1. As far as you hold a Nigerian passport, you dont need a visa to enter Ghana but you need to get yellow fever vaccination. As for the issue of courier, I really dont have an idea but truth be told, it is better to hit Accra VO yourself and collect the visa rather than go through another round of anxiety waiting for the courier package to arrive

2. No, you dont need to. Visa are usually issued on Monday's but if there is a holiday on Monday in Canada or Ghana, the embassy will not open and want to believe the next day your visa can be picked up.

3. A couple of guys have repeatedly mentioned Assemblies of God Guest House. It takes about 5mins or thereabout walking distance to the embassy.

4. Stamping is done the same day but passport pick-up is usually anytime from between 2-3pm if I can recall the post made by some members that have visited Accra for their visa collection. Flying out is a function of the airline you book with and most people do return same day
Spot on Emperor. There is nothing more to add only that it would have looked nicer without the red :p My thought anyway

Please which of the IELTS test are we taking? Academic or general?
If you are using it for Immigration purpose, then you take General. Academic is for those looking for admission to Universities. I hope am right guys.

The technicalities are not out yet .. The Minister announced that more information will be available next month. For more information http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/notices/2013-03-01.asp OR read below
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Notice – Changes to the Federal Skilled Worker Program
March 1, 2013 – With new criteria for the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) set to take effect in May, many prospective immigrants may already be preparing to apply.

However, future FSWP applicants should be aware that CIC expects to announce three important elements of the FSWP in April that will have an impact on the application process, including:

a cap on the number of applications that will be accepted in the first year;
a new list of priority occupations; and
the organizations that will be designated to conduct educational assessments.
Applicants who prepare their application before this information is announced do so at their own risk. Applications that do not meet the criteria that will be announced in April will not be processed.

On December 19, 2012, Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism Minister Jason Kenney announced significant changes to the FSWP. In addition, the Minister announced that the new FSWP would be opened up for applications on May 4, 2013. A pause on applications, except for those from certain PhD students and those supported by a qualifying job offer, has been in place since July 1, 2012.

Wow I missed the meeting again. I do hope it went well and that the turn out was great. I have not been in Nigeria for a while. By the time the meeting holds in June I would have landed. Hopefully I will join by skype this time around.
Well done to the organisers and thanks to all who were able to attend.
Let's keep the bond.

Cheers all.
