oh yeah? thanks a lot for the response.

I just really wish i sent to Accra straight instead of Lagos. Cause it took exactly 2weeks to get to VFSGhana.
IKR makes sense, because just 2 weeks to reach Accra is too much, I think it all has to do with the cost, they seem to have services with de courier companies so cheaper but is fine I feel is the best once it's in their hands. For me I waited 15months so I don't care how long for the PP. I am targeting a month even though am sure myt come earlier.

my dear i can only imagine. I think yours might take 10days.

A friend sent hers straight to Accra two weeks after mine and got it back in 10days. sigh...

Praying for God's speed and favour.

Yes o, from Nigeria. Crazy stuff honestly.

We'll all get it soon by God's Grace, (next week) the wait can be quite drowning, the anxiety that comes once you receive a mail and the pressure waiting on the next! phew!

Hello everyone, please after Medicals, do I need to upload the "e-medicals information sheet" from the hospital or any other document to IRCC? I am quite confused

So from this message, I think will depend 1stly on the courier service CVO decides to use and dispatch your file. I see there has been a tracking ID provided. For eg. if DHL is used you will be able to use the ID on their website to estimate the expected delivery to Lagos.

Now am not sure if Accra will dispatch directly to you or to VFS lagos who will then forward it to you. But upon tracking it, even the delivery location will be visible. This my experience from checking delivery of packages but as to how IRCC works on it am not sure. But surely its been set to move soon since there is a tracking ID already.

oh wow... thanks a lot.

i think they mostly use UPS right? they'll definitely send to VFS Lagos first before dispatching to me. oh btw, I used two way courier from DHL.

You welcome.

But honestly not sure about the courier for Nigeria cos they advised me to use DHL so I presume for me DHL will be used to dispatch since am in Ghana. But from my lil experience as you said it might be UPS because that tracking number doesn't resemble a DHL ID.

I will say when it comes to VO application in ghana, one should just become a US citizen or something and within 3-7 month, you should get everything but certainly not AVO. They just frustrate people....As a Ghanaian, if I have my chances like i would use a different VO for my spouse. I was in Ghana this June and my wife's application was filed even before coming Home, Ghana. I came and there was a student who also wanted to come to Montreal to do science and they had refused this guy earlier but luckily, somebody connected him to me and I gave him some tips and he re-applied and they gave it to him and within a short time they approved his study permit and last month, he came to Canada. My wife has filed for 5 applications since last year, 2 were refused and 3 are still in process including her PR application.....I message them over and over and the migration response is always, her file is still in queue for review and i know what that means....They just want to tell you, be ready for the wait!!
