    CIC made a MISTAKE, what can we do?

    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...

    CIC made a MISTAKE, what can we do?

    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?

    Visitors visa rejected - what do I do?

    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...

    Visitors visa rejected - what do I do?

    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.

    Visitors visa rejected - what do I do?

    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

    Visitors visa rejected - what do I do?

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

    Visitors visa rejected - what do I do?

    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.

    Visitors visa rejected - what do I do?

    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...

    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...
