One thing you don't know about accra visa office....

If you mistakenly apply through this visa office from the lot , you've invited a nightmare and also have called on stress throughout the process....."kw33333".


The visa officers are lazy wroff!!

 

[PitObi23]

You're right. They will waste your time, and the delay can cause strain on some marriages. Too bad we couldn't select our visa office from the get go, to avoid all these shenanigans.

 

[gapoha]

A peaceful demonstration need to be organized and petition need to presented to the embassy from Ghana. stating to them how all other countries in the world been able to process application within 4 months and they are using over a year. What kind of system are they using. The could go a long way for them to be investigated. delay of some application could be understood based on the nature of their application or their case. But they can't tell us every applicant in that office has issues they need to delay their application. It shows how they don't have respect for us as African. Especially West Africa. I willing to assist to sort finding for a demonstration at that embassy they will bring media men to take coverage of it and show it to the world. I'm an applicant, got my many years ago but I just feel concern for what people are going through. I can see India and many countries are processing within 4 months. So at least some applications in Accra office should be able to be process within 6 months. Anyone who support my view can reach out and we can plan something. We can get some fund and get guys down there to organize a demo to the embassy with banners. Thank you all and be strong.

 

[gapoha]

And do we have a whatsapp group for Accra office?

Ok this is what I will say, a demonstration is not the best route....That will cost a lot of energy. Already energy is gone. We can report the office via email to the board of directors and get some workers who work there like Mariame Traore who is a French speaking lady and are good at delaying the process and it shouldn't be just one person sending this email to the board....

Everyone who cares must submit their side of the story to query the officers working at accra office and why there's such issues going on....

On the contrary, ircc really don't care that much because it's not your papers alone they are processing in Canada so if you cant wait for them to decide, who cares. Stay in your country and they will use other offices good images to buttress their argument of error.


The sad thing also is, most of the officers are not married so not so many really understand what marriage is all about.....I just received a gsmc I requested about my wife's application which I applied in May and it came in September and I didn't even check....And you won't believe what I saw. It's like a whole booklet and I was like fuck it. It will take me forever to finish reading each line....

GSMC team, sorry, I didn't request for food in paper or document form....And I aren't eating this to quench my anger and hunger at the same time.


The public relations message going out there is canada immigration cares about family but you and I know that on a scale of 1 to 5, that statement is -1 already.

Now if you look at the website the timelien for sponsorship is 24 months so if anybody hasn't spent 2 years waiting time already, then you are still within the zone of waiting.....


A new government must come to power to change certain policies. The new immigration minister Sean Fraser has even spoiled everything


Backlog is now 2.7 million but the recent news stated that they've done well and are reducing the figures....approving some 100 applications requires for an applause....


Funny!!

My wife just got her good news today...funny process

Ok so here is my wife's timeline. I'm a Canadian. I almost involved a judge into this

We planned on getting married in 2019 but pushed to 2020 and in 2020, covid messed up everything. Ghana banned all international travel and I wasn't ready to go to ghana neither.

We decided to still get married anyways without my presence in September 2020 for the first part=Traditional wedding(Don't use my route because it will backfire)

1.We applied for TRV in October 16, 2020=got rejected
2.We applied again for TRV in November 20, 2022= got rejected
3.Applied for TRV again in January 16, 2021= Still in process
4.Applied for her sponsorship in April 19, 2021=Got returned due to signature missing
4.Applied for another TRV in April 20, 2021= Still in process
5.Recieved returned Sponsorship letter in May 25, we signed and re-applied again on May 26 and they received it May 31, 2021
6.Travelled back to ghana to do the final part of the marriage in June 2021 due to the covid delay for the real white wedding
7.Application started processing August 09, 2021
7.Several ADR request was sent for Original Marriage certificate because I wasn't there in October 14, 2021
8.Medical request sent in November 1st 2021
9.Another ADR for original marriage certificate we did at the church was asked, another medical and several questions about our marriage and relationship sent in March 21,2022 = We told them every truth like am sharing with you here. I wasn't present and usually when one partner is not around during the wedding, it is not accepted or recognized by IRCC but our case is different
10.They massaged us and said a decision will be made on the file in the coming weeks in July 8, 2022
11.They responded after 3 month in July 13 for receiving all documents asked in March 21, 2021
12.Background, and eligibility all finished in September 08, 2022
13.Pre-Arrival service letter sent on September 08, 2022(if I tell you emails I sent to both accra visa office, Canada immigration, key officials like MP both in Canada and in Ghana etc, you won't believe) but above all, God was behind pulling the curtains
14.October 17, Decision made on E-cas
But file number and wrong travel document# provided on new tracker dashboard
15.PPR: October 20, 2022

Wasting people's time!! Born in Canada but was raised in ghana all my life
