Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[FitzTaj]

Thanks

Hi bro, I sent you a pm but no response. How long did it take you to change VO and through what means did you get it done. And we're you notified by ottawa or directly by avo when the change was effected.

 

[lamour]

Thank you Lamour I am now waiting SA and file transfer to Accra bcos my medicals ll expire July and I don't know if they ll request for remedical or extend the one i did nd also police certificate. All done in July
please advice
thank you

Hey @samola10. I'll suggest you don't worry about the Medicals for now, July is still far off. This process gets stressful and intense and days and months go by. Taking one step at a time will help have a good composure of the process.

Now I am a little worried, has anyone else had to go through an interview? Can you please give me any information about the interview and what they are looking for? Thanks!!!

Dear, Ardnacieso



On October 25, 2012, CIC introduced a period of conditional permanent residence for certain spouses and partners.



A sponsored spouse, common-law or conjugal partner whose application for permanent residence was received by CIC on or after October 25, 2012, is subject to a period of conditional permanent residence under section 72.1 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR) if they were in a relationship with their sponsor for two years or less and had no children in common with their sponsor at the time of the sponsorship application.



Section 72.1 of the IRPR states the following:



72.1 (1) Subject to subsections (5) and (6), a permanent resident described in subsection (2) is subject to the condition that they must cohabit in a conjugal relationship with their sponsor for a continuous period of two years after the day on which they became a permanent resident.



CIC has determined that you are subject to the condition under section 72.1 of the IRPR and therefore you are required to live together in a conjugal relationship with your sponsor for a period of two years after the day on which you become a permanent resident.





EXCEPTIONS:

If one of the following situations applies to you, you may contact CIC to request an exception to the condition:

You do not have to stay in the relationship with your sponsor to keep your status in Canada if you are living in a situation of abuse or neglect. Where there is evidence of abuse or neglect by your sponsor or if your sponsor fails to provide protection from abuse or neglect by a person related to your sponsor (even if that person is not living in the household), you may request an exception from the condition.


If there is evidence that your sponsor has died during the period of your conditional permanent residence, you may request an exception to the condition.

Good Morning Fam'ly! We are all set! We sent the passport in Friday and they git it Monday, and they called us today to confirm that Boo can travel before Feb 20, 2016. We said yes. Visa was issued 10 minutes later and we got the confirmation email to pick up the passport. From the time they got the passport to the issuance of visa, it took 3 business days. It's our time and everyone on the thread is getting a miracle before January 31, 2016.

Olorvi, it is a good thing. Should everything be in order, the visa will be issued same day.
Just ensure you are well prepared and ready. If it wasn't a good thing, they would have just declined you. You will be fine! See you folks!

Benestel
Congratulation to you and to your husband. My wife 's passport Also Was received in Accra on Monday but we didnt get any News yet. Did they ask your husband to update IMM008 and Provide a new Police certificat?
I hope we get that visa very soon.

 

[BENESTEL]

You are approved. Passport request should come tomorrow or Monday! We got this Tuesday and Wednesday they asked for the passport. Congratulations Girlfriend!
