Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[Lagos babe]

you mean they really visit our facebook page?

Of course, they do. Facebook, linked in, and every social media account you have.
This and other stuffs go on during background check, it is under family sponsorship, but you are coming in as a PR, so they do all necessary checks plus extra, done under Expressentry.

Still waiting, I believe ppr is on the way Congrats @Kwamtin and all who have recieved good news this week!

They asked me to clarify some information on my schedule A and also asked me questions about my Facebook account. So I will advice fellow forum members to be careful on how they play around on Facebook. And the last question was when I last saw my wife.
It was pretty a short conversation like 10mins call.

can we have the number they used to call u and if we may know the exact question they asked u regarding Facebook since we’re all in the same boat so I can prepare Incase they call me on Monday

It's the official number on their website, you can't connect to any officer through that number. I even missed the call at first and I tried to call them back but it was an automated answer, but thank God they called back.
And regarding my Facebook account, she was asking me if I've travelled to the US before and I said no. So I asked why she asked me that, and she said based on what she has seen on my checked in places on Facebook and someone commented that did I just returned from the US. So I told her I've never ever been to the US but she can contact the US embassy to confirm if she doubt it. Then she said no she just wanted to know because of what she saw on my page.
So I think you guys should be very careful with places you check in on social media esp facebook. It can ruin your application. Thank you

I am glad this topic pops up here and believe me everyone needs to be careful about posting on face book or at least make sure everything you post matches your application. During our application my wife was posting some picture and a lot of information so I stop her from doing so cos I know they can use that information during a background check.

Hello house I'm the most favored person here, I just received PPR this morning.
So here's the breakdown :
I had a call from AVO on Monday and it was like an interview, on Tuesday I received an email for invitation to pre arrival services. Then today being Friday I had PPR. They also requested for additional forms like updated schedule A and additional family information form.
I give all the glory to God for the answered prayers. I'm February applicant. I can't wait for it to be over so I can be with my wife.
And I also know pray for all other applicants waiting to hear from AVO to keep praying, God will answer each and everyone of you. Thank you

Congratulations Kwamtim...... I rejoice with you. Congratulations once again

Thank you. I am very much ready to start crossing people off the list as they hear from AVO! We seem to have a big break with May applicants. Did a lot of May applicants hear already?

 

[bbccanada]

Thank you. My application wasn't received on February 14th 2017.
I had a procedural fairness letter on December 14th

@Kwamtin, I really remember your procedural fairness letter on December and I am glad that all the suggestion everyone was writing worked out at the end of the tunnel. I actually went back reading some comment wrote about that letter. I am happy to see you happy from that stressful moment last December hence I wish you the very best with your spouse. And my advice for anyone who got a procedural fairness letter is don't panic just relax and send them everything you have got. By God's grace if Kwamtin has done it yes you can ameen!

 

[RoamingSpirit]

For those who received the letter requesting more information, looking back, what do you think may have been missing in your initial applications, and what type of additional proof were you able to provide?

You're right @bbccanada . It was a very stressful and difficult moment for me at that time and I must say I thank each and everyone of you for you're suggestions and advice. The truth is that you have to be truthful throughout your immigration process, if you have questions that need clarity don't hesitate to contact them. They are ever ready to assist you in anyway, you just have to be truthful to them. The slightest lie you make will ruin the entire application.
And also I believe each and everyone of you knows more about your application more than anyone else. People on the forum will give you their advice but it's up to you to be truthful to immigration no matter what advice people will give you. Immigration is not about being smart or someone knowing a lot about immigration process, rather it's all about being truthful. I hope my advice will help someone here.
I pray that God grants everyone here the approval in order to be with their loved ones and family. Thank you.

Immigration will send you procedural fairness letter when an officer have doubt about your marriage. You must send all evidence you can lay your hands on, prove to them that your marriage is genuine and you're good to go.
And also when you lie about certain questions on the schedule A. You must be truthful about questions on schedule A because they will do all the background checks to find out it's true.
That's my experience though, but when you receive a procedural fairness letter, don't panic. You just have to gather more evidence and keep praying and leave the rest to God.

Congratulations to everyone getting PPR and for those still waiting, yours are on the way. Channel your energy into preparing for life here in terms of what you would like to do after you arrive. Think sending your university transcripts to WES or ICAS for degree equivalency, gettting a valid drivers license from Nigeria, research schools and courses close to your spouse if you want to take that path, if you’re a licensed professional you may want to start reading up how to get a license in that field if you want to do the same work in Canada.
Right now, due to the pressure of the wait we tend to forget what happens afterwards which is understandable. Things move really quickly here and time is expensive so getting prepared with most of the information you need will help you settle in faster. If you’re a pharmacist and looking for further information on the options in Canada, you can PM me.
