Only 500 out of the 84,000 applicants interested in joining the Ghana Immigration Service will be recruited.<\/p>\n

This represents less than one (1%) percent intake from the vast number of applicants.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”0mpyzNX0CtsBCcK0VjtfOCeWcwjJjkeA”]The Immigration Service in a statement copied to citifmonline.com<\/strong> said it shortlisted 47,477 qualified candidates from the first phase of the selection process, and will further prune the number in the second phase.<\/p>\n

The phase 2, a body and documentation screening exercise, which started today,Thursday, January 4, 2018, will end on Friday, January 5, 2018 with an aptitude test.<\/p>\n

Many have suggested that the huge number of applications for recruitment into the service is an indication of the fast-growing levels of unemployment and the desire of the youth to take advantage of the vacancy to gain employment.<\/p>\n

However, the GIS\u2019 decision to recruit only 500 persons from the lot indicates that the vacancy will not result in any significant reduction in the unemployment rate in the country.<\/p>\n

Regional breakdown of application<\/strong><\/p>\n

Majority of the applications for this year\u2019s exercise was received from the Greater Accra Region, followed by the Ashanti and Brong Ahafo Regions.<\/p>\n

Beware of imposters<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Head of Public Affairs of the Ghana Immigration Service, Supt. Michael Amoako-Atta, said \u201cthe recruitment exercise is transparent as a possible, and it must be noted that no individual group or persons can help anybody to be enlisted into the Ghana Immigration Service.\u201d<\/p>\n

It added that \u201canybody who presents himself\/herself as Agent of GIS and\/or middleman must be reported immediately to the Police for his\/her arrest and prosecution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each applicant spent Ghc50 cedis during the online application process.<\/p>\n
