    Same thing happened to me at the ADR. They said they believed me but still wanted to talk to my wife because they didn't believe her yet. My advice to anyone in an ADR ... come prepared to prove your partner is genuine. The MC asked me questions and gave me if there was anything I wanted to say...

    no ... reapply is a whole new process. They would not accept your application unless there was something different about your case anyways. So, if you were refused because they deemed your relationship is not genuine, you would have to present enough information for them to consider your...

    wow ... you really are in a bad mood. I agree with your first post about the visa officers' unreasonable determination of what is a "genuine" relationship. In my opinion, they have no right to even make that judgment. Relationships come in so many different forms ... nobody is qualified to say...

    answers to your questions: 1 - I don't think IRB accepts anything other than printed copy. 2 - I submitted over 1000 pages of translated text. I used an online translator. The IRB and Minister's counsel did not object and accepted the evidence. I used...

    ADR is just you (and your lawyer if you have one), a representative from the IAD and the Minister's Counsel. There is no one else ... no calls are made, etc. The ADR is meant to be a quick attempt at a resolution to your case. The whole meeting takes less than an hour.

    There are no witnesses at the ADR. If you have a full hearing you have the option to have witnesses. They can either be physically present at the hearing or they can be called.

    Careful ... if you apply and are not successful you will have to answer "yes" to the question have you ever been refused entry into Canada. That is probably a red flag when re-submitting your forms after successful appeal I think so anyways ... if some other member can clarify.
