Where was the location you were talking to. Thats strange because the man i spoke to said there was no way to give consent and they it could only be from my husband. He said my husband write a letter and sends it by fax and then thats it that it takes a coupe weeks and as long as my husbands says to mail it to me they will send it to be. I dont know anything about a form?
But I was told I had to call Montreal because that was the city he was deported from so maybe each location is differnt. I will call again tomorrow and see if I get a differnt person and what they say

hmm weird. this company said they can get it with the proper consent forms from cic.

i will call tomorrow to the vancouver office where it happened and ask for sure. now im confused

did the guy tell you where you need to fax it to /

Very strange. This is what I was told

You can request a copy of the decision on his refugee claim to the IRB office of the city where the claimed was heard.

Here is the link to all IRB regional offices.

I called the Montreal office and the man confirmed my husband was supposed to send the letter to the same fax number listed under Montreal

This is the one I called

Yes thats my plan. I am going to write it send it to him have him print and sign it and attempt to fax it from somewhere in mexico.
They said it had to be his signature and that the signature had to match the one they have on file for him. He said if I wanted the papers sent to me that my husband had to write that in the letter and they would do it. He said it would go out by regular mail. I asked him how long it would take and he told me he couldnt say. So I said are we talking months or weeks and he said weeks.

From what i go in the call he said to state the following

- Request a copy of the refugee decision and reasons

- Date of birth

- Name

- Signature

- Mailing address and both (husband and me also clearly say to send the paperowork to my address) contact phone numbers (both of us)

- Client ID number (if we dont have that then the date my husband arrived/left)


I am going to call again tomorrow to see if I get someone else and they confirm the same details. i will keep you posted.

They gave it to everyone in the group that got in with me except for me and another guy. They didnt say why, just gave us a paper saying to come back in 10 days and no information will be given by phone.

This happened to my husband's brother. He went to the the SSP and because there were "hominimos" or people with his same name, they had to do a complete check, hence the 10-day timeframe.

 

[Americana In T.O.]

I didnt get the SSP letter, they didnt give me any reason why, they just said to come back to get it in 10 days.

Has this happened to anyone before?? Im so frustrated right now, i cant come back so i'll have to check if one of my friends can pick it up for me.....

Edgarsitow, i didnt even make it near the embassy today.

Not sure if a friend can pick it up. I think it needs to be a relative that has the same surname(s) as you. That was the case for my husband. He initially sent his nephew, but because they did not share the same surnames, he couldn't pick it up. He ended up sending my brother-in-law(my hubby's brother).

 

[Americana In T.O.]

Technically I have a Departure Order Becomes Deportation Order. I've been asking this ever since 2009. The first time I asked them I told them that according to the Immigration Act, accompanying family members are not considered PDPs (Previously Deported Person) and therefore did not require an ARC. The officer agreed with me and said I didn't need one, but that there was an "error in the system" and he would try to fix it. Then I asked a year later and they told me "You do need one, but we won't charge you for it" and now they finally went the safe way and asked me for the ARC PLUS the fee I'm hoping they approve it to get all this done and over with.

Edgar, forgive me if I missed something, but have you consulted a lawyer? Your case seems very complicated.

Well after three years it's kinda late for that lol. The only thing that could happen is that they deny my ARC, which seems very unlikely given what I've read on this forum. I also refuse to believe my luck is that bad.

After winning my sponsorship appeal, redoing medical exams and handing in all my police certificates, I'm 100% that this is the last thing I need. I already submitted my ARC, so now I just gotta wait.

ah thanks!! thats so helpful!!
im still going to call the vancouver office tomorrow and make sure they ask for the same stuff.

but hopefully it will be smooth sailing!


also! did they tell you if you had to pay a fee for these papers or not?

thankss

Thta's what i thought too but I asked the guy what happened if I couldn't pick it up myself and he said as long as that person had a carta poder signed by me they could pick it up so lets see.

I have a big update for you. So many ups and downs this morning.
Oh also to answer your question there is no fee associated with this.

So I called again to confirm the details the man gave me yesterday.

This time I had a woman. She asked me for my husband's client ID number. I told her I didn't have it but I have his UCI number (from our sponsor papers) she said she could use that number to pull up his history. So she then gave me his “File #” which was 2 letters followed by 6 digits.

Anyways she said because his refugee claim was from 2005 the file has been destroyed. I had a heart attack and literally almost cried. I was like OMG what am I supposed to do now I freaked out so she said she transferred me to the woman who was assigned to his case. So I spoke with her and she said his files were at the national archive which just means it takes 2 business days longer to access his files. I told her the other woman told me they were destroyed and she said that wasn't true. So I am very nervous now and I hope they are not because I could tell the woman was reading write from her screen when I hear her say file destroyed.

So this woman confirmed the same details. She said my husband needs to write a letter with all his info and say he fully grants access to his wife to get this information and that the only way to send it is by fax and the only way they respond is by regular mail. She told me 2 weeks to receive it.

So fingers crossed!! I'm on pins and needles. If they destroyed his file from 2005 that's crazy that's not even that long ago. I hope all goes well when you call BC let me know!

After the PGR gets sent in does ecas usually change to "in process" or should I just forget about ecas? lol

 

[canadiangirl78]

Forget about ecas. Seriously. Nothing changed for us until after the PPR so it helped not at all. You are close!!

 

[LeisaP]

Chuladaa! Don't worry about the "its destroyed" comment.
By law immigration has to keep all files for I think up to 30 years after someone dies.

Even on the website it says you can obtain files from people from before 1936 or at least 20 years after they die.

Its the law they need to keep all files. So don't worry about that!!

Even my dads company, he has 2 companies and he has to keep files up to 7 years old by law. I'm sure immigration is much more strict. Lol.

So they definatly have it!

Thanks so much for the info! So helpful!!
