Hi, you can update AVO about your recent travels and the reasons via CSE. Use this link, https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/case-cas-eng.aspx?mission=accra

All the best.

Well iphy, I look at the relationship between an applicant and consultant like that between a student and the class captain; does it matter who submits your assignment to the lecturer?
Well, it boils down to what you're comfortable with; if you can pass the message across effectively yourself then by all means, do it yourself.
But it you prefer the consultant to earn his fee then tell him what you want him to do and let him do it.
Cheers

Even though you may choose to still send CSE to Accra as advised above,it's absolutely not necessary as it doesn't fall into fall among the information/details after your submission that needs to be expressly updated on your file neither was it a unintentionally/deliberately withheld information/detail by you.
Aside unintentional/deliberate withholding of details before your submission(like VISA rejection issues),the updates that you need to EXPRESSLY inform your local visa office can be seen at the tail-end of your Positive eligibility review (PER) mail and its quoted below.....

"If additional documents are required, you will be provided an address to forward required documents. Please inform the visa office of any changes in your application (e.g. birth or adoption of a child, marriage or common-law relationship, new occupation or employer, submission of an Arranged Employment Opinion approved by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, change of address, change of e-mail address, change of immigration representative, etc). Please include a letter identifying what the changes are and any relevant supporting documents. If your documents are not in English or French, send a notarized (certified) translation with a copy of the originals"
But as advised,you can update them via the CSE but if you choose not to,it won't affect you negatively.
Personally for me and many of my buddies who fall into same scenario as you,it wasn't an issue so you are covered.
Cheers.

Finding Job in Canada as you land:

A professional resume is the most important thing. A good cover letter is another one. Looking for a job is a full-time job. As anywhere else in the world, you need to know people who can help you. The more you go out, meet new people, talk to people, the better you chances are to find the right job. Don't be shy. Learn how to sell your skills and yourself.

Be prepared for disappointment, rejection, and often complete indifference. Canadian companies are not known for being risk takers and the issue of Canadian experience will come up more often than not. Be prepared and explain how the fact that you do NOT have Canadian experience will help the employer.

just be positive and dont panic.

Gentleiphy, thanks for this apt info.

E- Medical means ur reports are uploaded electronically by the hospital and viewable immediately by the visa office. The other option to e-medical is postage of hardcopy. Can't say if courier is used or regular post.

As per hospital choice in Lagos, preference is individualistic

I know many of us have tirelessly refreshed this page waiting for updates.

Ok oooooo FYI- today is a holiday in most Canadian provinces. In BC, AB, SK & ON it is Family day
In MB, it is Louis Riel day
In NS, it is Viola Desmond day

Does this affect AVO? I do not know

Now, let's all exhale ;D
