That's a tough one. Only Accra CiC Officers will be able to answer that precisely. You may have a look at the tracker on Trackitt. I have also read posts of someone on here who says he's received his PPR.

Am not sure how the backlog has affected processing at CHC Accra, the new system will only ensure that people that don't qualify do not clog the system. Things may not necessarily improve except if the visa allocated to Accra is increased, with naija having an average of 4/5 persons per family, you can imagine its impact on the few visas allocated to this visa office.

Having been there, done that. My advice is to concentrate on life after landing, your visa will surely come as long as you are qualified to immigrate. Focus on your present life and prepare for the big move - mentally and all.

All the best!

Exactly sir, the emboldened part is the one i am most happy about. I have said many times over that applicants under the Accra office are one of the greatest beneficiaries of the new change - bill c50 rule. I know that as at 2008, Accra's quota was approx 2000visas, with about 20,000 applications pending to be processed under the pre c50- which then means there could be a very long wait of up to ten years if the prevailing conditions at the time remains constant. The bill c50 has made it possible eligible applicants to "jump the queue".

Hello Guys,

A quick one, Is it advisable to cancel your application and re-apply?, because timeline for Accra keeps increasing, for example I applied in june 2005 (4 years already), it will be crazy if I have to wait for another 4 years (going by the timeline).

I recently finished my CGA (Certified General Accountants of Canada) exams, so I am now a member.

My thinking is that If I cancel the old application and put in for a new one could make a difference, or should I just forward the new qualification to them?

many thanks

All, pls for anything Accra, plan your life as though you are not going anywere. The Accra handling can ruin you if you factor it into your life. There are cases of over eight years. Most times due to CIC's fault. You could do a medical and they choose not to see it. Its simply a path to follow with care.

Chevchenko, it is important to note that there is no guarantee that the new one would be successful. This question can best be answered by CHC themselves. What you can do is to request for CAIPS note, this will help you make a decision. Hope you remember anyway that new rule has its own downsides especially the "May" and "Have to" Clause. In the old process, the CIC/officer has to look at the case, in the new one the CIC/officer may look at the case.

You may send in the new one whilst the old one is still running. The guides and the oprational bulletins say so on the CiC site. You would be advised to withdraw one of the cases once you get to the finals of whichever case is quicker. If funding isn't an issue for you, i would advise you send it in sharpish. As you've done CGA, i reckon you're into Accounting/finance and those two are in the list of 38 under C-50 rules.


It is a wise thing to do, and there's ample resources for you on the CiC site. Feel free to post any queries on here, and i shall respond to them.
