Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[ItzMimi]

You're welcome, but just a point about the PR. Your husband needs to show that he has intentions to return to Canada for the PR to succeed.

Just keep in that mind.

I will.
He is applying for schools already but wishes that we settle in first before he goes for his school. Guess that will prove as intention to return to Canada

Having a terrible cold feet. Advice needed from those who have already settled in Canada... To cut my long story short. My husband is canadian and based here in Nigeria, we ve a son who has also gotten his canadian citizenship and pp here due to the fact that his father is canadian... Now my husband wants us (my son and I) to relocate to Canada for now without him. While he will still be working in Nigeria to support us then join us later... Please, here are a few questions I will like to ask, 1, what is life like in Canada. 2, I have read that its tough getting a proper job. I won't have a problem with starting off with menial jobs, but how do one survive with the little money one gets paid from menial jobs, especially with the fact that canada isn't very cheap to leave in. 3, where are the best Cities/Suburbs to settle. 4, what are the price range of a good 2bed accomodation in a suburb?. 5, what are the prices of creches?. 6, how do you guys survive in the hatch winter?... Please help me with answers so I can make up my mind as to what to do... I need to take that bold step but I'm so scared... Congrats to all those who have successfully gotten their visas, especially Ghanaboy. I followed your story from day one, and was very excited when everything turned out well for u. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Moh, had it covered. In addition, I will suggest you visit Canada first and see for yourself. Personal experience has the greatest effect.
Be rest assured that, like most new things in life, the beginning will not be easy, but you will be just fine afterwards.
All the best.

Mine was transferred end of October. I see you applied Oct 3 and transfer was mid December. I think you're about 1 or 1.5 months away. Keep praying and stay positive

Hey everyone,

I am new here. Still filling my forms though ;D. I have been going through this thread and I can see that you guys have done a great job here. Please keep it up.

Please I need some help in filling form IMM5490E. Question 15.

It says specify the rite/religion in which the marriage was performed.

My husband and I had traditional ceremony and court wedding. Which rites/religion should these be? We are both Christians.

Also we don't know exactly how many people attended our traditional wedding. They were over 200, but I cant tell the exact number. Should I just estimate?

Finally, in QUESTION 15 part B, when asked questions about my sponsor, should I personalize the reply to "my husband" or I should reply "my sponsor"

For example,


Indicate if your sponsor and your sponsor's family members/relatives attended the ceremony.


Should I reply:
a. My sponsor and his family members/relatives attended the ceremony.

OR

b. My husband and his family members/relatives attended the ceremony.

OR

c. John and his family members/relatives attended the ceremony.


Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

I would just say for example that you followed the catholic tradition or whatever the case may be.

For the number of people at the wedding, estimate is more than enough, but make sure you include pics of you and both families and your husband and it wouldn't hurt to label them and write on the back who is in the pic etc.

For the last question, I would say My Husband blah blah blah. This is how I filled up the application.

All the best.
