Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[dtny]

You need the registry wedding in Nigeria for it to be considered a legal marriage for Canada.
Here is the website which lists the marriage registries:
https://ecitibiz.interior.gov.ng/marriage/registries
Look up the different options there and spend time learning about how it works and what the cost is, etc. There is a lot of information online.

Thank you very much. I'll go through this

As first step check the laws in Nigeria. From my quick check marriages mist he registered with the civil authorities in Nigeria. How is this done? Well, check Nigerian sources.

But I don't think a purely religious marriage without the license and registration would be considered valid in Nigeria.

Thank you

Yes true like @armoured said. Once it's legally valid within the country it should be okay.

From my knowledge, most of these religious institutions organising the wedding do have registrant affiliations and links whereby personnels from the registry offices or court attend the religious events to provide the certificate. I think you could also confirm from your religious institution about the certificate. I don't think the religious body can initiate or provide a certificate which won't be legally valid or recognised. You would be fine I think but please do consent the religious body and worse case scenario consent the registry body and they could attend your religious wedding to witness and get that certificate.

Good luck to you and congrats in advance.

I'll as my institution. Thank you.

if he stays in Abuja he should visit
Sterling Bank Plaza, 3rd Floor, Plot 1083 Mohammadu Buhari Way,Central Business District.
If he stays in Lagos he should visit Plot 110, Admiral Ayinla Way,Opposite Treasure Garden Estate,Third Roundabout, Lekki Phase I.
But I’ll suggest he visits where he submitted his passport

Congratulations to everyone getting good news!
I'm hoping someone in this thread can help, we were asked for a police certificate from Benin republic, they listed the status as single saying that the time lived there (schooling) the status was single. However now married and worried if this will cause concerns with the Visa Officer in Ghana. Does anyone has experienced this?

I doubt ircc would think a PCC should state marriage status in a different country.
