Hi everyone,
I am new here, I am confused on what to do because I have low IELTS score band 6 and I have my result evaluated already, any advice on the program I can apply under because of my low IELTS score, my NOC code is 6552?

You will need to sit for IELTS again. There's no two-way about it.

Then it's in progress. Once it's completed, the status will read the same. Nothing to be worried about as far as info sharing is concerned, provided you've declared visa refusals to other countries - if any.

Yes I did. I was refused visa to the US in 2017. I stated it there.
I’m just worried about the time it’s taking. The 6 months mark is in August

Don't be worried. It could be that it hasn't been updated because an officer hasn't picked up your file just yet. Is your application in Accra? What's your AOR?

AOR is February 10th
Secondary office is CPC Ottawa.

There's a lot of people waiting for their files to get processed in Accra, majority submitted in January/February.

About a week, but VFS don't return them to you immediately. They seem to process submission and delivery in batches so the turnaround time might be between 4-6weeks. If you can send straight to VFS Accra, there are chances that you'll get the passport back within a month (or less).

Is it even permitted by IRCC to send passports directly to VSF Accra, boycotting the local (Nigeria) VSF office where we had our biometrics taken?

Yep, it is. Provided you can find a way around paying their service fee. People have done it. Some even send to offices outside Africa.

Thanks for the prompt feedback

Please is IELTS that important in processing Canadian visa?

Please is IELTS that important in processing Canadian visa?

It's one of the core requirements; you won't be eligible for express entry until you get at least 6666 in all modules. 6666 has never been enough though.
