PNP applicants to cic-Accra

[Sambisa Valley]

I don't know if they currently place PNP on hold but they have given more preference to FSW. Some of the FSW that started in 2014 have gotten visa. Some were called for medicals as late as Oct 2014 and yet they have got PPR.

But like I said, we have to wait patiently.

It is well!

Of course I agree we have to be patient. In our waiting too it is good to look inward. Some other PNP forums are seriously waiting for AOR from CIC while FSW is having CC or DD charged and PER issued.

This has nothing to do with AVO now and that is why patience is co-jointed with a million thougths and analyses.

It is well

Hello House,

The wait has been so hard but we have no choice than to persevere.

I have a question for the guru. I am expecting my PPR any moment from now but I have a Visiting visa that will expire in 2016. What will be the status of the Visa when the PR comes. I am asking because I am looking at the possibility of travelling before I get my PR card after landing.

Thank you.

Buzzcana, if u have a visa, it is definitely still valid till expiry date. You can always use it to travel anytime before your PPR is ready. When the time comes for your passport request, it will now be the decision of CIC in Accra to issue u a new travel visa and cancel the old one or leave it as it is and issue u just the COPR. Visa na visa right!!! Any visiting visa to canada will be cancelled once u land anyway!!! I hope that clarifies it.
On the other hand, CIC Accra dey do us strong thing ooooo. I perpetually jump at any slightest sound of email on my fone. The waiting is killing. Let's all continue to pray cos I am very confident it will come soon. There is definitely no reason for them to put PNP on hold. It makes no logical sense. Cheers!!!

Waiting is tough! What I have done with the wait is to channel my energy to preparing for the transition. That has helped a lot.

The delay could be because the PNP quota for Accra was full for 2014. Maybe.....

While I believe in this exhaustion of 2014 visa theory, I keep asking myself when 2015 visa target kicks off.

Today is Jan 13, prayer, patience and analysis continue. I strongly believe that either now or in future, this great forum needs a spreadsheet.

Good luck to us

May God use AVO to revive this forum from tomorrow.

All our R shall begin to manifest.

Hello people,

Just want to ask the house whether anyone who did medicals for upwards of 5 months and have not got any PPR applied for CAIPS/GCMS Notes? If yes, kindly enlighten on how to go about it because I saw info on CIC website that only PR holders or citizens can request for it.

Many thanks in anticipation of a quick response.

Cheers,

Akinola

Here you go, everything you need about
GCMS :

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/latest-caips-gcms-notes-forms-and-how-to-order-t99210.0.htm



Got this in a forum. Hope it helps Ofis

 

[Sambisa Valley]

Another info from another forum. Hope it helps Ofis


I am starting this thread because of repeated enquiries on how to order latest CAIPS / GCMS and what forms we need to download. So heree we go once for all. Many thanks.......


1) Sir Kanamen is doing it for free.

Sir Kanamen is offering CAIPS / GCMS for free. If some body wants to use him here is the link

http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/caipesfree-offer-t88238.0.html


2) But if you want to order it on your own there are two ways.

a) If you have a friend / relative in canada it would cost you just $5 and you will get that in around 30 days.

b) If you don't have a relative or friend in Canada then you can get it from websites and it would cost around $25-$40 and you will get in six to eight weeks..

Check this

a) If you have a relative / friend in Canada

As you have a relative / friend there it would cost you just $5. Its very easy. Your relative / friend will order this on your behalf and he will be the requester. It can be done by email and your relative / requester can send scan copies of everything. Your relative / friend will receive CAIPS / GCMS notes in his email.

First fill the following form but your relative / friend will sign it as he is the requester.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5563E.pdf

Then you will have to fill this consent form and sign yourself

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5475E.pdf

Now according to latest IMM5563E form you can even pay fees online if you are not living in Canada and there is no need to fill any credit card form. Pay fees online, get receipt, fill it and then scan and attach with application. Its very easy. Go to section C of the following form then follow other links given below.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5563E.pdf (See section C)

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

https://eservicesak.cic.gc.ca/epay/lineofbusiness.do

After payment take 2 copies of print out of receipt. Keep one copy for yourself and attach other with application.

Ask your relative to provide copy of his Canadian passport or PR card and copy of his recent bill or bank statement as a proof that he is currently living in Canada

Ask him to scan everything and send everything by email to

atip-aiprp @ cic.gc.ca


b) If you don't have a relative / friend in Canada

try these websites. You will get in around 6-8 weeks.

Permit me to correct the erroneous believe or popular fallacy as it were that visa quota for any fiscal year is exhausted by CIC.

First,we must understand that the introduction of Ministerial Instruction for Skilled Worker program is to centrally control the number of intake per fiscal year. Under no circumstance will applications received be more than the number already allocated for the fiscal year.

In 2013 FSWP , the total number of applications received was slightly lower than the target for the year as contained in the 2014 annual immigration report. Hence,the question of exceeding quota does and should not arise.

"..There were 52,877 FSW Program admissions in 2013, which is slightly lower than the planned range of 53,500–55,300...........The number of provincial nominees remained relatively stable in 2013 at 39,915 admissions"

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/annual-report-2014/index.asp

As a matter of fact,the 2015 immigration target was released as far back as October 2014.

The question then arises as to what might be responsible for Accra "slow pace" of work. Trust me on this one,Accra is never slow (At least from late 2014 up until now)! They are working and will continue to work under the direction of the Ministerial Instructions relating to every application received from the centralized intake office. They might have adopted "a-reduction-in-responding- to-inquiries-from-applicants" approach which has continued to raise suspicion.

As there will be a number of Invitation to apply (ITA) released under the new Express Entry in the coming days,they will be under pressure to release update (Medical Requests, Passport Request,Additional Information,etc) to applicants for both 2013 and 2014 applicants so as to meet the 6 months processing target set for EE.

Patience is key when it comes to immigration on the part of the applicants.

Watch out for good news!

Thanks, but the visa exhaustion theory I referred to is about AVO and not CIC.

But whichever way, good news is the key.

Good luck to all of us.

Just saw on a forum where a FSW 2014 applicant was said to have got his PPR yesterday! I wish I know what is happening to PNP honestly. Hate to be in this limbo where to adequately plan ahead is pretty difficult.
