hi guys,

my husband recieved his medicals today that have been sent to the medical office in paris.

his results showed the biggining of TB and it will require he takes one kind of medication. the professor told him that teh immigration office will contact him to tell him if he requires to do the treatment before landing to canada or not.

have any of you seen cases where they give landing visas with ppl with tb and allow them to be treated in canada? please guys need help

They might allow him to be treated in Canada, or they might say he has to be treated first and then can get the PR visa.

A article I read didn't mention the Accra office but that information was when the strike first happened. I'll have a look around and see if I find anything new.

6 more weeks until my husband's interview ;D but this is the time of worrying and wondering. :'(

I see that some folks had their interview waived and was wondering if there is something about our application that made immigration chose to interview my husband. Anyone have any ideas? Also it seems from most postings that the applicant finds out the day of the interview whether he is approved or not. Is this the case? And if so, how long before he can come to Canada? Does he have to wait for any paperwork to be mailed to him in Nigeria?

Lastly I have heard nothing about whether his medicals were received or not. Does this happen before or after the interview? Sometimes the process seems so confusing. If I had a signed consent form from him, I could request his case notes but I don't have the consent.

Getting a little frayed at the ends here in Canada and missing my guy so much!

Hello,
Please can someone tell me how long does it take after medical received by accra to issue PPR?
Also does that mean interview waived?
Thank you all.

I see that some folks had their interview waived and was wondering if there is something about our application that made immigration chose to interview my husband.

It seems Accra wants to interview most applicants. Sometimes if the two people are both from the same ethnic group and have a lot in common, Accra will waive the interview. But if the two are of differnet races or religions, expect an interview. Going through Accra, I would not say there was anything wrong or missing from your application. Though if the application includes a lot of proof the marriage is genuine, an interview is less likely.

Also it seems from most postings that the applicant finds out the day of the interview whether he is approved or not. Is this the case?

This varies. Some people find out the day of the interview. Others will get the answer later - they sent a letter to my husband about 3 weeks later, which he never received. They sent a copy to me in Canada, which I did receive.

And if so, how long before he can come to Canada? Does he have to wait for any paperwork to be mailed to him in Nigeria?

The visa will usually expire 12 months after the date of the medicals. The visa will have the date on it. Once he gets his passport back with the visa, he should be able to go to Canada.

If I had a signed consent form from him, I could request his case notes but I don't have the consent.

They don`t usually tell you the medicals have been received. You can find out by ordering your GCMS notes, or just wait - if they request the passport in order to give him the visa, that means the medicals must have been received.
You can fill out and get signed the consent form now and send it in. It did not have to go with the original application. If you order his GCMS notes, you can just send a consent form with the form for that.
