I went through a very similar experience. It was painfully long, without much information along the way. As I remember CIC and the Embassy will deal with her, you are not kept informed at all, even though you're the sponsor. The Embassy will contact your spouse when they need her to do something...

A bit off topic here but do any of you know what it the difficulty in returning to UZ if you never filled out the exit visa? She basically left like she was going on vacation, but never returned.

I guess we share similar timelines, I think mine was a couple months longer :( Thankfully it all worked out for you and me!

I don't have any answers for you except make sure you fill it out in black ink , not blue, no idea why but it is.

I totally agree. I once phoned the CDN Embassy in Moscow, where the phone rang and I was left listening to a recorded message. I thought eventually I would be allowed some direction to route my call. But no, I had to listen to the message, and finally at the final few seconds of the message it...

Gary what CIC wants to ensure is that you can prevent her from collecting benefits from the government. They won't allow you to proceed if you are on welfare or are in prison. Claiming bankruptcy doesn't prevent you from earning an income, it just means you have credit issues, and that's not...

Sponsorship is a voyage filled with outrageous delays in the processing of applications. Mine took 22 months, and I had no mistakes! >:( All the best to those that are currently in the process, or are about to enter the CIC zone. ;) There is a forum that may help some of you out with...

AC that sounds like a very well thought out file! It will make for easy skimming by those underpaid hard working souls at CIC ::) Don't forget to add updates below your user ID ;)

I wish you all the best while you are stuck having to wait for CIC to get the documents processed. AC99, 600 pages is overkill! What they need is a genuine story of your relationship. 200 photos is too many, I think I sent in 5 or 6. One where she has her arms around me, one in front of the...

The Embassy doesn't allow you to visit to pick up your visa. They also don't answer the phone. All you can do is email them. Be sure all your documents are done properly.

Why would any of us even want a thief to visit our country. Do my country a favour and stay in Ghana. I hope any efforts you make are refused by CIC.

Realising some time has passed, how long did it take adambeholder? Has anyone applied recently? I know what CIC posts and what the reality is are two different things.

I waited 22 months for my sponsorship to get completed. What's the latest on your file now?

Nothing is surprising when CIC is involved. What's the latest on the application?

What do you mean by a 'group of five?' You, your wife, and three children?
