It was clearly stated that PAs declare occupation to be business in Marriage cert and and home builder on application...The point is it was captured.In my case i didnt know until like 1year after i submitted application.The authenticity of my employment was verified immediately.
Do the needful now that u know so as to save u the time and stress.You can see am still waiting for MR after 27 months
I will go for a court wedding but hope it won't be questioned that I put 2014 but my marriage certificate is reading 2017 after ITA. The registry said I can get a notarized letter from them explaining. Hope these steps will be ok?

Not sure about the occupations you mentioned but the Catholic marriage certificate with the Nigerian coat of arms is valid. If you compare it with what the court gives you will see it is the same. You need to be careful here: church marriage in 2014 and court marriage in 2017. Which of these dates will now be your marriage date?

Trying to see if I can answer the question of what is captured as your occupations:

I had student on my own Catholic marriage certificate but when I filled the Canadian forms; I put in my current occupation. I had letters of reference from my company to corroborate this. Also there is a personal history form where you are to state where you have lived and what you have been doing since you turned 18 years. These parts of the forms should capture the changes for you and your spouse. Its always good to make sure your information is consistent to avoid any unnecessary scrutiny and delays.

Having said that; I am an FSW 2014 applicant and not conversant with the EE application forms though I would think the forms should be same.

Hope this clarifies.

Thanks but I will put the court certificate, on the profile it's common law partner or married , either of them gives same points and written together in the options of marital status. We just get letter from church stating we married 2014 and was legalized in 2017.

The court said embassies don't accept the church type again, d new type has a seal and color is white unlike mine is brown and no seal. For common law partner I just have to proof that we have been living togrther for a year or more and I can proof that

Good Morning people! I am very new here and my case is different.
First Issue- I came into the US since September and I have been postponing my return to naija. My 6 months here will end in March. God came through for me and I got invited to apply February 8. I have 90 percent of all that is required. I just need to do my medicals which is on Wednesday here in the US. I was able to contact IRCC through my friend in Canada, and they said it is okay to make an application from where I am, after all its an online application; What we failed to know is, if and when I get a COPR, if I can send it from here? I am a bit confused on where they send passports to.

Second issue- My parents are the ones giving me money for proof of funds. How do I show this without it showing that I am not just putting a huge sum in my account? I heard something about a gift deed?

Third- On the online application, It says list countries you are a Citizen of- I put Nigeria; then it went on to say country of residence- what will be my country of residence? It says I must be Legal there. Does this mean my country which I am a citizen of? or the country I am currently living in? but I am a visitor and I plan to leave here before my stay expires. I am a bit confused.

Thank you!

First of all, If you get your COPR, mail it to Accra, Ghana which is suppose to be your processing office.
Second, You can get a fixed deposit certificate as proof of fund
Third, Nigeria is your country of residence.

My younger brother did his entire application process from here in canada. So you should be good.

Hope this helps.

Thank you! so it is okay to just ask the bank to open a fixed deposit? wont they ask where that money came from? Or just the certificate they issue is fine? I have gone ahead to ask them to do that. I just want to make sure I am not missing anything.

Thats where the gift deed comes in, you get your parents to sign a gift deed saying they are giving you the money to settle in canada. It will help to accompany this gift deed with your parents bank statement to show they can afford giving you this sum and its not borrowed funds.

Hello House,

I'm relatively new here as well. I submitted my eAPR on9th February, 2017. So far, I have gotten no updates except for 2 ghost emails. Is this normal?

Second is there anyone who has landed in Airdrie, Alberta? I intend to land there but have a few questions regarding housing and elementary education there. Is it possible to make lease arrangements while still in Nigeria?
