Hi Guys,
So if anybody is wondering why they haven't opened their files, Ghana is really slow at these things. When I applied under PNP for Manitoba, it took me 2 years from the onset of everything. I am now applying for my wife to come over. I have applied for that since July 2014, was approved and her details were sent to Accra on September 15. I held on to not pay the Landing Fees till January. Once I paid the fee in January, my lawyers received a message saying her file is on review. This is the message we received from our lawyer...
"I trust that this message meets you both well. We received communication from the visa office (attached) advising us that our last submission (of your RPRF receipt) has been received and your application is now in queue for review. We now await further advisement from the visa office and hope to receive this no later than end of April 2015." IN QUEUE FOR REVIEW. THEY AREN'T EVEN REVIEWING IT YET...
Now, what I did in the past was totally forgot the application for my Permanent Residence and didn't even think of it anymore since it was taking long. I used to check every week as I am doing now for my wife's papers and trust me I understand what most people are going through. It's not easy. But I'm sure everyone's decision will be made when the time is right.
Take care guys....
