Below are the contents of email sent by AVO ;
I am 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) (a) 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 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.

Based on the evidence that you provided I am 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. The information submitted is the
same information used to determine your DR application. With no new
information there is nothing of value to determine an ongoing bona fide
relationship exists. As a result, for the purpose of the regulations, you may not be
considered to be a member of the family class.
You have 30 days from the date of this letter to submit additional information to
me. Please ensure that you quote the application number indicated at the top of this
letter on any information you submit.
And further, I am concerned that you have tried to circumvent the Federal Court of
Canada’s Appeal decision to NOT re-determine the DR decision, which may be
considered an abuse of process.
As stated above, you must provide any additional information within thirty days
from the date of this letter. If you choose not to respond with additional
information an officer will make a decision based on the information presented,
which may result in the refusal of your application.
Please note that submission in person will not be accepted.
Thank you for the interest you have shown in Canada.
Sincerely,
Immigration Section
