Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[Orlando_Best]

I have a question about sponsoring other relative. I am sponsoring my sister from Nigeria and have done medicals. Do we need to specifically inform the medical office to send the result to the Ghana visa office? or do they do this automatically?

Thanks

I am sure the medical officers know where to send their results to once you present your request document.

hello,
Nope no movement still haven’t received medical request! Imagine. But hubby landed here on trv 2 weeks ago. We thank God

Hey! I’m currently in the process with this for my husband. Did you guys purchase a one way ticket or return? I’m confused on what to do. And how was it for him to come through immigration?

hello house, i ended up emailing vfs ghana because we've been waiting almost 4 weeks for passport return- the resposne was so vague, she said to contact our local vfs for an update-which is nigeria . so now i don't know if it means it hasn't been received in accra high comission or if it's left accra. accra is a really crazy office to be assigned to.

Hello guys,

My wife came to Canada on a trv while her spousal application was in process. Now she got a ppr and has her copr number updated on the online tracker. The PPR request says if you're already in Canada you do not need to submit a passport as the landing will be done virtually but inform the vo within 5 days of the email via webform.
Now I need to send the other requested documents like photo, height, eye color, and approval letter back to AVO but I don't know how to get this through.
VFS is not operational in Canada. Can I use UPS to send these forms to the AVO? I have sent both a webform and email to AVO to inform them that she's already in Canada but there is no response. I have less than 15 days to get this info back to AVO.
Do I need to add a consent form to the package if I decide to send it via UPS?

we purchased return ticket and it was very easy through immigration they only asked him a handful of questions and that was it! Two days later I asked for a refund for the other return ticket

It should give you instructions for virtual landing as well. Meaning what to do if the person is IN canada. Now same thing with us we Informed Them within the 5 days and haven’t heard anything yet. Regardless…virtual landing there’s a waiting queue. What happens when you tell them you want virtual is they have to forward the file back to Canada who will handle the rest and sent portal 1 then portal 2 for virtual landing. Now if you opt to send out your passport do not send it to AVO. It’s 4-6 weeks wait AND to send from Canada will cost you A LOT! You can send it to VFS in New York OR Los Angeles. I personally know a lot of people who have done that in the last month. Make sure you use UPS and follow the directions for using their preferred courier (UPS). After you get back the passport you have to inform yourself of the nearest border crossing and the time they accept flagpoling. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the info @Charbk
I did do as instructed for a person already in Canada. Advised VO within 5 days with name/uci and current address. I thought having done this I still needed to submit the other documents (2 pieces of photo and eye color chart) excluding the passport.

13.Pre-Arrival service letter sent on September 08, 2022(if I tell you emails I sent to both accra visa office, Canada immigration, key officials like MP both in Canada and in Ghana etc, you won't believe) but above all, God was behind pulling the curtains

Question to those whose spouses came to Canada on TRV. How much longer did you wait to get the final decision for the spousal visa? Just because my husband now got the approval for TRV and I will have to sign up for an open work permit for him. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
