yes! We are being asked to provide some more documentation and are getting a letter from a lawyer.

We just received a letter asking for more information and the opportunity for a Procedural Fairness Letter.

Yes, thank you! Just wanted a variety of opinions but will now be hiring a lawyer :)

We began our application for PR sponsorship with an immigration consultant but have decided as the case is getting more complex we’d like to have a lawyer. How do we switch representation and do we need to inform the consultant of this?

I thought so as well. It’s not like marriage came as a last minute decision! We would then have to quickly notify immigration Canada correct? If we are refused as common law but are married and reapply quickly as married but my partner is out of status, do you think it would still be ok as...

Yes. so the issue is that we have had our wedding planned for July 17th for almost a year (not a spur of the moment decision and we can prove that with contracts etc) That would be our religious ceremony and reception. However, we were wondering if we did another small and civil ceremony now...

Would it be frowned upon to get married while our PR application for common law sponsorship is in progress? How would we go about this?

I want to be prepared so that we can make the right decisions and be prepared to send another application in a timely manner. If we get married before the July 17th date do you think this would be frowned upon?

If it takes months and the CBSA takes action, is it possible to get the lawyer involved saying hey we sent this (with a receipt and copy)? The thing is, we are already going to be getting married in the middle of all of this. What are your suggestions?

I thought there was a public policy that protected against this at least while an application is pending, especially if it inland.

Is it technically possible for a common law couple who is going to be getting married in July to reapply for sponsorship as a married instead of common law if the first (common law sponsorship) is refused? (If application is prepared and completed ahead of time to be ready for the possibility)...

Thank you. We are thinking of switching representation from Immigration consultant to Lawyer for this. I have also done some more research that read that you can always reapply after refusal. The public policy implies that the sponsored person can wait in Canada during that process. Regardless...

I’ve heard of people getting this letter and being fine as well. The only thing is that we have already sent in all the documents we possibly have and have just about run out of other proof. Not sure if there is something we can do it if anyone has any other ideas! The reason I’m already...

We have received a letter saying the evidence we have provided is insufficient and a chance to show more. Is this the same as the Procedural Fairness Letter? I understand what you have explained regarding the time frame. If the CBSA is notified by a lawyer etc that you are reapplying, is there...

Thank you! We have shown many bills with the same address although all utilities were covered by my parents. I will also include Amazon orders etc. So If the application is refused and we resubmit when married the public policy is no longer there? Although it is a legitimate new and complete...

Thank you for the advice! Do you think the affidavit will help a lot in place of the lease agreement?

I believe you can actually, to federal court. You can also defer or stay a deportation order with a lawyer.

Is it possible to have a lawyer appeal this decision? I find it crazy to believe that because a couple doesn’t have a lease its the be all or end all when we have so many other pieces of proof that show we are genuine etc.

As mentioned, we have provided as much proof that we have as possible!! The only thing missing is a signed lease. We have a letter from my father stating the living arrangement. I was not planning on withdrawing the application and applying again. I was planning on getting married and...

#17 September 27th 2019 is the day the restoration letter was refused and he was officially out of status. Okay, my understanding was that since there was an application pending, they cannot remove him
