Mate,

You would like to move to Canada from the UK? I lived in the UK and then in France. It was a carefully thought out decision not to move back to the UK but to Canada from France.

Many Brits are moving to Canada. Most of the expats that moved to Canada and went back to the UK regretted it.

Check out the Facebook threads on British Expats living in Canada, you would learn a lot, especially as you are currently in the UK.

All the best with your decision.

Good day everyone, please i need advice on the issue below:

I have received ITA, passed Medicals and also done biometrics. My fiancee and I have our court wedding scheduled for sometime in June 2023 after which, i am to update/inform IRCC of the change in my marital status and then include him as an accompanying spouse.

The issue now is he had, in 2021 and 2022, applied to US for school and was refused VISA both times. Unfortunately, he had put in the second time(in 2022) that he was married to me and provided my name (i.e First name, second name and his surname) in a bid to show home ties.

I feel this may constitute an issue as i entered the pool in NOV 2022 as a single lady (rightly so as i was and am still unmarried) and this misrepresentation may be known to them when running their background check on previously visa denials.

Can anyone who has been in this situation or has an advice for this help with how this can be handled?

Word of advice, thread carefully cause iRCC has sth called information sharing. This is a check done on an applicant by getting information about the applicant from other partners or countries. therefore, it is highly likely that they would be getting the information from USA and that is an automatic misrepresentation.

You could try stating the previous wedding was a traditional marriage and you just did the legal wedding in your LOE. That might work.

You might also want to hold on with the wedding and finish your process then invite him over. That's safer in your case and now, Canada recently made a policy aimed at speeding up the processing time for spouse. Good luck

It might be best to come clean.

One of the reasons - even without adding him to your application as spouse, if Canada and USA share very detailed info like marital status then you may already have a discrepancy between your info on eAPR (single) vs US (married). Haven said that, we can't say for sure what data US has for you (maybe name, date/place of birth, but no biometrics) since it wasn't you who applied for a US visa.

If you add him, obviously he will need to answer YES to the question about being denied a visa, if further details are required, he would mention the year and type of visa.

I was going to ask if he provided a marriage certificate to the US and if it was got from the registry (I'm not sure it matters though). Coming clean also means you may need to provide chats, emails, photos etc. to show the relationship is genuine.

Thank you @shaynehuey for your response. Indeed, there is the option of holding on and then inviting when i get there (after coming back to get married as wedding by proxy is not valid), however, my fear is what i am running away from may most like come up then as well. It is likely delaying the inevitable and that is why I would like to explore resolutions at this stage, if possible.

I am liking the idea of explaining that the previous was a Trad wedding and the one in June 2023 will be the official one and that was why I inputted single as my marital status in NOV 2022.

Quite honestly, ‘confusion is me and I am she’

Ravissante:


Thank you @graciouswords, you have been quite helpful.

Without adding him, i am not ‘compromised’ because he didnt put in my full name. He put in my First name and then his surname. These do not tie to my profile yet as it stands.

There was also no marriage certificate provided then, only marital status showing married and then spouse’s name and in this case, he provided my First name and his surname.

By coming clean please; do u mean me stating categorically in the LOE that he had indicated he was married for the second Visa Denial? Or just coming clean on him being denied visa previously .

Thank you Graciouswords

Good morning house,

Please can I use an investment certificate obtained from an asset management company for SINP ITA as proof of funds. The funds have been fixed for 9 months. It's 110 days already since I invested the fund with them, but it'll only mature into my account in 9 months.

Thanks.

Hi everyone,
Urgent question please.
Is it okay to apply for a student loan to study PGD in Canada and move with my Family?
I am a degree holder from a Nigerian University already.
Your advise is highly appreciated. My spouse would work full time while mine will be part time cos of schooling and looking after the kids. Is this idea of taking student loan OK?

GraciousWords:


You'd definitely have to come clean about him being denied - that's very easy for IRCC to check and people get their applications refused all the time for saying NO to that question when they should have said YES.

See this judicial case where the husband was deported from Australia some years before their

Come clean - meaning explain his being married in US application. You could say it was ill advised and you realize the error of such an action and say you thought it best to be 100% truthful in your current application. On the US front - you could decide not to go to US till you get Canadian Citizenship......if you no wan explain yourself twice

I don't think it will have a negative effect so long as you are the one who owns up to it........it's when they find out themselves that yawa usually gasses!

We may imagine that they cannot tie your first name and his last name to you (again I cannot say for sure how detailed their checks are.... the US DS160 gives room to give spouse date of birth and place of birth), but suppose we are wrong and they ask for additional information nko.

Not easy, i hope it works out well for you.

Good day my people,

I have a friend who completed a 'Doctor of Medicine' degree from an Ukrainian university looking to start her PR Journey but a bit confused on steps towards achieving a positive ECA assessement for highest degree. (i would like to hear more from anyone in similar situation)

1. Since Ukraine is in war, how possible is it to get her transcript sent to WES? is it okay for her to use the original Transcript already issued by the school on completion of her studies in 2019? or just email WES to explain the situation?

2. will WES assess her 'Doctor of Medicine' degree as a professional degree needed to practise in a licenesed profession (eqivalent to masters degree level of education) or should she assess with IQAS?

Looking forward to a beautiful reply. Thank you.

You need to have gotten a Letter of Interest on your IRCC EE profile dashboard before submitting an EOI. Although I did submit my EOI after the ICT info session of last year.

What do you mean by working VISA? You are setting yourself up for scam already. The possibility of getting a job offer in canada from outside Canada is almost impossible. Yes people say this and that but don't fall for it. If you know the process that's involved for a company or an establishment in canada will go through, documents to sign and panel to face for giving a job to someone outside the country.

leopardinatree:


If any such agent exists, they charge in the ranges of 25k-50k depending on the teer level. In which case you would have paid yourself your annual salary as whatever money they pay you will only go to refund the money you forked out for the job. Not to mention that its illegal for the employee to pay for LMIA or to secure a job.
And to add insult to injury, there are plenty of people already in Canada on visit visa applying for jobs and not getting due to their immigration status, leave alone you who is all the way in Africa.
But in the event that you do find one, I am also interested.

Tim5press:


I've carefully read your messages and responses but unfortunately no one made mention of something very important;
I believe you know that the moment you include your spouse post ITA, your CRS scores will.be recalculated with your spouse information and if the score doesn't give you the minimum score they used to give you ITA, you won't pass the eligibility.
