I will give you some little tips here when you ever apply to AVO especially sponsorship....where people will have their dreams and hopes so high and some even quit their jobs in Africa.....
Well, AVO is not one of those visa offices you could apply and Holla they tell you to come to Canada within 6 months or even a year. If grace finds you and you are lucky then, you are free but even with that only a handful few like 0.01% out of 100%.
So here is the clue, the moment you apply to Canada through AVO, forget everything like you've applied or anything.
Focus on your life in Africa. Do your job like the normal day like nothing is happening. Put 2-3years time frame where you don't bother yourself about whether they've approved your application and wondering what is happening.
Forget about IRCC matters but make sure if they ask you of any document, you provide and shine your eye and do your due diligence about your life and Daily living to avoid stress and emotional symptoms that comes with when, where and how etc questions with no answers.
Focus on you and not the papers or the application. Live your life with your partner or spouse even though they may be away but don't stress yourself about it...
Never!! Because it will be a waste of your emotional time. If you get it early, fine. If not also, lift your head up high and keep going until the due date comes when they finally decides to make you come to Canada....
Never stress or get burdened or even think about you have any plans to travel abroad.....go about your normal business and Daily living and keep laughing
Don't even email or message them for answers because you won't get anyways and if you are lucky, it will answer part of the questions and not the full answer so what's the point?
Give them time to decide with 1-3 years time and stay focus....However, you can only do these things if you can embrace this 3 key strategies...
No. 1. Never stress or get worried about the guy next door....and I mean what is happening in someone else's applications, about their time lines especially when you applied before them yet they still got approved before you or even you applied on the same month or day but your case seems to be stacked.
No.2. Keep your eyes on the finish line knowing one day your light too will shine....Somebodies can't be your story and all cases are different. Be selfish small here
No.3. Don't give up and keep running. Running in still living your life even if you get refused, try again and still have your hope to get it in the future someday somehow at the end of the tunnel.....
Hope this hopes someone!!
