Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[Dimilitantey]

Thank you so much for your fast reply. I am grateful.

Please do you advise that I inform Accra via web form that I am currently in Canada as a visitor?
So does that mean I will not need to submit my passport?
Please what are the instructions? Please can you kindly advise.

I am a newbie so a bit confused, hence my many questions. Thanks for your help

Hello there, yh I also believe the best move is to update AVO via a webform about your current location. This might prompt them to send you to the closest VAC around you to submit your passport. Hopefully the transfer of the final step don't take too long.

Personally if this was me, with my case in Accra, once I received the PPR to submit my passport I would return to ACCRA ASAP and provide my passport for the final stages since this where it was processed.

As for that last stage it can't be skipped, in a sense that even if you had done an inland process in Canada you would still submit passport for the residency visa status. So being there would imply that you would definitely submit it either to ACCRA as they say or prompt them and they transfer it to the closest VAC next to you for submission.

Just My Thoughts bro.

Thank you for the response. I was instructed to send directly to their visa office in Accra Ghana which I did. And again, how do I raise a web form to know if my application was received. Thank you

Sure thing bro, first of all this is the link to submit a webform to the AVO on accra to check on your file.

From your information and response from their side looks like they have already transferred your file to Accra but they did not or skipped the process of informing you.

However you can still submit a webform to confirm your case being in ACCRA.

From reading your other comments I also got confused just as @armoured is confused. But I hope this really helps you.

Hello Everyone,
Please I need help on something I saw in my GCkeys. I did my medicals sometimes mid April. It was completed and submitted the next day. I confirmed with the center and I was given the print out that showed it was completed and the date it was submitted. Few weeks after, my update change to We did not receive the results of your medical examination. Check details below........ . Please I just want to know why this happened or if theres an issue with my medical examination. Thanks anticipation.

Don't think is a problem at all. First of all the gckey is just a platform that needs to be updated by the IRCC personnels themselves. I only think it hasn't been updated even though your file has been submitted.

I would suggest that you get a picture/scanned photo of the receipt submit a webform upload that receipt and you would be fine.

Again from my lil research I realised most of the VAC centers have been closed temporarily and not operating for sometime in May, hence may be a reason it hasn't been updated. So please don't stress at all. The medicals has been done and just need an update by them.

Infact most of my updates made by them were only after I prompted them.

Just My Thoughts cos myself haven't even done medicals yet..

It was on the online cic tool. I just even noticed it today because I dint check it that’s as often as the portal. I just have pre-arrival letter and medical request form on my portal

 

[damdam25]

For those who have received DM + PPR. When did you receive the " We started processing your application on ...... date"?. and how many weeks or months did it take you to receive further correspondence from them? I'm just trying to "guesstimate". Done with medical and waiting for DM

Hi, have you gotten the message on “we started processing your application….” I’m also done with medical and waiting for DM

 

[Azora]

@A... @taegee07 and @damdam25 ..with the above timelines and having received DM + Pre-Arrival Letter, I believe in the next set of PPR emails, we will be among the host of recipients

The eagle finally landed....PPR knocked on my door and woke me up this morning *winks
