Good morning guys, I just got my eligibility passed this morning. But what is confusing is that they said i am responsible for sending my oversea dependents application to Accra within the next 90 days. I have always heard that they forward the spouse documents to the visa office oversea. I have already sent my spouse documents which includes The forms, marriage cert, Birth cert, Police report and Passport to IRCC. Is it normal for me to send to Accra visa office which is responsible for her processing? Please i need response

Please did your add-on spouse fill a totally new form? When filling her generic, was it filled as if she is the main applicant or dependant?

You need to send the forms to the responsible office yourself.

Your overseas 18+ need to fill the forms and sign them also verify them as she/he finishes before printing them out and sending them to responsible office.

Forget what you heard and just do what they said you should do. Look at the letter IRCC sent to you, and you will see that they asked all your dependant above 18 years to fill and sign
1. Generic Application form IMM 0008
2. Schedule A background/ declaration form
3. Additional family information form
and also Police Character Certificate
Marriage certificate if spouse and birth certificate if children
then a copy of data page of dependant international passport
And importantly must include a copy of the eligibility letter IRCC sent to you.
Let your dependant whatever country they are mail everything i just mentioned through DHL or UPS courier to

High Commission of Canada
Migration Section
42 Independence Avenue
Arko Adjei Interchange
Accra, Ghana.
Track the package until it get to the embassy and signed delivered, wait for 2 weeks then raise a webform to inquire from IRCC if they received your dependants application and they will reply you that they have and they will contact you if they need any additional information. I have passed through this road before that is why I am sharing this information.

Waaaaoooo.... Thanks a million for this detailed information.
Please I was filling the forms yesterday but got confused.
1. Should I fill the generic form and put myself as the main applicant why my oversea spouse as my dependant or she will be the main applicant?

2. If i fill her as the main applicant, under which programme and category will she be applying?

3. Her Police certificate i sent to IRCC before in April have expired. Is she to do another or still send the expired one?

4. They also sent a biometrics request letter for her which contains UCI Number and Application number. Should I use that UCI number for her generic form or use My UCI number?

Please your response is highly needed so that I can finish filling her form.

Any updates on your spouse’s application? @KatbiyaNazi
How long does it take to get medical request after ADR and Biometric? And after medical how long does it take to ask for passport for visa stamping? @Ex ツ
Thanks,
Bro as i have observed throughout this forum, the majority of the members including katibya, got their medical after a month of submitting the ADR, so its been almost a month since i submitted the adr, but nothing yet, so im optimistic to receive it before EID.
and the second question is im not sure when they will issue PPR after medical, because they might ask for updated PCC, or forms, its a matter of time…!!

Heyy,, ill try to answer based on my experience,
1:you are not the main applicant anymore/ principle applicant, its your spouse. So put him/her as an main applicant
2:i am afraid i dont have answer to this question…. :(
3: did they ask for the PCC? If yes you need to submit it (NEW PCC)if no, there is no need they will ask in the future.
4: your UCI was useful when your spouse didnt had one, but now when they have a UCI, put theirs not yours.
GG.
