Hey everyone,
I applied for permanent residency under common-law sponsorship with my partner, and we used an immigration representative (Right Link Immigration). They have 5-star reviews on Google, and we feel our application was solid, but I’m feeling nervous after what happened to my brother.
My brother and his family (wife + kids in UAE) applied for a visitor visa to visit me in Canada, and I helped review the application. Everything seemed fine, but they were denied due to "insufficient ties to home country", which shocked us. My brother literally applied for my visitor visa a year ago and this year, and it was approved within days. I know visitor visas are different, but this whole situation makes me worried about my PR application getting refused for no reason.
So, I have a few questions for those who have gone through this process:
1. Does using a representative help with approval, or is it just paperwork assistance?
2. Has anyone had issues using a consultant like Right Link?
3. Are there any "random" PR rejections, or do they usually ask for more info first?
I’ve been living with my partner for over a year, and we have proof of cohabitation (joint lease, bills, etc.), but after my brother’s visitor visa got rejected, I can’t shake this feeling that my PR might get randomly refused too.
Would love to hear your
experiences—thanks!
