Does anyone know how long it takes to get refusal notes for HC after you email vancouver office? Based on my research we have 15 days to appeal from the date decision was made. If we dont know why they refused the case how can we submit for appeal? if vancouver office delays in responding after multiple follow ups what are the next steps? Also when can one file for reconsideration.
If you don’t get notes when you write them that means they send it straight to CBSA that’s what happen to me. But you can put in appeal without refusal notes. The lawyer did for me and I did my new H&C without him knowing. So it’s when I got AIP I told him to please let the federal know about this.

Thanks for your response. Ive called the CBSA and they said they never receive any refusal notes and he advised that I should call directly CIC which is impossible. My lawyer submitted 3 requests via email to send us refusal notices and no response since last week. Even if I want to appeal the decision I wont have time... it's hard to resubmit new application, send for reconsideration, or to appeal as I have not idea what office dislikes or was missing in my application I had a complete package with very strong evidences and supporting docs... thats why it's hard to take any action without officer giving you any reasons of refusal....

You can do federal appeal without notes and the court will get you the notes.

Guys when we get refused and we want to do federal. Officer can be mean and not send you notes. You will have to wait on CBSA to receive and call you for it. I got mines from CBSA after one month of been refused. I however put in JR to stop deportation without notes and requested the notes. And after 2months of putting in JR I got refusal notes through courts. However I had gotten the notes from CBSA first. And that’s y I put in my second H&C on my own… so be mindful that the officer can be mean and not send notes to you or lawyer. They have the right to send to CBSA. Just to clarify. Yes I was granted by the court for JR but I ask fir hold as the same day I got AIP was the same day court granted my first step of JR. So know I have decision made I call the courts and they told me once I receive my ECORP I should email to them and ask for close JR completely. So if you are on CBSA watch JR is a good way to go as it put a hold on deportation.

@CanadaMKMK22 For me I sent an email to this address CIC-Vancouver-BRO-BRA@cic.gc.ca requesting refusal notes and they replied me within 2days with the notes. Use your application number - refusal note request as the subject.
Thank you so much for help. Appreciate your response. Ive done it and it's been several days no response yet. I will wait another day or two and maybe send another follow up. They are delaying response.

I put DOB and First Last name of Applicant on the back of the photo with Stamp from the photo store with date and scanned both front and back on same page and named doc: Photo_Last Name, First Name - This format was accepted. Not sure if others have done it differently
