US citizens do not need PPR because they don't need a visa to travel to Canada. When you receive a PPR, only your child passport photo will be requested. Then you'll get the COPR.

Please Google it if in doubt.

As soon as you have the LO's US Passport. But at least 5 working days

customised87:


No, it won't matter. You only need the US passport to request for VOA

ozymes:
Just state the expected date of arrival

Hello House,

I was last here in 2015 after I had my first baby in the US. Then we were in Part 3 or so, it’s amazing to come back and find that we are now in Part 6. Good job to everyone who has kept this thread going.

There is a goldmine of info here and I have been reading slowly but still a long way from reading up everything which I intend to do.

But pls i’d like to make an enquiry. I know this question may have been asked and answered but becos of time constraints I’m yet to see it, so pls pardon me in advance.

I applied for a BI/B2 Visa in 2013 to attend an int’l conference. I returned after the conference and a yr later I got Preggy. Subsequently used the visa again in late 2014 to have my baby which came Jan 2015. I paid all my bills and had no issues.

In 2016, I applied for another visa to attend the same conference this time with my hubby. It was his first time, we were both granted visas and we travelled with our baby.

Now I got Preggy late last year and I want to use the same visa again to have the second baby. Baby is due Early Aug give or take 2 weeks and I intend to travel sometime in July. But the issue is that this visa expires mid Aug meaning that it expires while I’m in the US.

I don’t want to run foul of overstaying so my question is do I apply for another visa while this current one is still valid? Or do I take the advise of some pple off NL who says to just show up at POE and I wld be stamped in for 6months if I declare there that I want to stay 2months cos of childbirth?

I have written to the lagosniv email to seek guidance on how to proceed but yet to get any reply after 3days. Pls house, kindly advice so I can act quickly.

Many thanks in advance.

Scan the letter and attached along with a copy of your Nigerian passport data page, DW's data page, LO's yankee data page and LO's copy of Birth Certificate and send to the NIS e-mail address dedicated for VOA. keep Fit and Stay Blessed.

Thank you very much OZYMES

If you’ve followed this thread from part one you’ll know that Houston, Chicago, DFW, EWR are one of the toughest and passengers under go great scrutiny there. I’ve been through Houston point of entry in the past year and I saw what it’s like

chloe00:

Yes it’s normal if you apply for B2 and you’re granted you get B1/b2 regardless they’re under the same category.
Since you’re going to Houston I advice you to be very tidy with whatever you said at the interview or else it may pose problems to you.

Hello All,

Please how do I contact the USA embassy to notify them of my intention to give birth, even if I have used the visa for the purpose for which it was issued.

I just want to be on the safe side.

Thank you.

MrsBee:
Please who can explain this, I received an email from CIC that "your application has been updated" but no new message or updates when I check myCIC account.

Has anyone here experienced this?

Well, I submitted the Schedule A in advance too...its said that you will be requested to submit it later in the process, once you have answered Yes to any of those statutory questions. So why not just submit it under your LOE bar and save yourself sometime.

Ehrnie:


hi -

I'll suggest you follow this up with your bank to make sure it was actually declined and not deducted. The last thing you want to do is to pay again and then have to chase up IRCC for a refund.

As for your CIC account, whichever way the payment transaction went, it'll come up with an update after "processing payment". Just relax.

temitope06:


If transaction didn't go through, it'll prolly change to payment declined or something like that then you'll try again. You got a dorm account? how much USD did u purchase to give u the Canadian equivalent.

Abby2017:
Good evening house,
I am aware the new draw is 423 and I am currently in the pool with a CRS score of 445. I would like to know if everyone that scored above 423 will be sent an ITA or it is a random selection from 423 and above.

Also, as regards my proof of funds. My account has always been busy with credit and debit transactions with total transactions in each month exceeding the needed proof of funds but the fund comes in bits and goes out for different business and expenses. If i get ITA and generate the amount needed for the proof of funds and stop debit trasactions on the account, will it cause any harm to my application? Or I am meant to leave the fund untouched (means no business with the fund) for 6 straight months, starting from now?

Anyone that knows about this should please shed some light. Thank you

Spatz81:
Please my people, is it compulsory to collect and attach receipt (Treasury Receipt -Lagos State Govt) after filing an affidavit? i.e "one and same person affidavit"

Bimpsy99:
