I do feel like I was a little bit at the slower end but can’t say for sure. I hope yours goes quicker.

Approx 5 months between medical and receiving confirmation of PR document (April to September)

No, I submitted my PR application then. I am a PR now, but still waiting on the physical card to arrive in the mail. That can take up to two months after the landing interview.

Probably not - you are likely looking at June 2019 to receive the physical card. I applied in July 2017 and still don’t have my pr card.

You'll find specific threads here that discuss the topic at length. In general, OWP does not authorize for re-entry and it is possible that you may be denied entry for whatever reason at one of those crossings. It's a bit of a gamble for sure. Should you get denied entry your PR application is...

Don't lose sleep over it. Some people including myself never received a DM letter. I'd say you hear something within a month.

Should be possible! Canadian Citizens can sponsor from outside of Canada. You must have an intent to live in Canada once your PR is approved though, which you do. Just a matter of explaining it clearly and honestly.

Just to be clear, have you been married to two wives when you first applied for PR?

I'd put in N/A but even if you left it blank it would be fine.

One approach to consider may be to gain common law status by living together continuously for one year. May not be possible in Canada, but perhaps in Nigeria. I think that would resolve some red flags in a better way than marrying.

I am not at all convinced it is that simple. Get a lawyer.

others may comment but renouncing PR is a pretty big deal. It's not like exchanging a pair of shoes at a store.

Ok I get it now. Look, I am a layperson but IRCC will most likely scrutinize your second application and if they find you committed misrepresentation you will be banned for 5 years from applying. More importantly even, your children may never be able to be sponsored by you, ever, because you did...

This sounds like a case where a good lawyer is essential. Have you adopted the three kids or did you have them all along and failed to declare them in your first application?

Approx 4 months, but you can check current processing times on the IRCC website. They do change from time to time.

I would be interested to learn if there is any specific advice your lawyer is giving you at the moment?

I am very sorry to hear. So the reason is not the signature in itself, but that IRCC thinks that you are not in a genuine relationship.

If it is any consolation, I got my medical done in early April and for some reason IRCC did not receive it. A Vancouver based Officer emailed me about it in late June, asking if I had a chance to do the medical yet. What i am saying is I think they certainly won't reject your application because...

I see no problem with explaining it in your application just as you did here.

For starters, he would have to sign any documents himself. Was this a situation where they interviewed you about your relationship and asked you to point out your husbands signsture out of different signatures?
