Please i want to ask if anyone used a lawyer/consultant here and if anyone knows about Attorney David Cohen's law firm(are they experienced enough to help in achieving success). I know Canreach is authentic as i have someone that used them but they are expensive. I am thinking about using a consultant as i have a lot of questions i could not get definitive answers to, doing it on my own is straight forward but my spouse is the issue, i want to ensure he does'nt act as "clog in the wheel" for me.

Boss13:


You have not stated the issue. You may be surprised that you are not alone.

Wumiadeaj:

Thanks a lot Boss13, but the case is ok, let me say all, i have a spouse he went to apply for US visiting visa without telling me(behind my back), though we said we will do Canadian Express entry and i will be the prinicipal partner, but men can think they are smart. He now has a close friend who went to USA with visiting visa, whom i will call an illegal immigrant cos he has the intention of over staying, the friend kept pushing him and giving him ideas till he decided to do the visiting thing behind my back.Am sure they both packaged lies to give them at the American embassy as he cannot afford to just visit, he doesnt have a stable means of income while i do, he used my fund by using my asset to obtain fund for the runs. Then he was denied the visa, he says the reason they denied him is that they say he doesnt have strong ties in Nigeria. Now i want to process Canadian Express Entry visa and am seeing he might be a clog in the wheel for me since the embassies communicate and i do not want to put any false information on my record for anyone, i do not need to put false information for myself as i do not have any and do not believe in such.

Boss13:


Laughs - You don't have any problem at all. Just indicate that your husband has been refused a visa. It's not a problem, but it becomes one when you do not state it.

Wumiadeaj:
Won't I need to fill information like his job and obtain letter from place of work for him also

Boss13:


Very well said. Despite them being signatories doesn't give them the right to transfer monies from the business account to their personal account - though this is done very well in Nigeria; but for tax purpose it's very wrong. It means you are not paying enough tax to the government. You only pay PAYE based on your paid employment; but you are not declaring your entire income to the government and hence undercutting your taxes. This is a crime!!!

I would add that they show little evidence of them owing that business. A strict VO may ask for their tax clearance. A sales transaction to the business may be sufficient to move funds from the business account to their personal account.

The question that may be running in the VO's mind is - how come you work full time and still own a business?

Babachi:

Get a declaration letter from a close relative stating the money is a gift, mention his source of income. you can use the person's letter head. attach statement of account showing the transfer from the person to your account. Adding your sponsors 6months statement of account will be helpful if the sponsor is not transfering from a business account.

Zilifish:


You see. Many people are just having analysis paralysis. Over analyzing a situation.

joyuzo:
thanks sis. I pray so. But I need confirm the fax number from you...the fax number I see after the fax is sent is +17804229734. Is this fine and ok. Becos I'm thinking maybe there is an error in the fax number or so. It's really quite strange with my fax?

XX01:


E reach to over analyze o. Need to ensure no loopholes for VO to say them no want you for Canny.

Wumiadeaj:
Not divorced or separated yet but considering it if need be, he does not have health issues, just thinking aloud in case he has since one has to submit the spouse's medical certificate even if he isnt accompanying. Also think he was not totally truthful on his place of work at the US embassy. I am considering applying as a single applicant while i support with a divorce proceeding/seperation letter cause i dont want to be caught in the web of misrepresentation and being banned for 5yrs because of his actions.Though my passport is in married name, i intend changing to maiden name.

You know what Wumi, you need to articulate all your concerns in one comment so that everyone can have a good idea. I recall reading of a medical issue. I also recall reading where you indicate divorce or separation. Articulate everything. There are more than capable hands and experienced people who may also be in similar issues like yourself.

czaratwork:
waste of money using consultant. DIY (DO IT YOURSELF)advised. There is a lot of materials on the net to assist you

Muchaio:
Hello,
After guest stalking this thread for a while, I finally registered.
Finally took the plunge and got ITA May 31. Now filling the forms and I have few questions that I'm begging the gurus to assist.

1. I assessed my ACCA certificate. Country of certificate is UK but I of course did it in Naija. How do I avoid UK PLC AS I've even never been to the UK?

2. My spouse (accompanying spouse) was refused UK visa a long time ago. B4 I even knew I go marry. Agent issh back then, she was advised to fashi the old passport and got a new one with the middle name stylishly modified (Eg Wura to Wuraola) however all her credentials except the passport has Wura. She has since gotten UK Visa severally on the new passport. Since it is more than 10yrs ago, do we need to worry/declare this? I'm afraid if they do BG check on the name, email fit go uproot skeleton.

3. I also have small comma on my certs, middle name wahala too (I'm a proper village boy no vex). While the name is stated as Wale on my BSc and ACCA, my MBA and passport carries Adewale. WES was issued on Wale cos during my days of ignorance, I evaluated ALL certs. I have gotten a sworn affidavit that we are both me. Will this suffice?

Abeg no vex,

4. Le Boo is from polygamous background. She doesn't want her half siblings anywhere around her application meanwhile the form asks for all family details. Can we just input her direct siblings and move? Me I don't want to play kalokalo with 2080CAD mbok

Gurus, please Epp me

toyogirl:
Hello house,

So sorry to drag us back to this but I'm in the same boat as per boo coming from a polygamous background, having about a football team number of siblings ...so I'm thinking, if we decide not to include the half siblings details, could it be termed as misrepresentation Cos at the end they ask " have you told us about all...lagbaja's family" kindly assist with some insight on this please. ..Thanks. ..

Hi there please through my 7 Steps IELTS Prep Process

@onosgregg 7 Steps IELTS Coaching Method
@onosgregg IELTS step-by-step prep/coaching method
Step 1: Evaluation test
My very first engagement with an IELTS client is to conduct an evaluation test. That way we I am able to ascertain my client’s strengths and weaknesses before we get in the prep and coaching proper.
Step 2: Understanding IELTS test-band descriptors (Get in the mind of an IELTS examiner)
After conducting the first evaluation test, I then walk my clients through the IELTS test-band score. That way I help my clients get in the mind of the IELTS examiner. Basically understanding what’s expected of you.
Step 3: In-depth coaching and exercises for all 4 IELTS modules
This is by far the most essential and critical stage of my coaching process with a client. This is where we carry out actual exercises for all modules; Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening.
Step 4: Evaluation test
After carrying out thorough coaching and exercises we then conduct a second evaluation test. This time to see marked improvement in the client’s proficiency.
Step 5: Reinforce your understanding of IELTS test-band score
Reinforcing the IELTS band descriptors will impress in the mind of my client the need to get in the mind of examiner and be prepared to write and test by the rule.
Step 6: Walk through coaching and exercises
A walk through coaching and exercises will get my client prepared for our final evaluation test.
Step 7: Final evaluation test
On this final stage, the final evaluation test I get my client prepared for his/her IELTS proficiency test.

Not many IELTS tutors follow this process. However, this is a tested method. Please drop a comment share and repost.
Please drop me a message if it sounds good to you.

Joyuzo, Can you please list the document to be faxed to Iqas apart from transcript which the school will send directly. I know Degree or statement is one, what are the other things? Thanks for your expected feedback.

MzWalls:
Good Afternoon Everyone,

I have one year experience. But, i have been without a definite employment since July last year. I have been running my small scale business which is not registered.

At the point of filling for the e-Apr, will this work against me (the one year of no work)?

Also, i am about starting NYSC, would it be wise to state this?

Thank you.

MzWalls:


Please still awaiting response. Thank you

Hope15:

hi, the transcript fee is even higher if you're sending abroad. I asked two weeks ago and was told to bring 78k
Many thanks

40manlappy:


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?

Morbolar:
Hello house. Pls can someone help with the address for CIC for the reference letters and any other accompanying letters. Also if i am a member of my employer's cooperative society where we pay in part of our salary for savings, for POF can the executives write a letter on their letter head confirming this and stating that i can access the funds at any time? Pls assist with info. Thanks
