Have you guys though about the validity of the result, what if it expires before being requested by Accrea
IELTS general training has a validity of two years, as far as CiC is concerned. My advice was based on the assumption that the "tessi" applicant was applying under the new rules, since he/she mentioned CIO-sydney in her previous posts, and the chances of 2years elapsing before Accra carry out the eligibility review of his/her file is almost nil, since (s)he has already applied to CIO-Sydney. (S)he's looking at a matter of weeks or a couple of months at the most.Badmus said:
That is the context within which i based my suggestion. Thanks for bringing that up, as pre C-50(old rules) applicants wouldn't just start taking panadol for somebody else's headache, which i've seen to be a very common occurence on this forum.
Barsindoo's suggestion seems the best way forward on this one. I think visa offices were only directed to forward applications received during the transtional period(feb-Dec2008) to CIO, and not yours that had a lock-in date of 2005. Maybe some old-rules applicants can help with this one.
Oceana,
Yes.But the truth of the matter is I need not re-apply under the new rules ,cos old rules apply to old applicant .cic.faq gave me more insight.
You guys are all wonderful.It is worth exploring all avenue and means.
Hv sent a mail last night and am quite optimistic.

Dear Veterans,
You guys are doing a great job I wish you God's blessing as you enlighten and elucidate on matters that could have cost a colossal failure in the application process.
My question is about the medicals, I did my medical on 4th December 09, how long does it take to change on the cic tracker, it still reads "in process", when would it change to medicals received. Since the dmps are required to be fast on the process as opined by one of you experts, why does it normally take that long. How long does it spend in Paris before its forwarded to Ghana. Someone told me they had some technical hitches in Ghana, dont know if that's true.
My second question is on the landing fees, since the Ghana office will not send an acknowledgment that they have received your draft, how do you know it's okay or do you just assume that if nothing is heard from them for a while that means its okay. I sent my landing fees on the 17th december 2009.
Niger for Life!!!

Hello,
I wouldn't get overly worried about the ecas tracker, it has been seen in some cases, not to be a very stable and reliable pointer as per the progress of applications. Are you under the new or the old rules? Ecas works differently under the two rules. Mine did not change from "in process" until my passport got stamped by Accra. Your PPR is just around the corner. I don't think that the delay comes from Paris, cos of the very reasons someone had stated earlier. Paris just interpretes the results and either fax to Accra or update it into the system(maybe caips?), which Accra then downloads or accesses. I have read on these forums that some visa offices have informed some applicants background/security checks follow the medicals, so maybe that could be a reason for the delay.
On the landing fees, what you can do is to track the parcel through the courier to know exactly when it was delivered and if it was signed for. Another thing you could do is to check with your bankers to know if the draft has been cleared - and this isn't straightforward if you've gotten the draft through a correspondent bank in 9ja, cos it could take days if at all they would oblige you the info. My cousin sent his around the time you did yours, and as at last thursday 28th when he prompted me to check with the bank, it had not been cleared. But it was signed for by the regular signature that had been coming up on courier trackers, so no real cause to be worried.
I say Amen to the prayers o. I pray your PPR comes quick quick. But i'm not one of the veterans, was only on this for less than a year.

Badmus,
Sydney under the new ministerial system,is the place where your initial application is sent.If your application is eligible for processing,you will be informed in writing/email to send all forms and documents to Accra where you will be assigned a file number.I hope that clearify your question.

Hi,
It usually takes 2 months but add another month making 3 months. When I checked the stamp on my medical envelope, I found out that Accra had sent the envelope via post to my agent in Canada about a month earlier. So it is usually 2 months but because of postal delays add another month.
