I am just seeing it for the first time that relatives documents should not be notarized. It is a good thing that i have not forwarded it down to the VO yet. I will make amends ASAP. Thanks guys i really appreciate it. So is it okay if i send only copies of my relative's document?

Hey, praise the Lord, you better dont include it, please. Send only photocopy.

I do not see anything wrong with the notarization, it is only to show that it is a true copy, it does not affect the document. They are free to do back ground check because the information is not cooked up. Even if i go to to Benin Republic to Notarize. You guys are just making a mountain out of a mole hill. Even if you do not notarize it does not mean they would not do their back check so guys there is no problem about it.

I am making use of a trusted consultant (COHEN) and he did not complain about it, besides my sister claimed this same brother of mine and got all of my brother's document stamped and was granted hers in a shorter period compared to my brother. Did any one here experience problems with this notorization issue?

Awoderu, as you said, there are no problems associated with the notarization of someone identity without sighting the original and wrongly in possession of it.(paradox) When You landed in canada should you in possesesion of someone identity,you may face identity fraud. All contributions here are just sugestions and advises, we are all talking from experience.Left to you to go by it or what pleases you.

How can a Nigerian court notarized a document without sighting the original,that is why the bone of contention lies with. If your documents pass through baby VO, you will scale through, but if it passess someone like (R.A) OR (R.E) you will know why you should not notarized in Benin republic. Cohen is a lawyer, if you dont make mistakes how can he charge you or how can he draw money out of your pockets. They are not interested in your success but in the money they will get from you. If i may asked you, in what way his services expedite your processing

Ideally notarization should only be done by notary at the sighting of the original document. If that be the case no one should notarize any document (third party) that was sent to him. It will be better if you get the sender to notarize such document at his/her own end. Doing otherwise opens the door of great suspicion on the authenticity of all other documents submitted. Don't forget you only have one chance to impress the VO and that's the first time he opens your documents. Like Baba Selgad and Mama Jada said e ma te small small. Biko 8)

Thanks you guys for your concern you are all interested in every one's success which shall be achieved by the grace of GOD.

I wanted to be absolutely sure so when i inform the consultant about it he does not feel like i am trying to teach him his job. I would make amendments where necessary, it is a good thing i have not sent it yet to the Visa Office. That is why we have this forum to guide each other.
But one thing all lawyers do not have the perspective of extorting money from their clients. Competent ones would always ensure they are successful with no hazzel if not it would dent their image. If COHEN had been extorting money from my friends and my siblings, they would not be able to suggest him to me in the first place.


Thanks once again my brothers and sisters for your concern i really appreciate it, you guys have of great benefit to my application. I will make sure i make the amends ASAP

If COHEN is based in Canada. Then The VO will take it that the notarization was done by a notary in Canada not Nigeria. But in your case it is the reverse. While am concern with the implication in your case. I look beyond you to all other sincere Nigerians who notarize their docs in the same place as yours. In the first place who is the man/woman who did this stuff for you. I simply call him a criminal. However, I am happy that you said it has not been submitted. please withdraw it. as you mention. And please dont be offended with our comments its a way of re-branding ourselves we are not Cheats as we are wrongly assumed to be.

If you engaged lawyers or any representatives for your application,GOOD! they are just your errands, They act like a file boy, who carry file from one office to another. Believe me COHEN has no say in selection decission at CHC, CHC has said this on their webpage that hiring a representatives do not facilitate or expedite and garantee a positive decission,though they can be usefull when your application is turned down and help you to file for a judicial review which he will charge you $2000-5000.They will be happy to receive this amount in addition with what you have paid. Did COHEN advise you to notarize identity that doesnt belong to you, even without showing the court where you did it the original. may be you gave the documents to road side typist,and get things sorted for you.
Yes, COHEN was successfull with your brother and siblings because they didnt mess up with their application. I have read from the other forum hwere they engaged COHEN office yet were refused for one thin to another. Stop blurfing about COHEN. If COHEN is enough for you why are you in here. Though, should you stick to his advise and do the necessary things you will be successful with him like your brother whom i know.Getting your brother's document notarized in Nigeira was a total mess up. The good thing is that you havent submitted it. Glory be to God. Atleast for the sake of the innocent applicants.

E Jami si watin dey happen for 26th?

Just for introductory gathering, to know one another, help, and become a family which will be extended to canada when landed.Most expecially to assist other future applicants or new landed while you and I are IN CANADA.

 

[igbehinadara]

Seglad ,


You are right.We do not want to be like the general naija abroad with an attitude of ''kilo kan mi'' .Let us make a differences just like the indians etc are doing.We want to have a say and contribute our own quota,and this is the only way we can start.

You may begin to gather your police certificates before submitting your application to the CIO. Although you will not submit the police certificate to the CIO, you must be ready to submit them to a visa office if your application is recommended for further assessment at a Canadian visa office. When you submit the application to the visa office please ensure that your certificates were not issued more than three months before you submitted your application to the CIO
The highlighted portion. Do you all consider it safe for one to submit The PCC issued a month after submission to CIO when submitting entire document to the VO six months later. seeing that the PCC is valid for only 3 month. Egbeyi ye wo o o.
