You are 100% correct. So many unfortunate rookie officers looking for ways to denie people applications
The problem with some applicants is;They allow some so called Lawyers submit unnecessary documents which was never requested by IRCC.
I can understand if you are an illiterate.You can’t read and write.
Unfortunately,some applicants that fall victim of these Lawyers are averagely educated.
This message does not apply to Pathway alone,even for hearings.
Tell me what stop you from reading,making your own research about what is requested by IRCC?Thereafter,you approach a Lawyer.A Lawyer is not perfect and kind you,you case is not the only one on his desk.
Since you always have knowledge of your application and know the kind of documents to submit,you have the right to challenge any so called Lawyers that want to destroy your application.
After my AIP,I dropped my Lawyer.I took over my case.He was upset I was exchanging mails with IRCC.I told him point blank,this is my life and not yours.
He goofed once and I will never allow him to do such again.
