5669 is a TRAP form .....

So far on the positive light you have declared refusal of Canada there is only 2 check box for the admission slow. But the explanation part you should have declared both countries with that said USA/Canadian borders are like brothers and sisters they correspond with each other often.

then again the section is ticked off so its applicable for all countries so since you already declared that .
so its just that it states if you have any of the questionnaires as YES to provide details. And you did for Canada but not the other countries so this one is 50/50
Thanks @Cutie101 . We would get across to our immigration friend and ask if we should notify cic of the omission. I really wouldnt want to have issues that others have overcome on this page. Thanks for your response. It was a bit reassuring

Try to stay positive, the IMM5669 form is a trap.
Most people from other countries like Jamaica/India forums with similar errors/omissions are approved either by interview or waived interviews within 6 to 8months without delay.

The AVO should also consider fairness by requesting that the form should be updated by the applicant or request for interview before making a decision.

I concur...
So during appeal letter it shld be included that the AVO should have atleast as the applicant to correct the form prior to decision. The applicant has the right to be heard and this avo clearly did not do their due diligience.

Due diligence is required when processing PR applications and more countries are getting fair treatment compared to AVO.

I’m not just quoting the two countries that I did mentioned, but after reviewing numerous forums I did understand that there are more terrible omissions/errors that did occurred on most applicants application but the VO did send them a fairness letter and requesting that they correct/respond to the letter with explanation within 30days or 60days. Why is AVO difficult or any difference. God will help us all

I am very sorry@nwaefulu, just stay strong you will win at the end. My advice is make a right decision when it comes to a lawyer cos I was in a situation like yours before but I made my decision to do things myself due to my previous experience and my wife's application was approved without an interview so yes you can.

Good day all,

I was approved to sponsor my wife on April 28th 2017 and her application was forwarded to Accra Ghana on June 12 2017 and I sent them an email on Sep 1 2017 and below was their reply:

Dear Sir/Madam,


Please be advised that your application is currently in queue for review; however an exact schedule is not available at this time. As you know, all applications are reviewed in the order in which they were received. Please refer to the CIC web site for information on standard processing times:

http://www.cic.gc.ca

No further action is required by you at this time. We thank you for your patience and for keeping your correspondence to a minimum.


My worry is that I haven't received an official AOR2 from them or any update and her medical expired Nov already. Is there anyone with similar situation or have the same timeline like mine?

I dont understand why people still give their applications to some lawyers to mess up at the end of the day. Some are even paralegals. They dont know anything. My PR in canada i did it myself. I applied as skilled worker in 2003 after my program. Some told me because i did not give it to a lawyer it would be refused. What a lawyer can read, i can also read and understand more than he does. They take your money and screw up your life later. By the way, persevere and you shall succeed.
Nwaefulu,so sorry for what happened. Life goes on but never relent.I know how you are feeling as my family was in a similar situation before.We applied in 2014 , we were granted interview in 2016 to clear some doubts but due to our own error and not being honest enough,they refused my family.The decision letter was even sent same day.
I want to agree with cosey, some lawyers are not competent enough while some are paralegal.They don't even know as much as some of us do.I contacted a lawyer for an appeal case but he messed up the whole thing.He wasted our time and not competent enough.The case was dismissed.We ought to have re-applied and corrected all noticeable errors and save our time.
I have been filling all applications here in canada by self and it has been working well.Those incompetent lawyers are after their money.
My dear,if re-application will be a better option,pls do to avoid a waste of precious time of waiting for IAD decision.It may take up to a year and half for decision to be made unless the case is dimissed which can take up to 4 months to get a decision.
please check Internet, ask questions,seek information, contact different lawyers for a better option.
God will intervene in Jesus name.
We are February applicant (new application).We pray to hear good news soonest in Jesus name.

What is your timeline?
My app similar to yours... we are all waiting.
AvO has started reviewing feb 2017 applicants

If your wife gets approved you have to do medicals again. When did you apply initially?

We did get news today: application was refused as per GCKey. The official letter is not in the inbox yet, but I think we are in the same box as @HisAma. Our lawyer made a royal mess of our last visitor visa application, we tried to clean it up, but apparently we are still paying for his incompetence.
I am so sorry to read about your refusal nwae! I need you to remain strong though cant pretend to understand how it feels. Not sure of the details as yet, you may need to order GCSM notes and be prepared to fight the refusal. Hoping that the refusal is simply based on former unacknowledged visiting visa refusals details without any serious misrepresentation. Please be strong there surely will be light at the end of the turnel.
I can immagine how much am almost losing my head after waiting for this one year without being with my spouse.
