Thank you for your response… If it happens is it necessary to attach both refusal letters or emails and explain about the refusals reasons while reapplying?
Procedural fairness letter
- Thread starter Mangath
- Start date
No. You just need to declare both refusals and provide a short explanation of what visa was refused and why.
Was the PFL addressed to both of you? The PFL has to be addressed first and there are no timelines for a decision. It is possible that he may get approved but you applied tied to his application and not separately. He is tied to your error. You will always need to mention any refusals when applying for any permit not just Canada. Canada, US, UK, NZ and AUS share immigration information. Why did he start school without a study permit? May want to consider deferring .
PFL was addressed to me but as you said I didn’t apply separately. Actually my husband received university admission on July and once he deterred September semester as it took a while to apply for visa and thought we may experience delays in study permit processing or may be unable to travel to Canada due to travel restrictions, as we live in South Africa. So he decided to start studying online for the first semester. To be honest we didn’t expect such a mistake (which was completely unintentional) and certain circumstances in PFL and delays for our case. We hoped they may consider the university timelines for students.
IRCC doesn't really consider university timelines but processes study permits at their own pace. Processing times have unfortunately been quite a bit slower recently due to COVID.
However your case is very different now. Due to the PFL, your application is now non-standard which means normal processing times don't apply. You'll just have to wait and hope for either an approval or refusal without a ban.
No point contacting them to ask that the process the application faster. They won't consider your request.
Good luck.
Your husband will want to decide about whether to defer or continue online without study permit. As mentioned, there is no expedited processing as PFLs are serious.
I hope you’re able to get refunds of your fees if denied or at least partial refund. If not, I would consider whether it is a good idea to keep studying before you can get your funds back this term.
Hi again everybody
The other time we replied the procedural fairness I couldn’t find my previous refusal visa from Australia. Now I have found it. Does it matter for cic to get previous rejection letter or not? Does it have any positive effect on their decision if I send them now?
If you are past the time for replying to PFL then no. IRCC already knows you were refused and have all the information from Australia.
Hi everyone
Today we’ve received a new message in our gckey portal for medical examination, is it a good news which our visa is going to be accepted ? Is it a positive answer for our procedural fairness response? Also, my husband has received a message which he’s asked to send some proof of funds, military service documents and proof of his South African residency what do these mean?

Looks like your file is being considered. Impossible to say whether you will be approved or not.
Hello,
I too have revived a PFL for my work permit application recently, I wanted to know what are the chances of visa after this. Also I had simultaneously applied for visitor visa, is it suggested to withdraw the vv application as it can get affected.
