Hi everyone so as you know i received request for medical but on the adress section in not my current adress which is the adress on all my document. So am confused and worried.
It shouldn't be a problem if they do communicate with you via email. However, you should advise them when sending your medical receipt that they should update your address with the right one.

HI Everyone on this forum. I have a scenario and wish to get ideas from what you think.
I am Cameroonian by birth and presently in Canada. While visiting family in Nigeria with my wife who is also Cameroonian, we decided to get marry there since I was not going to go to Cameroon during that visit. I filed to sponsor my wife who is also a Cameroonian and the application was sent instead to Accra Ghana instead of dhakar Senegal. I just wanted to get your opinion on the reason you think cic sent the application to Accra instead of Senegal. I am just thinking maybe because my marriage certificate is from Nigeria and Ghana is in charge of Nigeria application. Also do you think my wife's ppr will come from Accra or they will forward it to Senegal to continue processing it since she is also a Cameroonian and residents in Cameroonian. Anyone with ideas is welcome

Well I will said that the fact you married in Nigeria and file from Nigeria is the reason they sent it to Ghana as Nigeria correspondance ,but as of getting ppr from Senegal ,I can't confirmed that,may be other professional will talk on that side,but ibtjink she will get ppr from Ghana provided that after gotten SA ,that the file was transferred to Ghana.. Hope it helps

Can someone please tell me what this means and what we have to do in order to get it?

"Ø Vous devez présenter une demande d’autorisation de retour au Canada, étant donné que vous avez fait l’objet d’une mesure d’exclusion. Vous devez indiquer pourquoi des éléments particuliers doivent être pris en considération dans votre cas et vous acquitter des frais de traitement de 400 $CAN."

"Ø You must submit an application for authorization to return to Canada, as you have been excluded. You must indicate why particular items must be considered in your case and pay A processing fee of CAN $ 400. "


I barely understand what it means, what do you apply for?
Are you living in Canada before?
Are you deported from Canada or have to told to leave for appointed time?

Hello
We have sent passport and it has been 3 weeks since Dakar received and we haven't heard from them since then. For those who got their passport back, is this normal? And my status is still the same on both ecas and on immigration website account.Does it ever change when visa is issued?

Same here, we got PPR and asked to redo medical on november 1st. She sent the medical and the information sheet and the passport on the 10th (all through yaoundé CRDV). It has been 3 weeks and we haven't heard back. I know it has been at least a week that mycic shows Medical Done, but it is still showing Decision not made and Background in progress. I don't know why it is taking so much time.

Thank-you for your help Timosky.

I am wondering if anyone knows if Dakar only accepts cheque/money order payment for ARC and the "Frais de renvoi"? In their email to us they only mentioned those two methods of payment, however, on the CIC website it has the option to pay both via CC. I asked Dakar twice now for an English translation plus confirmation (plus I called in) and no one has answered me. Any insight would be awesome, thanks.
