@Joenelly, which email address did you use for Hong Kong VO?

Here: hkongimmigration@international.gc.ca

 

[Mike@2019]

No...Accra is still primary VO while Hong Kong is Secondary office now.
Used to be CIO but most files in Accra were moved to HK sometime in Oct 2020 for further processing.

From my last GCMS notes in Nov, my file was moved to HK Oct 14th.

People have been sending them emails and getting real time updates. It seems they process and approve and Accra issues PPR.

Thank you.

Now I'm wondering if my file was also moved to HK. I was suppose to get my notes in the first week of December but I got a 90 days extension sadly.

I may just have to send an email to Accra and HK as well.

You will have to wait for either their instruction (if new medical is required) or approval on the GCKey Account. I believe they have contacted the Regional Medical Office (RMO) for medical extension request. So, they are waiting for their response. RMO will either extend the medical or ask for a new one.

You received very good and detailed response and, in fact, helps me. My medical is expiring end of January and was contemplating to wait or go for remedical. I don't know if mine were extended that's why I ordered GCMS.

@maxo700 anyways, it somewhat good news for you because otherwise you would end up with expired PRV and COPR as Canada is very much likely to extend travel restrictions again.

Hi, It's still been thesame since the last update and now the Accra VO have stopped responding. Do you think it's a good idea to proceed with a new medical test without waiting for any new updates?

Please what number did you call? and did they give you succint details, cos when I called a number like that, they told me to contact my AVO. They didn't give me any other info

I think it depends on the officer. In was given details. I used Canada number to call. Through dingtone

 

[Mike@2019]

Hello everyone. My status online states 'Visa application, tracking ID No..... – Your processed passport is ready for collection , on 2021/01/08 at the Canada Visa Application Centre. Your decision envelope will be returned to you via the courier service offered by the VAC. Collection of decision envelopes in-person at the VAC is not permitted until further notice. Please refer to the “Buy Services” page of the VAC website for further information on courier services offered by the VAC. To know more, please call VAC helpline number or visit VAC website'

Does this mean my passport is at VFS? I've been calling them but they aren't picking their extension. Also for those who have received the passports back from VFS- did VFS send you an e-mail with a courier consent form to fill your return address before you paid for courier? or you just paid their courier fee and sent them payment advice?

I think that's what it means, go to the site they referred you to and pay for your return courier. Please when did you submit your passport?

You do realise that Medicals expire exactly one year from the date you had the tests done, not one year from the date it showed passed on your account.
I learned this from one of the threads here. Also, I noticed this from my own application. My medical status changed to "Not needed" on 19th December. And that's exactly one year after I had the test done. Meanwhile, on my profile, I passed the Medicals on 24th January 2020.

Yes I do, I have actually booked medicals for February 1st ahead cos of availability. so if they ask for remed, I'll be ready.
