I asked my MP to check for me last September and they said our application was being processed, but they couldn't give any timeframe of when it would be completed. They said due to Covid to only contact them with emergencies. I will ask my MP again, though if I don't hear from them by next...

Before Covid hit the last person I saw on here (I think her name was Alicee) said that her appeal through Rabat took about a year as well. I think they put appeals at the bottom of the pile because we took them to court and got their decision overturned. It's not right, but that is what I...

Rabat, Morocco.

We won our appeal in February 2020 and it will be a year next month - haven't heard anything since submitting the forms they asked for in March.

I contacted my MP and this was the response: Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation some IRCC offices are currently operating with critical staff only. To support officers working to help clients with urgent applications, we ask for your collaboration in contacting us for urgent matters only...

Visa officers lie all the time - I guess they are allowed to. I would show in the GCMS notes/appeal record that you were never called - they should have interview notes for you as well if they are saying they called you. (Did they fabricate notes for your interview, or are there none there?) I...

For anyone who had a lawyer handle their appeal and won on the spot at the hearing. Did you wait until you received decision letter (2 weeks) to remove your lawyer as your representative? I was going to remove her this weekend, but didn't get her bill yet and unsure if I am supposed to wait...

If your appeal was allowed based on genuine marriage you cannot be turned down on that basis again. You can still be turned down if you don't pass the medical, background/criminal record check or for misrepresentation.

I took a witness as well, but the minister's counsel and judge decided to allow appeal before calling them to testify.

Judge made decision at the same time. She said we will get a letter in 2 weeks.

We won our appeal in Montreal yesterday (1 year, 1 month and 10 days after refusal). We told them what we thought about the lying visa officer(s) and the Minister's Counsel didn't say one thing in defense of them. The Minister's Counsel said she had no problem allowing the appeal after talking...

I would think the judge would decide before the hearing so that they didn't have to waste the court's time, but of all of the cases I read on CanLii the judge only sided with one couple (that wasn't a refugee case) and it was in the middle of the hearing, so he said he might as well finish...

That's great news! This should be all over for you soon then.:)

They say to wait until 31 days for GCMS notes, if you don't receive them reply to the email they sent you when you requested them and tell them you didn't get them yet. We had to wait 6 months to get our bluebook and that was only after I had my MP ask them why we didn't receive it yet. The...

Hopefully the judge cares. You might get ADR - the problem is they (Minister's counsel) are not very fair because they represent the IRCC, and in order to side with you they are going to have to admit the visa officer lied which makes the IRCC look bad. If they don't think you can prove it...

My lawyer asked IAD for a recording of the interview - they said they are not recorded. All our refusal reasons were made up as well. They usually do it on things you can't prove - like saying they knew nothing about your family (I provided chats and emails showing my husband did, but the...

I believe you that they lied! It is horrible they get away with this stuff. They even said in the interview that my husband had an unstable income when he had provided a copy of his contract in the application - they tried to say he lied about it by saying "I confronted him with his work...

Yes, that is true, but in our case the visa officer that interviewed my husband accused him of getting his friend to make up his insurance and kept trying to get my husband to take it back saying he would pretend he never saw it. He told my husband at the end of his interview he only had one...

Yes, the early resolution team thought the Minister might want to settle out of court because we disputed the interview notes that were put in over 2 months after the interview by a different visa officer, and also provided proof that the major things they said in the refusal note/fabricated...

Congratulations! So happy for you and your family!
