Yes we got PPR however timeline is not a regular one.

March 2017 - application received
April 2018 - application refused
No interview, just refusal
August 2018- got phone call that we have been selected for ADR
November 2018- won appeal in ADR
January 19th 2019- pre arrival service
January 28th 2019- Remedical, police and other documents requested
March 1st 2019- background started
March 20th 2019- PPR


For those who may not be familiar, when you appeal a refusal, depending on the complexity of your case, you either get:

1) ADR - alternative dispute resolution. It’s shorter and informal court-like hearing where the sponsor answers questions. If appeal is allowed, your file goes back to Accra and you 99% of time get visa within 4-6 months

2) full appeal which is with judge and regular court proceedings. It takes 2 years from the time you submitted appeal to the time you will get a court date. Sponsor attends in Canada while judge does phone interview with applicant. It’s the most painstaking process ever. Nobody ever wishes for full hearing.

And I pray that none of you still waiting for answers ever get refused in Jesus name. It’s a daunting journey but in all I bless God that we are almost there. We could have still been waiting on court date for 2020 if we went straight to full hearing but even in the pain of refusal, God still showed up.

So now we are just waiting on pick up email from Accra.

Was hoping I could speak to you concerning the ADR process you went through. Our application was refused and I have a few questions. From the conversation I had with the lawyer, he is fairly certain we will qualify for Judicial review.

I am in Canada, sponsoring my wife and her dependents. I have already sourced out a lawyer and meeting with him next week.

For anyone reading this, please do not be concerned over your own applications. Accra is attempting to make a simple issue complex based on bias.

May I ask what the issue is?

it is good that you have a lawyer. They should be 'coaching' you on the types of questions which will be asked of you and your spouse and how you should respond. .
