Hello people,
Congrats to everyone with positive responses.
I received another update from CIC today.
An additional document has been requested (even though what we were expecting is a notification saying approved and closed and then our pick up mail) since we submitted our passports and was received on 19th May, 2016.
My husband had his Chinese visa cancelled when he was to enter China in 2012 without them giving any cogent reason, he was to go for a meeting/training sponsored by his former employer. So he was sent back to Nigeria without entering China. So CIC has requested us to explain why his visa to China was cancelled.
After that unpleasant experience, he has travelled to South Africa and United Kingdom in 2014 and 2015 respectively, though not with the same passport as the passport expired.
When we were to travel for vacation to the UK in 2015, we stapled his old passport that Chinese authority cancelled his visa on, we included it because he had a 2008 South Africa visa on it, we didn't want to go to the UK embassy with just his new passport that had just one record of travel. We wanted all his travel records reflected.
Erroneously we still attached this same old passport for our Canada passport submission, we really shouldn't have because really the passport has expired. I just didn't think it would be a problem since the UK authority granted us visit visa last year even when we submitted the old passport stapled with the new one.
Well, we intend to explain saying the Chinese authority claim the passport was fake, hence the visa was cancelled because really they didn't give a cogent reason for his entry other than that.
We hope such reason would be tenable to CIC, after all if we had anything to hide, we could have removed the old expired passport and we wouldn't have had this issue, lesson learnt through.
Kindly advise.
