    Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

    I suggest you mail it directly to Accra. It's faster, approximately 2 - 3 weeks. With Lagos, you could wait up to 7 weeks. Depends on your level of urgency.

    DECEMBER 2021 *OUTLAND* Spousal Sponsorship

    I got PPR about two weeks ago. Here's my timeline below: Submission Date: December 14, 2021 (Online) AOR: March 10, 2022 Biometrics: (Exempted, had one already from a failed TRV application) SA: March 31, 2022 (Moved to Accra VO same day) Medical Request: May 16, 2022 Medicals Completed: May...

    DECEMBER 2021 *OUTLAND* Spousal Sponsorship

    Why didn't you apply directly to IRCC through ATIP here: Access to Information and Privacy (ATIP) Online Request (apps.gc.ca)? Costs $5 bucks. Doubt if these third party sites can get it any faster, they most likely just put in a request through ATIP themselves on your behalf. I've requested...

    NEW Thread for ACCRA Visa Office - Spousal Sponsorship Stream

    I think IRCC just give canned responses to these MP offices. It's like they just look to what you have online, what is also available to you and provide that to your MP. We had a similar response with ours and were also told security verifications have not been initiated, 3 days later we got...

    NEW Thread for ACCRA Visa Office - Spousal Sponsorship Stream

    Totally understand the frustration. IRCC lacks a lot of coordination and consistency. I got denied twice as well on TRV, and nothing came out of the third one after almost 6 months of waiting, it still pending. You just need to keep applying pressure as much as you can, as you currently are...

    NEW Thread for ACCRA Visa Office - Spousal Sponsorship Stream

    For GC Key, I can't quite remember, but it changed about a day or two after it was transferred to the Accra Office. On the new tracker it changed to in progress on September 1 the day I submitted the ADR. Background verification didn't even go to "In progress" status on the tracker. But...

    NEW Thread for ACCRA Visa Office - Spousal Sponsorship Stream

    Oh! Unfortunately the TRV was refused on the grounds of strong family ties to Canada with my spouse (which is silly if you ask me). Applied again earlier this year but it still is pending, but thankfully we have PPR now for the PR application.

    Does anyone know the current fee to mail passport directly to Accra VFS. Hard to get a hold of them. Is it still GHC 565?

    Did you send your passport via the VFS office in Nigeria (I assume you are Nigerian) or you mailed it directly yourself to Accra?

    NEW Thread for ACCRA Visa Office - Spousal Sponsorship Stream

    You may just have to wait for IRCC's response. I assume you've checked your message section on GCKey to confirm wether or not the letter is there? You may also send a email to Accra (if they are requesting biometrics, chances are your file is there already). Just mark it as urgent and state what...

    NEW Thread for ACCRA Visa Office - Spousal Sponsorship Stream

    So you know where it says "Check full application status" on the table once you login to your account home on GCKey? When you click on that, under "Details about your application status", "Review of eligibility", mine changed from: "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message...

    NEW Thread for ACCRA Visa Office - Spousal Sponsorship Stream

    It's normal. I get the same updates. Before Medicals it was almost averaging more than twice a week. Since Medicals, it's been only once. They just say it's been updated and specify the date and don't tell you what has been updated. I generally think it's a good sign. Means they are actively...
