Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

I meant CoPR is not counterfoil.
Counterfoil is issued when passport is stamped
CoPR is Copy of PR
I checked it and saw the counterfoil issued then I got the email much later in the day.

What exactly u mean by counterfoil is when passport is stamped? Cuz when I checked, it shows the issuance date and expired date which is 7 months from now, the same date medical expires

I just want to clarify this, counterfoil is basically a message that signifies that your passport has been stamped with the entry visa, the copr( confirmation of permanent residence) is a piece of paper that comes back in the envelope with your already stamped passport and u present both the paper and your passport to the immigration at the point of entry am I right ?

I’ll advise you give them a call or go on their website and track it, also they have a live chat section where u can inquire about your passport and from what I’ve read on here they hardly tell u your passport is ready for pick up, u have to be the one to call and inquire about it I’ll drop the link below that takes you straight to their track your application page

Hi everyone,

I figured I would post my husband’s timeline for spousal sponsorship/permanent residency, in the hopes it would help others who are in similar situations we were in.
I am sponsoring my husband who is Lebanese but resides in Lagos, Nigeria. Because of his residency our application is being handled by the Accra VO.

Submitted application: 23/02/2019
AOR: 25/02/2019
Biometrics request: 26/03/2019 -Note: we never received the letter for biometric request and there was no request on either ECAS or GCKey and on the proline is it said biometrics were not needed. There were no email, and no physical letter sent. But because I knew that biometrics were needed I contacted the VO and was told to submit biometrics at VAC Lagos on October 2, 2019. So please if after a month of submitting application you don’t receive the request for biometrics make sure to enquire Through webform about the letter.
File Transferred to Accra: 27/03/2019
Sponsor Approval: 27/03/2019
Medical Request: 27/07/2019
Medicals Submitted: 08/08/2019
Medicals Passed: 10/08/2019
Biometrics submitted: 02/10/2019
PPR: 22/01/2020 - he submitted to Lagos VAC and did not need an appointment. Only his passport and photos we required.
PP Submitted: 23/01/2020
Counterfoil/Approval: 05/02/2020

We are now waiting for his passport and CoPR to come to the VAC in Lagos for pickup so he can land soon!
This has been a long journey and hope that everyone hears good news soon.
God bless.

Congratulations
