Hi all, I was an active member in the former group.

I tried reading through the 30 pages, but was forced to share my testimony the moment I came across this.

I started my application on 23rd Aug, 2014, by Dec 20, 2014 my application was sent to ACCRA for further processing.

To cut the long stories short, I just received my passport request this last December. Accra is very very slow.

I applied as a single bachelor, within the moment of waiting, I already got married and my child is almost 3.

Thanks

If you still decide to use IRCC address, this will suffice:

Centralized Intake office,
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship,
Sydney NS,
Canada

The P.O.Bs and postal codes are different for different offices within the IRCC Sydney complex.

TravelRe: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by joo2018(op):
A lot of people carry their money in cash and open accounts when they land.

However if you choose to use the bank approach:

1. You already have a Canadian bank account.
a. Use your Nigerian domiciliary account to transfer. You will get the Swift code for your Canadian bank together with the bank code and your account number and give to your Nigerian bank to use and effect an FX wire/funds transfer for you from your Nigerian dom account to your Canadian account (here).
b. Use international money transfer bodies to transfer from your regular Nigerian account to your Canadian account.

2. You don't have a Canadian bank account.
I think RBC (Royal bank of Canada) is the only bank with which a non-yet-landed permanent resident can completely open an account from abroad. With some of the other banks, you can start the opening remotely but will need to land to complete the opening.
For RBC, go to their site (here) and contact them. They will explain you the process to transfer your money. However, I believe you only be able to access your money when you land.

Modified: NBC (National bank of Canada) also opens bank accounts for newcomers before landing. Check here

Which letters had Nigerian Canadian address?


Mimi1999:
Good morning guys. I am having sleepless nights wit my application. This is because my reference letter from one of my employers doesn’t have any email address to be contacted just phone numbers. This same employer didn’t give any pay slips or offer letter for the duration I was there. So I only submitted the letter with just letter head, stamp, signature and nothing else. I am worried it may delay my processing.
I recently thought of printing my statement of account for the last 3months and sending to IRCC as well as his personal email address but I don’t know how to go about it. Also, my letters all had a Nigerian Canadian address in Lekki. I suspect it’s the vfs office. Please, any ideas? Everything else checks. AOR IS DECEMBER 31st.

You don't have to submit your NYSC bank statements with your application.

If you get an ADR for your NYSC bank statements, you will submit what you have and use a LOE to explain the way you just did here.

Prettiepearlz:
Thank you, but I think there is another problem, my discharge certificate says 24th November, 2016 to 24th October 2017. But due to the stream 1&2 process, I was in stream 2 and didn’t go to camp until January 24th and we passed out in December 2017. So due to this, I got my first payment in February which as we all know is by cash. So my Nysc bank statement reads March till December when we got the double payments for December and January. So also my ministry of health allowance started from March. How do I explain this as my bank statement doesn’t correlate with the dates on my discharge certificate? Please provide a email address where I can reach you, please I would appreciate that. Thanks

TravelRe: Canadian Express Entry/federal Skilled Workers Program- Connect Here Part 6 by joo2018: 7:08pm On Jan 19, 2019
Some musings.

The instances of several people who requested PPR mail from NDVO getting other fresh PPR mails seem to confirm a hypothesis I had about applicants whose applications were approved but forwarded back from Ottawa to CIO without PPR mail.

Here it is: There was a decision to delay issuing of PPR mails because EE Permanent Residence admissions target had been met early for 2018. Delaying PPR mails into Dec 2018 and Jan 2019 meant that people would be forced to land in 2019. Given that Ottawa is the largest office and appears to handle at least 60% of applications, it made sense to restrict the policy to Ottawa. So approved files were forwarded to CIO to be held in a bank. PPR mails for those applications will be triggered in batches at scheduled periods from late December to January 2019.

In practice, NDVO was not involved in the decision. Indians who got PPR from NDVO in Nov/Dec were unlikely to land in 2018 anyway. But through online forums like canadavisa, people got to know of the loophole and it appears as if NDVO has some sort of autonomy anyway. So they began issuing PPRs to every Tom, Dick and Harry who asked as long as the application has been approved.

So, people got the PPRs and Nigerian residents forwarded their passports to Accra. Accra which always follow due process (I hail o!). So Accra has been holding people's passport till the appointed time without issuing CoPR. However, the time period in for the delayed applications has been triggered and so there has been automated release of PPR mails (without visa office specified) for those involved.

Prediction: The repeat PPR mail for some (could be a programming error) will continue until the batched applications have all received PPRs or the automated program turned off. Meanwhile Accra will start releasing passports en-mass from now.
