Hi everyone,
AVO asked that I pay for RIGHT OF PERMANENT RESIDENCE FEE for me and my spouse and APPLICATION FOR PERMANENT RESIDENCE FEE for our new born.

Questions:
1) Should the bank draft be raised differently?
2) From the fee guide, I deduced that the right of permanent residence fee is CAN$490/person and Application for permanent residence fee is CAD$150 for a new born. Am I correct?
3) I do not have a domiciliary account, how can I get a bank draft raised in foreign currency?

I will anticipate your kind reply.

Dear Nairalanders
With deep sense of gratitude to God and to y'all, I announce that my passport and that of all my family members was received through courier and we have been offered the visa and by extension the permanent residence credentials.
Just to thanks you all especially solomonwise, Damkollins, fermadiko and others who stayed on and kept enlightening everyone inspite of all the disagreements and silly questions. It was indeed a long and anxious wait that was worth every moment because of you guys.
Thanks once again to everyone and wishing everyone successful application and indeed a happy xmas and prosperous new year.

God bless Nairalanders!
God bless Nigeria!!
God bless Canada!!!

kemiakinss:
Hi damkollins, pls I need an advice, I just got my bank draft from royal bank of Canada for the purpose of the on going fsw but a mistake was made on the draft, the bank draft was issued IFO of Receiver general of Canada instead of receiver general for Canada, can this pose a threat to cashing of the money. I would have raised another draft but the year is almost ending and before it gets shipped back to Nigeria might just take a while.
Pls, I need a response asap on this subject. Anybody in the house can respond.
Thank you so Zeelo much. I'm kind of assured that the issue of "of and for" is nothing to worry about.

Jetspeed:
Hi All, iam unable to get reference letters from my past employers. What do I do?

yomfad:
Make una see my selection factor: Noc 1212

IELTS (18) L 6.0, R6.0,W6.5,S6.5. = 18
Age (35) = 12
Experience (6yrs) = 15
Education (BSc)already assessed by wes. = 21
Total = 66

The only option is to increase my IELTS score by rewriting it or asking my wife to make it up for me.

Meritl:

Congrats.
Almost there..........
(BTW, did they call your employers for refence confirmation). So that I properly alert my bosses especially one that knows me by a nick name.

damkollins:
If you look very well.....both addresses are the same.
I assume you are sending your documents through Courier service.
If you are sending it through courier service,the "P.O.Box 1639" in the address is needless as courier service is not meant to deliver to a post office box.
Courier Service are meant to hand-deliver to recipient physically which is why the other address is the most useful one.
The address below is the preferred choice for courier service

Immigration Program|Programme d'immigration (KAS)
High Commission of Canada| Haut Commissariat du
42,Independence Avenue,
Accra,Ghana.


The "P.O.Box 1639" is correct too but its for registered post mail to post office.
Cheers.

ifechukwukamso:

Thanks Solo for the address
I have a domiciliary account and a functioning token.
I have gone through the GTB online platform.
I saw draft in transit but I think its for only naira draft
Am not currently in 9ja so I cannot fund my naira account but my dollar account has enough for the draft.
I called my account officer in gtb and he said I can only do for naira draft online. He said becos of fraud they only do foreign currency draft in person.
So I guess I have to raise it when I get back.
Thanks again

solomonwis:

YES, you can raise the bank draft from GT Bank online platform and you have a list of branches all over the country where you can pick the draft up from either by yourself or by proxy (detailed on the platform).

For the CAD bank draft,all you need are:

1. A GT Bank Domiciliary account (fully funded)

2. A Token hardware

You can raise the bank draft at the comfort of your home/office by following the simple instruction on the platform.

All information requested from the Accra visa office has to be sent via post mail (preferably via courier)...DHL seems to be their preferred courier company (That is not to say you can't make use of others).

The address is:

Immigration Program | Programme d'immigration (KAS)
High Commission of Canada | Haut commissariat du Canada
P.O. Box 1639
42 Independence Ave., Accra, Ghana

Phone | Tél.: +233 (030) 2211521
Fax | Téléc: +233 (030) 2211524

solomonwis:

If you have a GT Bank account (domiciliary),you can raise the draft on the online platform in Canadian Dollar and request the pick up branch to be one of the pick up branches in Benin. You don't have to physically visit the bank to do this. Just get a domiciliary account,go to your online platform and raise the draft...As simple as that (I know this to be true of GT Bank).

damkollins:
Patriotic Nigerian !
Please ....i sent a mail to you ....respond .
Cheers.

damkollins:
I'm familiar with Gtbank in raising draft.
You need to have a domiciliary account with them and fund your account with equivalent amount of draft you want to raise.
You can now instruct them to raise the draft in Canadian dollars and give them the recipient details.
After funding your account....you can raise your draft within 3 hours.
Where is your location in Nigeria?
Cheers.

solomonwis:

Quoting from the Accra Visa Office website...

"... The Canadian High Commission in Accra accepts fees in Canadian dollars, U.S. dollars, and Ghanaian cedis. Processing fees are non-refundable regardless of the outcome of the application.
Correct fees must be paid when submitting the application or the application will not be accepted.
Fees are non-refundable, except for Right of Permanent Residence Fee. RPRF is refundable if refused or not landed.
Fees are subject to change without notice.
Method of Payment

Only the following forms of payment, in Ghanaian, U.S. or Canadian funds, are acceptable:

Certified Cheque
Bank Draft
*** Note: We do not accept personal cheques

Bank Draft and Certified Cheques:

Payment to be made by bank draft or certified cheque.
Cedi payments are payable to "The Canadian High Commission".
If you are paying in Canadian dollars, the bank draft or certified cheque should be addressed to the Receiver General for Canada and should be cleared on a Canadian bank.
If you are paying in US dollars, the bank draft or certified cheque should be addressed to the Receiver General for Canada and should be cleared on an American bank.
Important: Bank drafts and certified cheques have a limited validity. Ensure that your bank draft or certified cheque is not older than 4 months for Canadian and American Bank drafts and 6 months for Ghanaian Bank drafts when it reaches our office.

http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/ghana/visas/fees-frais.aspx

You can raise a bank draft IFO The receiver General for Canada in Canadian dollar from Guaranty Trust Bank for all fees as requested.

As mentioned by damkollins,your medical form should be in your mail a maximum of 48 hours after the medical instruction.

Congratulations!

damkollins:
Congrats for your medical request .
Don't worry....the forms will be sent to you within or after 24hours.....be checking your mails...it will surely come.
On the mode of payment.......I'm presuming Accra is your local visa office so my response is referencing to Accra visa office.
Accra don't seems to accept online payment for RPRF .....they accept only Bank drafts or Certified cheques in Ghanian ,US or Canadian funds (currencies).The processing fee of 150CAD for your new born too will follow same mode as listed above .
Please check the link below to confirm what i said......
http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/ghana/visas/fees-frais.aspx
I'm sure the address to send the draft to will be contacted in your mail....or check the website with other forms to be updated.
Cheers.

Here is the link https://dmp-portal.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/case-cas-eng.aspx?mission=accra

I understand the link has been down for sometime ( the same case with most of the visa offices CSE). As back up,you can send a mail to this email: accra.immigration@international.gc.ca

almaliki: lol.....a lil comic relief on d thread eh.......

so..... from my latest correspondence with my case officer........really dunno know how they do it........but these guys verify every single damn thing........bottom line they've been doing sum background checks on me....and they contacted linkedin 2 verify my profile,work experience,bla bla bla.......(mind u my linkedin profile was a private profile not public).......they screen printed d page & attached it 2 d mail sent 2 me...........they wanted explanations about some components of my job description which i purposely left out in my app form........

secondly they were like i didn't notify them about the change in career/job which i was supposed 2 have done ASAP.... even when am still on probation in my new place of work......

thirdly they called my bank 2 verify if d cash is sitting in my acc..........unfortunately i had only 20k in dat acc.......so they wanted clear explanations as per my source of funds.......


bottom line.....these cats verify every single damn thing.....from ur facebook profile 2 linkedin profile or jobsearch boards, social media, and work experience........so be careful with what u place online about urself.

cap28:

Have you heard of the US owned world bank? Do you know how they operate in Africa, how about the European owned IMF - are you aware that they make billions of dollars from the interest generated from lending money to third world nations ?

Nigeria could have been the leader of the black world had it not been for Europe and America who have worked day and night to keep Nigeria backward and underdeveloped - the west do not want any black nation to ever rise and compete with them because they know that Africa holds all of the world's resources and if allowed to develop unhindered will become a threat to their position as economic world powers.

Nigeria could easily have the kind of health care service that the UK has but the IMF have made sure that we spend more paying the interest on loans borrowed from their corrupt banks than we spend on educating our own people. When you talk about the corruption of our leaders always trace back and find out how those leaders got into those positions in the first place, who is responsible for making sure that Nigeria would only be ruled by the north - Britain. who armed the north against the igbos who tried to secede from the corrupt british created entity known as Nigeria - Britain, who financed and assisted IBB into power - Britain - do you think this same Britain who has done everything possible to keep you backward will ever allow you to prosper? Why is IBB not in prison for the crimes he committed against the Nigerian people? why have all the crooks that have been ruling Nigeria for years been allowed to get away with their crimes ? How come genuine people who try to make a difference in Africa always end up six feet under?

solomonwis:
Whatever change that has occurred since you received your PER can always be communicated with your case officer. You can contact your case officer at anytime during the process as soon as you know who your case officer is.

Of course they don't expect your circumstance to be static all through the process,so whatever it is that has changed MUST be communicated and the appropriate documentation of the changes forwarded as soon as demanded by your case officer.
