Summe:
Hi everyone,

I got married after submitting my application. Now that I have been approved, how do I go about applying for my husband to join me.

I raised a webform to update my marital status already, but I don't know what visa to apply for him to join me.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you very much my brother @TeeMade.

I decided to take a break over the holidays to rest and prepare for 2021. I'm happy to be back on this thread again and I'm rooting for everyone and expecting to having the best year in 2021. In the same vein, I'm wishing everyone the very best in their respective applications. My sincere prayer is that this year will bring lots of success stories and great recognition to this reputable thread.


I would also like to use this medium to applaud my fellow capable group members in the person of Justmellow, Chocs and Mcobex. You guys are expectionally amazing and doing a very wonderful job here. I appreciate your great effort in assisting others.


The thread keeps moving fast, I guess I have missed a lot in my absence . Anyways, I will have to start reading from where I stopped so I can catch up with you guys .

Going forward, I will be very active on this thread. So feel free to share me any of your immigration concerns and I would be glad to provide answers accordingly.


Thank you all.


As always, It will end in praise.

Hello,
From what I can see here, they have not started reviewing your eligibility. That means you will have to be patient. Although things are becoming faster these days. Pray that your eligibility starts in few days and you get your approval. You can send webforms as well like [b]a week interval [/b]that is if your application has passed normal processing time. If your application is still within normal processing times, send webforms sparingly

Please I need clarification.
Is proof of fund required for Canadian study permit if you are admitted to a fully funded PhD program?
Or whats the required proof of funds with full scholarship?

Frankrobbn1:


Your spouse would apply for spousal open work permit (SOWP). You need to provide legal documents to prove that you're legally married to him.

You need the following documents to establish relationship with your spouse (hubby)

PROOF OF RELATIONSHIP DOCUMENTS
1. Marriage Certificate
2. Newspaper change of name
3. Throw back family pictures
4. Snap shot of WhatsApp video call or messages for the last six months (if any).
5. Wedding photos.


I hope this information is helpful to your enquiry.

Please can you educate me more about your current work experience and previous studies. Is Food Science Technology in tandem with your choice of program in Canada?. Your answer will determine my advice for your immigration matters.

Pls I need to ask this question... Is it wise to include that my parents are resident of European country and my younger brother is a citizen and their properties purchased in my name as the first son are somehow in my care since they are not in Nigeria. As proof of home tie?

angels1:
Do you know how long eligibility review takes?

hope4brym:
Sounds like a reasonable home tie to me. But as a general rule of thumb, don't lie!!

If IRCC asks (and they will) about your parents' and siblings' residence and citizenship, just say the truth. It's for their records and your application won't be denied for that.

Yes I don’t need a supervisor. Thanks so much. I will send a mail or call today.

Thanks.

Qcanvs38mimi:

From what office?

fratermathy:


Normally, it shouldn't be required if the funding covers everything, but I've seen some cases where they reject applicants on the basis of financial assets because they didn't submit their personal SoA. My advice is that you should submit your SoA but the amount in it needn't be too much - just show enough to prove that you can take care of miscellaneous expenses by yourself.

If you don't have the money at all, you could also get a close relation
to "gift" you money and then explain the nature of the gift in your S.O.P. However, I wouldn't advise you to get a sponsor or to borrow a huge amount of money. It's always best to keep your application simple and direct. Submitting too many things may come off as desperation, especially if you're a fully funded PhD student. Too many documents also means the VO would have more things to scrutinize and there could be loopholes you hadn't thought about. Just keep things simple and submit only essential documents that prove your eligibility, home ties, and proof of funds.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, package your home ties very well. Whether you have all the funding in the world or not, prove to IRCC that you have material, economic, social, and family ties to Nigeria.

What of someone that didn't do change of name and will there be a need to write SOP?

Hello have your registered for module one courses for winter start at UNB

Am in some kind of a dilemma here

All the best

Akannitommy:
Thanks Frank - very lucid as usual. I will add a few thoughts here.

Most (not all) PhD candiadates from our part of the world are advanced in age (above 30/35 years of age). I also know those under 25 years but very few and between. Therefore, if you are an established candidate - with family, kids, businesses, etc - please show your plan for the family while you are away. How will the family survive while you are away? Does your spouse have a source of verifiable income to cope in your absence? If no, have you made plans for their sustenance? What are the plans - even a simple explanation that shows you have thought about it may be adequate. So the trick is balancing the art of submitting enough documentation without being desparate but also making sure you cover all possible bases in this regard.

Yes, most fully funded PhD applicants have better chance of visa approval, don't take if for granted; do the work. Examples exist that shows even with full funding it is not an automatic approval. You also need to pass a different test of proof when the funding is from Nigeria (say government source) vs. Canadian source. The former requires more work to achieve than the latter.



Ire oh! It shall end in praise.
