Thread for Acrra Ghana applicants

[Denne]

Which day in August did you apply? Like what is your registered application date?

I also asked my lawyer to send a CSE yesterday to tell them about our medicals. Worth a shot.

16th August.
What about you?

Will do, although I'm not hopeful they'll reply because she sent a CSE over two months ago and they never responded.

What day did you get sponsor approval/ your app was transferred to Accra?

There's no need for all these back and forth. My heart leaped for joy when I saw 2 unread pages, I thought there was abundance of goodnews only for this but all I see is people praying and hoping thier applications get processed in ample time. But to think VO's just pin point randomly and start processing doesn't make sense in my own opinion.

If the old and new system runs separately is something we ll find out with time. Then again if people will be more specific while giving out info then that will help us better.
Someone said some Jan/Feb applicants have gotten PPR, is it AVO under spousal category cos I for one know a couple that was processed in 4months, same AVO but under PNP so this doesn't count in this context. Then again we cannot deny the fact that some apps are treated with more urgency cos of a peculiar situation e.g. Health. We have seen that happen earlier in this thread. So some factors can help facilitate some apps but that doesn't mean that is the time frame generally.

At the end of it all, this too shall pass someday soon.

Yes those I know got it through the spousal sponsorship Outland

Pls I have an important question.

Anyone here that had a course to do a name change for any reason? We submitted our app in my maiden name reason being that we got married in US and couldn't do all that process then but we sure needed to push out the application. Now am in Nigeria and we think we should do it now since my passport is about to expire too so we can change everything once. It saves us time and money I'll get my PR card in my husbands name now rather than having to start doing the process afterwards

Now I know normally " change of name" isn't such a big deal but can't say exactly for this process. I've read CIC site but still want practical ideas. Pls any useful info would be appreciated. Thanks

hi everyone
sponsoring outland

if your waiting for PR approval after medical has been reviewed and passed. while waiting since turnaround time has become brutal is it wise to submit a temp visa to visit? or is that not allowed while waiting?

You can try for it. You're allowed to apply, it's just you really need to try and convince them the principal applicant won't stay in Canada and will return to their home country. They are difficult visas to get especially when you're in the pr process. Difficult but not impossible.

@Sugarcoconut, seeing how your are an August applicant, I'd say leave it alone unless your passport is going to expire before December. Reason is, that even though I went through the trouble of changing my name and everything before we applied for my husband last October...CIC still corresponds to me and identifies me using my maiden name from when I came here as a kid with my parents almost 30 years ago!! They don't care. My GCMS notes show them changing the married name back to my maiden name before approving my sponsorship application.

For those who are wondering about the UCI number, I believe it's almost like your "SIN card" with CRA. If you have ever interacted with them (e.g. for TRV or any other immigration purposes) and supplied demographic information about yourself, they assign you a UCI number and that is somewhat permanent. They will find that number and associate the information with you if your apply for anything else in the future.
