Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[Mimikoms]

Hey @Mimikoms , I'm not sure if you have addressed this section yet (overall this email is super confusing, I don't knnow why AVO can't lay out their emails in a more clear and concise way)

Section 117(9) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, stipulates:

A foreign national shall not be considered a member of the family class by virtue of their relationship to a sponsor if

(c) the foreign national is the sponsor's spouse and

(i) the sponsor or the foreign national was, at the time of their marriage, the spouse of another person.

I have concerns that you have not fulfilled the requirement put upon you by subsection 16(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act which states:

16(1) A person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant evidence and documents that the officer reasonable requires.


Other than you WAEC certificate, I think they are also concerned that the PA or the sponsor was either married or in a common law relationship or just a relationship with someone else at the time of your marriage. Is there any reason they might misunderstand something and think this?

Remember you can email them and clearly ask them for clarification on the certain sections you are unclear about. That might be a good idea to ensure you provide them with exactly what they need.

I am confused and don't understand most of the things written in the email. I've never been married or being in a common law relationship before this.
Didn't know I could ask them to clarify things, I will do just that.
Thanks for this information.

We ha

This is a standard letter they issue in regards to regulations and statue of IRPA
in the sections and subsections outline the requirements to fulfill admissibility of foreign national if visa officer deems the information/genuine relationship and including documentation is being questioned. so they always will refer to the regulation section when they have doubts. so our friend @Mimikoms has to:
1. provide additional relationship documents such as any recent trip if one was taken visa stamps, plane ticket.
2. communication such as whatsapp conversation, photos of screen shots during conversations, Skype any new relevant information that proves you are husband and wife perhaps if the applicant is on sponsors insurance as beneficiary you can provide insurance docs
3. certificate that was provided to them WAEC- please contact the board and obtain another copy along with letter coming from the board addressing concerns of the certificate being valid when it was issued.

question to you did your applicant pass the medical exam? if they did then no need to address anything there.

The VO adjudicating this file is trying to refuse based on misrepresentation of documents however VO can not based on a "gut feeling" unless the VO has valid reasons and evidence to prove the document submitted is fraudulent then they can proceed if not then they need to do their due diligence of facts and evidence not gut feeling.

Just do all I suggested to you inbox and you shall be good to go @mimiko

ve done medicals yet, was waiting for the request before this.

Thank you becos for your feedback on this issue! After I read the content of the entire mail I was so confused about what are their main concern. Now I got the point from your page and I think this is a real mess but nothing is impossible to overcome. @Mimikoms, like becos advice you just give them what they ask for to prove them that the certificate is genuine. In addition, the sponsor too has to prove that her or she wasn't a spouse of another prior to your marriage. AVO are like that if they suspect one thing is not good then everything is not good us well. Now the WAEC share their data base with the embassy so they
have access to verify a certificate within I minutes.

How can he prove he isn't married to someone else or in a common law relationship? Any ideas?

@Mimikoms endeavor to write AVO and ask for clarification. If the WAEC certificate is the only problem then its easy to prove. I believe even old results can still be checked with a scratch card (please confirm). You can get the WAEC statement of result issued by the secondary school and then the original issued by WAEC along with a WAEC scratch card then explain in a letter how they can check the result online. I hope this still works now. As for all those other bogus quotes, I was confused as well when I read it but it will be better to address ALL the points they outlined there one by one with as much evidence as you can for each point. Please don't be in a hurry to submit until you can actually pin point what they want.

When someone is living in canada, what's the fastest way to get an FBI clearance Certificate ? Thank you

@Mimikoms after re-reading that letter, I think this is where the problem lies
"I have concerns that you have not fulfilled the requirement put upon you by subsection 16(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Actwhich states:
16(1) A person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant evidence and documents that the officer reasonable requires.
Specifically, I have concerns that the WAEC certificate which you have provided in support of your application is fraudulent."
Your new evidence should be mostly based on your husbands historical identification. I would put all his school certificates leading up to WAEC including the WAEC originals and scratch card I mentioned earlier. Cross check that the dates you filled out in the immigration's forms for personal history check out with the dates on the certificates.

MPs do not speed up the application process @me2605 @Wapsis . They can only look in to the status of your app, similar to what your myCIC account says. I know this because I worked very closely with my MP on our case because we couldn't couldn't gain access to our myCIC. They have no influence until your processing time expires, at that point they can support you more and advocate. So if you're a 2017 app and your app has been processing for more than 12 months, they can help you at that point.

As for the message form your MP about the status of your app. Mine said that same thing the night before our interview, the night before we were given medical request and two days before PPR. MyCIC is an inputting system, every officer will do it differently, take it with a grain of salt. It's not a good representation of what is actually happened. Ours said that our documents hadn't even been reviewed yet, the night before our interview, which was so untrue because we were approved right afterwards.

I actually believe they do absolutely nothing on the files until they are ready and its something that really shouldn't take more than a day to look through...they keep it as if they are doing something special to verify documents...thats why you got ppr a day after..cos there really is no big deal to verifying an application that is properly detailed!!! they are just lazy and trying to slow down the immigration quota for each year

Hello good people, please I need help. Just got a mail from AVO and I need help on what to do.

This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada as a member of the Family Class.

Your application and all of the documents you submitted in support of it have been reviewed and it appears that you may not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.

Subsection 11(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) provides that a foreign national must, before entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or any other document required by the Immigration and Refugee Protection 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 the Act.

Subsection 12(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that a foreign national may be selected as a member of the family class on the basis of their relationship as the spouse, common-law partner, child, parent or other prescribed family member of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.

Section 117(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, 2002 defines who is a member of the family class. A foreign national is a member of the family class if, with respect to a sponsor, the foreign national is

(a) the sponsor’s spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner;

Subsection 4(1) of the regulations, states that, for the purpose of these regulations, no foreign national shall be considered a spouse, a common-law partner or a conjugal partner of a person if the marriage, common-law partnership or conjugal partnership was entered into primarily for the purpose of acquiring any status or privilege under the Act; or is not genuine.

Section 117(9) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations, stipulates:

A foreign national shall not be considered a member of the family class by virtue of their relationship to a sponsor if

(c) the foreign national is the sponsor's spouse and

(i) the sponsor or the foreign national was, at the time of their marriage, the spouse of another person.

I have concerns that you have not fulfilled the requirement put upon you by subsection 16(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act which states:

16(1) A person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant evidence and documents that the officer reasonable requires.


Specifically, I have concerns that the WAEC certificate which you have provided in support of your application is fraudulent.

Please note that if it is found that you have engaged in misrepresentation in submitting your application for a permanent residence in Canada as a member of the Family Class you may be found to be inadmissible under section 40(1)(a) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. A finding of such inadmissibility would render you inadmissible to Canada for a period of five years according to section 40(2)(a):

40(1) A permanent resident or a foreign national is inadmissible for misrepresentation

(a) for directly or indirectly misrepresenting or withholding material facts relating to a relevant matter that induces or could induce an error in the administration of this Act

40(2) The following provisions govern subsection (1):

(a) the permanent resident or the foreign national continues to be inadmissible for misrepresentation for a period of five years following, in the case of a determination outside Canada, a final determination of inadmissibility under subsection (1) or, in the case of determination in Canada, the date the removal order is enforced.

I would like to provide you with the opportunity to respond to this information. You will have 30 days from the date of this letter to submit additional information in this regard. Please respond using the address at the top of this letter and clearly indicate your file number for all correspondence.

If you do not respond to this request within 30 days, your application will be assessed based on the information currently on file and may result in the refusal of your application.

Please note that submission in person will not be accepted.


We look forward to receiving your additional information.

@Mimikoms truly the letter is confusing but gather all your historical school documents like @Ugoswife mentioned ,also gather relationship proof like what's app chats ,Facebook post n whatever social media evidence you guys have ,to prove there wasn't any marriage or common law relationship before if u are the sponsor call canada revenue agency and request for an option c that will show whether you or your spouse marital status before the application. I will also get family members from both sides to write supporting letter, but first things first get a clarification from Avo to findout exactly what they are requesting from you .All the best
