Whether the spouse is accompanying or not, once you state you are married, the spouse will be required to do medicals and submit PCC. I have read of a situation where someone's application was rejected because the person did not submit medical for a child that his ex gained full custody of and did not allow the child to do medicals.

I also don't think you will be held responsible for benefits claimed by spouse when you get to Canada as you will both be PR then. Once you both get the PR, you both have equal access to benefits.

FYI - See Attachment

Just to reiterate @WunmiAdeaj, this may help others.

Simply state he is UNACCOMPANYING and based on that I do not think he will be asked to go for medicals or Police report.
If you say he is accompanying and does medicals and police report and when they ask for Passport and he is unavailable to submit passport, you are STUCK and unless you provide divorce papers (to show that your circumstance has changed), you will be on that spot. One of my clients passport was withheld for 10 months until his wife submitted her passport because he had stated they are going together. (He was asked to submit passports and submitted his own alone. That is almost a year of being stranded in the country and not able to even proceed on vacation outside the country)

Secondly, if you drag him/her along by force and you guys finally fall out, you are responsible for that dependent for 3 years, because you showed proof that you are capable of supporting that Dependent. Whatever benefits the spouse claim within that 3 years will be converted to loan for you as principal applicant and you are also responsible for the child for 10 years or when she/she clocks 25 years.
Just like in the US, if you married a Citizen and you are granted Greencard, you must stay in that marriage for 2 years. If you opt out of the marriage before the 2 year lapse, your greencard automatically becomes invalid and revoked.

Cheers

Wumiadeaj:
Thanks, please I will just like to know if I can apply as separated/divorced and get it approved, is it going to a cause a delay or even get my application struck out, I keep saying there is more to it than what I will like to discuss on this forum, that is why I was thinking of using a consultant or consulting organisation that has handled such cases for this Canadian Express entry thingt. I was also thinking I can get help towards doing it myself that's why I revealed the little I have revealed so far, I am not the type that is desperate or will lie to get something like this so it's not like am trying to get back at him or circumventing this process, I just want to have my life back, not keep having my heart broken and obviously being stupid, I am trying to move forward with my life. fadedayo303608]I have been following the Wunmi situation and I think this is the best advice yet. You obviously loved this man at some point, so look at this as a parting gift even if this relationship does not work out eventually.

The option is for him to either drag out this process for you by not availing himself for medical and pcc or you going through a divorce proceeding that can span a 2year period. The decision is yours.

Wishing you the very best Wunmi. My prayer is that God will heal your relationship. From personal experience, I know that even the most challenging relationships can turn out to be the best. Don't cut your nose to spite your face. God bless.

@Wunmiadej In filling your form, It ask if your Husband is accompanying you or not. Thus, I think that will take care of if they will be asking him for medicals and police report. Get to that stage first. Seems you putting the cart before the horse and worrying over nothing.

@Aseade Thanks for sharing

My pleasure.

I forgot to add the POF headache.

You guys are forgetting the (POC). Power of Collaboration. 5 of you can come together. (Make sure una trust each other well o and know una houses. This line of advice is 100% built on trust and background check)

So five of you bring 1m each. You bounce the 5 million around una accounts. It gives you transaction volume. Mr A prints statements, and then u bounce around again, Mr B Prints…..

The essence of you guys coming together on this forum is to share and collaborate not kill yourselves with Analysis Paralysis….
Cheers folks.

JESUnifemi4eva:
He is a non-accompanying dependant so please relax, do your bit and pray for your application to be favourable.

Hi Wunmi,
Let me help you.
You seem to really be getting things wrong.
The information your husband submitted to US Visa office has no correlation to what he will be submitting to IRCC.
Gosh, the kind of questions and worry you people generate on this platform is daunting.
Some speak as if they are the Chairman CIO Central Intake office.
Wunmi, relax, provide information asked by IRCC and be truthful. They are not going to ask US Visa office wetin Wunmi husband filled. They are separate entity. The only thing they share is Criminal record database and that is why they collect fingerprints

And for the person asking about legal name, my wife used her Maiden name in the application up to when we landed in Canada and also in all her documents. The marriage certificate alone was sufficient as proof of marriage. Shikena.

What else did someone ask, I am trying to remember.
Yea, you do not need any letter from your PFA stating you can access 25%. Simply print the statement and include in your application.

The way you people worry, one will think, IRCC are out to get you. Bear in mind, they also have a target of people that must enter Canada yearly, or why do you think they keep reducing the score threshold?

Key thing is, BE TRUTHFUL in your application. Don't try to be smarter than MR SMART. It is quite a simple and straight forward process.
Canada Awaits you.

For those of you married, just make sure you give her belle shortly before you land, It is free medical care 90 days after you land in all provinces except Alberta that is immediate.

And the guy that is not yet married to his fiance, and wants to add her, wait and submit as single, when they request for your passport, they will tell you to notify them if your status has changed from Single Married Divorced and Separated.

They also give child support of up to 600 Dollars monthly to support your child, if you have 2, you get like 1100 dollars monthly. CDN o. before you start calculating how to born dozen. (Laughs).

Finally, Guys RELAX, apply and be truthful. Lying to an immigration officer is a serious offense.

Regards

May give it some thought if you increase the offer by 1000%

On a serious note, not doing it for the money so I doubt that your offer would make me abandon this Canny quest. I want a saner environment, access to better healthcare, work-life balance and a better standard of living; all for myself and family.

Am I asking for too much?

And you get 10 years US visa as a PR pending when you switch to Citizenship.

MissShakara:


Depends on the regular inflow... If the account has such amount and above deposited regularly, then its no lump sum. By the way is he the Principal applicant? If he is, you can transfer the whole money and explain with LOE.

Remxyj:
Please House, For a family of 3 which is 18,825 how much will that be in Naira? I'm I using the bank rate as at the time of my application?

I see that the pain of most people is proof of funds. Permit me to chip this in as "expert" in this process, who has consulted for others and obtained their Residency Status
Your Pension Fund Statement is acceptable. Moving money up and down will not help your matter, it will only raise red flags.
I can provide further clarification if you need one.
PS. I am not so conversant with how this Nairaland works
