@Tinuadeadebola and Oga baesindoo,i guess that will depend on what Tinu's NOC is.If your NOC falls within the specified 38 NOC's now then it will take 6 to 12 months or 14months in some instances but if it is outside the 38 NOC list for now,then it should be a little bit longer.So,it all depends on your work experience.Check it out.

Do have a blessed day.

Thanks all for your response.
Its quite comforting that it wont take upto 4 or 5 years to sail through. I dont know much about the NOC but am a Financial accountant with 10 years experience i would reseach later to find out where i belong.
Thanks

HI All
Please can anyone advise this prospective applicant from nigeria on adoption proceduress. i have just concluded adoption process for a cousin who lives with me. she is 13 and i am about completing the application form. would you advise i include her in the application form now or include only my biological children?
Thanks in advance for your response.

Pally,

I assumed that Tinuadeadebola had concluded issues relating NOC before posting her question. Should that not be the case then I have erred. Please do as Anerr777 has advised.

For adoption, I think you need to include the details of the child since she has become your legal responsibility. You will be required to show legal papers showing that you have adopted her.

Not giving her details now would foreclose your ability to sponsor her in the future.

Are new applications being accepted for those outside the "list of 38" , no TFW/ Student(1yr) and who have no AEO under the skilled worker category? Looks like Bill C-50 effectively shut the door against "outsiders" in Nov 2008 with retroactive effect from feb 2008. No applications are being accepted outside of those "3 categories" under the skilled worker class. Its not a case of it taking longer, its a case of non-eligibility. The long processing times only applies to those whose applications had been locked-in prior to Feb 2008.

Tinuadebola may however qualify under noc code 1111 as a financial accountant.

Congrats. The adoption process is so tedious and expensive in Nigeria. A relative balked at the excessive amounts involved and left out a lil girl whom he'd assumed parental responsibilty for, since 2006.

If you have the adoption certificate, and the courts have already confered parental responsibility on you, then you may include your cousin right away. If not, its best to leave her out of the initial application to Sydney CIO. You can then add her as your adopted child later on when you're asked to forward your app to Accra, if you have the legal backing by then. CiC needs to know that there is genuine parent-child relationship both in law and fact, and not just for immigration purposes, obviously because of few child trafficking/labour issues in our part of the world. Pls try to keep all the documentations leading to the final court order, as they might come in handy later on when you're dealing with Accra. Documents predating your FSW application will be most useful. The link below is mainly for adoptions from within canada, but it may also give you a faint idea of the thinking of CiC.

Another thing that you might want to bear in mind is that the birth parents cannot be sponsored by this child in future. Any rights or privileges that birth parents may be entitled to has been voided/barred by the adoption order.
