I had applied for a common law application in 2021 which was withdrawn by my
Partner due to some errors in the application.We had received 2 letters with the same date from IRCC one for the sponsor (my partner) which states the application was withdrawn. I, PA received the letter which states below
“
I have completed the assessment of your application for permanent residence under the Spouse or Common-Law Partner in Canada Class. I have determined that you do not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada under this class.
Subsection 12(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that a foreign national may be selected as a member of the family class on the basis of their relationship as the spouse, common-law partner, child, parent or other prescribed family member of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
Section 126 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations states that a decision shall not be made on an application for permanent residence by a foreign national as a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class if the sponsor withdraws their sponsorship application in respect of that foreign national.
We received correspondence from your sponsor requesting to withdraw his/her sponsorship application on 2020/11/16. As a result, I am not able to make a decision on your application. Your application has been closed and no further processing will take place. This office cannot provide you with any additional information about the withdrawal of the sponsorship.
Note that if processing commenced on your application prior to the instruction to withdraw, the processing fee can no longer be refunded. The Right of Permanent Residence fee, if already paid, is refundable. The Biometrics fee is only refundable if you or your applicable dependents) have not previously enrolled for this service. All refunds will be processed within six to eight weeks and will be issued to the payee. If the fee was paid by credit card, it will be credited back to the credit card account. Otherwise, a cheque will be mailed to the payee's address in approximately six weeks to eight weeks.
Thank you for the interest you have shown in Canada.”
Someone who I know said this was actually a refusal letter. But I received the $1060 government fee back which I had paid. I’m so confused. Is it a refusal letter for common law or is it just a generic withdrawal letter which PA receives?
