They gave me my decision right on spot! I was so excited!!Hello,
My husband and I are waiting for our appeal decision.
My spousal sponsorship application was refused on April 1, 2022. I filed for the appeal right away. We had our virtual hearing with IAD on March 9, 2023 and we are still waiting for our appeal decision.
Our spousal sponsorship application was refused due to misrepresentation, sections 16 (1) and 40.
Does anyone know how long it will take to get our appeal decision? It has been two months since our virtual hearing. Does anyone know the chances for our appeal to be approved?
Thank you for your support

My appeal hearing was approximately 60 days after submitting disclosure and the Appeal Readiness Meeting.
Hello,
I would like to have an advice on a broken hearted refusal letter from Accra office.
My application is 6 years old and I have just gotten a 5 years ban for misrepresentation.
I failed to declare that I use to live in the USA and I was offered a PFL letter which I responded to.They noticed acknowledgment of the response and asked me for an FBI police certificate that I provided.Now they are refusing my application and they give me an option to appeal in 30 days.
Could I have a chance to win the appeal?
What lawyer do you recommend?
It’s Québec application.
Thanks for helping me out

Sorry to hear!
I understand your frustration. I went through the same when I sponsored my wife and we got rejeted. I appealed the decision and built a very strong evidence book and represented my self in court without a lawyer. Gather as much evidence you can, whatsapp/viber messages or calls. Letters from family members. Pictures, receipts of vacation if you did any etc, Anything you can think of to help your case. I presented my whole life to them from the moment I met my wife.
Best of luck and I hope you will win!
Thanks for the reply.The thing is that they are not questioning the genuineness of my relationship.They are accusing me for failing to declare that I have been in the states...
They hold my application for 6 years ,and now they are rejecting it even though they did not find anything fishy on my PCC.
Thanks again
I doubt you will be able to overcome the 5-year ban. Not declaring you lived in another country is a big deal.
Thanks for your response.So may be I will not hire a lawyer and let my sponsor file for an appeal and reresent herself.That way if we fail to overturn it,we will not loose the lawyer money.
I'm no lawyer, so please don't take my post as advice. I just believe you are very unlikely to overcome the ban.
If you have a misrepresentation ban then you definitely needs to hire an immigration lawyer to try to overturn it. This is generally extremely difficult to do. It sounds like the misrepresentation ban was correctly applied in your case so the chances of success are likely going to be close to nil. Sorry. Good luck.
Thanks a lot.
I honestly explained to the officer when I was served with PFL that it was an honest mistake and he asked me for FBI and States PCC,but he /she decides to reject and ban me..
I will not even waist my time and energy on an appeal.I am truly drained by the 6years the process took. I will ask my spouse to join me here in my country.
I don’t know wether there will be any chance if we reapply back after the ban though.
Even if you responded to the PFL with an explanation, a refusal was always still possible. To be very honest, failing to declare that you lived in a country is a huge omission and even with the PFL response, it would have been hard for the officer to understand how this could have been an honest mistake.
Anyway, I think it makes sense not to appeal. I think it will be very hard to overturn the refusal and ban.
You can reapply once the ban is over. Make sure the details in this application are accurate. Make sure you declare all past refusals, including this most recent Canadian refusal and ban.
I will thank you for your time.I will not appeal .You are being of a very big help in all the forum I ‘ve been watching.God bless you.
