I have met on-line a girl from Ghana. I have stated that money will not be a part of our relationship... she needs no money. I believe I have fallen I love with her and we have much in common. I do have the funds to travel to Ghana. I have a criminal record and am presently inquiring to Ghana govt about my admissibility to travel to Ghana. US airlines not an option. What am I looking at? If I can't got to Ghana, what are my options? I have communicated with this girl for a month and am willing to continue for a certain amount of time. How can I get her to Canada?

Of course money will be part of it in a month of so, The sad story will hit,

But she gets her passport from her government, she gets a visa from the Candian embassy. Buys a plane ticket and she comes there.

Save any any tourist would. She comes and visits, if she want to stay after she gets her, she applies for a change in her visa status.

People from Ghana come and go from there every day just like any other major natio

Is that what she is asking of you, to get her to Canada, no money, just wants to come to Canada?

Ghana seems to be a hotbed for scams. You may read some of the posts if you do a search.

Be aware, this may be a scam, only a different approach.

As for you travelling, having to pass through the US you will need a valid Canadian passport and you stated you have a criminal record. I don't see options, but I just bet she needs money for numerous things, passport, travel expenses, a airline ticket And as soon as you send her money for these things, you will never hear from her again.

To get there needs only a different airline... klm does fly but limits the options as for time... she has not actually stated a desire to come to canada... only to be with me. She has not asked about visa or immigration, only her desire to be with me and to be a part of my life

All this after only a month?

She knows of my waryness. She wants to be patient and to develop the relationship. She wants to meet through video call and telephone so that we are both sure of what we want... I am instigating the process and answering the questions... not her

How do you have much in common?

We both want the same thing in life. We both have similar interests in sports, life, attitude and so much more... I look forward to talking to her everyday and she is the same. I have told her all my faults and she to me. She has been offended when I discuss money in respect to her... as if to let me know that money is not important... I have talked to her only a month but may decide to travel in 2 months... I am not feeling rushed and she does not want to rush... I hear a lot of negatives from you so-called eexperts... any positives at all?

If she comes here and I marry her here, can she stay?. I see above it only takes a change to the visa, I also hear she must return to ghana to apply for visa? Which one is it... a or b

Hello o:

If she's REAL, I'm happy for you... But, I don't think she is.

excon

How did she find you?

OK... iseemed to have asked the wrong people. Is it not possible to love a girl in ghana? Is it then not possible for a girl from ghana to fall in love with me? If she comes to canada, can she change her visa to stay? Can I go to ghana? These are easy questions from experts, yet all I hear is opinion, not facts.

I am with excon, I am happy for you if it works out (is that enough of a positive for you). Most people don't like what they hear. We don't know you from a hole in the ground and all responses are perfectly honest. Do you not want honesty, or perhaps some sugar coating?

I do take exception to your 'so called expert' comment. We all give our own time voluntarily to this site and some of us have been here for years and earned a modicum of respect from others for what we are putting into it.

If you want information on her ability to stay here, how she can get here and if she can stay, phone the Cdn department of immigration if you want absolutely rock hard no holds barred info.

As for you travelling there with a criminal record, forget it.

Take the chip off your shoulder and just read what we are telling you.

All of the reddies were a given. I knew that was coming.

These are differing answers from experts... I asked simple questions and got opinion. I came here to find answers and have gotten some but others are not helpful and full of suspicion. I have had other contacts that were clearly fraudulent... I am not a nube and I have not been asked for money, nor have I sent any. Why can't I go there? I thought only us is so strict? I know that question is not on visa form... would I just get stopped at the airport... I have never been out of canada

99.99 of the dating of women in Ghana are scams, they use fake photos, hire young girls to do a few web cams. Use stolen or bought passports and so on.

There are rooms full of men, women and grandmas who sit at computers and type all day to 1000's of web sites to find someone. They start by asking for nothing, but soon all of a sudden after they have you hooked ask for a couple hundred, then something else happens.

If this girl had the money to come to the US, she would just be here now, there are 1000;s of people from Ghana within a few miles of me. Some good, some bad and so on. I had lunch with some today.

I have never heard of one online where it was a real girl that ever showed up, but I can show you 1000's of posts for scams.

Just Google ghana dating scam. Often you may find the name or photo of the girl you are talking to listed, but often after someone is listed they change names and photos.

But travel to Ghana, yes, I travel there from time to time, a great place to vacation. I love it there and the people.

Travel from there, yes very easy,their passport and visa are very cheap and they have wonderful air service in and out of nation.

I have no chip. I get impatient when I get an answer to a question I did not ask. What is "reddies"? Q1: why can't I go to Ghana with a criminal record as only the USA is so strict with entry? Q2: Can she stay if she comes here and I marry her here? Q3: If I marry her there, if I can go there, how long until I bring her here? Q4: is there any other options like alternate country, me immigrating to there? I am not blind, I have heard your responses... hear my questions... not what you think I want to hear.

I have explored the ghana dating scam... spent several hours looking to discredit this girl... I cant... yet

We are only suspicious because we don't want to jeopardize the poster.

Yes, (I am a Canadian too) US is strict when you are travelling their air space, and what are you missing here, and I have said three times that you have a criminal record, you need a VALID PASPORT do you have one?

I have talked to pardons canada... they indicated I can get my passport

You should be able to travel to Ghana, you will need a visa for Ghana to enter and a Passport, you will fly international flight from Canada, so you will not have to pass though US immigration issues.

She can come to Canada, often a student visa is easiest and she goes to school and then later can ask for a change to a resident visa.

Even with a tourist she can ask for it to be changed after she is here for a while

Then why did I go through all of that when you already knew ? Get a passport app online, answer all and send the fee and go from there and whatever Pardons say to do.

OK... I have rechecked for the passport... I was not 100% sure... govt has been wrong before... like always. It seems that I can get a passport... tickle... no insult intended... just not sure. Student visa good idea, never thought of that... thats why I came to this website, to get further info and I do thank you for that. I have done a lot of homework and will not go blind... never been to africa, good vacation anyway. I will visit this website often to get further advice and am sorry for "chip"... you all mean well. Thank you for your answers
