Dear :



Thank you for your correspondence of January 30, 2017, addressed to the Honourable Ahmed Hussen, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, concerning your sponsorship undertaking on behalf of your husband’s application for permanent residence. I apologize for the delay in responding.



Our records indicate that you have exercised your right to file an appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) of the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) against the refusal of your husband’s application. T



Subsection 70(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act obliges an officer to respect the decision of the IAD. Once the decision of the IAD is officially communicated to the visa office, immigration officials will act accordingly with the respect to the IAD’s instructions.



Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. I trust that the information provided is helpful.



Sincerely,

S. Langlois

Ministerial Enquiries Division

This electronic address is not available for reply.

So much for the new Immigration Minister's help.

Please follow the instructions.

If you were refused after the interview, and you chose to re-apply, that means you did not choose to appeal. If you did not appeal, there will be no hearing - that is, no court date.

There should be a substantive difference between your new application an the one that was refused, otherwise they won't even consider it.
 
hi, i need your help please!. I live in Toronto. I sponsored my wife oversea in Taiwan. We recently received a refusal letter with reason (I am not satisfied that your marriage to your sponsor is genuine). The thing is after I received the refusal letter, I have discovered more evidence of Conversation History online in Yahoo Messenger dating back 6 years ago. Should I reapply to sponsor to start everything over or should I appeal my case? Need your advise please.

So sorry to hear that.

But I don't think more evidence gonna make any difference as they don't believe your marriage is genuine. They will refuse again if you reapply. You should go for appeal. and remember its gonna take two years to get a date in Toronto if you case is going to selected for full hearing. You might get ADR. If your case is going to selected for ADR that means less than a year.


After receiving the refusal letter you have only 30 days to go for appeal. If you can afford a lawyer then go for it otherwise just do it yourself as you don't need a lawyer to submit you appeal documents. You can hire a lawyer later if you want to.
Best gegards.
 
I personally would appeal.You only have 30 days from the date you received the letter to do that. Then I would order GCMS notes in 30 days as it takes that long for them to update the questions they asked your spouse and the reasons for denial based on the answers your spouse gave. Not genuine is the standard answer they give for a denial. It will take 120 days or so to get the BLUE BOOK which is a copy of the application you submitted.

In my opinion based on others that I know that have reapplied have just been denied again. If you appeal and get an ADR that means they believe the reasons can be dealt with in an hour.

Even if you lose the appeal you can re apply. I was granted an ADR and won. Did not have a lawyer.

You have at least 4-5 months to gather info and prove your marriage is genuine.

When did your journey started
 
today my wife received her passport with VISA attached :)

The ordeal is over ;D

On a darker note, one of her friends married a very bad man in Canada. I don't know the details exactly but I have met her and she is very sincere ... I don't believe she is making this up.

She has only been with her husband in Canada for about 6 months. Does anybody know what are her options? If she leaves him does she have to go back to her country? Are there any resources she can contact to help her out?

If she can prove there is any format of abuse and reported to cic she can stay or separate from him and go to a woman support group or hotline

Congratulations! Finally.

With regards to the other matter ....

CarolBB23 is right, in that Condition 51 does not apply in cases of abuse:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/backgrounders/2012/2012-10-26a.asp
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/department/media/backgrounders/2012/2012-10-26b.asp

The immigration minister rescinded Condition 51 on December 15, but I don't know whether it was retroactive. Regardless, there are exceptions in the case of death of the sponsor, abuse, neglect, and the like.

Which city is your wife's friend in? Which family does she belong to? Many clans have benevolent associations that might be able to help; many provinces also have Legal Aid. Does she have any friends in Canada? Most places also have women's shelters.

What is her situation? Does she have a support network in Canada? If she has no family or friends in Canada, no job, and doesn't know the language, she way want to seriously think about going back to China.

Do you have a source on the Condition 51 being rescinded? To my knowledge, people have received COPRs with that still being on there since that point, and I cannot find an article that states outright it was rescinded. The only thing I've seen is people saying on the forum that it has been, but without an attributable source.

I'm afraid that my sources are even less reliable than yours:

https://www.hilltimes.com/2016/02/29/spouses-of-canadians-to-get-permanent-residency-immediately-mccallum/52239/45453

"Immigration Minister John McCallum told The Hill Times that under the amended Immigration rules, sponsored spouses won’t have to wait for two years to receive permanent resident status."

*****

Found a bit more, from a more reliable source. It will be retroactive if approved, but not expected to be in place until spring of 2017:

http://www.gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2016/2016-10-29/html/reg1-eng.php

"Objectives The objective of the proposed repeal of the conditional permanent residence regulatory provisions is to eliminate the requirement for spouses or partners to cohabit with their sponsor for two years."

"Implementation, enforcement and service standards Upon repeal, these provisions of the Regulations would no longer apply to sponsored spouses and partners or to their accompanying family members. The repeal would apply to those who have a sponsorship application in process and those currently subject to the condition. If approved, the regulatory repeal is anticipated to come into force in spring 2017. "
