Honestly this form IMM 5669 is causing the most issues. Most of the cases of appeals are surrounding this "misrepresentation" if previously refused. I don't think anyone will intentionally check of No if previously refused. I hope after this year once they realize the main issue with this form at immigration refugee board maybe they can make some changes towards this form that the visa officers atleast have applicants correct their error prior to final decision. No fear sweetie as long as the lawyer made some clerical errors honestly yes you will have the waiting game however appeal within Canada they process it somewhat another waiting game. On average, it takes 4 months from the time your representative submits your Appeal application to the Board until you receive a decision. steps... (oops, accidentally posted before I was done) ... after reading @HisAma’s story, I went back and checked that refusal letter again and began to wonder if we would land in the same boat but didn’t want to discourage myself without reason. We don’t have the letter yet, but this is what I’m guessing is the issue.
1.Make sure to first draft a strong letter from the lawyer admitting to his mistake and his clients should not have to pay for is negligence.
2.Ensure you present every detail from previous visa refusal
3.I am not sure you want the same lawyer to represent you due to his errors
Typicaly they do not permit grounds for appeal for misrepresentation however unless the foreign national in question is the sponsor’s spouse, common-law partner or child.
the quote to be exact in the Immigration refugee protection Act- Appeals
5.8. Loss of appeal rights
A64 specifies the circumstances under which a foreign national, a sponsor or a permanent
resident loses their right of appeal. No appeal may be made to the IAD by a foreign national or
their sponsor or by a permanent resident in respect of a decision that was based on a
determination that the foreign national or permanent resident has been found to be inadmissible
on grounds of security, violating human or international rights, serious criminality or organized
criminality. Serious criminality is further defined in A64(2).
A64(3) also provides for the loss of appeal rights in respect of a decision that was based on a
finding of inadmissibility on the ground of misrepresentation, unless the foreign national in
question is the sponsor’s spouse, common-law partner or child.
