I can't wait for the tone to change o, I am about to burst because of the tension of this wait. When I read "September" in the post, I had to adjust my seat and read again, I was happy momentarily until various other posts punctured my short-lived joy that it was finally my turn. I guess it was all wishful thinking. Like we say here in this family: "It shall end in praise". Lord may Your will be done, let the tone change in our favour in Jesus name, amen.
Amen! Try and take your mind off this tension o! So many things to do, learn, and research about where you are going (Canada) to keep you pre-occupied. Remember, although it tarries, it will surely come, be encouraged and it will end in praise!

Hi everyone in the house,
I just came across this section of the forum recently; I was dulling myself checking at the Asian guys section before now.
I have gone a little bit far with my application; You can see my timeline below.
But I have a question: Even though I have done my medicals, my ECAS is still not visible - it keeps giving me this message even though I know the correct info is what I enter "We were not able to identify you using the information you provided................" I have sent a message to the AVO but no response yet. Am I safe with this? Also, what do you advice that I do?

CIC application submission: 27th May, 2014

CIC requested WES online report: 18th Sept, 2014

WES online report availability sorted: 4th Nov, 2014

Debit card charged: 11 Nov, 2014

PER: 17th Nov, 2014

Notified AVO of changes: 19th Dec, 2014

AVO requested additional docs: 10 Feb, 2015

Submitted additional docs to AVO: 9th March, 2015

MR: 27th March, 2015

Medicals done: 4th April, 2015

As we've all somehow agreed, this forum is for all of us to learn, offer solutions and simplify the application processes and stages.
We can never use the spread sheet to extrapolate the dates or decisions of AVO.
Based on my observation and analysis, may I also suggest that we shouldn't be in a haste to notify AVO of changes. I feel it slows down the application process on our own part. It might also be cumbersome for AVO filling new/additional info for applicants making their work slower.
Maybe we should be giving them the new/additional info around when we receive medicals.
Just my own thinking ooooo ;D

Are Medicals issued based on applicants Application Date or applicants PER Date at the VO level, considering other factors?

It should be PER excluding other factors....
Application date will be irrelevant as long as you're included in your NOC CAP

Hi Ed, his position has been adjusted but we would appreciate if @sega03 sends us his other dates such as Date medicals done, date PPR received, date passport sent to AVO, decision made date and visa issued date.

Cheers.

Hi sam, medicals request come after some of your background checks return as positive. An inconclusive background check leads to interview request.

The other background checks and criminality checks are concluded after medicals and before PPR.

If all the background checks are concluded as positive (no issue), then positive decision is made and visa issued. Negative background check leads to negative decision being made, no visa is issued.

Please i have been getting messages that i have been banned from posting anything on this forum. I want to ask if i did anything wrong so as not to repeat it. I only use the web like other users.
Anyway back to my question i have sent my passport for stamping to Accra Visa Office based on the PPR mail i received on the 20th of April. Please how long would it take on the average to get passport back hopefully with the visas stamped.

Hello good people,

Please, join me and thank the Lord, as we always say here, as it has ended in praise for me and my household.

I got my PPR on the 11th March and passports sent same day. Received in Accra on the 14th March. On the 20th March, got another mail from Accra questioning me why I have two valid passports. Here's the thing, I have or had a valid Canadian WX-1 visa on an older passport of mine and the pages were filled up and had to get a new passport which was the one I was using for the application. At the time, I didn't think it was necessary for me to send an older passport as it had been cancelled at the point of renewal despite the few valid visas on it. Sent the older passport on the same day and explained that the passport had indeed been cancelled.

On the 31st checked, ECAS and decision made. So I kept refreshing my mails and hoping the pickup mail will drop in a day or two. Brethren, nothing happened. Week 1, week 2. I started fretting and getting uneasy as I had to use my passport on the 27th April. Didn't have a choice than to send a mail and CSE to Accra. Still no response. I was expecting the worst but at this stage I just wanted my passport back as it'd be stupid to toy with my livelihood as I wasn't sure Accra was up to again.

Send a message to gentleandrew, he gave me the calm needed to proceed. Told me to send the mail again and raise the CSE. I did and attached my flight details etc as I had done previously.

1:03pm, 23rd April pick up arrived. Initiated the pickup with DHL same day. Didn't get any reference number nor tracking number all through Friday. Called DHL Accra to confirm if they did pick up the documents, they told me the lady to confirm that has gone to the hospital....at this point, couldn't care about that lack of professionalism as I just wanted my passport back.

On my way to the DHL branch where I initiated the pickup, they called from NAHCO that my package is ready to for pick up so I just went straight to pick it up.

I was so nervous that I almost ripped one of the CoPRs apart.

The immigrant visas and CoPR all there and the visas were issued on the 26th March. Incredible!

And I was able to make the other visa application I needed to make on the 28th April.

Good is good. I can confirm that. Help me give a shout to Andrew, that man has got the spirit of the most High about him.

My details is on the 2014 spreadsheet but I enjoy this house more. So seniors, my timeline from Medicals is all included in this post.

For those expectant, the desires of your hearts will never be cut short. It will, by His grace, all end in praise. Amen.
