Anyone still waiting on visa update from Acca VO since last year 2022? Looking to find what else they can do to contact them apart from webforms. Been waiting for parents visitor visa decision since August 2022. Any help pleasee!

You are not alone. Ours is with Nairobi VO since last year (Jan 2022). Though it’s for my wife and not parent.
Even with multiple webform sent, they kept replying that it is on queue since July 2022. This is so pathetic

Congratulations. Do you have their contact pls?

Thank you. I don't have their contact info. Any interaction with them was through webform.

Eligibility review has started on my parents application. How long do you think they would hear a final decision?

Dependents of protected persons should lower their expectations of quick processing of their applications.

I found out that their estimated processing time is 43 months.

Background Check: “we are processing your background check”

Approximately, how long does it take for the background check to be completed?

P.S. I already emailed IRCC (Ghana-Accra) today and I'm waiting on a response.

It will be wise if all of us in this situation write to the Minister of Immigration and complain about the Accra Visa Office and how they ignore our applications for months and years on end.

If he gets many emails saying the same thing, he may be forced to call for an enquiry into what goes on at AVO.

I have his email and will write. If your application has stayed longer than necessary, you may as well write. It could have an effect. See below.

Minister@cic.gc.ca

&

sean.fraser@parl.gc.ca

Such emails goes through protocol list as external and I'm sorry it won't even reach the minister or for him to even read it!! External emails usually goes to the junk emails based on how they've set up IRCC emails platform for security and other factors

Congratulations to you! Can you share with us who you emailed who was able to help you?

We applied in March 2021 for my mom's supervisa...we still have not heard anything. Reapplied in Sept. 2022 with the hopes we'd hear something faster from a new application. Still nothing. Also processing at the Accra office. I've emailed Accra office, sent webforms, involved our MP, emailed the high commissioner of Ghana, etc. Not sure who else to email beyond the minister of immigration in Canada perhaps?? Was there anyone you emailed at Accra who was actually helpful?

I don't think the supervisa is a priority now and they go by priorities and the family one especially spousal sponsorship.....keep sending webform and email your city or mp in Canada....

Any approvals for TRV from Accra office lately?

 

[udehvp]

Please, I need help, guys,
My wife sent in her Passport; she included everything else EXCEPT the two photo passports, with one stamped and signed with her name and date of birth on the back.
It was weeks months later after I mailed Accra, that they said that it was missing and should be sent, She quickly took a fresh picture and couriered it to VFS Lagos for delivery to Accra VO, but it has been two weeks not without any form of reply from VFS Lagos or Accra. I have sent emails to both requesting updates and nothing for over five days now.
What else can we do?
Should I have sent it directly to Accra?

Thank you, we submitted the Passport/PPR on the 6th of January, 2023.

The PPR came in form of ADR with instructions to send passport..don't know if that's the norm. Anyway I need some advice..Is it faster to send the passport directly to Accra using DHL and what is the procedure? (details, amount, everything) or just send it through VFS Lagos (Timeframe for VFS Lagos?). Thanks!

Congratulations! It's faster to send it to Accra but make sure pay for the return as well
