Hello to all valued members of this forum. Never thought I’d be in this situation but here we go:
I’ve landed in Canada in 2015 and spent around a month or so. Went back again in 2016 to do an exam for my engineering license and settle but then left in September 2016 because my partner ,at the time, in Australia wasn’t ready to move just yet and needed an extra 6 months or so to move (she’s not Canadian). Upon my return, I had a temporary job offer until she’s ready for the move. During these 6 months, and actually shortly after I returned, I started having health issues. My hormone levels were playing up and then shortly after I suffered a really bad anal fissure, problems all over (which was discovered due to almost non existent vitamin D levels) and developed really bad allergies towards grass. They were really bad that I used to get flacky and crusty all over my body and it progressed to be rash all over my body that burn and itches. All of that, lucky me, was in the first quarter of 2017 after I came back from Canada (where I noticed my rash has started). I’ve been suffering for almost until early this year. The fissure is almost healed (a year and 8 months later) but my allergies are still not completely responsive to the current vials that my specialist is using (shots that I take every 4 weeks as desensitisation treatment that lasts for years). I’m body isn’t reacting well to high dosages of the treatment that I should maintain. This August and possibly earlier, I’ll be getting the new vial to try and see how will my body react.
Given how green Canada is, with all the lovely nature, this could be lethal. Also, the allergies I have are accompanied by eczema which loves cold weather. I’m sure you all know how cold it gets in Canada, which ironically, I love! I’m currently living in Australia which isn’t that green and not as beautiful nor that cold and yet I’m still suffering. On top of what was happening, I’ve seen rheumatologist, dietician due to digestion issue, gatrologist that I’m still seeing and a number general surgeons for my fissure as well as general surgeons and allergists. Thankfully with constant and continues care I was getting, I didn’t need to do any surgeries (specially on my fissure) and all bed diseases were ruled out. Now given that I’ve been away for so long, I’m in breach of the RO(coming to about 5 months now). Also, it’s best to wait and see how I will react to the new vial/serum that I will be on soon. Probably I’d have a year or a little over/less left on my PR card (expires July 2020). My questions are as follows:
- Given that I’m in breach and everything is subjective when it comes to H&C reasons, which is the best way to enter Canada without being noticed that I’m in breach of RO? not having to explain the situation and hoping the officer would understand is ideal even though my reasons could be valid. I’ve heard the train would be best (given that they don’t scan the PR cards and there are many passengers that officers need to process quickly) followed by Toronto automated kiosks. What are the best ways of these aren’t the best?
- On top of what I explained above as they were the main reasons for not being able to move (or even thinking about anything at the time apart from getting better), I’ve applied for my Australian citizenship and awaiting a decision for a while now. Unfortunately, for Australia to make a decision on my application; I have to be in the country for that to happen and the timeline keeps changing so I don’t know when this will take place. Can that count towards my H&C grounds as an additional reason? Or would that affect my reasons negatively?
- Another reason as well, I had to do a lot of papers to finalise my national service in my home country (army is compulsory where I’m from but not for some people in specific situation and I fall in that category) that took almost a year and it was finalised in October 2018 favourably. Would that count towards my H&C? and would it be perceived positively? Notice that I started the process here in Australia and was given a one year passport until the situation is finalised
- Another reason which I hope that this could add to my case is that I have undergone an orthodontics treatment that took years and I’ve finished but they do check ups every now and then and my last check up is November 2019. Could this help with my H&C grounds?
- As I’m planning to make Canada my home for good, assume I get reported, can some people who have been in those situations or just know about similar situations; recommend the best lawyers to contact? I don’t want to file the one page appeal if I’m in that situation. I prefer if a lawyer does that while I’m present
Given the above, would this be a compelling case to grant me a relief when it comes to my RO compliance?
I’m sorry if I’ve taken so much to explain but I’m trying to paint a full picture (given how unique the situation is) and would love to get your opinions and experiences whether you’ve been through a similar situation or simply know about similar situations
