Hello Everyone

I am here this day to show appreciation to all the contributors and responders here. I am a silent follower of this thread, but do so religiously. Sometimes ago, someone shared email where one can write to in Singapore to determine where one's application is being processed, I did, and discovered our application was being processed in Windsor, Canada. Thanks to the fellow who shared the info, you were of great help at the point you did.

Another time, someone shared several emails on other matters to get the attention of the VO concerning a trending issue at the time. again, it was really helpful and important for me at the time. Also, i took the advantage, got auto replies that the mails are for internal use only. But it did work for me at the time because the right response was gotten.

Well, for those wondering what the issues are, let me just share the latter part of the story after silence upon silence from IRCC. On May 28, I received 2 mails from IRCC, one was Pre- Arrival Services Letter and the other was tagged Request Letter, with utmost excitement, I opened the Request Letter with the hope and anticipation of finding PPR, but to my surprise, it contained GCMS Notes, including 3rd party details. I was shocked, but of a strong conviction that it was a wrong attachment. I started to pray about it, and began to raise web Forms to get a clarification. Also, i have read from here, if need be, to bombard IRCC with several mails and web forms to get their attention, this I also did. thanks to the fellow who shared this as well.

At exactly 2 months of praying and sending webforms, most especially, the webforms for the internal use gotten from here, i got a mail saying it was a wrong attachment and they are sorry for the error. they also copied one privacy commission, and said I can escalate the errors to them if I so wish........etc. I forgot to mention that I included on the subject, "3rd Party Information". That I think got the desired result and necessary action. It was from here I got the info of how to deal with Web Specific Forms, as I now know where the application is being processed from. Thanks to all for this.

Fast forwarding, got the PPR, sent to Kenya for stamping, returned in 1 week 2 days...and now set.

Once again, thanks to everyone, and i will try to remain on this thread to give back and contribute where necessary. I must add that "Prayers" also played a major part. God still answers prayers. Thanks

There is an IRCC Webform other than the one on your page. It involves stating whether your application is processed within or outside Canada. I hope this helps

Plenty questions in 1. Please pardon me.

Firstly, can I go for police clearance and medicals before submitting my application?

Secondly, can husband and wife do Police clearance/medicals upfront even if only one of them is applying now? Since the secondary applicant will still need them to apply later

Thirdly, how much is police clearance currently? I will also appreciate a contact at the office.

Thank you

It's PPR Time...

Amazing how as at yesterday morning, I was on this platform asking questions about webforms and around 5pm....things had done a 360 and PPR landed

As per normal custom, I'll try and share the timelines I can remember

Entered the express entry pool: 5th Oct'20
ITA: 14th Oct'20
AOR: 30th Dec'20
2021...silence throughout and I didn't even bother to check or follow up because I wasn't ready for it; prayer for me actually was to get it in 2022
remedicals request: Feb 6th 2022
Remedicals done Mar 5th and passed Mar 8th
Raised webform to add new born: 23rd Feb
Got ADR for new born: 24th May
Submitted Documents which included upfront medicals for baby....new POF: 18th May
Baby added to profile: 15th June

SILENCE....called July and they said all documents completely reviewed and cleared except for baby medicals which they did not see (note they did not inform me, so calling was really useful)
Sent emails and webform with documents
Called IRCC again and they said medicals now received by 19th July

SILENCE....I kept sending mails and called 3 times after that date; message still the same....they are reviewing the medicals

I was really getting worried with the delay and even asked a question here whether it's normal for PPR to be delayed

Got a nudge in the spirit on Tuesday Aug 9th to pray specifically about the delay, did my prayers and went to eat
SAME day they update and pass the medicals (I didn't know because I didn't check my profile and was expecting an email notification about profile update), so I still send email reminders on Wednesday and even Yesterday

Decided to check my profile yesterday Aug 11 and was so suprised to see medicals had been passed Aug 9th....while I was still praising God for that....Got the email for the PPR

simple summary....
1. Put all in God's hands
2. do your best in being diligent in follow ups and be honest in your documentation
3. read read read....I got tips from here about finding my VO and calling IRCC

wishing everyone the best in their respective journeys and may it end in praise for us

it's okay for things to sort of overlap in personal history. also feel free to explain further in an LOE for peace of mind. I don't remember because its been a long time but if you do this and try to submit but still get a prompt preventing submission then go back and adjust date.

Accra wasn’t an option for me because I live in Europe so London was the advised office but it’s been almost 4 weeks and nothing yet. They don’t even respond to emails (lol)
I need my passport to go to the US.

Ircc wait times for everything is ridiculous!

Yeah but these trips were planned way before I even got PPR. I am even supposed to be in Venice today but missed it cos IRCC is holding my passport to stamp something they already approved. So annoying.
Same webforms that they don’t even reply until after 3 weeks? �

I think Dublin should be a better option for us in Europe.

For those looking for the visa offices close to them. Not VAC. Google "Canada visa offices outside canada". You have a list of countries and their visa office is listed in front of them. I think each country you send your passport to sends it to the Visa office attached to them. I am not sure.
