Souljah2dcore,
A bank will not disclose the balance on a customer's account to a 3rd party (AVO in this case) without the express written consent of the account holder - banks owe their customers that confidentiality. The bank will only verify the validity/authenticity of the documents the applicant submitted as at the date requested/submitted. However I believe that when AVO is not convinced of your POF, they can ask you to send in statement again (which they expect to be current or as at date) ... or they can ask for additional proof that you have the funds. This is their way of checking that the funds are still available and unencumbered. So if you generate up-to-date statement again or send in up-to-date fixed deposit certificate, you will convince AVO.

Another thing is the implicit language the bank may use that may make AVO ask you for additional proof of funds. For instance you issue a cheque when your account is not sufficiently funded to pay that cheque, the bank will never tell the payee that your account is not funded - a remark such as "Drawers Attention Required" may suggest same .. even though it may also mean that they need additional confirmation or endorsement from the drawer.

So when the bank replies to AVO saying that they are confirming that the statement is valid/authentic and also add "We are unable to comment further on the balance in the account" .. it may be interpreted that the funds are no longer there where it may also mean "we cannot tell you our customers account balance".

Cut long story short, use whatever might you have to ensure your funds are sitting pretty in your bank! To avoid any issue...this is Naija! You be soldier to the core naw :)
:D :p

Nice one Toronto_Raptor.

soldier to the core no near this one o! This wan na CANADA things and guys need to be careful every step.

Thanks all the same.

God's favour for us all

Dear XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
YOUR IMMIGRANT VISA(S) APPEAR(S) READY TO BE ISSUED, IF THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE IN YOUR FAMILY CONFIGURATION. IF THERE HAVE BEEN ANY CHANGES, PLEASE CONTACT OUR OFFICE BEFORE PROCEEDING.
PASSPORT(S)

You are asked to submit your passport(s) and documentation BY COURIER within 15 days. We recommend DHL courier, using a pre-paid return envelope.

OR

You may also use the services of VFS Global Ghana by following the instructions on their website at: http://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/ghana/ under the “Passport Transmission Services” section.

Applicants residing in Nigeria (PASSPORT SUBMISSION ONLY)

You may use the services of VFS Global Nigeria by following the instructions on their website at:
http://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/Nigeria/ under the “Passport Transmission Services” section. If you received a letter requesting additional documents, please use a courier service.

Please note that submission of passport(s) in person will not be accepted at the Canadian High Commission.

Important: Please note that we will not respond to queries in this regard: we ask for your patience while we prepare your documents.

The visa(s) will be valid until the expiry of your medical results (13th November, 2015) or until the expiry of your passports, whichever is earliest.

As the validity of your visa(s) has been already established and is limited to a fixed date, it CANNOT be extended under any circumstances. We therefore urge you to read and follow carefully the instructions below without delay:


PLEASE NOTE: Failure to provide the required travel document(s) within 15 days from the date of this letter will lead us to conclude that you are no longer interested in immigrating to Canada and your application will be refused based on the information that is available in your file. Once the application is refused, you would be able to reapply, but you would be required to submit a new application and pay a new processing fee. The new application would be assessed according to the Canadian Immigration legislations in force at the time that the new application was filed.

Please note that we will strive to meet the foregoing service standards. There may, however, be occasions when we cannot issue your visas within these standards. Accordingly, you are advised not to commit to any travel plans, purchase tickets, or take any irrevocable action such as selling property, or resign employment until you have received your immigrant visas.
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTATION WILL BE REQUIRED TO ISSUE YOUR VISA:
☐ Updated family information: you must advise us of any change in your marital status or family composition. All family members must be listed on your IMM8 application form. Failure to comply may result in a delay in the issuance of your visa.
☐ PASSPORTS. Check that:
There is an individual passport for each family member accompanying you to Canada. Children must have their own passports.
Each passport is valid for at least 6 months from the time you come for the visa.
Each passport has sufficient free pages (two required for our visa, plus pages for any transit visa)
☐ TWO (2) PHOTOS FOR EACH FAMILY MEMBER These photographs must be taken with a WHITE BACKGROUND, not be stapled, glued or pinned (you can paperclip or attach them using an envelope). The photographs must be unblemished as they will be used to produce your Permanent Resident Card once you are in Canada. Photograph specifications are included with this letter.
PLEASE INCLUDE A COPY OF THIS LETTER IN YOUR ENVELOPE.
Thank you for the interest you have shown in Canada.
Regards,


Immigration Section - KAS







Photograph Specifications


The two photos must:
have a 35 mm x 45 mm (1 3/8 x 1 3/4″) finished size;
measure between 25 mm and 30 mm (1” and 1 1/5”) from chin to crown (top of head);
have been taken within the last 12 months to ensure an up-to-date likeness;
have the date the photo was taken written directly on the back of one of the photo;
be clear and well defined;
be taken against a plain light background without shadows; and
present a front view of the person's head, showing the full face in the middle of the photo



Note that photos may be either black and white or colour. Religious head coverings may be worn, as long as the full facial features are visible. Non-tinted or tinted prescription glasses may be worn as long as the eyes are clearly visible and not hidden by glare on the lens. Sunglasses are not acceptable. The face must be square to the camera with a neutral expression and with the mouth closed.

Seems yesterday was mostly for RK visa officer applicants as most updates yesterday came from the RK officer.
I have a strong believe that AB visa officer applicants that are expectant will get tons of positive news today.
My officer is AB and even though I only got my 2nd line of medical received yesterday showing,precisely at 10.46 am (09:46GMT...Ghanian time),I got my passport request mail.
Yes its official....the mail came in at the stated time.
I pray for other expectant applicants (with emphasis on 2013 MR expectant applicants) and 2014 applicants also to get their desired response from Accra Visa office soonest.
One solid advice to MR expectant applicants,the earlier you do your medicals,the better.
Mine was delayed because I did my medicals in the last week of my validity period.
Thanks for all the support once again and I pray for better news for every one reading this.
Cheers.
Congrats biggest bro... We tap into this anointing...
