Am devastated!

[Mrs_Mawuko]

Hi everyone, am a Canadian Citizen I came here when I was 7 years my mom sponsored me here in on 2015 I got married to my husband back in my country Ghana and in 2017 I sponsored my husband to join me. The reason why I didn’t sponsor my husband right away is because to be honest I didn’t know it could be done right away I thought you had to wait X amount of years to show the genuineness of the marriage before applying for him not until I got a lawyer and he explain things to me. Long story short my husband hit decline for the first sponsorship with the reason stating they do not believe the marriage is genuine and also not granting interview and also on the basis’s that my husband has kids. My lawyer wrote a letter to the head office at Ottawa stating the decywas bais bass in the abundant evidence used to determine eligibility. So our documents was sent back to Accra Ghana for a review and another decision to be made by another officer so after about 10 months they called for more evidence. To support our marriage and also the perntage of the kids we sent over 6 pounds of paper documents to support call history moneygram transefer plane ticket receipts pictures and so forth basically an abundance of evidence with a letter from the kids mother an affidavit stating they are no longer together and she is now married and she is the mother of the kids and they both take care of the kids but the kids live with her. So last week Thursday my husband had an interview, he went answers every single question the officer ask for the kids Mom’s cell number my husband gave it willingly the officer step out of the interview room for 10mins came back and told my husband the number you gave me is wrong because when I call is switched off my husband to her the is absolutely the right number but this being Africa the network some times gives trouble anyways the interview was done and within three days the sent a refuse letter stating that the reason for refusal is that she the officer believes that my husband and his kids mother are still together and not separated when they were separated 5 years even before we got married!! Now he has been refused twice at this point we both are very very disappointed and sad is been two years with this filing process and 4 years of marriage apart my heart is broken!! So is his what do I do now? Someone please advice with your best advice. Hmmmmm

If you haven't done so already, you should order your GCMS notes to see the detailed refusal reasons.

Not really she just said we should get the officers note mean wale he sent an email to head office for them to re-look at it because her stated the application was not refuse base on our relationship but base on that the officer couldn’t get a hold of my husband’s ex and also we have

If everything else fails (working with your lawyer, etc), consider going back to Ghana to live with him for 1-2 years and sponsoring him from there. Not an easy thing to do I am sure, but...it is what it is.

So sad to hear what you have been going thru it is indeed painful to be away from the one you love. Don’t you think that immigration followed up with the baby mother again and what she said made it seem like there still together.
There's a thread here for dedicated to Ghana applicants you may be able to get more advice. Search thread for ghana applicants

Thank for your response is need very heart breaking the officer made a decision base on the fact that she couldn’t get a hold of the ex because the ladies phone wasn’t working we tried many times and when we got a hold of her after a couple of days she said she was in the northern region which cause her reception to be very very bad and no calls were coming in. Thank you I will check that thread out.

I don’t know if that would even be possible! It will be hard for me to leave my full tome job here as a dental hygienist and leave to stay in Ghana for a year when am back I have to start all over I wouldn’t be able to keep up with my rent Wal living in Ghana and putting my stuff in storage or selling it is just not an option at this point am checking all Chanel’s to see what’s best but thank you for your advice!
