Hello Everyone,
I must tell you guys that I am VERY confused with all the terms you all use, and I really do not understand much of my process. I would like some help and also wanna be in the statistics.
Here i go.
I am from Mexico. I lived in Canada for 3 years, after one year I arrived to Canada, a consultant advised me that the most easy way to stay in Canada it was if I claim refugee, so I did.
I was rejected and came back when immigration told me, July 14th 2010. Before that, I went to see another lawyer and he basically told me I was very stupid to clai refugee and he told me that I could apply under the skilled worker app. So i did. As a cook since I had over a year experience.
When I was living there I worked the whole time in a restaurant as a cook, paying taxes and everything. Never asked for welfare. And I paid for my plane tickets when I came back.
Well, you guys seem to have a lot of experience in this matter, so Could someone explain me what are the chances or risk immigration gimme trouble because of the past refugee claim?
Also, would like to ask about my current application. My lawyer sent the paperwork and everything (I sent all originals with respective translations) My e-case says. Forgot to mention I also have arranged employment!
