Thanks for the responses. I am shocked there's no recourse for such a monumental mess up on CICs behalf.

Could it be possible to get an extension on correcting the issue of the marriage due to their mistake? It really seems unfathomable the sheer magnitude of this CIC mess up. CIC also emailed the wife to say that they made a mistake on a Next-Step letter, but made no mention of an error on the...

I understand that part, yes. But they also sent an approval afterward and then a slew of next-step emails. So, like I said, the husband has blown up his life (quit his job, etc. etc.). Any legal recourse?

Hi there, Writing this on behalf of a friend going through the Skilled Worker path for PR. She actually is now a PR as of Feb 22. Basically, she was applying and her husband was also applying for PR as her dependent. CIC denied his PR application as they did not find him to be a family...

Thanks scylla, I'll look into this!

Hi there, My friend in Uganda (known him for 14 years now, wow!), is a trained doctor who received his credentials from a university in Kampala, UG. He is, due to COVID's effects, without a job and there is no work for doctors in UG unless you are wealthy and well-connected. I am looking...

Thanks for the heads up

Talked with CIC today they had some information that helped to get the visa on the right track, or at least strengthen it. They mentioned making a strong case for why my family and I are not going to Uganda, and showing proof of our longstanding friendship. They also mentioned there is no...

The ticket was bought with points and I’m looking into getting it redeemed. But the flight wasn’t my main concern. Thank you though for all your suggestions. I really appreciate it. I’ll post with more questions probably tomorrow heh.

well 10k would be more than I have, let alone him. maybe 2k sent to him would be manageable, but he doesn't own any property. frustrating that the government can't just know him - so much easier! heh

sorry, 10,000 CAD? That seems really high. And can you explain the property piece you mentioned. I don't understand that.

ugh. gutshot. so best guess - what would you think a proper amount for a 10day visit be? i\'m assuming i can send him funds for him to put in his bank to then use for the appeal.

to be honest, i'm not even upset about the flight. i'm really just wanting him to come visit and searching for answers on how to ensure a better outcome. thanks for all the replies though.

would calling them help anything? he provided references from government hospitals saying who he was and that he would return. maybe a letter from the ministry of health stating he starts work in october would help? as for finances, does it help to show multiple bank statements rather than just...

How do I even address those reasons? He can’t change his travel history or finances.

My friend from Uganda had his visitors visa application rejected because they are not satisfied he will leave due to: - travel history (which he’s never left Uganda) - purpose of his visit - personal assets. What can I do here?? He has a flight leaving aug 14, is it possible to do anything...

I did write an invitation letter that included: - my request and reason (visit for a vacation) - when we are planning his visit (August - couldn't be more specific) - how long I knew him (since 2008) - that I will be financially responsible for him in Canada - that I know he will return and the...

Hi everyone So I mentioned in another post that I am trying to bring my Ugandan friend to Canada for a visit. He is asking for my PR Card, Passport and proof of my financials (bank statement). Is this legitimate? I just want to be sure before proceeding, as I don't fully see the logic in...

okay great. thank you for the advice!

I'm wanting to bring my good friend from Uganda to visit me in Canada. We're currently working on his TRV application. That being said, I would like him to visit in August, and I'm assuming he'll be submitting in another week or two. Is this enough time to get a visa returned? AND, more...
