TRISHGD...did you hired lawyer for ADR ? or you went by yourself ?
I went by myself n i will be going by myself to the full hearing too well along with my parents and cousins as witnesses
 
Hi there....can you send me the link that says they are expediting cases? And by expediting....do they mean expediting appeals? Or family sponsorship?

Thanks
Hi Ferengi,
There is no link as such, there are so many circumstantial evidences, as below.
1. Canadain Govt is trying to get 1 Million people in next 3 years. - They hired many for the job (no to mention, just to expedite cases)
2. When I called IRB (Immigration Refugee Board), I was told that hearing dates are being called little early than the usual time, as they hired many people for same.
3. This is liberal government in Canada, they are always pro-immigration.

With all above mentioned points, it's obvious.
Thanks,
SV670

THANK YOU .

We appeal July 20 2017.
Update form august 22 .
October 18 passport request.
Nov 15 passport with visa and CORP

I am just trying to figure out approximately when I will get a DM as a status and you are the most similar time of ADR to mine.
Could you please tell me when you got the request for updated forms and when did you actually send them in.
And also when did the status change to DM. So sorry to bother, its been a month since we submitted updated forms and nothing yet. I was really hoping before Christmas but it looks they are taking their time again!

Hi All,

I am new to here. I am wondering if anyone here can give me some advise. I am live in Calgary, hubby is in China now.

2013 sent to application, had a kid, Done DNA, Registered Marriage lenience, etc
2015 HK interview, -- sponsorship declined
2016 filed Appeal
2017 May- received IDA, declined. They didn't give much time to talk.

We have received a letter recently ask to have a full day hearing in Dec, 2017 in Calgary.

Does anyone know what gonna happen, what to prepare? what kind of questionnaires will be asked ? etc....

Thanks all,
 
Is anyone else with IAD Vancouver who submitted theyre appeal around June 2017??

Thanks all,

First up, you are welcone to the forum.

First thing, gather more evidences and make 3 copies of all docs, hand this over to IAD and CBSA not later than 20 days prior to your hearing date.
Address all the concerns mentioned in the blue file, or concerned raised at ADR, and visa refusal.
There are more than 100 questions, which you need to prepare the answer for, remembering dates, the major thing.
You and your spouse, have to be on exact same page, when replying to their questoins.

Thanks,

PS - For more, please feel free to write.

It's on refusal letter, what the concern embassy sent you.
But, if your appeal is allowed, and visa issued, or to be issued, than fee would not be refunded, as it will be used as landing fee.
 
All updated
