This immigration process requires sacrifice and life is all about taking risks. Everyone seems to have an opinion but you should consult with a lawyer. Everyone's situation is different. You were also a minor too.
If you miss your interview, you will be refused. I don't think the IO questions your status in the US or how you came. That comes in when determining where your application has to be processed. At the interview, you are proving that your relationship is genuine. That's it! Make sure you have additional documentation addressing that.

:D :D :D :D On a positive note, you may not be called for an interview.

Just out of curiousity---->Did you use your Guyanese address or your U.S. address when you filed your application?

Take a look at this thread. Maybe you can get some help. Just a brief: SaraLune's husband tried to enter the US illegally and was caught. It showed up on his FBI record but he still got through. It is different from your situation but a bit similar.

However, the fact that you entered on someone's passport and visa, you may have to do an fbi clearance on their name as well as yours and submit an explanation when submitting your paperwork to CIC....IDK. I'm only assuming here.

Maybe you can ask this question on a new thread: Are you inadmissable to Canada for using someone's passport and visa to enter the U.S.? Explain your situation. Try to address this question to top members like PMM, Leon, Scylla, Rejessome, and Qorax.


Admirable thank you. You are so quick with your reply. I saw SaraLune's case and it motivated me a little.

Just out of curiousity---->Did you use your Guyanese address or your U.S. address when you filed your application? No, i didnt apply yet. I know when i do and i get call for an interview, i have to attend because like you said if i miss it i can be refuse. It's a sacrifice yes but there are so much to consider.

You guys are really helpful with the replies. I appreciate it very much.

It depends on how you entered into the US, legally with a Visa using your own identity and overstayed or illegally using someone's identity (backtrack). CIC is very particular about how you entered into the US especially if you have no legal status.

If you have entered using fake documents and different identities, then you have automatically breached an immigration law and is considered inadmissible to Canada.

If you have used your own documents and entered on a legally issued US Visa but overstayed, you have a better chance of scoring.

A friend of mine is going through the process of ADR because her husband was rejected under "inadmissibility" as he entered the US illegally using fake documents. The IO admitted that there is no issues with their relationships but he is seen as a "criminal" because of his silly mistake some 10+ years ago.

It's a very serious offense. I would suggest if you are in this situation that you seek a proper immigration lawyer to go through your options. I wouldn't listen to people's advise and not show up for your interview in Guyana or Trinidad. It is important you attend your interview. Not attending your interview will burn your bridges when it comes to future immigration to Canada. Maybe an immigration LAWYER, not CONSULTANT, can help you prepare to answer questions at your interview regarding how you entered the US.

One other thing to keep in mind is get all legal documents you have from the US whether police or Government to show you have no criminal records.

If you are rejected from Canada because you are viewed inadmissible, I think you still stand a chance of having that inadmissibility overthrown once you can prove your living situation in the US (local police checks from all regions you've lived since you landed) and genuineness of relationship but it could take you through the whole 10 yards of ADR and follow-up hearings with your spouse in Canada. It's timely and you can look at spend about 2-3 years (the max) in Guyana to wait out the process.

Good Luck!

Confusednscared, thank you. Congratulations on landing!!! I remember when i first inbox you, you were still waiting. Wish you all the best in moving on with your life in Canada.

I have a pretty clean record in the US since i land to present. Spent all my time in school and currently still present. The thing that scare me the most is the wait 2-3 yrs. I have no immediate family left in Guyana. Cant imagine being away for so long by myself.

Whats the outcome of your friend case? How long is he waiting in Guyana? How long ago was this?

Blessed Morning Forum

@ KS232 I don't think I'm almost at the end at all. I haven't heard from POS not once so it seems they haven't even looked at my file. I could be wrong but only time will tell.

After reading SaraLune's situation, I have faith in yours too. Try searching the forum for similar situations to that of yours. Furthermore, you can check Canlii.org for cases.

Best of luck!
