Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[boatswife]

Josh, to my understanding they sometimes check things like the schools you attended, they may call your workplace to see if you worked there etc... I know of one case where they went to the persons home to see if they really resided there, but who knows, I think its a cic secret lol...

Does anyone here have an idea about how the background check and eligibility is done at AVO.Which aspect or areas are mostly checked? I know none of us works at AVO but I need your guess.Thank you

eligibility is checked by the proof you provided to them about ur relationship with ur partner... as for the background check ....which area is mostly checked..everything. .where u traveled...how long u stayed there for...if u had a visa did u over stay the time alloted to u..have u had any dealings with the law?your school if u graduated are your credentials true? at times they call the school to ensure u attended or a graduate as u have claimed. they check ur family and if they ever been involved in criminal behaviour.. they call ur government to accumulate any information they deem is relevant for them to know about u. if you been married before if u have children out of wedlock. IRCC is a federal government dealing with ur file and therefore have ties with other federal institutions worldwide to ensure the information u provided is acceptable and true. of course I don't know the specifics as there cud be more but that is the jisft of it. essentially it comes down to...are u a threat to Canadian society and is ur relationship genuine.

Good day guys,

Please i need your assistance.

I just discovered that i misinterpreted a question asked in one of the immigration forms and i want to clarify now.

Please how do i send this updated form to AVO?
DHL or upload in my ECAS?
Who do i address the document to?

Thank you soo much ,expecting ur responses.

If i were you... i would do all those things u listed and send a case specific inquiry to the Accra Web form asking if they recieved the updated information. All the best

hello beautiful people.

So I was just on my cic n noticed something.

If it says "Your application is in progress. The next step is to conduct a background check."

Does that mean the interview has been waived?

ok to assist you with my advise since i have gone there to also fill some paper work for my Canadian daughter,i suggest you get every correspondents as a member advised you and give to your wife to take it to the high commission and she will be asked to talk to a front desk and with your correspondent,if the documents you requesting is available,it will be given to your wife right away.

If i may ask you,in your notes,how long did it take after your file was transferred to the Accra office before you saw recommended pass or pass.i ask because from my first notes i ordered,it said it wasn't started and on ecas,it showed in progress.After i ordered my second notes,i was expecting to see a remark from the visa officer each recommended pass,but it only said Not started.Does it mean,the file wasn't updated before it was generated?i am in my 10 months now and no word from the visa office.

@Jay9132, I haven't ordered my note yet for this new application cos it's only 2 months older. I was referring to my first application after I was told to reapply due to some document mess. In that note which I still have 4 months after the file was transfer the eligibility was recommended pass by the officer in Canada and the officer in Accra wrote the marriage is genuine. But you this office does what ever they like now a days and I pray that your next note would have more details. Me I am waiting for at least 4 months before requesting the first note.

 

[jay9132]

ok thank you for your response and i agree with you about the office doing what ever they want.if i may ask,is the recommended pass the same as Not started which was updated by the officer in canada?when i got my notes,it only said not started in eligibility.i have not heard a word from them since application filed and its my 10month now

 

[waitingInTO]

WaitingInTO yay we both from Ontario. all the best in your application

Colmiz what does it say next to your Interview in my cic? Mine says "You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes." even though the background check says, "Your application is in progress. The next step is to conduct a background check."

Honestly, I think you are fine because if there was any concern about the eligibility they would have called you for interview before the 10 months period. Not started doesn't mean your file has not been worked on since some officers don't enter the input in the note until the file is ready for final decision. So relaxed and I can see your passport request coming soon believe me.

@WaitingInTo, mine says the same thing "you do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes. "

Just so everyone is prepared..up until this week..our online status said no interview needed at this time yet we had an interview on Feb 8...its far better to go by your gcms notes...order them every month ..they are far more accurate and sometimes as in our case...cic only gives you a weeks notice they will do an interview...if you are on top of your notes you might see it scheduled in your notes before you get the actual email so you can prepare..my advice is have extra wedding photos and relationship photos on hand...work on a new schedule A...take out your original marrige certificate and be prepared to fedex it at the lat moment...I pray nobody gets interview but in case these are the things they asked my hubby bring with hardly any notice..it was a big scramble to get everything done in a week...so much better to be prepared in case..its only this week my status changed under interview not needed at this time to interview completed..it looks like they dont update as they should so please prepare in case
