Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

hi,
Is it the sponsor who receives an email for medical request or it is the principal applicant who receives an email to go do the medicals?
Thank you

Principal applicant

Hello everyone
I got ADR in February and I got AOR March 29th..... normally it takes 30days for a final decision to be made but it’s more than that now and still there’s no change on my application. Please has anyone experienced this?

Hi SherryO
I also got an ADR on 14th Feb 2022 and received AOR 6th April 2022 after sending multiple emails to Accra visa office. At the moment no updates on either my background or eligibility, both are still in progress. Please what is your timeline?

Hi, congratulations, you are almost done! Our application timeliine is almost the same.
Application received August 23rd 2021
Medical January 24th 2022
Right of permanent residence fee letter January 27th 2022
March 25th decision made ( no correspondence email till now)
Background check and eligibility completed on 25thof March. I have not received pre arrival so I am a bit concerned. Also my eligibility was in progress for over month before completed but background went straight from not started to Completed. Did your background go from in progress to completed or straight to Completed?
Please let me know . Thanks

Hi M&F2019,
Please have you gotten any updates on your applications? I also sent my application in August 2021.

I get ghost updates almost on a daily basis on the new tracker tool. Just wondering what could be the reason for the silence.

Does your background verification state "in progress" on the new tracker?

Thanks for the reply SherryO.
In my case I have been seeing ghost updates every week since the start of April 2022. I have always been confused about what people consider as ghost updates, would that be the update in Gckey or updates in the New tracker or both?
For example my Gckey hasn’t been updated since 14th Feb 2022. And the Gckey still says they’re expecting my ADR even though I’ve submitted and it’s been acknowledged on the New tracker that Accra Visa office has received it.

My background verification hasn’t started but I was told that can change to complete in a day sef wen you get PPR. My last update on gckey was the day I got ADR, February 15th. My gckey has been updated to “we are reviewing the additional documents you provided”. I don’t also know if the ghost updates people refer to is that of gckey or tracker but I was referring to my tracker. My gckey last update was wen I got my ADR in February.

hi palomadiego, i applied to Accra and i would say it went well for me and our application took two months my husband is a white canadian we aplied in october cic receieved our appliction in october 13th 2010, he was approved in november 15th 2010 as a sponsor and file was in process the same 15th november 2010, and i got an interveiw date for november 26th 2010 against febuary 1st 2011, and i got my visa same day and i landed in vancouver on the 8th feb 2011. so i would say two months it was amazing well we had a lots of proofs in and photos so you have to be ready for interveiw save more communication from when you put in the appiliction to your interveiw date becos they would ask for more proof of communication. there are some thread about interveiw question so it would be good if you print them out so you can study them it will help. know your spouse very well everything about him.it will be good.

To think there was a time all this could have been done in TWO MONTHS!
