Yes it will be sent to you as an attachment but if you want the hard copy you will be advised to pick up from their office in Abuja personally or by proxy. No fee was charged officially but be ready to give awon boys money for pure water because dem go ask.

So many examples are there to share.You would need this info about drivers license one day, trust me.If only your worries were to be discussed here then the purpose of this forum which is to help everyone will be defeated..so please bear with everyone in the spirit of love..cheers

I think Henry Chuks Ment that right now he is not interested hearing about driving not that he does not want to drive there . You should understand where he is coming from not hearing from AVO could be devasting most especially when you have plans to do and you can't plan ahed cause of them . Am sure he is happy for those who have landed . Am sure he is also learning from the landed seniors and keeping the information for when it will be of use to him .

Dear brother, in all things give thanks. The people discussing licences now we're also discussing about MR some time ago. Life is about individual seasons, tarry in your current season with patience and pray for grace. Your story will end well, amen :)

I am a Canadian citizen but I have noticed that processing times for Nigerians applying from Accra office is taking longer than stipulated and i find it disrespectful when they cannot even acknowledge that the process is taking longer than necessary or even bother to communicate you on what is happening . This is a marked departure when processing visas from other parts of the world . I think its hypocritical to paint every one with the same brush in assuming every body who wants to come to Canada wants to stow away . At the end of the day, you pay the same visa fee like people from other parts of the world and i see no reason why one should go through such humiliations to get a visa . I am in talks with some top politicians and in the light of these , I am going to start a petition at change.com . If we get a critical number, the House of parliament will have no choice but re- consider the matter . I have heard too many tales of people suffering to get a visa to come to Canada. The office was moved to Ghana when Ken Saro Wiwa was murdered by the late Abacha and was meant to be a punishment to the government . We have since moved on from those barbaric days and the irony is when corrupt Government officials want to come to canada, they get their visa easily while the common man suffers.
I have decided to see if you will be willing to sign this petition and then i will get parliamentarians to discuss the issue . If you dont do anything , nothing will change. I will check back to see the response to this and will attach the link for all of you who have suffered the humiliation of getting canadian visa to sign . You have nothing to lose

Thanks

A nice idea but kindly clarify, how many people does the petition require to reach the critical number you talked about? This will enable those interested martial a good number towards the goal.

Raising a petition is not a bad idea and i realy appreciate the effort....but i am of the opinion that we do so presenting an unbiased opinion .Taking a more critical and wholistic look at the processing ,one will notice that even those whose application is being processed at the home office in cabada is complaining of the delay we at accra is also withnessing ,if you check the global thread for fsw applicants ,its the same complain of inactivity that is been reported by all local visa offices @Blacky should be able to corroborate this fact....however it is true that the accra visa office is a bit slow with processing.
l would suggest we jointly put forward a petition like was done with the last set .that saw quite a number of applications been completed, but the petition should'nt be pressumptious and subjective, i think it should be more of an appeal while also stating the untold hardship the delay of processing is subjecting every applicant to.suffice to say that some other visa office is far worse than accra an example is Bangdladesh visa office....they gave almost all the nov /dec applicant a negative decision made status all within a week just for a hunch that was not confirmed accross board....so please do not let us personalise this whole delay to Accra visa office.

Hello house mates.

I am a December 29th Applicant and i only have first and second update .i.e ''Application received'' and ''your application in progress''

I have not heard any thing since then and this wait is killing.

I just want to know if i am not the only one in this situation.

any December 29th applicant with updates should please let us know.

May God let us all rejoice at the end of this long journey.

It will surely end in praises for all of us.

amin.

Mine was December 19, 2014 and all i have heard is "Received" and "In process"; nothing else. Just to let you know you are not the only one in that position. Anyone from December 2014 that has received updates should please let us know, or anyone thinks there is something we need to do should please inform us. However, till we get a response i believe we shouldn't get worked up unnecessarily. My approach has been to put it in the hand of God and relax.
