you guys have waited this long even with all the changes that are being effected to speed up the process...i guess i need to apply for the visiting more than ever then..,waiting and patience is not my strongest virtue :mad::mad:
Yeah unfortunately the accra visa office has not been part of the new commitment. Yes as quickly as the days do go by (hard to believe it's been 9 months) at the same time the days draggggg.

:( darn.

I'm hoping ninche hears something soon as it was over a month since they asked for extra documentation from them.

I emailed my lawyer this week to do a case specific enquiry and check our myCIC. Not that it will show anything. I just needed to feel something was being done ....

You guys are close to ten months. I pray you will hear soon.

ninche said I should tell you guys that he's having hard time to log in. Seems he forgot his password. However, he has not heard anything from AVO.

Hello everyone, I have just lost my cool with this AVO . Why are they treating us like criminals? I don't know why it is taking too long to process our application .Last week we sent our daughter's passport application and the doctor who delivered her was the same person who signed the form to testify knowind her however when this AVO office called they were asking him question like he is a criminal but he kept his cool because of us to answer every stupid question they ask him but he was not happy at all with their behavior towards him. It's very sad and I am really feeling for those waiting from June till September.

Patience all. Every office has its workload. Accra visa Office services all the ECOWAS countries (I think) and there are so many applications from these countries as compared to others say South Africa. Besides other countries have easy documentation whereas ours do not.

They will eventually get to your file. I know how it feels to have your life on hold; you don't know when they will call so you can't make any long term plans.

Let us pray it all ends in praise for everyone.

Especially not being able to make long term plans..it hurts so much having to only be able to watch my son on facetime..and not be able to carry him when he cries...something really needs to give..

Hello Guys a got and email from AVO. They are requesting for an additional documents. The also said that i didint declare my historical identity. Please guys, i dont know what that means. Please i need yout help because i have 30 days to provide the evidence.

Below is the letter from AVO






We are now completing the assessment of your application for a permanent resident visa. It appears that you may not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

Subsection 12(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that a foreign national may be selected as a member of the family class on the basis of their relationship as the spouse, common-law partner, child, parent or other prescribed family member of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.

Section 117(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, 2002 defines who is a member of the family class. A foreign national is a member of the family class if, with respect to a sponsor, the foreign national is

(a) the sponsor’s spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner;


Subsection 4(1) of the regulations, states that, for the purpose of these regulations, no foreign national shall be considered a spouse, a common-law partner or a conjugal partner of a person if the marriage, common-law partnership or conjugal partnership was entered into primarily for the purpose of acquiring any status or privilege under the Act; or is not genuine.

Subsection 16(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that a person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant evidence and documents that the officer reasonably requires.



Based on the evidence that you provided we are not satisfied that your marriage is genuine and/or that the primary reason for the marriage is other than for the purpose of you gaining admission to Canada. As a result, for the purpose of the regulations, you may not be considered to be a member of the family class.


In addition, we have concerns that you have not disclosed your true identity as you have not provided historical evidence in support of your claimed identity.



In order to come to a final determination in your case we will provide you 30 days from the date of this letter to provide additional information to support the genuineness of your marriage and your identity.





You have 30 days from the date of this letter to submit additional information so that we may continue processing your application. Please note this will be the ONLY opportunity we will provide for you to submit additional evidence. Your application will be assessed in 30 days and the final decision will be based on the evidence on file at that time.
