    This isnt the start of our application, we've been waiting since Fall 2008. :( with 8-10 additional months directly attributed to the stall-time of CIC's NEGLIGENCE. This time is tracked via dated documents.

    HOW TO SUE CIC FOR NEGLIGENCE ??

    YORK FACTORY How do you not see the negligence in this? When they wrote to tell us that our application was declined, they did not provide the appropriate decline letters to us...and told us specifically "NO APPEAL RIGHTS APPLICABLE". When i told them i did have appeal rights, they wrote back...

    HOW TO SUE CIC FOR NEGLIGENCE ??

    Reason for denial...."not compelled" to let him in. No specific reason. In our CAIPS notes, the interviewing officer approved the permanent residence visa for family class sponsorship (he is my husband of 3 years, together for 6). They denied his ARC application after that for no reason given...

    HOW TO SUE CIC FOR NEGLIGENCE ??

    Hello, I am interested to find out how to start or join a lawsuit or find a lawyer who is successful in this aspect, regarding negligence at the hands of CIC. I realize that many people are rather upset at the length of time it takes for their applications to go through, or for cic "losing...

    ARC (Spousal Sponsorship for PR and ARC)

    Please see my previous postings under "CANADAMEXICO" for background details. So i believe the last update i gave, we had won our appeal of the ARC decline and the appeal board sent our case back to the embassy for processing. A few months later, the embassy asked for updated application...

    Mexico

    Regardless of what country you are in, if they tell you to get an ARC, and you are asked to attend interview, they will send someone to your country to interview you for the ARC by an officer specifically delegated to perform ARC interviews. The ARC was initially declined for us but i attended...

    Appeal ARC Application Decline (with Permanent Residence)

    P.S. My submission for the ADR conference was almost 30 pages. Also, if you haven't read my original previous postings over the last year, we were told by immigration, 2 members of parliament and the appeal board that we had no right of appeal and had no hope. That was in January. If i had...

    Appeal ARC Application Decline (with Permanent Residence)

    UPDATE: (if you want the background to this case, please see my previous posts) Since i last wrote, we were waiting for the "blue book" from the embassy in Mexico City so that we could move forward with our appeal of an ARC decline. We received the "Record" (otherwise known as the blue book)...

    Appeal ARC Application Decline (with Permanent Residence)

    Today, the MP inquired regarding the "blue book" being sent from the embassy to the appeal board for our case. The embassy in Mexico has not and is still reiterating we have no right of appeal and apparently asked if we had filed for judicial review yet. I sent the embassy the letter we had...

    Mexico

    Well, just to share our interview experience specifically: My husband attended his PR interview in Mexico City. It took place 8 months after we initially sent our application in. He said the mexican woman was nice/straighforward. It was in Spanish even though we requested English, because he...

    Appeal ARC Application Decline (with Permanent Residence)

    Ironically, that was exactly what i was about to say (and post). PMM you are exactly right :) In my case, my husband lived in Canada for over 3 years since he was 18/19 years old. He was also involved in a well documented incident of prejudice by a police officer, when he first arrived in...

    Appeal ARC Application Decline (with Permanent Residence)

    Oh, another thing. What is with this "asking for documents one piece at a time" thing that immigration has going on. Even in positive decisions, they ask for one document one month, then another document the next month, then another document the next month. Why don't they just ask for it all at...

    Appeal ARC Application Decline (with Permanent Residence)

    I guess the big lesson in all this is...no one cares about one's case except the person submitting it. And even your MP can be wrong and lead you down the wrong path. And, i wonder if this is how it goes for almost all cases regardless of bonafide marriage or not because they want to see how...
