Hello , I got an update from IRCC …. I got notice of intent to intervene
The minister said he will not be present at my hearing.
Also his saying that when I was 16 a denied visa but when they asked I said I was never denied. But my defence is that I was a kid and my parents did all my application.
2. They are saying in 2019 my application to extend study permit was refused and I didn’t say it in my application.
also my defence is that the question was were you ever denied a visa… I never thought it meant a SP.
3. They are asking why did it take me this long to claim refugee if have been in canada 4 years ago.
My question is has anyone had this kind of encounter before. and how was the hearing? Was it hard and what was the decision.
The best thing to do is, whatever information you submit to IRCC or IRB that is permanently recorded, so it's always best to go through and cross check from your end before submitting. Once you submit you don't have choice unless they ask you for an explanation.
I had previous refusals and mentioned on the form (BOC). I looked up on my applications which printed and kept safely, I took information from there according to the applications. I was asked by the IRCC officer during my 2nd eligibility interview about my refusals though I put accurate information and she just wanted be clear one more time. She told me, I see you mentioned about your previous visa refusals and we found same information through out your fingerprints. Luckily I wasn't asked too much questions about refusals but she inquired about multiple refusals and I answered perfectly including dates and she was satisfied, the case referred to IRB, now still waiting for hearing date.
