Hi all, I’m a long-time follower of this forum. I bring good news! My Ghanaian husband just got his passport request (May 2021 applicant; outland spousal sponsorship)!! He’s been approved! No interview required! A couple questions to the group… He needs to submit his passport at the Visa...

So much good news this week for others. Congratulations. I hate being the downer here with our refused app. His PR application sat for 10 months before they could tell us his visitor visa refusal was an issue. The concern was about a financial statement. I found one glimmer of hope in the...

For the TRV, they gave 7 days to address a concern. He replied, but they weren't satisfied. The way the TRV refusal letter was written, it wasn't clearly stated that there was a 5 year ban. The way that letter ended was "You are welcome to reapply if you feel that you can respond to these...

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...

I'm happy to see the momentum on contacting those in power. Let's try to unify our voice by using a consistent subject line in all email correspondence. I was thinking (in capital letters) ACCRA VISA OFFICE NEEDS HELP (Application #F____________). This way, they (Minister of Immigration, PM...

FYI - You're not alone. The visa office in Accra, Ghana is also VERY slow.... averaging 12-13 months before requesting for interview, passports, etc. They're currently processing applications from Oct 2016.

I "think" @becos used to maintain a spreadsheet, but she's at the end of her wait, so I don't know if anyone else has started one. I wrote the few that are close to mine (Dec/Jan), like I mentioned in my earlier post this evening. Are you tech savvy? Maybe you could start one.

@nwaefulu_716, it seems you submitted right before the due date of Jan 31, 2017, if you used the old application. Did you apply with the old package or new?

Hi, there are other early 2017 applicants on this forum, although maybe we're less vocal. There are at least 5 of us who were late Dec or Jan applicants: @Limanye , @Holymoses , @Chingy , Wunmiakoda, and me, @HisAma (we talked about it in mid-Sept). My husband's application was received Jan 10...

Hi Limanye, my situation and timing is very similar to yours. I'm Canadian and sponsoring my husband from Ghana. We used the 2016 forms and docs, which were received Jan 10, 2017. I was approved as a sponsor and the application was in progress within about a month. We have not been contacted...

CIC Client Centre 1-888-242-2100. Try to verify every field-- spelling of everything, caps, etc. Good luck!

I agree that MyCIC doesn't provided much info. But for those who are still trying to connect, I just got my husband's to link after weeks of trying. My big discovery is that the information needed to link his account was based on his previous application for a visitor visa, which was denied...

Thanks for the feedback. My husband wasn't so sure if it would be worthwhile to go to AVO either. You certainly provided enough information to convince me that it is pointless. I didn't realize AVO covered THAT many countries. No wonder this process takes so long. I have been staying positive...

Hello all! I’m new to your forum. I've read about your many struggles, long waits in silence and know that it takes a lot of prayer and patience to carry us through each day. Here is my timeline: Jan 10, 2017 - Application received in Canada (submitted the old forms as before the Jan 30...
