I'm hoping ninche hears something soon as it was over a month since they asked for extra documentation from them.
I emailed my lawyer this week to do a case specific enquiry and check our myCIC. Not that it will show anything. I just needed to feel something was being done ....
You guys are close to ten months. I pray you will hear soon.
Hello everyone, I have just lost my cool with this AVO . Why are they treating us like criminals? I don't know why it is taking too long to process our application .Last week we sent our daughter's passport application and the doctor who delivered her was the same person who signed the form to testify knowind her however when this AVO office called they were asking him question like he is a criminal but he kept his cool because of us to answer every stupid question they ask him but he was not happy at all with their behavior towards him. It's very sad and I am really feeling for those waiting from June till September.
Patience all. Every office has its workload. Accra visa Office services all the ECOWAS countries (I think) and there are so many applications from these countries as compared to others say South Africa. Besides other countries have easy documentation whereas ours do not.
They will eventually get to your file. I know how it feels to have your life on hold; you don't know when they will call so you can't make any long term plans.
hello guys been a member of group for a whlie but hardly gets to post. Am a Caribbean-Canadian sponsoring my Nigerian husband,we are August 2016 Applicants and yet to hear from AVO,Sunday was our Anniversay and we are still apart am honestly thinking that immigration is turning their backs on Africans ...it took them almost 2 months to asses me as a sponsor had i not gone to an Mp office i probably would be still waiting for SA, recently ask to have an update on my file and they are telling me its in que for initial review;at the speed of this visa office i am honestly finding it hard to believe they are gonna get things done in 12months as promised i have also sent am email to the ministers office i honestly hope that helps........congratulations to everyone who have had pprs and visas.........may Jehovah grace be with us all ....Amen

We are 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) 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
(a) 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.
Subsection 16(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that a person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant evidence and documents that the officer reasonably requires.

We plan on doing that but many said that - they probably won't give it to him coz they might think he won't want to leave once his visa is done and also they know his applying for PR
