How many people are you sponsoring? This process is taking too long.. I dont understand why we do not have our applications processed in our different countries of origin. It is just annoying to see people from china and other parts of the world get their PR request and all... They should have just kept my file in Misissauga or just request the medicals already.

My mum did her biometrics on Oct 7th, and still showing in her online profile that they have not received her fingerprint. What's really going on with Accra office. I think if we can all send the immigration minister a message via twitter or which ever means like the Asians do then we might get noticed.

Your thoughts.

Hello everyone, I'm from 2018, with some knowledge of 2017 PGP apps. Not to discourage anyone, but the general trend for Accra is to send medical request, police certificate request and passport request together at about the one year mark of receiving the application from Canada.
The official processing time for PGP is 2 years so, some patience is required. But who knows, 2019 could be different

Well thats good to know. - Thanks a lot @BeeA - Are we counting one year from when Application was submitted to Ottawa or When Accra received the application?

I learnt that since Nov 2. PR applicants from Nigeria are no longer asked to send passports to Accra, Ghana and that stamping of Visa is now done at the Lagos Embassy.

Has anyone submitted there passport(s) to the Lagos Embassy through VFS and gotten it back since the commencement of this? If yes, kindly let us know how long the whole process took
