Should I start with good or bad news?
Good news: I received an email from Cic that I have citizenship test on March 5, 2018.
Bad news: out of nowhere I received an email from IRCC Calgary saying:
On 25 oct 2012, You were granted permanent residence status in Canada, based on an Application and Undertaking submitted by your sponsor, XXX. We have reason to believe that you may have misrepresented your relationship with that sponsor in order to gain status as a permanent resident of Canada.
It is alleged that you may be inadmissible to Canada under section 40 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, specifically:
40. (1) A permanent resident or a foreign national is inadmissible for misrepresentation
(a) for directly or indirectly misrepresenting or withholding material facts relating to a relevant matter that induces or could induce an error in the administration of this Act;
Regulation 4 of the Act states:
4. (1) For the purposes of these Regulations, a foreign national shall not be considered a spouse, a common-law partner or a conjugal partner of a person if the marriage, common-law partnership or conjugal partnership
(a) was entered into primarily for the purpose of acquiring any status or privilege under the Act; or
b) is not genuine.
You are requested to provide the following;
· Please provide a detailed account of what happened with your marriage to your sponsor including:
o How and when you met and when you decided to marry
o The circumstances that led to the breakdown of this marriage, to explain why and when your relationship ended, if applicable
o Any efforts that were made to save your marriage
· Provide evidence to support that you were in a genuine relationship before and after the date you became a permanent resident of Canada.
Please send the requested information/documents to this office within forty-five (45) days of the date of this letter. If you do not, a decision will be made based on the information available on your file. Should you not comply with the above request, a determination that you have not complied, could be made. Furthermore, this may result in the preparation of a section 44 report for non-compliance and may be referred to the Immigration Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board for an admissibility hearing and subsequent issuance of a removal order, if applicable.
A decision to allow you to remain in Canada or to seek to have a removal order issued against you will be made in the near future. The next step in this process is to conduct a review of the circumstances of your case. If an opinion is made that your case should be referred for review by the Immigration and Refugee Board, a report will be written and, along with the details of your case, will be forwarded for review.
You may make a written submission providing reasons why a removal order should not be sought. Etc.....
Long story short, Edmonton is making me citizen, Calgary on the other hand, trying to strip off my PR. We got seperated on feb 2014 and divorced finalized july 2015. She wanted a divorce. I have a son born july 2012. So don’t know what to do... and why am I facing this after more than 5 years?? So what is going to happen when I write and pass my test? Is this going to be an issue?
So I APPRECIATE ALL KINDS OF HELP AS TIME IS THE ESSENCE...
Thanks in advance
