Oh, you definitely should send AVO a mail!! But first you need to subtract the time it took you to send your passport till it was received at AVO. I mean from what we've seen in this house people got PUM within 2 - 3weeks. So I think if it's over 5weeks for you then it's a bit unusual.

HELLO @maki22,

Just to add a few more notes to the answers to your question below,

For question 2: Yes, your returning to Canada would impact the decision for your spouse's PR. Note that, it is expected that canadian citizens who sponsor their spouses for PR are expected to be living in Canada. If you are not living in Canada by the time of your sponsorship application, you are expected to prove your "Intent to return" to Canada if your spouse is granted the PR.

Hence, it will be in the favour of your application if you return to Canada with your child while the application is being processed. If you choose this route, I suggest you send an updated letter or documentation to the Accra office showing proof of your return to Canada. You can documents such as a recent tenancy/lease agreements in Canada, pay slips showing you are receiving pay in Canada, utility bills/contracts in your name, etc. It will be in your interest to do this as soon as you can after returning to Canada AND before a visa officer actually starts to review your file. This will save you lots of time.

If you are still resident in Accra (or elsewhere outside of Canada) when the visa officer starts to process your application, be sure to expect a letter from the office asking you to show proof of intent to return to Canada. In some cases, if a visa officer doesn't feel enought proof has been provided to show intent to return to Canada, such application will be denied.

Please take this advise from someone who learnt all this the hard way.

Thank you so much for the answer - the advice I received from our consultants in Canada is that the case is stronger if I as a canadian citizen moved to live with my husband in his country while awaiting the decision but I am planning on returning before the decision is made and that depends on when I get the citizenship card for our baby.

Although it looks strong to have lived with your spouse all you need is lease or rental agreemnt prepared however prior to decision made you need to show intent to live in canada before issuiance of visa. If ypur still living in ghana they will not issue the visa rather reject it just an fyi
