Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

Quick question for those who have gotten their visas. If you were asked for remedicals, were you able to tell when your results go to AVO from your GC account or ECAS without sending AVO any proof? Im asking because the hospital (ABUJA CLINICS), said there is no proof of remedicals for me because I came with an IME form and they only have proof for those doing upfront medicals.

Never mind the question above. My GC account just changed to "You passed the medicals"

Thanks

No its not. If you are a permanent resident or citizen, You cant file for a work permit for your spouse if she is outside Canada. If you have a work permit in Canada, then you can file for a work permit for your spouse who is outside Canada to join you. It takes only 5 months and your wife will be given the same amount of time you have on your work permit which can be renewed later of course.

Spousal sponsorship is when one spouse who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident sponsors the other spouse who is not. If neither of you are at least permanent resident of Canada, you cannot immigrate by spousal sponsorship.

Thanks for pointing the difference out to me, 5 months, that is pretty fast and cool.

Oh this year. 2017.

So if you got AOR in Sep of 2016, I’m guessing you applied in August?

I got AOR on the same day I applied.
I got ITA sometime in June or July

Surely that is impossible

ITA- Invitation to Apply? - that will be Express Entry then, not spousal sponsorship. Wrong thread. Also I think when passport is submitted, it goes elsewhere and pickup mail timeline might be different?
