Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[Cosey]

I think once you're through with the payment, it won't take too long to hear from them. It will surely be before Christmas

Perfect. Thanks a lot.

Hi there, just a quick question. What exactly exactly is an "MP", I've seen several people make reference to them and just want to clarify. Is it 'Member of Parliament'? Sorry if this may sound silly. Just getting lost with all the lingos on here haha. Thanks in advance!

Yes you are correct - MP stands for Member of Parliament

 

[Cei325]

Sorry do you mean june receiving ppr or medical request? Also my application was received june 28, and they requested Schedule A by August, application sent to AVO and started processing October 16th, no medical yet, I wonder when they will ask for that.

yes, they have started requesting because i know of 2 june applicants who have received. What's your timeline?

 

[Cei325]

No they haven't yet. But I know someone who applied mid June and got medicals last week. Hoping ours will come soon.

What date did they start your application pls.

So the MP office called me today and booked an appointment for next week.
What type of questions should I cover for the 2017 applicants since ours has been held until 2016 is cleared.
Any suggestions I will note it for the appointment.

Please house, does the 15days given by AVO to submit passport with police clearance include weekends or just 15 working days?

Business days so that exclude weekends.

 

[larrykay247]

Please house i have sent the corrected Schedule A IMM5669E form and a cover letter to AVO via email and DHL ... I also sent via IRCC webform, I got a response from IRCC that it takes 10 working days for me to hear from them ... I'm just keeping my fingers crossed on what next.

 

[Ugoswife]

Please house, does the 15days given by AVO to submit passport with police clearance include weekends or just 15 working days?

Given they usually don't specify that on their letters, it would be advisable to work with regular days if you can.

OMG. Not good. We just got a refusal letter. I have 30 days to make an appeal. Pleeeeeasssse....does anyone have experience with appeals??? Any similar situations??

Application was received in Jan 10, 2017. No change in ECAS/MyCIC since Feb. Sent some supporting docs in September (2017 travel docs/pics). Sent an email to the Minister of Immigration a couple weeks ago like many others. And now this refusal letter. My husband was denied a visitor visa in early 2016 because of concern about some documents. Now they're telling us he is admissible for 5 years, but I didn't realize that was the case when they sent us his visitor visa refusal letter.

The relevant part of his letter reads:

You applied at this office for a Temporary Resident Visa on 15 March 2016. After being offered a fair opportunity to respond to information that indicated you had misrepresented relevant information in your application, you were found to be inadmissible for misrepresentation under Paragraph A40(2)(a) of the Act on 26 April 2016.

As a result, you were rendered inadmissible to Canada for a period of five years from that date. Thus, you are inadmissible in any category until 16 June 2022 and your application is refused.​

A letter came to me also, along with a NOTICE OF APPEAL form. Relevant sections from the letter:

Subsection 63(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act allows a person who has filed in the prescribed
manner an application to sponsor a foreign national as a member of the family class to appeal to the
Immigration Appeal Board against a decision not to issue the foreign national a permanent resident visa.

If the Appeal Division finds that an applicant is not a member of the family class, and/or that the sponsor is not a
sponsor within the meaning of the Regulations, the Appeal Division will only have jurisdiction to consider the
appeal under subsections 67(1)(a) and (b), that read:

67(1) To allow an appeal, the Immigration Appeal Division must be satisfied that, at the time the appeal
is disposed of,
(a) the decision appealed is wrong in law or fact or mixed law and fact;
(b) a principle of natural justice has not been observed(…)

If you decide to appeal this decision, you may commence an appeal by completing and submitting a
Notice of Appeal to one of the addresses on the enclosure entitled Important Instructions.

You must attach a copy of this letter and a copy of the refusal letter with your Notice of Appeal. The completed
form and a copy of this letter must be received at the office responsible for the province where you live within 30
days from the date you receive this letter.

PLEASE HELPPPPPP!!!!

Sorry about your situation. Did your husband respond at all to the concerns they had for his TRV refusal? If he didn't at all, then it seems like a really gloomy situation. You might also need to involve a good immigration lawyer at this point.

Oh dear. This is mega serious. Check out the thread suggested by @Ugoswife and also can you try and get an immigration lawyer. I think you would need a professional to review your file starting from when he applied for TRV, why he was refused, what was done from it at your end and how you can appeal and prove that there isnt hanky panky going on. I really wish you the best dear. Thoughts are with you at this moment
