Dear Friends,
AOA,
I shared my immigration case earlier on this forum as well and just had a recent development into it. So need your sincere advice and input on the current situation.
My father applied for the family immigration in 2009. I was 20 at the time of application. The process went on and we were asked to get the Medicals done in Feb, 2012 along with sending an updated application. At that time I had graduated and worked in an organization for 5 months after which I had quit my job and was jobless. We made a mistake and informed this to CHC in the updated application as we were unaware that I had to be shown as dependent and should have been shown as a student who is financed by my father to stay a part of the application.
We had submitted the documents and medicals and there was no response from CHC for well over an year. Just last week, my father received a phone call and an email inviting him for an interview at the Canadian Embassy in Islamabad.
His interview is scheduled for 19th June. But the situation right now has not changed much. I am still jobless and in that context a dependent on my father. But I've applied for admission in Masters program at a local university just to be on the safe side. The admission is under process and I will be a regular student in September which would make the case that I am a dependent on my father.
Now, the problem that is bothering us is how to justify the 2 years that I have spent jobless (with a 5 month job period) that I am still a dependent on my father.
Do you have any expert opinion on this? What if the interviewer asks my father to remove me from the application and immigrate with the rest of the family members? That is what we don't want to do because in that case my father will have to sponsor me after getting PR which would take another 2-3 years at the very least for me to get the PR.
Can you please help out and give sincere suggestions on how to best prove that I'm still a dependent and can be allowed to immigrate with my family?
Further, can you please advise as to how to best prepare for the interview? Please note that only my father has been invited to the interview and no one else is invited with him.
Many thanks.
