Hi Loolo,
My wife and kids applied for American visa. Our Nikkah certificate was used in the application and there were no issues.

Thank you for being committed to this forum and helping those of us coming behind. I just applied and my application is in process, hoping to land in 2014 but I have some questions to ask our seniors. Am planning to travel down with my mother so as to assist me with our son while we preoccupy ourselves with getting settled down and she may later come back with him till we're settled in. The issue is she was not includeded as an accompanying family member but I don't think she will have any problem getting the visa as she travels a lot though its been a while that she went to Canada. What do you think or alternatively, can we fill another form to include her in the application? If so, how do we go about that?
Pls I'l llike many people as much as possible to advice including females
Thanks
 
Great minds,
I just wanna wish us all a very blessed week, rolled with plenty positive updates IJMN! :-*
 
Ty.... You cannot add your mother as a "dependant"... You can only invite/file for her when you arrive canada asa PR

Like omo naija said u can't add your mother as a dependant to your application.
Your option is for your mother to apply for tourist visa,she might get a mulitple entry since you said she s been to canada before but the application for tourist visa must be well calculated so that the visa will still be valid by the time you are landing....
After you have landed ,you can then apply for a supeR visa for your mum
 
To apply for Super visa... the sponsor is required to provide a tax assesment as a mandatory requirement amongst other documents.... that implies that you must have been working in canada for atleast a year and filed your tax assesment before you can invite your mum on a Super visa.

Tourist Visa is your best bet for now.

Am expecting me and my spouse's PR any moment from now, but am not planning traveling with her, reason been that the person to accommodate me said he can only accommodate one of us, so the decision is that i go first and settle down ,few months after then she we come and join me, or am i going to travel back to nigeria and pick her before she come down to canada, i really dont know if that will be possible which canadian PR. Anybody Got this experience

She can travel on her own to join you, I assume you are the principal applicant. The principal applicant can land first, and all dependants can join follow, no wahala!

Thank you so much, omonaija and emmy_est for your responses. I think I will start making enquiries for the tourist visa and the supervisa, to get more informed. But I want to know, why can't I add her as a dependant?

Hello everyone, trust God for more positive updates.
@ Omo Naija, the sponsor DO NOT necessarily have to be in Canada for at least a year. One of the required document as you mentioned, is ANY ONE (or a combination)of category (2) below

REQUIRED DOCUMENTS FOR PARENT AND GRAND PARENTS SUPER VISAS:
1. A letter of invite from the sponsor (child or grand child)

2. ONE of the following documents to prove that your child or granchild meets the Low Income Cut-Off(LICO) minimum:
a. Most recent copy of Notice of Assessment (T451 tax form for yearly returns you mentioned)
b. Most recent copy of T4 or T1 (These are tax forms; T4 shows an employee's wages and payroll deductions for the year while T1 is income tax and benefits return)
c. Letter from employer stating title, job description and salary
d. Employment insurance benefit stub
e. If self-employed, letter from accountant confirming annual income.
f. Proof of other source of income (e.g pension statement, investment etc)

3. Proof of parental relationship to your child or grandchild (birth certificate, baptismal cert, or any otger official document that name you as parent or grandparent)

4. Proof of Medical Insurance coverage for one year with a Canadian Insurance Company (Min coverage of $100, 000).

In the case of our sister TY, go the temporary resident visa route as adviced. When you land in Canada and start working, your and hubby's income can then be used to meet the LICO (Please visit the immigration website for the link to LICO requirement, as I am unable to post here cos of the note book I used)
Please note that the LICO requirement must cover your family size (you, hubby, children and parents we're inviting)
Cheers

ANigerian in on point, but note that wify MUST perform her landing before the expiration of the entry visa ( what you will get is a single entry immigrant visa), otherwise wahala start oooo. Meanwhile, since your visa is not yet issued, If in your shoes, I'll start planning for the landing process, like get inform for accommodation etc. Members here have helped one another to sort out that even before landing. I think you should consider your options well. Proper planning and guidance from landed seniors can help greatly so you can land with your family and start your new life in Canada together. Just a honest opinion though.
