In addition to my previous post, I decided to travel though missing my wife.At the same time,to snap more pictures together because the first mail we received from AVO having sent all their required documents initially was that my wife should send copies of all her passport pages and that of my child, fill travel form IMM. ...... and she should send photos we snapped when I visited her.We were able to send all except photos at time of visit because we have not met since I have been in Canada.Even when she was accompanying her boss to cotonou on a business trip ,I came down to Cotonou hoping to see her but due to logistics and other unexpected circumstances on my behalf,we were unable to see as they returned to Nigeria that same day.Effort to see her was abortive till I got back due to the nature of her job so demanding.This therefore made AVO to send us a letter the second time that we should send more proofs that he was satisfied with our spousal relationship.I pray once again that God should have on us by making my wife to experience a favorable interview in Jesus name.Amen
Gather as much proof as you can, and as suggested, if your wife is a beneficiary to your insurance and pension policies, send those as well. And PREPARE for the interview. If after sending additional proof twice and they still are not satisfied, they will be doing a lot of digging about your past relationships, finances, family etc. I believe you will get your visa the same day.

Go to the first few pages of this thread when interview was mandatory, and you will see others' experience of the interview process. Now interview is waived for most of the applications. A quote from richie4u on pg 1 of this thread in 2011:
"i was not nervous ify, although the IO asked me if i was nervours i said no that i was excited i guess she want to know my emotion
i was question for one hour, and she was looking straight into my eys thrying to
read every language of my body, i was confidence too is another thing and be free and genuine
she asked five things i liked about my husband, where he lives, what is his hobbies, what he is doing when he is not working.
where he work and how long he has been working there, birth dates families and himself
when we met, how we meet, when he proposed, how the relationship developed,
well i guess you will see how thread about interveiw question so go through them it
will help, and be calmand blink your eyes or look away i guess because i was also looking striaght
into the IO eyes too, and i got my visa same day she asked me to come back by 3.00pm
to collect my visa.so be prepared you will get your visa same day all the best."
All the best!
