Dear All,
I've been a silent observer on the forum for quite sometime now, I decided to end my silence today. To God be the Glory my PR visa was issued today by AVO.
My timelines are:
App received: Mar 23, 2011
PER: Apr 26, 2011
2nd AOR: Aug 2, 2011
3rd AOR: Nov 4, 2011
Medical request: May 10, 2012
Medical received line: July 3, 2012
PPR: July 19, 2012
Visa Issued: July 23, 2012
To those who are about to receive PPR, here are my two cents before setting out to Accra:
1. Make sure you have a valid yellow card with proper batch numbering, I had 2 cards on me which were refused by immigration KIA at Accra. Albeit, I refused to take the vaccine as I already had the vaccination, taking the vaccine a second time within a short period usually results in illness. I was finally let go with a fine of 20cedis and issued a "legit yellow card"
2. Book a hotel close to the Canadian High Commission; you will wait 7 - 8hrs to get your visa, so it will be comforting to get a place nearby where you can lay your head while waiting. I would suggest Assemblies of God guest house (call Alidu +233244295364) or Central Hotel (both walking distance).
3. Make sure your documents (passport and immigration photos) are intact including form IMM8
Thanks everyone for providing ever useful guidance on this Journey!
From your timeline, you seem to be MI2 or is it MI3? :-\ Mandie and co, hope you have started packing your bags!!! :
