Hi all.
Very sad news my app was returned OWP and PR application. Inland received Oct 16th. So devastated they waited 8months to return. I forgot to put Ireland in the address for my mother. Super frustrated as I payed thousands to a lawyer to make sure this didn't happen. My visitor visa expired a few weeks after and I was told I didn't need to apply for a new one as I had "implied status". Now I have no status and a returned package. Now im unsure to cancel and go home and apply outland as I haven't seen my family in almost two years, leaving my spouse behind and risking not getting back to Canada with the pandemic, or re submit and hope I don't go to the back of the queue again and not see my family for at least another year. My lawyer mentioned I've lost my chance of getting an owp now as i've no status so that's why im thinking would outland be better.
I also have dual citizenship so could I apply for an IEC and resubmit so I can hopefully can work? i've already been 8 months without working!!!
Thats horrific that they're still returning applications from October, I guess mine is also a possibility for that since it's not been checked yet, sorry to hear about this
applying for IEC would be a good bet in my opinion, depending on what your second citizenship is (I'm guessing you've already done it with your Irish passport?), you'll probably get a permit via IEC faster than with PR, then you can reapply during that time
By the way, did your application get returned via post or via e-mail? Resubmitting essentially puts you at the back of the queue, its so unfair.
