Just to clarify ... the ADR is you, the minister's counsel, your lawyer and a representative from the IAD. And the ADR will take max 1 hour. On the other hand, the full hearing has a judge ... in Vancouver it looks like a real courtroom with a judge at the front and a witness stand, etc. At the...

1) Yes ... lawyer sent everything in one package a few weeks after we received the blue book. It actually took about 8 weeks for us to assemble all the data and cover letter after we received the blue book 2) I can't say for sure ... but I believe it helped. The way I see it, I sent only a...

Yes ... sorry I was mistaken. My lawyer did everything for me but when I look back she had prepared a document touching on all the main points of the reason for refusal. In the letter, we discussed how we have been in contact every day since we met. We attached a lot more proof of our...

I don't think you send in your answers to those concerns at all. You just send additional proof. However, you must be ready to discuss the concerns of the minister's counsel at the ADR or full hearing. Also ... I know you are probably angry but be careful of your tone. I know my lawyer had to...

Hey all, So I requested my GCMS notes a month ago and received them today (of course ... lol). It appears my lawyer's assumption they were reviewing the case was in error. It seems like CIC Ottawa only acknowledged receiving the results 4 months 2 weeks after our successful appeal. It's all...

Thanks !

Thanks !

Thanks!

Well ... finally my wife got the medical request. Took 5 months 2 weeks from the date of our successful appeal. I was told that even after you have a successful appeal, Ottawa looks at your file one more time before they send it to the visa office for final processing. So, I assume the 5 months...

Re: SPOUSE APPEAL CASES So, you won the appeal in Jul, 2015 and they only contacted you 9 months later in April 2016? Is this correct? We have been waiting for over 5 months to be contacted too. Many people on this site are contacted within a month of winning the appeal. Did anyone from CIC...

Re: SPOUSE APPEAL CASES when did you get the letter/email requesting medical, etc.?

Yep 3 copies ... and yep that's what you want to provide. The more the better ... providing it is relevant. We provided an additional 1500 pages of chat log for our ADR/full hearing as well as proof of visiting, pictures with family, proof of financial support, etc. The chat log showed we...

The Blue Book will have all the documents you submitted in the original application so you only need to provide new evidence for the ADR. I don't think it is treated as a new application if you win ADR/Full hearing. For instance, there is no preliminary eligibility performed on the sponsor...

Hey oneness ... did you only receive the request for medical last month? So you waited a long time before they contacted you too?

Hey all, So, it's been almost 6 months since we won our appeal and we have not been contacted by CIC for a medical. Does anyone else have this problem? I have tried everything to contact the government to find out what is going on. I have called CIC (6 times!) IRB, CBSA ... the visa office ...

soblue ... don't despair. I don't think it is a conspiracy. It is just the usual government bureaucracy. Governments have no good processes. They are notorious for being inefficient. What I don't understand is why we even have to wait at all. I mean, the sponsor qualified when the application...

Coincidentally, I just received an email from CIC today after submitting a Canada Case Specific Enquiry 10 days ago. Says the same thing: "Please note that the processing times provided to you on our website are an approximation. Currently, your file is still in process and there is no maximum...

talk about a stupid VO !! He/she uses 3 negatives in a single sentence. so ... inadmissable means you are not admitted ... not inadmissable means you are allowed ... not not inadmissable means you are not allowed: "I am NOT satisfied that you are NOT INADMISSABLE and that you meet the...

Hey everyone, I notice some of us get the medical request letter quickly after the successful appeal (even as short as 1 month). I have been waiting for 4 months and others have been waiting even longer. I spoke with a lady at the IAD and she told me those applications that get a quick...

probably not ... maybe someone on the forum has had this experience
