Scylla is right, I have learned my lesson well and am moving forward with my own life. To clarify, they are my children, he was their step-parent. I take full responsibility for allowing this to happen to me, I am aware that my choices are to blame...people can only do to us what we allow them...

Many of you won't remember me, but many of you will. I sponsored my Nigerian spouse from Brazil and he landed in March of last year. It was a tough process, but we made it through. On arrival, he was not the same man I had known and loved for almost 4 years prior. He was secretive, always lying...

Does anyone know how/where a Nigerian (from Lagos) who is now in Canada can obtain a letter of experience that shows how long the person has been driving legally as a Nigerian?? This is needed to get their BC License as their current Nigerian License was reissued when it was lost and now shows a...

You don't HAVE to send it to the VO, but it would not be a bad idea as the VO will be aware that it is paid and may hurry things along a little. It tends to take some time to pass from Mississauga to the VO.

We paid the RPRF about half-way through our process. I paid it online, faxed a copy of the receipt to the VO in Brazil and mailed one to Mississauga..they still send it from Mississauga to the VO, but it seems to not slow things down as they know it is enroute.

Shiftpro..it looks like you are nearing the end of the road :) Almost there! And, yes, Sao Paulo is getting alot speedier in their processing! The request for RPRF is a standard form I think - they requested it from us even though they already had it long before.

If it has been more than one year since your medical was done, they will want another medical done before they will issue a PR visa. So, yes, more waiting....

Chelley is right - maternity leave is just another form of EI, so it has no effect :)

I agree...I think you should definitely include them. I believe it shows the relationship is genuine and caring.

canadianwoman OMG that just shows how subjective this process is! My husband (Nigerian) and I sent money to each other all the time and the VO thought it showed that our relationship was real...Of course, I read about that case after I sent the paperwork, so there was no chance to change the...

Alice100/Lena...you are providing him with incorrect information, obviously your intention is not to harm but the affects of this could be huge for them. Dulman, your wife is NOT eligible to be your sponsor if she is in receipt of Welfare or an undischarged bankrupt. There is no way around this...

Yeah! Congratulations! :)

Hi Richie4U...Convergy's is always hiring if you just need a job. What field is your degree in?

We got married in Brazil (my husband is Nigerian). All my Canadian documents had to be authenticated by the Brazilian consulate in Vancouver in order to be recognized by Brazil...is that what you mean?

No, it wouldn't. They are referring to Welfare only. Daycare subsidies, student loans, GST/HST rebates, child tax benefits, disability benefits, EI payments are all not considered to be government assistance.

SuperSham..you should be able to log onto E-Cas using the sponsor's information and the receipt number from your online fee payment receipt...at least you will know for sure that it has been received :)

I have the same thought myself, but I am able to reach across now and hold my husband's hand. I remember very clearly how awful I felt when that was not possible and I know there are others who still can't. I learned alot through this process, and not being able to afford any legal help, I have...

We sent in all the required information..pictures, emails, chat logs, receipts, letters from family and friends, etc...but I truly believe that what made the IO issue the visa was that we put our hearts into our application and showed them what we truly mean to each other. We each wrote a...

I agree. For a marriage to be recognized as valid in Canada, it only needs to be legal where it occurred. It does not need to be "registered" in Canada. You have to list your divorce or it is misrepresentation.

Our background checks were done after our interview...I think it may vary depending on the reason the interview is called. Keep your hopes up, I am sure you will be with your wife soon :)
