Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[becos]

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.

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.

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.

I know exactly how you feel sista. I'm praying for a reunion for all july/august/September applicants by June this year!

Praying this is a week of good news...

P.s. does anyone in toronto know how much the yellow fever injection costs?

Ohh I didn't realize you had applied before then, I mixed that up from our previous conversation. In a way it's better that you didn't do it... you'll probably save money. Ours expires in five weeks, there is no way they won't make us remedial at this rate. we thought we would have our app in by the end of June when we did the medical at the end of May last year, however it took us a little longer getting a few documents together than we thought and didn't get it out until the end of August. it seems that happens to a lot of people. Not many are organized enough to do the medical the day before they apply lol

I'm kinda glad I didn't do it upfront cos I would hate to pay again to get another one done.
I hope you get a response soon. Thanks for your response
