Hi everyone!
Been following the forum from some time but new to posting. Let me know if this is okay here or if it would be better to start our own thread.
I am a Canadian and will be sponsoring my husband in Accra after our marriage in January. We were wondering if it will be okay to apply straight away after getting married or does that look bad in CIC's eyes? Is there any tips or suggestions anyone can offer us? Thanks so much. We have been seeing many of you getting approved so quickly so we are praying for the same

How long did u date prior to marriage? And how much proof of your pre-marriage dating do you have? Me and my wife dated for almost 2 years prior to our marriage, then applied straight away. I d assume the more history you have, the better.

So long as you can comply with all the necessary requirements and relevant documents and you can prove your relationship, I believe you can submit outright. CIC's function is ministerial in nature, the fact that you have all the needed requirements and proofs,then it is incumbent upon them to accommodate your application.Best wishes on your upcoming wedding and on your application.

I think it's one of the forms that you need to click on the "verify" button after you're done filling it out then a barcode appears.

Hi abscott,

Here are my details.

USERNAME : PaddyO
Visa Office : Sydney
Medicals Done : 12/07/2013
Application Sent Date App : 02/08/2013
CPC-M received as per tracking : 06/08/2013
Stage 1 AOR : Not received
Sponsorship Approval : 30/08/2013
AOR from Visa Office : 25/09/2013

Let's hope all the August applicants get their applications processed in record time.
Hi paddyO, you're updated by our friend mrsalvaro, sorry for not replying immediately my husband was hospitalized due to Dengue fever, he got discharged just yesterday so I can not attend fully to the spreadsheet and the thread up to this time...We had his flight rescheduled maybe a week from now until he's completely okay...

We're so thankful to God for his fast recovery and complete healing... :) ;D :)

God is really good all the time...

Let's hope for the best, anyway God works with love, mercy and grace always...

abscott

Hi guys,

I have a question. How long does it take from the letter that they send stating that the sponsorship approved and that they have sent the file to the VO until I receive the AOR? (or is it the same thing, pardon my ignorance)

Hello PaddyO, you've been added to the spreadsheet already and you are currently on row # 11.

Welcome to our thread! And congrats on your 2nd AOR from your VO! ;) ;) ;)
Thanks mrsalvaro. It's great to be playing the waiting game with others.

Some June applicants from the Sydney VO are starting to see their applications go In Process. Hopefully the August group aren't too far behind.
