Specify what kind of work(s) you are doing and have been doing since then. Do not use acronyms. Make sure you do not leave any gap in time. Indicate all addresses since you reached the age of 18. Make sure you do not leave any gap in time. You must declare if you have been refused any visa or immigration applications in the past from any country. Failure to comply may result in a refusal of your application.

☐ Updated family information: you must advise us of any change in your marital status or family composition. All family members must be listed on your IMM8 application form. Failure to comply may result in a delay in the issuance of your visa.

Note: Please ensure that all the requested documentation is submitted WITH your passport, not after you have already submitted your passport.

The visa(s) will be valid until the expiry of your medical results or until the expiry of your passports, whichever is earliest. You must be able to travel before the expiry of your visa(s).



As the validity of your visa(s) has been already established and is limited to a fixed date, it CANNOT be extended under any circumstances. We therefore urge you to read and follow carefully the instructions below without delay.

PASSPORT(S)



You are asked to submit your passport(s) and documentation BY COURIER within 15 days. We recommend DHL courier, using a pre-paid return envelope.

You may use the services of VFS Global Nigeria by following the instructions on their website at:

http://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/Nigeria/ under the “Passport Transmission Services” section. If you received a letter requesting additional documents, please use a courier service.



Please note that submission of passport(s) in person will not be accepted at the Canadian High Commission.





PLEASE NOTE: Failure to provide the required travel document(s) within 15 days from the date of this letter will lead us to conclude that you are no longer interested in immigrating to Canada and your application will be refused based on the information that is available in your file. Once the application is refused, you would be able to reapply, but you would be required to submit a new application and pay a new processing fee. The new application would be assessed according to the Canadian Immigration legislations in force at the time that the new application was filed.



Please note that we will strive to meet the foregoing service standards. There may, however, be occasions when we cannot issue your visas within these standards. Accordingly, you are advised not to commit to any travel plans, purchase tickets, or take any irrevocable action such as selling property, or resign employment until you have received your immigrant visas.

☐ PASSPORTS. Check that:

There is an individual passport for each family member accompanying you to Canada. Children must have their own passports.
Each passport is valid for at least 6 months from the time you come for the visa.
Each passport has sufficient free pages (two required for our visa, plus pages for any transit visa)

☐ TWO (2) PHOTOS FOR EACH FAMILY MEMBER: These photographs must be taken with a WHITE BACKGROUND, not be stapled, glued or pinned (you can paperclip or attach them using an envelope). The photographs must be unblemished as they will be used to produce your Permanent Resident Card once you are in Canada.

Photograph specifications can be found at:



www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf

Because of the expired passport, request for time extension and attach a copy of the expired passport as evidence. Fill other forms they requested and get a new PCC, the one submitted in 2015 is long expired. Get new medicals as those are only valid for a year. Attach the receipt for the RPRF you paid since 2015, that's still valid. Follow up the passport renewal by 'settling the boys', the passport will them come out quicker.

Ehrnie:
Can someone please help answer this my 'out of the box' questions -

(1) Under normal circumstances (i.e. all documents submitted accurately and correctly), what's the maximum processing time for the PR application? I mean the time from AOR to PR issued...?

(2) When IRCC request for passport, how long do they hold on to it for...weeks / months?

Many thanks!

1) Official answer = We expect to process most applications for permanent residence through the Express Entry system in six months or less, after we get a complete application.
UnOfficial answer = It varies, but my guess is 4 months.

There are Passport booklets at the moment. It will only cost you more but I think you should visit the nearest Passport Office with a copy of this letter so they can see the urgency as well. You can get your passport in 3days. The others ones I'm sure you can handle. I dnt know how you will prove that you have paid though because 2015 is such a long time. Maybe your bank can come in here. All the best.

It costs 1200 Cedis. It takes between 4 to 10 days and you need someone in Ghana to apply on your behalf

Kathyjex:
My senior in da house greetings. Please has anyone gotten PCC from Ghana? What are the details? Any contact person? What's the cost? How long does it take to be ready?

Thanks

You have to call and pay if need be and also give them the address and ur reference number

bbaby84:
Hi,
Did you have to call your school in the UK for them to send the transcripts and did you have to pay?
We are using WES but I just want to get the general idea especially for those with UK qualifications. .
We've sent the certificates but haven't contacted the schools as I was assuming they'll send an email to the school.

happymumtobe:
It took a week...just google Ghana police report or get to the site from cic page..it cost 300dollars when I did mine about 149K in naira...you will have to get someone in Ghana to go collect it for you and then scan to you.

Hi @happymumtobe pls what was the name written on your Ghanaian police report? The CIC website says the name of the document to get is 'Police Clearance Certificate' but the one my friend sent to me has 'Criminal Check' on it. I just want to confirm its the same thing cos I read on another forum where someone was rejected because he submitted the wrong police report.

Thanks

mukhtar4u:
Hello good people, I am getting afraid with this POF stuff by the day, I want to be sure if it is allowed for a friend to write gift deed for me, will be acceptable? What is the format of this letter and does it have to be notarized?

Thanks.

Please, anyone to say something on this?

[quote author=Cachez post=55744977][/quote]Go to your passport office and talk to someone there. A friend got his passport recently for 50k.

Fusion23:
Hi sorry I didnt use any letter of explanation on Proof of Funds, had the money for 6months.

Oh...Thanks.

If d duration is up to 2 years, it should not affect it.

Najm:
Thanks a lot..the mba was part time by the way, does it affect my points?

Relax!!! No need to worry, FSW Outland gets medicals passed from 40 to 60 days as shown from recent trends. I got my medicals passed after 43 days. Submitted my application feb 28th and passed medicals on the 12th of April

Ehrnie:
Oh wow - now, I'm getting worried. So, I went for my medicals on the 16th of March and I requested a copy of my results when completed. This was sent to me on the 27th of March. Submitted e-Apr 31st March & got AOR almost immediately. I just checked my CIC account and the section "Review of Medical Results" still reads "You do not need a medical Exam".

Apparently nothing has changed since (approximately 3 weeks) I completed my medical. Is this normal? Any one experienced or experiencing this? I will double check with the hospital today to make sure they have sent all they have to send to IRCC.

MummyJaygirls:
u will post or fax copies of ur bsc cert or masters

How can I explore the fax option for iqas?

Please, anyone to say something on this?

Yes ur friend can give you.

temitope06:
Read up guys, I know we all basking in the low ITA scores but realise that the process will now become very slow and will be scrutinised heavily. Make sure all d info u submit tallies with ur profile. They will reject over the most flimsy mistake so check and recheck and recheck ur application. And after doing that, guess what you have to do again? Yes, Recheck. A guy got rejected for forgetting to submit BSc when WES for the BSc was submitted. Common sense will tell the asswipe VO that he simply forgot and could be asked to submit, na rejection straight. VOs are now the new bastards so no mistakes. Use the LOE to ur advantage explain everything, if u be guy explain why ure a guy. POF is one of the main reasons why ppl get rejected, don't forget ur gift deed if someone is giving you the money. Other reasons are not attaching education certificates including WES and IELTS, job duties on your ref letter, not getting the appropriate pcc (we don't have this probs just get one from Alagbon). Once you submit, my advice is focus on something else, work, babes, guys, video games etc. If you start checking your profile every minute, BP go don blow b4 PPR show. Be patient. God help us all.

Me, I no send Canada again. They shd do whatever they want, their Papa.

Guy u hv more info than we post Aor. I think for certificate upload post ITA it has to be your actual certificate. You are right though the VO shd have requested for his certificate. Maybe your friend shd appeal. How long does it take to deny an application?

mukhtar4u:
Please, anyone to say something on this?

It ll probably be better from a relation
