Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[Sugarcoconut]

Are you sure AVO processes the entire application for express entry? I thought they just did the visa stamping. Also sadly, I doubt any country would truly prioritize family immigration over economic immigration.

My hubby went through FSW and that's where his file was sent and processed. His visa was stamped in UK cos he was living there on student visa then.

Then I agree with ur statement about economic immigration and I kinda understand. My only grouse is them making it seem otherwise

Hopefully, things will start getting better with the new system they implemented this year. My own main issue is why is NDVO so damn fast. It's just not fair. But as you said, what can we do?

Hello People,

My PCC was given to me last month and it states valid for only 3 months. Will this have an effect on my application (either to speed up things or i will be asked to submit another one after expiration)?

Thank you

I really need answer to this question too. Our passport was signed for on the 31st of August. And no word on PUM till date, no update on ecas or myCIC.

The Dhl guy told my spouse, that from his previous encounter with people that come to submit their passport at the dhl office. most come back to pick up their passport after 2-3 weeks.

this is from lola123.....18 days after they received your passport, they should send passport pick up mail (PUM).

So, is it 18 working days? cos ours is 20 days today since AVO received the passport, my colleague on EE program sent his passport on the 10th and received PUM today. His online status on myCIC updated to Approved on Monday. My issue with the whole thing is that nothing changed on myCIC and ecas. It looks just as it was after file was transferred to AVO. Not even the 4th line stating that a correspondence was sent.

 

[umuchima]

same with mine. no update in ecas
let's just be patient with them.
they specifically said that no one should email them, that we should allow them to do their job.

I would kind of thing that they would add more priority to EE, it's an economic class.
Family sponsorship is not. for all they care, your spouse will be in no hurry to get a job and start giving back to the society..

You are right, AVO doesn't process the entire application for express entry anymore, 90percent of Nigerian applicants have their files spread all over Canada and London, AVO only does stamping.
Sadly the truth, economic immigration triumphs over family immigration, the government stands more to gain from them.
The only thing that bothers one with AVO is, what kind of processing they do for 13 months?
Anyways, we are just watching them on 3D, December is almost here, by then we would know if AVO truly kept with the new 12 months processing, at this their snail speed.

 

[umuchima]

lol, Do you know that AVO has only 4 main principal processing officers.
covering 12 countries.
A friend of mine went there, and confirmed this.
This was last year, it was even more discouraging to found out that the lady working on his file was heavily pregnant.
And was going on maternity leave the following month.
he was told that her own job was going to be splitted among the remaining four officers.
I'll just encourage everyone in this forum to keep firing emails to the immigration ministers office.
we did it in March and i think April..we even fired calls...
let everyone keep doing it, until the change is felt.
if a newspaper article or column,can be sponsored preferable one based in Ottawa. it will go a long way.

Of those who submitted their application after December 16, has anyone gone past the stage where they have passed their medicals?
