Thanks guys, it has ended in praise. congracts becos for joining the queue at accra. if anyone on the group has lived in any country for up to six months please make sure you get a police report for that country so you dont add extra waiting time to the already lengthy time.

the landing process was simple and stress free. when asked each time what i was coming to Canada for, i said i was making my first landing to join my spouse and other straight forward questions followed and i was done in few mins. please remember to do a list of what you are bringing with you and estimate how much in Canadian dollars, you will need that at customs. you can read up on this thread to understand whats its all about http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/b4-form-guide-for-entering-canada-t291843.0.html . it is called the PERSONAL EFFECTS ACCOUNTING DOCUMENT.

if i remember more i will let you know.

Freshychichi, I can tell you, the waiting is terrible and unbearable sometimes. I check my inbox and spam day in and day out. If am talking to my spouse on Skype, I fill like busting through the computer to be right there with my spouse .lol. The good news is that, any day that passes by, draw us ever closer to be with our spouse.
In Jehovah I put my trust.

I have gone through the family class forum and discovered there is no thread for Accra applicants.

I am one, my hubby sent in our application in january and still waiting for sponsorship approval

Hubby resides in Canada. Also hoping to hear from people who have applied through Accra in the past

Hoping to hear good news soon!!!! ;) ;)
Please is there a spread sheet for this group?
Family sponsor to be precise

Good question. Is there? I'm part of the August 2016 Spousal Outland group and our spread sheet is AH-mazing! Who ever made it has some serious skills. July and June's don't look nearly as good.

So is there, a doc for this group? Anyone with mad excel skills want to attempt one?

Welcome @Shanda9! And congratulations to all those receiving PR!

Just wondering if anyone is using a representative/lawyer? Or if most people are doing the process by themselves.

How do you know when your app has been filed? Are people counting that day as the day they mailed it? Or the day you get notification that it is in?
from the day it was received..

check September 2016 outland or August 2016 outland spreadsheet
