Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[AnneMariee]

Happy New Month, guys. Any July/August applicants still waiting? It's about time for ppr's to start rolling in. It is crazy how family class gets the highest processing time though. My sister and her family applied through express entry in January and they got their visa's April 5th. 3 months. Same Accra office. Hopefully things speed up for us too. Here's hoping.. Anyway, almost there guys. Let's keep the faith.

I'm looking to apply for my niece for this express entry. I just don't know how to go about it very much.

congratulation for the news from Accra but just relax and focus on what you doing because with this Accra office start processing an application is like playing a soft music to make you fall asleep.

thanks bbccanada, still not as excited since we have no idea how long it would take from now. its so funny how two - three years ago, Accra was so fast. my friend's application was submitted, processed and husband arrived in just 4 months. that really gave me hope until now.
but still keeping fingers crossed.

I am July applicant and got a message to redo my medicals. It expired in January so I believe there's hope.. let's keep praying for more good news.

@joshwife, Please which date did you receive an email to redo medicals?

I hope good news is right around the corner for you.

May I ask which exact day you applied and when you got sponsor approval?

Dear xxxx:

Congratulation, I am very glad for you and your family! I also wish everyone waiting to hear similar good news very soon. So now according to my experience the visa office goes according to the date the application was filled not the date it was transfer.

Thank you for sharing this information with us very useful indeed. I think it would have been better to tell you what stage the application is at the moment than just say the application is in queue for review which is very general.
