Its very confusing. Accra sent me a request for payment of RPRF on Nov 16, 2015 and payment was done on the 23rd Nov 2015. This implies that the application is now in Accra Office. To me it appears they have a lot of backlogs (2014 applications). This is just my view and I believe we will soon get our PPR.
How did you know it was Accra that sent u RPRF. Did u receive 2nd AoR from them.

Barbylonzy,

I did not receive the 2nd AOR. Find below an extract from the request letter sent to me.

"The above information/documents must be received in our office within 30 days from the date of this
letter. Failure to do so could result in the refusal of your application. Please quote your complete
application number on your correspondence and address your correspondence to the Canadian High
Commission for Ghana in Accra at the address indicated below.
Please note that submission in person will not be accepted."

The complete address of the commission in Accra was provided to enable me send a copy of the RPRF payment receipt to them.

Is the above not convincing enough to believe that the processing is done in Accra?

Except for one EE applicant from November, I also observed that most of the PPR are issued to August batch (about 3 or more). You are September AOR, you should be expecting yours very soon (within the week perhaps). Accra is working and like I said before it appears they have backlogs. Let us keep praying, we will all receive our PPR by the grace of God.

You can find a way to call them to confirm the status of your application. I was sent this same mail in November 2015 but in my own case my Bg check is still not started even up till now. They also stated that receiving that mail is not a guarantee that one will be issued PPR. But since your bg check has changed to in progress, you should be expecting PPR any moment from now. Best of luck.

Good news...have you been asked to go for Planning for Canada session as well?
Also do you mind telling what other docs they've requested?

@bimbychic
Please share with us the document they are requesting for. Am PNP and am more than 4 months after AOR. I believe also that the processing time depend largely on your travel history as they may have to contact every country that you have traveled to and this may slow down the process.

I just wonder why AVO will advise applicants to go ahead and attend IOM seminar only to say that doesnt guarantee PPR?! ??? Perhaps is better they issue such advise post PPR.... and thats why a Patib will rather receive her PPR before planning to attend such seminar!

And talking about backlogs, even the FSW2014 peeps are not getting MR/PPR or any updates for that matter from Accra, so which of the streams is really taking their time? This only leaves one to keep wondering :(

BTW i didn't hear anyone reporting PPR from AVO all through last week, only God knows what this week holds.
