Good day all, my visa will be expiring on the 7th of December. Sent in my passport on the 21st of November and up till now Accra hasn't sent me pick up mail. Any need to worry?
Keep messaging them and giving them the details upfront, no long stories so someone doesn't toss your email aside. You are already on a slippery slope and if you are in Nigeria you need to factor in the time for DHL to pick and return your passport which AVO wouldn't take any blame for. You might also want to book your ticket now (preferably one that leaves at night in case your passport is due to come in that day) and pay for coverage to cancel it for a full refund. You don't want to get your passport and because the time frame is narrow you have to pay an outrageous amount for the ticket.

My dear I did send them a message on Saturday morning, no reply as usual just the auto response. If I didn't hear anything by 12 pm today I 'll surely send another and another one by 6 pm. I booked my ticket already and I 'll be flying from lagos, though I stay at port harcourt. Is frustrating how AVO sees the time frame requires to make the trip and still keep hold of the passport like everything is okay. I tire o.

They don't work on Saturdays so they'll see the email today hopefully. You may just get PUM today, they must have placed you on some sort of priority queue.

You have to, you might think 20th is still far and if by 10th they haven't sent you pum, you start fretting. Better you start it now.

I believe you only do that when there is a change in family configuration or when specifically asked by them..

AVO can be very stressful to deal with that why I decided to accept their offer for my wife to leave in less than 3 weeks. Even now that she has done a new medical they called her this morning asking for her medical which she told them she has done it already. Then they were asking for the right of the permanent residence fee which I have already paid and sent them the receipt then I send them the receipt again after we had the call.

Its like they do not ever review the initial submission of application from CIC mississauga. They always ask for things they already have and starting to seem incompetent. I can see the frustration its almost over :)

Indeed they can be. After sending them email this morning, got a call from them almost immediately. Asking if I already booked a flight and I said yes and she asked what day, I told her. She said she will get back to me later and I'm still waiting for pum till now. Really frustrating indeed.

Seems like they haven't issued the visa yet. Hopefully they conclude it today.
