I've been a Canadian citizen for over a year, residing in the country for 8 years. Been having a stable and well paid job for over 4 years. I'm also very active in my community, volunteering for church services and the care of the elderly, also applied and have been training to join the Canadian Army reserves.
My brother has a similar story, he's been a citizen for over 3 years, made a family and joined the local Police department as a Constable 2 years ago. I mention these two brief stories to show the dedicated and committed life of service we've offered to our country as a gesture of immense gratitude for being here.
Adding to this, my brother and I help our parents economically and emotionally by keeping daily conversations through the phone, email and skype.
When my nephew was born on July 15th 2014 my parents were very happy and wanted to be with their grandson as much as possible. So my mom being the only one with some education in regards to childcare mentioned the idea of applying as a childcare professional and come and live with us in Canada. There was a problem, my mom graduated from a course in childcare in 1971 and proof of her studies was lost through the years. So she decided to contact the school where she studied to find out that it had been closed for about 25 years and being a private academy getting proof of her studies through a government educational institution could be difficult. Finally through an acquaintance she was offered help, this person claimed to know a lawyer that was fairly skilled in cases like this. When my mom went to see the lawyer everything appeared to be in order, decent office, diplomas and certificates on walls etc... He offered to produce a copy of the diploma for a $1000 CAD. She accepted and a diploma with a new photo of my mom was produced. This document was sent along all other requested documents to the Canadian embassy. Soon enough a letter was sent from the embassy on February 4 2015 denying the application for live-in caregiver due to having submitted documentation which lacks authenticity dismissing the overall credibility of the application, targeting specifically the school documents as not authentic.
On grounds of serious criminality for A36(1)(c), A40(1)(a) it also mentioned failure to appear for an interview with an immigration officer at the Canadian Embassy. The interview appointment was not sent by email, we are guessing that it could have been sent to the cic.ca application account and my mom not being a skilled computer user never saw it. Right after knowing this my mom went back to the lawyer's office but was never received, phone calls never answered and to our grief my mom wasn't even careful enough to procure a receipt from this guy. To make a long story short my mom resigned herself to being denied. Looking only online and with busy work schedules we checked the above laws and read in this web site from another user that the person that fell under this category could not apply anymore for the next two years.
My mom was never able to produce any proof of her studies, so this time February 2017 she applied for an ETA visa letting know in her application about this afore mentioned denied application. She was on hold for a month and without asking for any proof of income, property or anything she was denied the ETA visa due to her history. She's been in Canada before in 2013 and of course went back to her country after the allowed visiting time. She owns a modest house for which she naturally pays property taxes, she even employs a maid to help her with cleaning. My dad's application on the other hand was approved and he was further requested proof of income and ties to their country and an itinerary of their visit. So before requesting legal advice I wanted to visit this helpful site again and read opinions about this case. I can swear that both my parents can proof their ties to their country, show economic solvency to make the trip, we can even give them an extra allowance for their stay and sign anything to prove it. I'm just wandering if there is a way to prove and show that this will be done. I acknowledge that my mom made a costly mistake due to over trusting and even being naïve but we are just trying to make possible for her to meet her grandson for the first time and visit us. Any suggestions to solve this unfortunate situation are welcomed.
Thank you!
