They are not suspecting your marriage. They said your watch is fraudulent... Buy a scratch card enter




@Mimikoms Go to your registry and do a marriage search in Canada, they will give you a note showing you have never been married before or if you were in a common law relationship explain in details how, why and time relationship ended with any supporting Document E.g child custody if any and your CRA taxes showing your marital status before your marriage and after.
For waec check the DOB and if your husband wrote his waec in the year 2000 it should have his passport photo on it, u can send the scratch card if possible write a letter explain why you are sending it to them and include the website on your letter. Also add new stuffs like screenshot whatsapp chat, SMS, call logs, western union, flight tickets etc but include them on your supporting document. Make a list of what you are sending to make work easy.
@tender this sounds good as some of you know am not Nigerian I was just trying to help

That has been on my mind since yesterday, cos even when I applied for permanent residence, I only submitted Wes verification, and that was for university education.

However, I assume it was needed for the previous checklist.

Going forward, especially for 2017 applicants, it's not on the checklist, the only thing necessary is the birth certificate for Nigerian applicants.

Please, I know that we are trying to give supporting documents, but let it tally with the checklist.

For the WAEC certificate thing, let your husband get a WAEC scratch card right away, and check the result him self.

If it tallies with his certificate, I presume he's in Nigeria, if in Lagos, let him get to Yaba, speak to the officials, and get a letter authenticating the certificate.

He would submit the otiginal authentication letter, a notarized copy of the original certificate, and a scratch card for them to verify.

He could also write a cover letter explaining himself.
Thank you for this, I was confused as to whether to submit WAEC certificate or employment letters. I think we will just skip over that if they didn't really ask for it.

Okay u can request for the option C,my husband had to publish our intention to get married at the registry for like 21 days or so .if you guys had to do the same get records from the registry and also send a copy of your marriage certificate again ,if ur guys did traditional wedding get traditional ruler or an elder to also write a letter confirming that this is the only marriage for you guys.hope that helps
@Mimikoms there's a way to prove the person in Canada is not married to anyone else (or wasn't before getting married). There's a certificate or letter of non-impediment that the Canadian government provides. You have to get a sworn affidavit from a lawyer and submit it to the department of foreign affairs or something like that in Canada. But the posted turnaround time is long though 30 days, but they do have "urgent request" link on the site I provided above.

Yes keep in mind, the whole application package was changed in Dec 2016. One of the things that changed was the requirement to submit school certificates. So, those who applied beforehand probably had that requirement and those of us afterward did not.

I'm a 2016 Oct applicant and we did not have a requirement in the guides that we must submit school certificates. We never sent School certificates as part of our application.

I know that Accra was asking some applicants for it as part of their background verification (I'm assuming usually if people's documents like birth certificates were newer). So, maybe other applicants in the forum may have wanted to save the trouble of being asked and sent it along with their application, but we never did send it in..

I hear you my dear, it is well. you are very close to the finish line already. I am November 2016 applicant and really feeling the heat too. But I have committed everything into God's Hands . What else can we do? These people don't care about anyone. It is only God that will see us through this trying times my dear
