I am the guy waiting from 4 months. Haven’t heard a word about reopening the application, haven’t received any correspondence. I received settlement after receiving rule 9, my case (inland spousal sponsorship) had a huge error in the law. I received procedural fairness for genuineness of relationship. After that I removed my consultant and responded with solid bulk evidence and but still was refused a month later. I filed for JR with one of the lawyers in Toronto.
After receiving rule 9, it was quite evident that the immigration officer who rendered the refusal didn’t bother looking at my submitted response which was in bulk. I got settlement by IRCC on October 18th 2021. My lawyer filed discontinuous after 2-3 days I guess.
I am still waiting to hear back… The immigration office is Etobicoke local office which is known for its delays and carelessness. Please if anybody know how much longer do I have to wait, please let me know or anything I can do to expedite the procedure. I am bugging my lawyer from 2 weeks now to follow with department of justice but he is saying when the case was settled the Ircc lawyer who gave settlement mentioned to expect a significant delay in processing of the application. I no longer see my application in ecas tool since they remove the application from there after 6 months of refusal. I haven’t met my parents back home from 8 years. I’m devastated to think that I have not been able to attend few family funerals as well. I have missed a lot of things because of error in Canadian immigration.
