I received a letter from IRCC to send forms IMM0008, IMM5406 and IMM5669 with other documents like birth cert, marriage cert, police cert, copy of biographical page of passport of my dependent family members outside Canada to Accra visa office in Ghana. My question is i have all this document ready but i don't know the method to send them to Accra visa office, is it my post UPS or DHL, is it by email and scan all documents and email to them or is it by webform. please i need help on this information ASAP. Anybody who had sent to Accra visa office please help me with this information. THANKS

Hello friends. Hope you are doing great. Sorry I have a question. I want to apply for refugee ( changing religion ) and O wanted to know how long does it take to get health care and sin number and work permit and how long to get hearing usually? Thanks

The hearing itself might be in a year or two, depending on your nationality and the province.

Currently you can only apply online, check IRCC website for the detailed process. You can submit your work permit application along with your refugee claim.

You'll get your work permit and medical coverage if IRCC found you eligible to make a refugee claim.

Following my previous post, my application status has been updated on ECAS that decision is made! Although on gckey it says Your application is in progress but I found there is Approval letter dated December 29th stating "We are pleased to advise you that processing of your application has been completed. The IRCC office in Etobicoke will contact you regarding the finalization of your permanent resident".

I'm now sure that gckey does not show status correctly, since it says that application is in progress, and no indication of background or eligibility being completed (I hope they're). I also didn't get AIP prior to approval letter which seems to be normal for some cases. While I hope this is good news I'm also still worried why gckey is not updated even though it's been more than two weeks!

I think I should wait for COPR now, and my question is: will COPR or e-COPR automatically include my in-Canada dependents?

First: congratulations for DM which means all of your assessments have been done and approved

Second: no need to worry about AIP letter mostly they didn't send a letter , also sometimes they didn't send DM letter as well so it different from case officer to another.

Third: Yes all independents including in your application MUST be residents of Canada in order to receive COPR with you

I believe each will receive their own COPR. and there is a possibility you all won't get it at the same time.
