Waiting for IRCCs response after submitting reply to Procedural Fairness Letter

[Will.I.AM]

Can people share here how long they've waited before they get a response from IRCC after replying to Procedural Fairness Letter?

I know it's a case-to-case basis but were there instances where IRCC responded after few weeks or just after a month?

It varies massively. Anywhere from a few weeks to over a year in some cases.

Did you get a reply after your submission to pfl?

Did you get a reply after your submission to pfl?

Yes, got a positive reply after a month. Technically mine is not a PFL but a hybrid of PFL and request for additional docs. I considered it a hybrid because IRCC asked for an additional doc and at the same time asked me for an explanation but was not cited of any IRPA article.

Do you mind me asking what was your situation? I think I had gotten something similar. Although article 16 of IRPA was cited, article 40 wasn't cited

No I dont mind at all. Actually I didnt read that I need to submit additional documents regarding the remark on my police clearance. Furthermore, I answered No to the question if I have ever convicted, charged or party to an offense because it didnt register to me that a simple infraction happened 20 yrs ago emcompasses to that question as Im not aware that it was filed as a case for not paying the fine. I explained the situation in all honesty and admitted my mistake on answering the question. I made my application represented by an immigration lawyer to make sure we're addressing what are needed and provided explanation backed up with facts.

I would suggest if you were cited by an article from IRPA to seek help from an immigration lawyer as thats your last chance on proving you deserve getting permanent residency.

I have somewhat of a similar situation. I flagpoled to get my PGWP and didn't realize that constituted as a refusal of admission. I got a "Request Letter" but the contents are similar of that of a PFL and asking me why I answered No to the question "have you ever been refused admission to Canada or any other Country". I have hired a lawyer and they are building up a strong reply.

I have mentioned in my Travel History that I went for Flagpoling on that day and also in my Letter of Explanation. I don't think the officer looked at those since there was no reference to that in his notes. The only thing written in the notes are "Concerns letter regarding statuory questions sent this date".

Did anyone go through anything similar? Any advice?

Is IRCC asking additional documents from you?If none and they are asking for an explanation and cited IRPA articles and IRCC mentioned "I have concerns..." then I believe thats a PFL. You did the right thing by getting an immigration lawyer and all you have to do is to be honest and be apologetic on your explanation. Goodluck!

Hello, so where you refused a visa that you did not declare at the end? I'm in a similar situation only because of my ignorance and nothing intentional. How did you reply at the end? The thing is I was not aware that my application for visa actually came through as I did not even submit a passport so I concluded that I was never rejected. So I mentioned in the PRC application that I was never rejected a visa to any other country, Also I do not have any proof, though tried to email the embassy but did not manage to. Please if you have any advice

Hi there,
I am in the exact same situation now. I flagpoled and did not mention in my trv application. I have submitted a response letter with the help of rcic. Could you tell me what happened to your application and how long did it take for you to get a response ?

Thanks

[Q.VU]

Does anybody know if IRCC will send you a notice that they received your PFL response and it is being reviewed, OR will they just keep silence til a decision is made?
