Hello there, yh I also believe the best move is to update AVO via a webform about your current location. This might prompt them to send you to the closest VAC around you to submit your passport. Hopefully the transfer of the final step don't take too long.

Personally if this was me, with my case in Accra, once I received the PPR to submit my passport I would return to ACCRA ASAP and provide my passport for the final stages since this where it was processed.

As for that last stage it can't be skipped, in a sense that even if you had done an inland process in Canada you would still submit passport for the residency visa status. So being there would imply that you would definitely submit it either to ACCRA as they say or prompt them and they transfer it to the closest VAC next to you for submission.

Just My Thoughts bro.
Oh ok, thanks for this other angle too. I will update the AVO. Initially, I got an email saying my application was in Shanghai (as at January) and when I called immigration today I was told that my application is now in Ghana Accra.

Hello Everyone,
Please I need help on something I saw in my GCkeys. I did my medicals sometimes mid April. It was completed and submitted the next day. I confirmed with the center and I was given the print out that showed it was completed and the date it was submitted. Few weeks after, my update change to We did not receive the results of your medical examination. Check details below........ . Please I just want to know why this happened or if theres an issue with my medical examination. Thanks anticipation.
Don't think is a problem at all. First of all the gckey is just a platform that needs to be updated by the IRCC personnels themselves. I only think it hasn't been updated even though your file has been submitted.

I would suggest that you get a picture/scanned photo of the receipt submit a webform upload that receipt and you would be fine.

Again from my lil research I realised most of the VAC centers have been closed temporarily and not operating for sometime in May, hence may be a reason it hasn't been updated. So please don't stress at all. The medicals has been done and just need an update by them.

Infact most of my updates made by them were only after I prompted them.

Just My Thoughts cos myself haven't even done medicals yet..

For those who have received DM + PPR. When did you receive the " We started processing your application on ...... date"?. and how many weeks or months did it take you to receive further correspondence from them? I'm just trying to "guesstimate". Done with medical and waiting for DM
Hi, have you gotten the message on “we started processing your application….” I’m also done with medical and waiting for DM

Someone pls help!!!. I submitted our application on the 3rd week of dec 2020 and until now we have not heard from them.

We are worried. We have not gotten any acknowledgement letter from them. Are there people in this situation pls should tell us their experiences and and the way forward if any.

Thank you and expecting replies on this
We submitted the same time and same here too. However, I called and was told it is in the queue for review. I think the only thing is to wait. I understand they hardly give AOR and will request for medical direct. Fingers crossed.
