You’re welcome. It usually takes about a week; that’s been my experience.

Okay. Thank you so much for your response. Very much appreciated.

Please find below the response from the Accra Office but not sure if it's an automated reply.

"Please be advised that your application is still in queue for review. No further action is required by you at this moment. You will be contacted once a decision is made."

What else can one do? Keep waiting?

Thanks!

This is an actual reply from them. I’ve discovered that if you contact Accra through the web form, you don’t get the automated system response; you only get it if you contact them via e-mail.

This is the generic reply they send, patience is the best way for us to deal with this process.

Interesting! No details at all. I keep hearing about people ordering for their GCMS notes. How does that work?

Interestingly we sent them an e-mail 3 days ago, and we got a response from them today that sort of indicates that the file is moving forward, but they're still craving for our patience.

The best way to order for the GCMS notes is if you have a family or friend who is a Canadian citizen or PR. They can do it for you and the cost is CA$5, otherwise you'll have to use an agency and the cost is a bit more.

Hi, family and friends in Canada can order for the GCMS notes for you at a cost of $5 using these links, https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/transparency/access-information-privacy/requests-information-act.html

https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/requesterInformation

If you want to order it yourself and don't mind the higher cost, some of the providers available online are as follows:

Hope this helps you guys out.

Okay. That gives me a bit of comfort.

Yes we have cousins who are permanent residents and citizens. We'll do that right away.

Thank you so much.

Hi,
I can’t help with your job search in Canada, but for the EE application, here are the steps...

Express Entry Application


(Please note that this info does not apply to the Federal Skilled Trades Program)


1) Determine your eligibility by doing this CIC quiz http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp


2) Get your language test(s) done. You must get at least CLB 7 in each of the four sections for the Federal Skilled Worker (FSW), Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) or Canadian Experience Class (CEC) streams. But getting CLB 10 gives you maximum points for language.


How does CLB match back to the language tests? That info is here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/language/charts.asp


3) Get your qualifications assessed by doing an Education Credential Assessment. Details here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/assessment.asp


4) Determine the code that best applies to you on the National Occupation Classification (NOC) list http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/noc.asp


The occupation must be NOC 0, A, or B for FSW or CEC.


5) When you have those in hand you create your express entry profile. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/profile.asp and register for the Job Bank http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/home-eng.do?lang=eng


You'll be given points based on your age, education, number of years work experience, and language skills. The points system is detailed here --> http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/express-entry/grid-crs.asp


You'll be in a pool with thousands of other applicants http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/pool.asp


Of course, the more points you have the better. The max is 1200, with 600 of those points coming from your ability to snag a PNP or a job offer with a very hard to get Labour Market Impact Assessment http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/employers/lmo-basics.asp


For CEC applicants, the max is 600 but someone who has no work experience in Canada who is only eligible for FSW can only get up to 520 points.


6) Finally, wait for your invitation to apply (ITA). But in the interim you will need to do the following:


a) Have your application fee (C$550 each for principal applicant and spouse) and right of permanent resident fee (C$490 each for principal applicant and spouse) ready

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/fees/fees.asp


b) Identify how you will provide proof of funds https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/documents/proof-funds.html


c) check out what is required for the police certificates http://www.cic.gc.ca/English/information/security/police-cert/index.asp


d) find out how long it takes to get a date for the medical exam. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/medical/medexams-perm.asp


e) contact previous and current employers about them providing job letters. You must have at least 12 months of full-time, or an equal amount in part-time, skilled work experience. Full-time work means at least 30 hours of paid work per week. Work experience while you were a full-time student does not count.


f) research cities in the province(s) where you want to live.

Why?
That's less than a month. Check the average times for Medicals passed in September & you'll see there's nothing to be worried about .

Is this forum still on. I'm seeing posts of 2009.
