Abeke said:
Yes oo, ours is expected to be faster. 1. Because the backlogs have reduced now compared to pre 2012 era. 2. The Minister promised that ours was supposed to take 1yr or less. Even though, AVO is a bit slower than other VOs we believe in the next couple of months there will be positive update.

No. I don't think anyone does or has received positive update from AVO till now either on this forum or outside. Neither does anyone know the workings of AVO. Any deductions now will be mere speculations unless someone has confidential or insider information which is very, very rare and difficult to come by.

But one thing is for sure, we are getting closer to the good-news day as the days go by. This is sooner rather than later. lets continue to keep hope alive and remain prayerful.


Kit001 Boss. Am seriously Hopfull that AVO contact us soon but from the previous process (2011 applicants) it takes like 24 months Btw PER and MR is ours(2013) expected to be faster?
I don't wont to think of that. its scary. I pray it doesn't.

I found this post on the other Nigerian thread. Its interesting as well as unfortunate. I pray no such befall our Canadian dreams and wish the writer all the best this time around.


"I am kemi.I applied for the federal skilled
worker last year and was sent a
confirmation mail and UCI number last year
march. We were three in my family when I
applied but there was an addition to my
family and I sent them all required
documents. Today I was sent the mail below:

I have now completed the assessment of
your application for a permanent resident
visa as a member of the federal skilled
worker class. I have determined that you do
not meet the requirements for immigration
to Canada.
Subsection 12(2) of the
Immigration and Refugee Protection Act
states that a foreign national may be
selected as a member of the economic class
on the basis of their ability to become
economically established in Canada.
Subsection 75(1) of the regulations
prescribes the federal skilled worker class as
a class of persons who are skilled workers
and who may become permanent residents
on the basis of their ability to become
economically established in Canada.
Pursuant to the
Immigration and Refugee Protection
Regulations, 2002, skilled worker applicants
are assessed on the basis of the criteria set
out in subsection 76(1). The assessment of
these criteria determines whether a skilled
worker will be able to become economically
established in Canada. The criteria are age,
education, knowledge of Canada's official
languages, experience, arranged employment
and adaptability.
Your application was assessed based on the
occupation(s)
Maximum
in which you requested
assessment: .

The table below sets out the points
assessed:

Points assessed
Age 10
10

Education 20
25

Experience 21
21

Arranged employment 0
10

Official language proficiency 10 (Rewrite
IELTS Pls) 24

Adaptability 4 (Why score
of 4 under adaptability) 10

TOTAL 65

You have not obtained the minimum number
of points, currently 67, required for a
permanent resident visa. You were awarded
points according to the information you
have provided in your application. You have
therefore not satisfied me that you will be
able to become economically established in
Canada.
Subsection 76(3) of the regulations permits
an officer to substitute their evaluation of
the likelihood to become economically
established in Canada if the number of
points awarded is not a sufficient indicator
of whether the skilled worker may become
economically established in Canada.

Also, I reviewed your financial assets in
order to satisfy me that you have sufficient
financial resources for a family of 4 people.
Based on the information you have provided,
I am not satisfied that you meet the
minimum financial requirements for a family
of 4 people. You provided evidence to have
available funds totalling 16,644$ however,
the minimum financial required for a family
of 4 people is 20,654$ (Increase your
account balance to cover 4 people with at
least $21500).

Subsection 11(1) of the Act states that a
foreign national must, before entering
Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or for
any other document required by the
regulations. The visa or document shall be
issued if, following an examination, the
officer is satisfied that the foreign national is
not inadmissible and meets the requirements
of this Act. Subsection 2(2) specifies that
unless otherwise indicated, references in the
Act to "this Act" include regulations made
under it.
Following an examination of your
application, I am not satisfied that you meet
the requirements of the Act and the
regulations for the reasons explained above.
I am therefore refusing your application.
Thank you for the interest you have shown
in Canada.
Sincerely,
Immigration Officer
Immigration Section"

I have actually read this before.I wonder how she managed to scale through central intake office,Nova Scotia only for Accra to say that she did not get enough points.Was it that ,CIO made a mistake or what could have happened?From all indications,she did not contest the verdict from Accra.God help us all.I believe that they have started opening our files for review and assigning it to different visa officers.We really need to pray to get the visa officer that will divinely favour our file and over look anything that looks petty.

I don't think the post was made last year. Maybe 2011 or 2012. Reasons for rejection are scary. if her POF is insufficient I thought Accra use to ask for fresh proof. Aspa her scores, she can argue that out because if CIC thinks she meets the mark, why should Accra think differently.

What i think with regards the proof of funds is that,since she had a new baby,she should have known that the money she was expected to have in her account should increase to balance with family of four.I think it is one of those things that we have listed in the PER.We need to go through the PER again to avoid some things that we are not aware of which they have already stated.

I think we need to pray that our files should be given to a case officer who will favour us. Remember she said she sent Accra an updated POF when she had a baby- that was not taken into consideration by her case officer.

Again strongly believe she should have been given a fair chance of sending an updated document on anyone that is found questionable... we've had cases like that reported in the forum too.

My prayer is that our expectations shall not be cut off

She actually did not say that she sent an updated POF;she mentioned sending documents.This might just be sending the relevant forms and not attaching updated POF.I you read the message from Accra,they mentioned that

"Also, I reviewed your financial assets in
order to satisfy me that you have sufficient
financial resources for a family of 4 people.
Based on the information you have provided,
I am not satisfied that you meet the
minimum financial requirements for a family
of 4 people. You provided evidence to have
available funds totalling 16,644$ however,
the minimum financial required for a family
of 4 people is 20,654$"

The money she used was less compared to the expected.I just feel that she did not update her POF;if she did,she would have been aware of the expected money to send and thereby increasing it.Aside from this,she did not get the expected points.That really beat my imagination because CIO,Nova Scotia never pin-pointed this and Accra did.

In all,Kemi showed little or no resistance to the verdict.She did not even aim to appeal it.I have a strong feeling she probably felt the mistake was more to her than to CIC.

God help us!
