W have today been informed by the Government (IRCC) that a file number has been assigned to the family of 5 refugees from the Central African Republic, currently living in Krisan Refugee Camp in Ghana. This is the family related to the two sisters who we sponsored almost 3 years ago. The fact that a file number has been assigned suggests that the paperwork that we submitted has been assessed as complete and is a positive sign. The next step would be for them to be invited for an interview by a visa officer in Ghana but all indications are that the waiting time for this is about 4 years.

This sponsorship is currently unfunded: we need about $30,000 to pay for the first year of support, Please keep this need in your prayers as we try to re-unite this family.
