I am also July 2015 applicant and I'm still waiting o. No news or any request yet from them. Thank God they are looking into July 2015 application. Hopefully, before the end of this month July 2015 applicants will get a positive email.
I think it doesn't exceed a year anymore. Even with re-medical, it doesn't exceed a year anymore.
If your application was received in May 2015, you ought to hear from AVO at most by April, 2016 with your PR.
The wait is almost over. Good luck to everybody.

Hello.. I just got my AOR but right now I'm not living in my country (Nigeria). I'm visiting my brother in Ghana but I might be living here in Ghana till September before returning back to Nigeria.

Do I have to notify CIC that i will be in Ghana till September?
Do I have to do another police certificate from Ghana since I will be living here for more than 6months and send it to CIC?

If your are not moving to Ghana permanently, then there is no need to inform CIC. However, after your return to your country, you should update your address/activity in regards to background declaration form, and proactively obtain police certificate for Ghana and send to AVO...you might not even have to if you get your visa before Sep.

Thanks Mandie for the reply. I won't be changing address. I will still be going back to my address in my application.

Another quick question... I noticed they spelt my first name wrongly when they emailed me my UCI number but my middle name and surname is correct.

Should I call them to correct it and what is their number?

Thanks

i got a response from accra today,



Date: May 16, 2016


UCI: xxxxxxxxxx
Application: xxxxxxxxxx



Dear xxxxxxxx:

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.

You may request an exception from the condition at any time during the two-year conditional period by calling the CIC Call Centre at 1-888-242-2100. For more information about conditional permanent residence and the exceptions, please visit the CIC website: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/family-sponsorship.asp

Information and Services for Victims of Abuse or Neglect
The police are there to help you. In an emergency situation, call 911 or 0 on your telephone and ask the operator to contact police for you.
There are websites available with information for victims of abuse or neglect. The following websites provide information for victims of abuse:

Congratulations!
