procedural fairness / PFL success stories?

PFL ON VISITOR VISA!! I Genuinely need you advises
I applied for my parent's visitor visa back in July, got approved within 5 days from the biometric. Then got reassessed and now got PFL with 5 year bar threat.
2 concerns in the PFL
1. They tried to contact me but was fail and suppose that my invitation letter was not bona fide. Now they want me submit Driver license, phone bill. Which i already had ready for them.
2 . Employment letter and salary within the last 12 months for my mother. However she is tailor freelancer at home since 1993, not working for employees or open a company hersefl. All she got is a confirmation of her occupation from local police department. Her transaction with client are mostly by cash. In the application, we already submited all of her bank account, property document but likely those was not enough to satisfy the officer. I assume they think she is lying about her job.
if anybody has experience with this. PLS HELP!! THANK YOU

Post the letter and reasons for PFL.

Hello House and @Naturgrl I received a 7day deadline PFL on 12th Feb, 2024 then responded on 15th. When I checked last the column still indicates "uploaded - not submitted to IRCC" does it call for concern?

Maybe my explanation here is not that clear. The reference letter I submitted to the IRCC dated Dec 2020 is signed by my employer himself. Last March 2021, i tried to ask another reference letter but he refused to give me one, he insist that I will just submit a copy of my contract and for him that is already a proof that I am employed with him. I explained to him I need the reference letter as it is the one they needed, but still insisting again and again that I will just show them my contract. Thats the reason why I used the Dec 2020 reference letter because I thought it would be ok since that letter is genuine and signed by him...Unfortunately, during d verification, he said he never signed the letter. When I received the Procedural Fairneds Letter, I approached him asking if someone from Canada Embassy called him, and he told me someone called him 2months ago. So I told him what I am facing now to the Immigration. He asked me to show the original letter, I showed to him. And I asked him to make a supporting letter that he need to admit it was his real signature because he's the only one who can prove it that it was his own signature and I never forged it. After 5 days, he told me he will give me a supporting letter admitting that he signed that letter dated Dec 2020. My only mistake is that when he refused to give me a new reference letter last March 2021, I didnt inform him I will used the Dec 2020 reference letter...

Hi,

I am also facing the same situation. I received my PFL last week. My previous employer admitted his mistake and sent me a new employment letter to me to submit to IRCC.


In letter of explaination, I think I need to admit my mistake saying that I did not verify my employment letter before submitting to IRCC and the 2nd mistake is made by employer that he did not send the employment letter properly which created doubt to IRCC

Now my previous employer sent me a new employment document and admitted they were during holiday season at the time I requested them the letter. So the letter was not created properly.

I am thinking to submit new employment letter and screenshot of my email conversation with my previous employer

Can you help me in writing the letter of explaination?

I am a success story of PFL. I received PFL, provided the information and was approved for PR.

But you should understand that it depends on the seriousness of your mistake and where you are located.

The general rule is this:
1) If you are located outside Canada, probability that you will be approved is low.
2) If you are located inside Canada, probability that you will be approved is high. But hire a lawyer who will help you compose a cover letter. In addition to that you should provide a statutory declaration. Every document should be signed and stamped. A lawyer knows how to do it. Don't save money on a lawyer! It's a serious thing.

Also:
1) If your mistake is serious (you hid criminal punishment), probability that you will be approved is low.
2) If your mistake is not serious (you forgot to mention about visa refusals), probability that you will be approved is high.

Remember PFL is not a verdict. It's a chance for you to explain whether you made mistake or you misinterpreted information.

You are welcome.

I'm writing this message for the future generations to help them because I was stuck and didn't get proper help anywhere. Good luck everyone! Welcome to Canada!
