Congrats to everyone that received passport request. Has anyone received their passport back ? or has the status on the cic website changed for anyone that summited their passport? I haven't received any email from cic since we summited our passport and the information on the website hasn't changed.

My dear we are in similar situation. My spouse and baby's passports was received on 31st of Aug. at AVO and no pick up yet. I tried reaching out to AVO and was told that the application has been referred for additional reviews in other to complete it (wondering what hat means) nothing changed on myCIC until today. Background Checks moved to in progress today. So I'm hoping they release them soon.

Thank you my dear. Get ready you are next this week or early next week

Amen i pray so

Good news!!!!! God has done it for my family too oo! So I'm at work and I am seeing constant messages from my hubby. He tells me it's urgent so I should call him. And to check my email before I call him. I check and there is 3 emails from AVO. One is telling us his visa is ready and to send the passport in 15 days. The second one is a recall message of the first email ( my stomach jumps and I am starting to feel sad) then the third one, full of light, again, for him to send his passport off visa issuance but this time within 7days. You should see me at my desk. I am so excited, I can't contain it....

Wow.. This is God, Congrats dear

The purpose of this interview will be to determine your eligibility for admission to Canada.

Unless you have been specifically instructed otherwise by the officer, all of your accompanying family members over the age of 16 should be present for the interview as well. If any are absent, processing of your application may be delayed.

Please bring the following original documents with you to the interview:



Ø Your marriage certificate.

Please note that interviews scheduled in Accra will be conducted in English or French, the official language of your choice. If you require an interpreter in any other language or dialect, it is your responsibility to make the necessary arrangements for an interpreter, including payment for his/her services. If you arrive at interview and the officer is unable to conduct the interview due to your inability in English or French or the absence of an interpreter, the interview will not take place. Your application may then be assessed based on the information on file, and this may result in an unfavourable decision.

If your sponsor has not already done so they may wish to consider paying the Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) at the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga at this time. Please note that if no visa is issued to you, this fee is fully refundable.

Don't worry about. just gather,gather and gather. Overwhelm them with relevant documents proving your relationship and PPR is around the corner. Focus on new evidence and pick the most relevant from the previous evidence you submitted. My advice will be for you to arrange everything properly, group photos together and label them, if you collect notarized letters from relatives and friends or screenshots of well wishes from them on social media, group them together, chats and phone calls labeled as communication etc. just make it easy for the interviewer to go through. Look for the thread that has interview questions and go through them while referencing your former submitted documents. just make sure everything checks out and be confident. Good luck!

By the way, did you submit all these documents with your application and have you sent any additional documents since then?

 

[ooao]

Hi @ooao, my status changed to DM then pick up mail dropped after about 40 mins but it's not the same for everyone. Some don't get to see anything and it doesn't mean something is wrong. Just relax ur mind. How long has it been?

I havent received my passport yet but DHL tracking shows it will get to me tomorrow hopefully. Did u include a prepaid return envelope while sending ur passport? DHL Nigeria doesn't do prepaid return envelope so I went and paid for them to pick it up after I got pick up mail.

its been a month plus now.. ours is coming back to Canada,since my husband was visiting Canada when they requested his passport.
