@Nneji when did your spouse complete his medical? Approximately how many days did it take for an update (Medical passed) to appear on GCkey?

Hi Akissi,
We got the notification May 7th and we were told that he had 30 days to do it, and to escalate if we didn't get a date within that timeline. Closest booking date was June 1 and did at IOM Ikeja, and it got updated within 2 weeks from that time. I dont have exact days because we just use the online tools. Been having challenges linking our application sadly. Anyway the online tool changed from "in process to "applicatiom received".
Hope that clarifies.

Good day all,
I am currently in Canada and applied for my spouse since Aug 10, 2020. He is currently in Nigeria and his file got moved to Ghana office, we did get prearrival letter since June 10th and still waiting for passport request. Please how long is the timeline for this and would the letter be sent to the account portal or just via mail. We have been checking everyday and it is getting frustrating

May I ask, did your spouse complete his medical examination? If so, when?

As for the linking the file took me about 7 months to do so and that was after i sent a webform about not being able to. I think my file wasn't in the Gckey system yet. Try sending them a webform or email to give you access and maybe this would be possible. After I sent the webform I was able to link it in 2 days.

Hopefully very soon, as how the AVO works is very unpredictable. One needs to keep fingers crossed and pray always. Trust me checking everyday would stress you(used to do this everyday) once the PPR lands you would be noted via your account (all notifications would surely alert you via email). You are at the end of the road so best be patient and very soon within this or next month I think the PPR would land. There hasn't been PPR for a while now so know you are not left out yet. LOL

But since you an August applicant and have your PAS letter get ready with your MP and contact him once it exceeds a year but for now just waiting I guess.

Thanks @Akissi18 @Dimilitantey. It is really tiring checking and seeing no changes. Please is there a way you know that they haven’t done any PPR request lately? Also you mentioned to get ready with my MP... please what is that and how do I do it. Did the application myself but still learning as I go along.

Yes he did. And got the message April 29th that he passed the medical exam
Okay, thanks. Again, information I'm providing is based on my findings on previous applicants involvement with AVO, I stand corrected if information is inaccurate, also everyone's case is unique, so bare that in mind.

From what I've read through the Accra thread it can take approx. 5 months to receive PPR from the date medical is recieved/completed.

You're still within the processing time, hopefully you'll get an update between Aug-Sept, if you don't get one this month.

My hope is that you receive an update this month (of course!), or even the first week of August, but you never know with AVO as they are full of surprises!

You're almost at the finish line, stay encouraged!

There's only one individual that I know of in this thread who received PPR in June (June 25, to be exact), and that is @Goodiesville.

@Goodiesville have you received your passport back? You've been quiet.

MP = Member of Parliament
It's advised when an application exceeds processing time to contact MP.
To find out who your MP is visit: https://www.ourcommons.ca/en
under FIND, click the Member tab, and enter your postal code. It should populate with your MP's contact information, save it for reference.
When contacting MP in the future, you'll provide info re: your file, and they'll send you a consent form to be signed, in order for them to connect with AVO on your behalf.
