    An american citizen living in ghana
    I have purchased a ticket for a woman to come to me in Canada. She has an american passport but now she says she needs a medical to leave Ghana. But she does NOT need a medical to visit Canada.
    Does she need a medical to leave Ghana and how much does it cost?

    This is one of the most world famous scams in the entire world. I hope you did a prepaid ticket that she could not cash and you can get a refund for.

    No there is no medical, she is trying to cheat you out of money. She does not even need a visa to enter Canada as an American Citizen. She can go to the American embassy to get help. If you just have to send money, Any money you send should be sent to the embassy for her to get. Never by western union.

    First this is most likely not even a women and for sure not an american. It is a room full of people who use fake or stolen ID to cheat people out of money

    Just Google Ghana dating scam and you will find 100's of thousands of scams listed.

    First this is most likely not even a american

    This sounds like a scam. Don't send any money.

    You're being scammed. Once you pay for the medical things, something else will come up that she will need money for.

    Cut your losses now and walk away.
