This's what my timeline says...so that means i'm pass the 1 yr mark then..because today is September 26.so its been 1yr and 6 days?just want to be should before i start calling them or emailing them.so that means the counter down start from when they received your application?not when they started processing it?just need some classifications
  1. We received your application for permanent residence on September 20, 2016.
  2. We started processing your application on November 7, 2016.
The processing time for Nigeria is currently 17 months and I think 16 months for Ghana so calling them might not be very helpful like we have come to discover. however you can feel free to continue updating your file with new information through the webform or Accra email address. yes, they count starting from when your documents are first received so your application is one year old. mine would be one year old in exactly a weeks time. we can only keep being hopeful.

Congratulations. Seems like they really are keeping to a timeline now. Wondering if this process is automated now.
Thank you. Yeah... I feel like it is... The trend I'm noticing with 2017 applicants is that we receive the request for medicals (exactly or almost) 5 months after we submit our application. I might be wrong.

congratulations! at least something is happening, from my observation it seems it takes them an average of 4-5 months after AOR1 to request for medicals. Still waiting for mine. Fingers crossed.
Thank you. Yeah it seems to be 5 months after they receive our application/4 months after AOR1.

Please has anyone had their medicals done at IOM Lagos? What was your experience like? It's literally next door to me so it's very convenient but I'd like to what your experience(s) was/were... if any. Thanks.

all you need do is call them and the customer care would ask you when is convenient to do your medicals , after which you would be asked to do the booking by sending them a mail of your details which comprises of the data page of your passport and date you want the medical done, after that call them and tell them you have done that they will review your email and give you the amount you need to pay and date , then you most be there very early if you want to avoid the queue and delays.

I saw on another forum.... an Accra applicant, who said he submitted application May and he said medicals was sent through mail to his post office in July but didn't get the mail till September because he called CIC for update and they told him they already mailed medicals to him
