I have been following this forum for almost a year now and I have learnt alot from people sharing meaningful information but your comments above is the most shocking I have read thus far that I had to register to respond. You actually just made a case for arrant nonsense?!!! Which other Country(US,Aussie,UK) takes 14 months to reunite familes? On top of that they wouldn't issued visas to travel to Canada yet Syrian refugees can be processed at the speed of light. This clearly shows that it is possible to reunite families faster than 14months. How on earth should it take 14months to process 1 file? That shows lack of accountability or maybe no one cares. Do you know how many homes have been destroyed because of the wait? I submitted since January for my wife and not a word from Accra; my wife's family think I am not doing enough to bring her here because other couples who got married after us have had their spouse join them in UK and US (took 3months or less). I am in total support of brining this to the attention of the world so that those after us don't go through this hell. Something somewhere or some place need to change in the process,if they do not know what it is they should hire the right professionals to redesign their current process because it is not reuniting families!
