Please look this over:
The processing times between Visa Offices for spousal visas, especially the Accra Visa Office, varies considerably. We believe that resources should be assigned to ensure that applications are processed efficiently regardless of their location. Processing times for applications should be consistent without some offices processing applications much faster than others.
Section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights guarantees equal rights. Yet those of us relying on offices such as the Accra Visa Office do not feel that our applications are being treated equally when compared to other visa offices processing applications in a much faster timeframe.
Not only are our applications taking considerably longer to process, the political climate in the countries served by the Accra Visa Office prevents those of us who are reliant on applications being processed through the office from being with our spouses during the processing time. Visa offices with much quicker processing times are also those where the applicants have more freedom to move to and from the country during the processing time.
Applicants from developed countries are usually freer to enter Canada before an application is submitted, and are able to stay in Canada while their applications are being processed, or are free to visit with their spouses during the processing of their applications. But many of the countries that are served by the Accra Visa Office also have travel warning advisories. That is, our government is warning us not to travel to these particular countries, these countries where those we love are living.
Not only is the processing time longer for us and our ability to spend time with our spouses limited, but we also have limited information on the progress of our application during the processing period. Messages in the online applications aren’t kept up-to-date or are inconsistent. We have noticed also that applications aren’t always processed in the same order as they were submitted.
While we understand that some processes within the application process is out of the control of the Canadian government, resources should be in place to ensure equality when processing of applications.

@RoamingSpirit I doubt there is any other letter that can beat this one. It screams PERFECTION. thank you
I suggest that once everyone or at least quite a majority of us have agreed on the tex from @RoamingSpirit , we should all copy it and pass on to our individual sponsors to send to the minister and their MP. So for example lets say @RoamingSpirit sends on monday then @me2605 on tuesday and so on. Please remember to ask sponsors to add their UCI no as the subject and then names at the foot of the letter. Yo can find out who your MP is and their contact info at the following link members . And email for the minister is as follows:
Ministerial.Enquiries.Division@cic.gc.ca
Minister@cic.gc.ca
Ahmed.hussen@parl.gc.ca
Ministerial.Enquiries.Division@cic.gc.ca
Minister@cic.gc.ca
Ahmed.hussen@parl.gc.ca
Great .... But i would suggest those with their applications closer to the 12months line to send their letters first. This would help prompt the minister's attention on how the VO is really doing.
Hello I haven’t heard anything yet from them hoping to hear Goodnews soon
A quick update on my case concerning the waiting for PPR. My wife went to see the lawyer and the Lawyer told us, the waiting period for additional documents requested usually takes 30 to 90 days and since we still in the 30 to 90 days period, we should just Waite for 2more weeks and then he’ll send them an email
I cleaned it up a little and added a paragraph. See if you guys are happier with this:
The processing times between visa offices for spousal visas varies considerably. This seems to be especially true of the Accra Visa Office which appears to lag considerably behind other visa offices, especially those in developed countries. We believe that additional resources should be assigned to offices such as the Accra Visa Office to ensure that applications are processed efficiently regardless of their location. Processing times for applications should be consistent.

Newcomers to Canada are expected to abide by the values of Canada, which we believe to be demonstrating fairness, respect, equality and equity. Our expectation is that our government demonstrates the same values when delivering services.
While we do acknowledge and appreciate that considerable work has been achieved to reduce overall processing times of spousal visas, and while we understand that some processes are out of the control of the Canadian government, resources should be in place to ensure fairness, respect, equality and equity when processing of applications. We need to not only reduce the processing times, but also reduce the gap in processing times between visa offices to ensure fair treatment of all current and future Canadians.
