Just to add to what just put out here. I got a letter on 6th june to bring additional documents. By july 1 all documents had been submitted. It took me almost 4months to get another letter this time asking for dna test. I am told dna also takes additional 3 or 4 months. It is over a month now i was asked to go for the dna. I just paid the lab on last monday from Laval QC. An amount of $875cdn. No appointment date for sample collection. So i am expecting my application to travel to 2yrs. I applied in 2016 july 21. So dont expect response so soon although every case is different.
During my permanent residence application, I was given 30days to submit additional documents, and they got back to me by the 15th day thereabout. By the end of the supposed 30days, I had my visa ready.
Thank you. The last document I need to submit is the Texas state police clearNCE. I was hoping they would be done with it today and AVO would get it by Monday but I called in today and they said they were closing early by 12 noon and wont be back till Monday (American thanksgiving weekend). I am just hoping AVO would be kind enough to send PPR before the 30 days is up since I have already sent them my FBI report. Thanks a lot, its encouraging to know they can attempt to reply before the time is up.
Your very lucky for you to have received ppr on the 7th nov and pick up mail came on the 22nd nov. I also got ppr on the 7th but had to correct mistake on my Schedule A form and they requested for police clearance today.
@Kuako, I don't think you need to do anything it takes between 3 to 5 weeks to get your passport back and you are only 12 days into the waiting game so relax while waiting and also remember those waiting for passport request in your prayers.
Thanks for your response , i never knew the duration of time it takes to get my Passport back from VOA.
Yes, you'll take your pick up mail and an authorization letter to them and they'll arrange for their branch in Accra to pick up your passport.
