Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[spacepmi]

She doesn't need any letter to do the medically. All she needs to tell the doctors office is that she is doing an upfront medicals for her permanent resident application and the doctors office will go ahead and do it. She will be given a form confirming she has done it and all she has to do is forward it to immigration either through email, post or both to be on a safer side. Cic will receive the result and update her file accordingly. Hope this answers your question. As for the cost, it varies by the doctors office and it will be best to call them to find out.

I asked this question on here just a few days ago, don't worry if the third line doesn't show up now. People said on this thread that it could take months. I, like you, am an August applicant and saw that others in the August outland 2016 group had their third line about the medical show up on ecas almost immediately, but it must just be that Accra doesn't update it as fast as other visa offices. Don't worry about it, people said it might be a long while before it shows up.

Good morning Kwame,
please listen up, if she got the medicals done and have d confirmation from d doctor all you need do is the receipt of payment and the confirmation, go on the CSE (case specific enquiry) and email or mail the slips or forms given u by the doctor to either Accra visa office or to Ottawa or Mississauga which is one applicable to you, its very easy and simple, it has nothing to do with eCas.
eCas is only to show you the status or position of your application.
Thank you

I had the same situation as Kwame if you read you approval letter well, it's stated in it that the medical must be done before the can continue the processing and the information sheet should be send to Accra office not any office. And any enquire con cencerning your application or updates should be send to AVO directly with a copy of the approval letter. So when your wife is going for the medical let her go with a copy of the approval letter. And send a copy of the approval letter with the medical information sheet, that is what the letter says. Cheers!

Thank you very much....also do you know the price medical in Ghana?

 

[becos]

Thank you very much....also do you know the price medical in Ghana?

We did ours in May and it was about $250 CAD, maybe a bit less. I think at the time it was like 620 GHc.

 

[gapoha]

Thank you very much....also do you know the price medical in Ghana?

Actually I live in China so did my in China, but my kids are in Ghana so they did theirs there, it cost 360ghs for a child below 11 years, but they are exempted from blood test and X-ray as they are kids. So will cost more for adults.

Since there is decision made on ecas (sponsor's side) i think that settles it. Maybe they sent it to a wrong email address. On the other side i am not sure you can get AOR without SA. Some of us our AOR mail is the same as our SA mail.

@ Beebee2016....Does it mean you have also NOT received SA letter apart from the AOR?
