Congratulations. Indeed a harrowing process. I thought Pre arrival letter means it has been approved pending PPR I’m wondering why background check is being processed after Pre arrival..
I hope we all receive good news soon as well.

That’s good. Hopefully, it does. About time too!

 

[Pgp2019accra]

Please do the upfront medical if you can. It was done out of frustration but It helped the application move so much faster. Also request gcms notes every 3 to 4 weeks. Thats exactly what I did. Apparently before a gcms note is approved, an ircc officer must review the file regarless of its position in que and take pending action if any. I only found out about this 2 weeks ago. I requested the notes every 4 weeks since february just because I wanted to see what was going on but apparently, I was unknowningly boosting the speed.. All the best.

Amen to that! Soon, keep the faith.

But how does one do upfront medicals? Can you explain?

I have order GCMS note since Jan and I have not got them.

 

[Pgp2019accra]

Call one of the panel of physician's office and ask for an appointment for upfront medical for Canada immigration. This is not new and its a valid process.

Also Order new GCMS. I had one just like that, It never came.

Thank you, I will do that. I just wanted to make sure we can because my parents don't stay in the city so it will be a flight and a hotel booking for them, which is not a big deal as long as it will be valid.

Yes I did order another GCMS notes last week so waiting on that one.

I also heard from my MP today and they confirm that there are no updated activities on my file... Sucks!!!

I cannot wait to be done with Canadian immigration process.... Jess!!!

Hi All,

Please I need help. My mum has just being requested to send a police clearance certificate again (second request). She has been in Canada for about 7 months now. Does she need to get police clearance certificate from Canada as well as home country?

If yes, how do i apply for the Canada Police clearance certificate, am in Manitoba.

Also, i had sent a police clearance certificate Sept 2021 and now she is not in Nigeria for her to do another one as they would require fingerprint, don't know if i should send the one i sent last year again. But at the same time do not want to delay the process.

Please your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Per my understanding, Nigerian police clearance is only valid for 3 months and you don't need to provide one for Canada unless it was specifically asked.

As for getting another Nigerian police clearance certificate, I do believe there are couple of ways you can do it:
1. Via the Nigerian High Commission in Ottawa
2. 3rd party (you'd have to call or do some research on this)
3. Print out the form get your fingerprints in front of a Canada police officer (Who will then sign that that you did it in their presence and it's your finger prints) and send the form to Nigeria.

I don't know if #3 is still allowed but I know some people back in 2015 ish that used this method with no issues.

Hope this helps.
