DHL in Kumasi didn’t allow my wife to pay for return envelope. They told her to call them for pickup once she receives PUM. I will ask her to call them for pick up. Thank you for your reply.

I'm in the same boat with your wife. I was approved on Thursday and yet to receive PUM. So you will have to wait until the PUM arrives then you print a copy and send to DHL to use for the pick up.
I'm also in Kumasi, don't worry DHL will pick it up within 24hours once your wife goes there with PUM
Wondering if anyone else has noticed initals on the bottom of email correspondance from avo? Last year I sent an updated copy of my passport and asked that my file reflect my married name and received confirmation that it was received, and a few weeks ago I asked for an update and got a standard response. Both emails were signed 'mv'.
All my correspondence including My latest mail from AVO(a few weeks ago) was just signed off by the immigration section. No initials

I too have three correspondences signed "MV".
Does anyone know why there is a 5 month or more delay in decision making after the medicals have passed and review of additional documents says not applicable and the issuance of PPR and has anyone received it in 6 months from the AVO? Thank you.

I got the standard reply to the email that we all sent to the Minister of Immigration.
The one line that jumped out at me as this:
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada records confirm that this application (xxxxxxxx) was received on April 4, 2017, and is currently being processed at the Canadian visa office in Accra. Therefore, it appears that this application is proceeding normally with no unexpected or unwarranted delays.
So between that and a message from our MP on Friday that said:
Good Morning,
Your application is in the que and will be processed accordingly. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/
I am currently working with clients who have applied in 2015. Please check out the link for processing times.
I am hoping this means that there are no issues so far and it is just taking a while to process our application. Still hoping to get our notes sometime this week.

This unexpected northward migration has overwhelmed Canada's system for processing asylum claims, leading to the worst delays in years.
This may explain delays.
I believe it affects the visa offices doing Background checks on its citizens who are from Nigeria or other countries?
I'm not familiar with the asylum process but somehow feel there may be some effect on the immigration system overall if not directly?

Quick question for those that have received PPR and mailed their passsport with new police clearance, did you your background check status change on ecas? I mailed my passport with all the needed documents before the deadline and it was delivered feb 21 2018, but till date haven’t heard anything from Accra not a status change on ecas or PUM. I have mailed them twice now no reply and now it is getting me worried, don’t know if it is because I didn’t send the documents online first before mailing the hard copies to them. Any advice guys ?
