Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[bbccanada]

Can someone please give me a reliable and reasonable person or officer contact to do Police Clearance Certificate Nigeria? I will really appreciate.
Thanks all.

Brother or sister since I am from Ghana I don't have anything to offer you but I will advice you to personally go to the police office to fill out the form and follow the proper procedure. My wife's case would have been finished if it wasn't the mistake we did by allowing someone we believe was a reasonable person to handle our documentation so please if you are not in Nigeria make sure you send someone you really know to go there in person for you but do not just take a phone number to call someone you never met for such a document.

Hey Butterfly girl.Happy Belated birthday. May it be the last one you spend alone. are you prepared too for an interview? At times in some cases, visa officers call the sponsor as well to ensure the information provided in the interview from the applicant is adjacent to what he is saying. I blv you two should take time to go over everything to ensure a smooth, comfortable process and they would not be too much delay in issuing a final decision towards your case. I wish you and your partner all the best of luck ok. Have a great weekend too.

Thanks TeamCMOR
You are such a positive and caring person. May God bless you.

So my package took 3 days to make it. Now just the wait for interview. My husband will answer all questions from heart. I know that it shall go smooth. I just pray we have a compassionate officer to conduct the interview and approve him.
How is everyone else doing?

Hi,

Its nice to have found this page! I applied for a study permit in accra and wanted to ask, how long does it take for one to find out if they need to attend an interview after you send in your application. My initial page after application says I do not need an interview but they will contact me if that changes....is that a sign that i may not need an interview or that is how the application appears initially before they book an interview date for you? my other question is i took my medicals upfront like a week before i applied but under medicals, my application page just says I dont need medicals but it doesnt say whether I passed the medicals or not. the clinic said it takes 3 days for the results to be available to the embassy so shouldn't it have shown up by now?

thanks.

Hello Members,

I have a quick question for you? My wife did her medical on Dec 6 2016 therefore does that means that if her case is being finalized before the medical expire means she has to travelled before the medical expires on Dec 6 2017? I am asking this because buying a flight ticket in Dec is very expansive at least your response will give me some idea. Thanks in advance

from experience my answer is yes. However some cases the Visa office can give you an extension of 2 to 3 months after your initial due date. I don't know under which circumstances each case is different.

Our app marks 8 months of processing today. I'm packing for an out of country wedding with all of my friends and their spouses... I will be the only single one there. Missing my husband so much. As the weather gets nicer, I pray he gets here soon to enjoy the beautiful warmth of Canada. Maybe while I'm away this week good news will reach us all.

@TeamCmor, thanks for your feed beck! I really appreciate and I hope everyone gets their visas before the medical expires.

@becos,I really feel your pain and if you look at my last post I was asking if the visa expires when the medical expires because I really wish my wife would be here in the summer or maybe in the fall which I believe is the best time to receive your family here in Canada with so much activities going on. But according to the way things are at the moment my wife's medical expires in Dec 6 hence if everything goes well with in the 12 months processing then my wife will arrival around the winter which I know would be tough for her but if it happens no choice.

Please is there anyone who didn't do upfront medical? I want to know how long before cic requested for one to be done. Thanks and awaiting a response from someone.

Thanks bbc. I hear you. So much nicer to come when it's warm ish in Canada, rather than the winter. I pray that you hear in time for at least a fall arrival.
I think what's weighing on me is just that life is going by and I'm missing sharing these moments with my husband. It's been two and half years now of being apart. I'm so ready to restart our lives. Anyways, I know everyone is feeling this way. Sending strength to everyone.

Hi Mimikoms, most people would applied before Dec 15th 2016 would have done an upfront medical or did it at SA/file transfer. It's only those who applied after Dec 15th who cannot do an up-front medical, and have to wait for CIC to request one. Therefore, it cannot really be determined how long it will take for you to be asked. I can imagine it won't be for a while, and probably not until right before they want to issue PR, that is my assumption, as the medical can be done and received by CIC immediately and your visa is good for a year from the date you do your medical. Anyone who was asked for a re-medical (as their's expired before PPR was given) did so and heard from CIC within the week about their PPR. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you. Really you'll just have to wait and see what happens with other people's applications as those who applied after December 15th start to hear from CIC about their applications.

Am curious.. where did you hear this from? I am sorry I do not know the answer to this however try asking on the September 2016 Outland page. Be mindful of what you "hear". Am not saying is not credible nor am i saying it is. but some things we should take as a grain of salt. Am sure someone would be able to clarify this issue as what we hear sometimes does not apply to all.

This is definitely wrong.
If your husband has a valid residency or temporary residency in USA, he will be required to submit his passport to the AVO in USA , when the AVO in Ghana is done with his application.
I live in Canada on a different visa category at the moment, but when my PPR comes, I'll have to submit my passport to the immigration office here and not Ghana. As regards the Port of entry, it doesn't matter where he takes his flight from.
Hope this helps

Thanks @becos. I applied before December 15th but wasn't aware I could do medical school and I wasn't on this wonderful forum then. Thanks for the response, it sure helped.
