Good morning ladies and gentlemen.
I am please to announce that my H &C application has been approved . It was approved on the 2nd of August. However, I accidentally saw the letter via email from IRCC this morning ( 4th of August). My application was approved in less than a year.
Please , bear with me because I am using my phone to type this message while reading my approval letter. Am far away from my laptop. I am overwhelmed with joy.
I need to submit all the documents they requested such as my passport, PR fees of 515 dollars and some few documents they requested. ( please note: I have not fully read the letter because I was filled with joy. The only paragraph that interest me is the section where they highlight that my application has been approved and I am exempted for not complying with the immigration Act ). I will read the the letter fully before the end of today.
One of the brightest member in this group( “kaytoon “ ) was the person who me advice about the exemption that address my case that I should use in my H&C application. One thing I notice in H&C applications is that you MUST ensure the the exemption you are seeking CORRECTLY address your case. If not, you application will be dismissed.
To those who are new in the group, I did my application by myself .My first H&C application was done my a lawyer and it was “REFUSED”. This is why I always try to caution some people who are quick to run into the hands of lawyers like they savior of humanity. Majority are just interested in your money. If you are in doubt of my claim, At the end of your consultation with a lawyer, ask the lawyer “what is success rate of your case “. Just watch their body language and listen to the tone of their voice. Notice the sudden change of his or her voice. Keep in mind that at the beginning of your consultation with the lawyer, he or she will tell how they are and they have help people with similar case that was successful. The movement you ask them that question, they backtrack!
I wish I can show you the nature of job the lawyer in my 1st application. It is so bad that the immigration officer who refuse it confirm in my refusal letter that the lawyer did a bad job.
Believe me, H&C application is easy and simple provided you know how present your immigration story and have a good writing skills that makes it easy for an immigration officer to comprehend your immigration story and reasons beyond your control that made you overstayed your visa backed with “strong evidence”. This is important.
I will like to use this medium to thank all the top members of this group that has given me advise on how best present my second H&C application . I will like to recognize the Ayanna and kaytoon ( I hope I spelt the profile names right). These two guys have been the biggest and brightest when it comes to H&C . All of their advice has worked and that is what has lead to the approval of my h &c app.
Once I am less busy from work, I will like to give some the new members advice and how best to present your application. I will write about the use of lawyers. I always strongly recommend you do application yourself. You know your immigration story than the lawyer. Immigration officer is mostly interested in your immigration story. They don’t need you quoting law ( which is what most lawyers do ). You are wasting IRCC Officer's time by doing so. Its like trying to prove to them that you have right to stage in Canada. Meanwhile, you know you are at their mercy
Once I have my laptop with me, I will write a long report sharing my experience with you guys and what how to present your application in such a way that will increase the success rate of your application.
In the mean time, y’all can ask me question and I will try my best to respond.
Take care
