OBYNOWEST12:

Seriously I have rated my capability am not too good with writing and speaking..

House I need suggestion on which material I can use to practice. I really want to improve.

Thanks.

my take is that trad will fall under common law if both of you lived together for at least 1 year and had things in common ....eg a child, bank account, etc. also to the best of myknowledge there is no divorce process for common law partners. The LOE would suffice, and explain it was a traditional dowry payment( tone down the marriage word if u must) and show proof that it was also customarily dissolved as best as you can.

best of luck

Newbeecey:
Yeah, i tried this later but the placeholder pop-up for UK still remained there, I even uploaded my naij PCC there in error and cant seem to remove it as I am required to replace it with another document. Dont know what I will do about that yet

If you had not previously represented to them that you were once married, I would have suggested that you go with ”single” to avoid long explanations.
As it is, I think the two arms of the question should be read disjunctively in which case you should answer yes to being married before. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you were married under common law. You can always put in an LOE to explain that it was under native law and custom which neither grants a marriage certificate nor a divorce certificate.

We both do not have a birthcert and all other utilities u mentioned are in the wife's name.

What format of affidavit can we do to proof relationship.
Or should I do an attestation of birth for him in Nigeria?

Ronards:
Hhhmmmm........ I don't even know how to start.

I give all glory to the almighty God, there surely is a God in heaven.

Towards the end of 2016, I looked at my kids n suddenly became scared for their future in this country. Spoke with my hubby n his reply was, "ki lawa fese bayi? Let's just be prayerful ". Hhhmmmm....... I don't think this man understands what I'm talking about. I lost hope for this country (sorry to say). We started praying " God, please have mercy on my family n do that which only u can do".

December 2016, I suddenly got a call from a family friend who I haven't spoken with for almost five years. He's a Canadian citizens based in Manitoba. He said n I quote
" se Nigeria to wa yen oti su e ni?"
I replied
"haaaa, oti su mi ooo but what can I do? "
Then he asked if I won't mind Canada n that was it ooooo
(really at that point, all I wanted was to leave this s******e of a country)

That same December, I applied for international passport. I didn't get it until January 2017

April 2017, I wrote ielts
LRWS: 7.5,7.5,6.5,7.5
Too low for direct Express Entry
Told me I have to go through PNP
What did I know? I was like anyhow, kin sa ti dey Canada.

So the journey to PNP started. Applied for Wes ECA n my transcript from OOU In May. OOU showed me pepper oooo didn't get transcript until August. To verify again took another one month.
Finally I got ECA n CxC evaluation in October 2017

Fast forward February 2018 after ITA we started looking for POF. Chai..... we suffer small ooooo I contemplated declining several times but my family friend was like if you decline, u are on ur own ooooo, he'll just take his hands of my application
Kamari!!! The struggle continued. Finally God helped us n we were able to sell off our landed property which led to bulk transfer of cash into our account.

Now na LOE we started to google how to write Loe n that was how I came across this wonderful thread with amazing people n large hearts (God bless u all) I copied my LOE from this thread can't remember the part n the name of the good person that posted it but it was in a tabular form. We prayed n fasted before we finally submitted our application im May 2018.

So house, here it is

A little concern, guys. In stating the period of your study, which is most appropriate? From the year u started to the year u finished or from the year u started to the year the degree was awarded? I had a PGD in 2013 which was expected to be for just a year but submitted my thesis in 2015 and was awarded the degree in 2016. On my transcript, it was stated 2016 as the year the degree was awarded. Please what becomes of the study period? from 2013 to 2015 abiii from 2013 to 2016 and what becomes of the full academic year? cos i know this IRCC guys can be so meticulous. cc: mcstan18, tojued

pcachuks:
I don't agree, remarking takes 3 months to come out and it is very possible that in three months which is = 6 draws, that the score might drop to 440. Best for you wait and hope. Besides score increase in writing is not guaranteed!!!

Please where do I submit my passports in Nigeria?
Do I need to physically go to the VFS office in Lekki?

chizilulu:



Find below an excerpt from a PPR mail. There is actually no vfs centre specified to submit your passports. The things i forsee as issues (not big ones anyway) are: 1. Your passports will not be submitted as one application which i expect the visa officer to handle. 2. Your passport processing will be on hold until they get all the passports from that application because it should be treated as one application...(my opinion). I suggest you contact the visa office in Accra for clarification.


YOUR IMMIGRANT VISA(S) APPEAR(S) READY TO BE ISSUED, IF THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE IN YOUR FAMILY CONFIGURATION. IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY CHANGES, PLEASE CONTACT OUR OFFICE BEFORE PROCEEDING.

PASSPORT(S)

As of May 1, 2018, all original documents, including passports, must be submitted via the VAC.

Please see: http://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/ and follow the instructions under the

“Passport Transmission Services” section.

TEECANN:
Wait for some 3-4 draws and watch, you may be lucky, cutoff may crash and favour you at 440.

If after the wait, the cutoff doesn't come down to 440 and below, you may then initiate an EOR hustle.

...and it will end in praise IJN!
