Good afternoon house, please I really your advice on a very crucial matter. Hubby and I have only the Nikkah marriage certificate, change of name affidavit and newspaper publication, and our proposed court wedding has been slated for late January next year. The issue now is that, there’s a high probability of us getting an ITA in the next draw which is before the court wedding. Should we use married or common law partner in our profile, as the court marriage certificate is not yet available. Please all suggestions will be highly welcome and appreciated. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by amdman: 4:25pm On Dec 27, 2020 |
Bisunique25: Do you have kids? How long have you lived together? That will determine whether you qualify as common law partners |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by NaijaCanadian28: 6:36pm On Dec 27, 2020 |
Bisunique25: The only kind of marriage recognized by IRCC is court wedding so you’re technically single in IRCC’s eyes. If you have been living together for at least two years and meet other criteria, you can claim common law. If you don’t fall in any of the categories I mentioned, your spouse has to fill in his express entry profile that he’s single, he can add you after you have done the court marriage. |

Bisunique25: Hi, check the link below on a post regarding Nikkah, you can reach out to the poster for more enquiries. I know people have used it before but I can't recall their handles. I think Olajide21 was one of them but not sure as it's been long https://www.nairaland.com/4472519/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled/26#67157790 Also visit the IRCC website and if possible reach out to them for clarification especially with regards to the screenshot attached. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/permanent-residence/non-economic-classes/family-class-determining-spouse/legality.html Wishing you all the best. 2 Likes 1 Share

NaijaCanadian28: NaijaCanadian28: Are you sure about court marriage being the only marriage recognized by IRCC? Can you provide a link to that information. As far as I know, unless things have changed now, the requirement for marriage to be recognized in Canada is if the marriage is recognized in the jurisdiction where it was performed. From personal experience (not hear say), I personally did not have a court marriage so also was my brother. We both had only Nikkah. He has been living in Canada since 1988 and I since 2001. So, unless things have changed, Nikkah is recognized in Canada since it is a recognized marriage in Nigeria were the marriage occurred. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

Bisunique25: Bisunique25: Unless things have changed, your Nikkah is recognized in Canada because the requirement for marriage to be recognized in Canada is if the marriage is recognized in the jurisdiction where it was performed. Since your Nikkah was performed in Nigeria where it is recognized, it is recognized in Canada as well unless things have changed (I am talking from personal experience). Just make sure that you translate the marriage certificate issued by the Mosque into English by a certified and registered translator. Attach the translation to the original when you submit your document. Like I keep saying, unless things have changed from what it used to be in the past, you should be fine. 7 Likes 3 Shares |

Good Evening all, I recently developed cold feet about migrating to Canada because of how hard it is to get a high CRS score without MSc(thought of going for masters then I remembered ASUU wahala and also the certificate might not be ready when I need it and if I decide to wait till I get it then I probably will have to write IELTS again). I decided to seek advice and guidance from the seniors in the house that succeed in the journey as i intend kick-starting the process by January. I have BSC and 3 years+ of work experience but I discovered that even if I make the highest score in IELTS I still won't be able to reach CRS cut-off so I included getting TEF which I seriously hope I pass as I will be learning French from scratch. I have made up my mind to write TEF(the fear of not passing this in one sitting as I will be learning French from scratch give me cold feet) first while doing ECA, then IELTS and if I still don't reach CRS cut-off then I will explore PNP option. So I want to ask if my decision is okay and how effective is PNP(I am in the construction sector,a Quantity Surveyor)? Also what else(except masters) would you advice I include in my plans that will help increase my CRS score. Thanks in advance. 1 Like |

Nickxander11:https://www.nairaland.com/6081746/canadian-express-entry-federal-skilled this has been explained in the page one of this thread. The occupation is not in demand so pnp will be hard or impossible. Your options are second degree as in page 1 of that link plus french if your crs is still low. There are also over 140000 people in the express entry pool looking for ways to increase scores. So its survival of the fittest.

Bisunique25: Bisunique25: Since you guys have been married for 6 years, even if we can not ascertain for now if your Nikkah will be recognized, you can play safe by saying that you are in common law relationship (but had Nikkah) as we know for sure that common law relationship is recognized. See this link about common law relationship and how to prove the relationship: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=347&top=14 If you take this approach, I will suggest you still inform them that you already have a Nikkah so that they don't say that you misrepresent information should it be known later that you already had Nikkah. You can inform them by writing a letter explaining the situation and include the letter in your application. 3 Likes 3 Shares |

Compliments of the season to everyone. Its been a while since i posted here... I trust everyone is enjoying the holidays. I have a question and i'm hoping someone here can help. My sister is planning to join us here in Quebec via express entry. However, we have been unable to get her school, National Open University (NOUN) to send her transcript to WES. All efforts to contact the school has proved abortive as we keep getting passed to someone else who passes us to someone else(you know the drill, Naija, what else is new?). Right now, i'm wondering if there is any other way to go about this. We have paid all the fees but we just can't seem to reach anyone to know what is going on. Is there anyone who did a BSc. with NOUN who was able to skip through these hurdles? I would appreciate any information you send my way. Once again, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all. |

QueenJoeffrey: Hi QueenJoeffrey. Yes, you can except something's changed, that's exactly what we did. We landed in Toronto took a train(ViaRail) from the Union Station. Flights were grounded that day due to the weather and after hanging around the airport for a couple of hours we decided it was better to go by rail. It also happened to be a much cheaper option. |

Hello everyone. Compliments of the season. I just got my PR and we're planning to land next month. Please I have a few questions and I'll appreciate if you guys can put me through. 1. I'm pregnant. We plan to land in Toronto, and I'll be about 35weeks gone by then. Does Ontario still do the 3 months wait before we're eligible for health insurance?? If yes, please which province issues health insurance within a week?? 2. I'm an accountant, practiced a little with my degree, but I've been in the banking sector for the past 1year. I want to practice with my degree and do the CPA. But I don't have ACCA or ICAN, and all I've read on the first thread are for people converting their ACCA or ICAN to CPA. I would like to know which is easier and cost effective. Do the CPA exams from the scratch, or do a diploma or Masters that covers some or all of the CPA courses ![]() I would be grateful if I can get clarification from a landed senior. Thank you |
