They actually didn't! I don't know if we were lucky or they were just nice, or maybe our case was really obviously framed by the VO. The judge and the minister counsel didn't give us a hard time, and the judge was trying to relax the atmosphere and the process. However, our lawyer did say there are couple minister counsels in Vancouver are pretty tough.....good thing we didn't encounter any of them. No matter what, evidence can talk, and they wanna see how you present yourself, so just fully prepared, don't be afraid of the minister counsel if he/she is tough as the judge will stop him/her if he/she goes to far.carolbb23 said:
Hey stay calm, my husband and I were in the same boat. We both suffered from depression and anxiety, our life was ruined by a stranger with cruel lies. This is how the the system works: appeal to get your justice back. For now, you can only wait for the decision of ADR. It will shorten your suffering if you get ADR.Client.PK2014 said:
Calm down and review your Blue Book very very carefully, see what evidence you can provide to against every concern of the VO. Prepare how to say it when they question your husband at the ADR or hearing. Our lawyer did help us a lot about the evidence for every concern, and some of them that my husband and I didn't even think of.
I came back to Canada too to face the appeal with my husband, and I was given a hard time at the Customs. I explained to the Customs officer what happened to us and beg her to let me stay the longest as my husband and I have to stay together to support each other. I was all in tears, and she was touched and gave me the longest 6 months, what an angel.
Please calm down, I understand exactly what you are being through, but you got to stay strong for each other and deal with the appeal. It will be nice if you can get ADR, but if you don't, the full hearing is not necessarily a bad thing. Go back to view all the posting in this forum, you will get pretty good idea what will happen next.
I don't know which city your husband (the sponsor) filed your appeal??? In Vancouver, ADR will take 6 to 8 months since filing the appeal, and full hearing can take 9 to 13 months (ours took 10 months since filing appeal).
What's done is done. We can't change the fact, but we can make our future better. We just won our appeal, please search my name to check my experience.
Wish you the best!
Hi wjmund, is there any update after you and your wife sent in all the papers? And your case is in Ottawa or Hongkong?wjmund said:
My visa office is Hongkong too. We just won our appeal on Jan. 13th 2017 and haven't got the approval letter yet. Should I do re-medical and police certificate right away or wait a little bit?
According to your timeline after winning appeal, seems I can do it asap??? I can do re-medical right now as it's effective for 1 year, but I'm worried about the police certificate as it only effective for 3 months.
Thanks a lot!
So, you were requested to send in additional evidence as soon as possible in June, and you didn't comply until January of the following year? We were never afforded the chance for ADR, so I can't speak from experience, but I wonder if you've already missed your window of opportunity for ADR consideration. Did the letter give you a deadline?Client.PK2014 said:
Is your lawyer giving you any guidance? He knows your case better than anyone on this forum, so would be in a better position to answer your questions.Client.PK2014 said:
If you've already sent in your evidence as requested, you just wait, and wait ... and wait some more. IAD will contact your lawyer when they are ready to schedule an ADR, or a full hearing. Previously, I think you were allowed to send in additional evidence for consideration up to 10 days before the ADR conference, 20 days before the full hearing. Unless you are in Vancouver, I think it's about a 9 month wait for ADR, and 2 - 3 years for the full hearing.
For the ADR, you're on your own. Your lawyer can be present, but is not allowed to speak. So, as other people have suggested, go through your refusal letter, bluebook, and evidence in detail, and start preparing. Your lawyer should be able to help you with your preparations. Asking pointed questions, and critiquing your answers.
Previously, you had mentioned that you had hired a lawyer in Toronto. Will your hearing take place in Edmonton, or Toronto? In either case, i think it's about a 2-year wait from when you filed your appeal. If you are able to have your hearing in Vancouver, it'll be much faster.tony000 said:
it took us about a month or so to go from security check to RFV (ready for visa). Note ... there is a difference between background check and security check. If your ATIP notes say background check then it might mean you have a longer wait.Hasan2016 said:

Dear friends, any one can answer my questions will be greatly appreciated!
-After winning appeal, can I redo medical before I get request email? If yes, how? Because I don't have a form. Should I give the medical clinic my
UCI/IUC?
-Is that right that medical effective for 1 year? And police certificate effective for 3 months?
Thank you in advance!

In Cuba the Police certificate is good for 1 year and the Medical for 1 year and you can ask for an extension on the medicals. I would think it is the same in most countries as Canada would allow the extension or not.
I received so called blue book (just 120 pages) after 120 days and submitted more than 1500 pages of supporting documents to the IRB in Apr 2016, and when I called them to check, I was told that my case is going for full hearing, and I would be notified 3 months before the hearing date, which is going to be in 2018 or so, this is insane.wait_so_long said:
The immigration system and the bureaucracy is very slow. VOs thinks they are GOD. They make families suffer.
The only option left for me, is write a short/crispy letter to each and every MP of Canadian Parliament, and also send it to some media houses, to bring it to every Canadian's notice.
