I am very certain my grandmother did not know what really a refugee claim is. She and her daughter (my mother) was told by that lawyer lady (not CIC) that she would have to file the refugee claim so that it would make it easier for her to come and go often to both countries. She just did as she...

And now my generous Canadian government is granting 25,000 refugees ( I wonder who will pay their trip here ???) without family ties/sponsors/funds into this country on a red carpet. CIC suddenly becomes their babysitter and I am sure they will be well informed on their rights and...

My grandmother did not file a "false" refugee claim. Our family is not like that. We do everything legal but we were malformed and are victims of those who told us what to do and where to go. We are not smart people that know these things about the imm. laws and so forth. My grandmother is a...

I just finished speaking with my mother a moment ago.Both my mother and my grandmother were not well informed that if her refugee application status would be denied that she would have a hard and long time to re-apply later. The Canadian Immigration officer, as far as my mother can recall made...

Thanks Scylla. I will tell that to her fiancee. I don,t know what they will do. I am sure he would want to know if he could marry her while he is in Canada and she is in Colombia. Any advantage if he has to go himself to Colombia ? What he needs to bring once he gets there, documents etc...

Hello Scylla. I got some facts straightened out this morning from my parents. My grandmother arrived in July 2013 on tourist visitor visa and during the first few months she applied for refugee status. She was hoping to get that as she was seeing a lady to help her fill out the necessary papers...

I know my grandmother and I am sure she would not do anything illegal by overstaying. All I Know that during the 2 years she was here she never went out of the country. I will ask my mother if she indeed renewed it after every 6 months as she is more knowledgeable about that matter and it is she...

Scylla, sorry I forgot to ask you something. I was just talking with my grandmother'e fiancee just now. He wants to know if he marries her in Colombia, what are the chances she will be accepted according to him being : 64 years old now getting his full pension in 3 months, he does not have a job...

Thanks Scylla. No, she stayed 2 straight years as she thought that was it and had to re-apply in Colombia again. She had no knowledge of extension. She really wants to go back to Colombia from time to time because of family but on the other hand she also has her daughter with 3 grandchildren...

She came in with a regular visitor visa which expired this August. She does not have much money in Colombia except for a small condo that she owns, fully paid, and has a sister and son who live separately in their own homes. Perhaps I should have mentioned that during her stay in Montreal she...

Thanks Scylla. I will ask my father what kind of visa she had. Yes, she stayed a full 2 years with us also babysitting my 4 year old sister and doing housework and cooking while my parents were working and my sister and I were in school. She is 55 years old and her husband ( my grandfather) died...
