It depends. In our case no, it would take another 18 months as we also need an ARC. Also, the visa officer had a huge bias and did not take into account all the positive things we and my spouse were doing in trying to get back to Canada. I appealed to make these visa officers accountable for their actions.
I see. So the officer refused you based on his opinion lack of proof intent to return to Canada?
Yes and felt since my husband had no status in Canada at that time they wanted to hold over him for the rest of his life. He is not a criminal and has no criminal history. Even criminals in Canada are allowed to be rehabilitated. In addition, they were trying to dictate to me as Canadian citizenship what countries I should live in with my spouse. They can not legally do that. The member agreed and granted us the appeal and we won. They cannot keep Canadian citizenship separated from their spouse. The hearing was not even about the genuineness of the marriage as CIC already stated it was genuine. It should not have to come to appeal it. Anyways looking forward to this being over soon.
are u done with the medical stuff and did u apply for open work permit with the application
I won my appeal in Aug.2020 and no update on my file either...called IRCC and they said file not reopen yet.
Hi. After sending the appeal application did you guys receive Acknowledgement letter before receiving the package? Thanks
This is not good nor should it be acceptable at all. IRCC Immigration Minister has been preaching about family reunification, holding onto our files is not fair. Others who have applied in January 2021 are receiving AOR, medical and Biometric requests.
As I know, there was one appeal which was allowed in Aug 2020 and reopened at beginning of September. That file was sent to CPC-M as well and got PPR last month.
Mine also transferred to Missisauga Visa office as per CBSA.
Yes, mine transferred there in January 2021 so I might have a really long wait. I sent in a Web form weeks ago, got a response today asking for PA information even though I provided them with my application number. This is just a way to stall things even further. A bunch of idiots. I'm was very calm before but not I'm getting frustrated with the process.
