I submitted my application in May 2004. My case is worrisome in that In Dec 2009 I was asked to update my records, Police Clearance Certificate (PCC), bank statements, wife’s university transcripts etc. with a deadline of January 31, 2010 to submit this. You know how it is with delays in obtaining transcripts in Nigerian universities, since we could not meet the January 31 deadline we asked for extension through my lawyer (Campbell Cohen) which was granted though we sent all other documents by the January 31 deadline. We were able to send the transcripts eventually by March 2010. Up till now we have not heard anything from Accra. The last time we communicated through my attorney the response was this:

Dear Madam / Sir,

It is obvious that ur inability to meet the earlier deadline(for no fault of yours) is been used against u which ought not to be. All May/June 2004 applicants who met the 60 days deadline got their medical requests 2-3 weeks after submitting their updated applications. They are awaiting PPR.

If ur last inquiry was more than 2 months ago, then send another case-specific inquiry which may jolt them into action. U don't need to rely on ur consultant to do that. I am absolutely convinced that justice has not been done to ur case at all. All the best.

Seglad.....No I haven't gotten any waiver talk less of a medical request.

Hi Yemkik,

It's been a while but trust you are doing well...I am believing that your medical request will be soon, the delay is simply due to the generation of applicants that you belong to (class of 2002...same as mine). This generation is a bit disadvantaged for a couple of reasons but no need going over them...you have done well coping patiently and should continue with your life and future plans.
Your disadvantage will turn out to be a big advantage if you can use the lessons of your waiting...a status check at this time may bring your file to focus again...I got my ppr within a week of checking with them, almost 2 months to the expiry of my medicals.
I would worry less if I were you..

All the best..

iii....Thanks I will do that right away.

And btw, hope you have reviewed your destination since you don't really want very cold, snowy environment? That is what you will get in Calgary..you may want to consider Victoria in BC. More rains and better weather than Calgary...

Will welcome you on this side soon.

All the best..

Dear Tito,

Thanks so much for the words of encouragement. Sure I don't want to come and face the colds and snows of Calgary at this time just feel like letting the world know of my predicament and who knows I may have one or two mates in the same shoes.

For my kind of profession, like we discussed earlier, I think Calgary is the best bet.

See the statement from my attorney below:

'Upon the change in the immigration regulations in February 2008, the applications that were received before this date were put on hold by the visa offices, in order to process the new applications received after 2/2008. We understand that this situation is extremely unfair. However, this was the decision of the government office which is out of our control'

If this is correct then it is most unfair!
