jjalex hi. The problem I have is the choice of word used on the form ''refused admission'' and I understood that to mean 'being refused entry into Canada or any other country' and not visa issuance. they could have asked..'Have been refused visa to Canada or any other country' that would have been a better and clearer language for me. I have only heard of a case like that from someone in the Colombia visa office.
jjalex,
Some forumites have advised accordingly. Fill Sched A form again and upload it to your CSE. It's just better to be safe than sorry. Once you declare before they ask, it's not seen as concealing information.
My family was denied Canadian Visiting visa initially in 2008, but after a subtle appeal, we were given the visas within about 2 weeks on the same application. That didn't seem to me like refusal since we were eventually given but to remove all doubts, I wanna declare it via CSE now.

DeeBruv,
The question regarding refusal of admission is different from the one of refusal of visas. The one of refusal of visas (Permanent & Temporary) is the one everyone is trying to understand and cope with.

House,

AVO was on night duty because of my PPR. To the glory of God, PPR came in @ exactly 8:50am.

Jesus in indeed faithful.

Good morning, Forumites.

I just received the following email from AVO @ 11:03am today:

Dear Sir/ Madam,

Please note that your document is ready for pick-up. Kindly make an arrangement with a courier service to pick up your package.

Best regards,

Immigration Section


Immigration Program | Programme d'immigration (PA)

High Commission of Canada | Haut commissariat du Canada
P.O. Box 1639
42 Independence Ave., Accra, Ghana

Phone | Tél.: +233 (030) 2211521
Fax | Téléc: +233 (030) 2211524

Website: www.canadainternational.gc.ca/ghana

All glory, honour and adoration to Almighty God.

That was pretty fast - looks like AVO has raised the ante.

I got the PPR on June 11, 2015

Sent the passports on June 12, 2015

Passports got to AVO on June 15, 2015

AVO sent pick-up email on June 19, 2015

However, e-CAS is yet to be updated and it is still reading "IN PROCESS".

I pray that AVO will use the same tempo to process all other pending applications in Jesus name. AMEN!!!

Regards.

Good evening forumites. The lord has turned my frustration to joy o. My PPR majestically and miraculously popped in today while still on bed. Was a bit reluctant to check the mail so i wont loose the sleep so i slept off. Was woken up by a knock on the door and after attending to the person i decided to check the message that pooped in. Hmmm lo and behold the long awaited message came in exactly 8.02 am and when i tried opening it(hands shaking, heart pumping fast) i jst saw the first line that said visa appears ready. I was so happy that i almost summersaulted forgetting i get belle.

God said in his words that what so ever you ask in my NAME , i will do it. He did not answer me when i was relying on my power but when i gave up all and handed to him, he showed up. My advise to all awaiting members is that in the journey of life, at one point or the other, God tends to forcefully teach us patience which i must confess i have learnt in this journey.

I give all the glory to God almighty the beginning and the end , the one who can do all things and can bend protocols for our sake.
Also i appreciate all the forum members who at one point or the other been so worried about my case (pipi husband, fnb, royaldee, angel eyes, and how can i forget u oga bensonams for your encouraging words. May God bless you all. I know i must have skipped some names but pardon me, the memory thing comes with pregnancy. I appreciate you all.
the lord who did mine will definetly do for all awaiting one update or the other.

God is good and his mercy endureth forever. The dream of having my baby in canada is real now. Praise ye the lord.

But thank God,your expection was never cut off. I rejoice with you. As many people that are awaiting this good news, God will answer us all.

Cheers
