    PFL for not disclosing US Voluntary Departure.

    @scylla @Naturgrl Case update: To close the loop and for others benefit. I hired legal counsel to respond to the PFL, though I largely wrote the response myself. IRCC responded to the PFL in about 1 month, asking for passport submission. I imagine and hope that my passport is being requested...

    PFL for not disclosing US Voluntary Departure.

    Admin processing = refusal? I didn't know that. Hmm...I thought the US refused my application 2 - 2.5 years later or something, much like how now IRCC came back after 3.25 years on my app. I am indeed over-thinking in trying to show case and prove my innocence.

    PFL for not disclosing US Voluntary Departure.

    Agreed. And Thanks so much again. I am struggling with what proof to provide for #1. Ironically, it is only after receiving the IRCC PFL did I realize that my US visa app (2013) was perhaps a refusal. Until I tracked the application, 1 - 1.5 years after applying in 2013...it remained in Admin...

    PFL for not disclosing US Voluntary Departure.

    Agreed. I do not plan to leave any detail out. I was merely mentioning that I’ve read a case ( Sbayati vs Canada) where at the JR stage, a judge set the VO’s misrep decision aside. I plan to share all details and background circumstances of the two incidences, and as to why I thought I was...

    PFL for not disclosing US Voluntary Departure.

    Thank you! I surely understand the outcomes, unfortunately...stakes are high. I don't want my immigration record tarnished - any further. The answer to issue # 2 is surely 'No' in the TRV app. I have read a precedent case - same issue (VD from the US), and the JR judge agrees that the answer to...

    PFL for not disclosing US Voluntary Departure.

    Got it. Thank you! I'll apologize for the inadvertent mistake, take 100% responsibility, and provide the background. Not sure if it'll convince the VO.

    PFL for not disclosing US Voluntary Departure.

    @scylla - Thank you! Any case precedents that you may be aware of for issue no 1 above. Does it help if I cite precedent cases with similar unknowing misrep, which were successful at the JR stage? Should I lawyer up surely or try to respond myself.

    PFL for not disclosing US Voluntary Departure.

    @scylla @Naturgrl @legalfalcon - Everyone, need help please. Summary: I applied for a Canadian visit visa in March 2021. Received a PFL in May 2024 (stating a 5-year ban could be slapped) for misrepresentation of ‘US visa refusal and enforcement history’. Background: Resided in the US from...
