Its really been quiet in this forum since the Whatsapp group was created.......but not everyone uses whatsapp and the news and advice from this forum has been great in helping applicants deal with any issues and the extreme patience required for the sponsorship process thru AVO.

Good day everyone,

Please i need urgent assistant. My spouse is sponsoring me from Nigeria and he is also based here in Nigeria, I have filled all my forms and gathered necessary documents, my biggest headache now is how to make payment from here. I went to my bank today (stanbicibtc) and was told there's been a ban on making international payment using the MasterCard. Please house, is there any Nigerian here who has successfully made application payment from Nigeria? Please help me with how to go about this, cause that is the only thing holding me back from submitting my application.
Thanks all as I await your response

Tell your spouse to make the payment with his Canada credit card and send you a copy of the receipt.......that's all you need to attach to your application package.

thanks for your response but he is not based in Canada, he is also based here in Nigeria.
 
does he not have a Canadian Credit or Debit Card......if YES

then he could make the payment from Nigeria

No, he doesn't have a canada credit or debit card here in Nigeria cos the last time he visited Canada was some 10 years ago and his account in Canada is dormant, he was told he can only activate his account when next he visits... Thanks for your response though, I appreciate.
 
Hello house
Have been following this thread for a while but had nothing to contribute or update cos am a new applicant waiting to get the first response.
Am a Nigerian, a principal applicant. Application was received by CIC Mississauga April 12.
I got a mail today, my UCI and application number received.
It took 1 month 5 days to hear from them, to get the first response.
That's my little update.
Thanks to all our seniors here.

I'm not sure how you pay, but it's your husband Canadian by birth or naturalization? If naturalization, are you sure he's still Canadian? There are residency requirements and if he hasn't been in Canada for 10 years he may have lost citizenship and wouldn't be eligible to sponsor you. Have you two checked?

Citizens don't have residency obligations under the current law. It was under a previous law that they had. It has since been repealed.

Only PR have residency obligation to reside in Canada 2 years in a 5 year period to maintain their PR Status.......Canadian Citizens do not have any residency obligation........Also, PR in Canada could reside outside Canada and still able to maintain their PR Status under certain conditions like working outside for the Canadian Government, Military, etc...

Ok wasn't sure. I do know from reading the forums that they are going to have to show their intentions of returning to Canada in their application .
