Also, at the customs, my luggage was not checked. I was only asked if I have any fresh livestock in my bag and I answered No but just to be sure, I told the officer I have dried fish (Aja Gbigbe) and Grounded crayfish (Ede) , She simply smiled and said no problem.

Some of the best things I came with
Garri Ijebu (Happy I came with this)
Dried Fish and Crayfish (If you are my type, you wouldn't regret it)
Kuli-Kuli (I just finished it though)
Tom Tom sweet(So I can keep my Nigerian Taste bud and to give my Nigerian pals here cos we dont do chocolate in Naija)
Dried Ugwu and Dried Bitterleaf (For my Ofe Onugbu stunts, learnt that during NYSC)
Grounded Pepper - Ata gigun (Key) and
Grounded Melon (Shokoyokoto things)

@ siga and everyone.. I have a quick question.. is it okay to put N/A or unknown for the family information.. where it asked, present address/occupation and stuff like that about mother and father , someone that doesnt know where his/her parents is, or never grew up with them in his/her life ?

Use http://www.farecompare.com . You would get lots of options to pick from.
Which particular airport in Toronto are you looking at and is there any particular date in mind?

They have been collecting our thumb prints from the Police clearance form we submitted so what are they talking about. Anyway I wish them good-luck. Its a further indictment on their part cos when time comes and our country begin make sense, we will also start collecting their finger prints.

@wuralulu and newacca, I appreciate.. I know its a positive one for me.. I strongly declare that it will be positive to u all in the house too as it already is for me.. Our God is a God of certainty. Allah, Jesus,jah, jehovah will do it for us all. Amen!
