Dear all the experts, i'm asking for my bf, and we are in a very difficult situation here. Please suggest what we can do. I'm so depressed now.
He landed in Dec.2011 and PR card expired Feb.1 2017. Now he is still in China. and couldn't find the confirmation of permanent residence paper, so he can't go through US to canada. we are still trying to find the paper.
We submitted PR renewal in Jan,2017, and we got a letter last week from CIC " A review of your application indicates that you have acquired less than 730 days of physical presence in Canada during the previous years. Therefore you are being given an opportunity to identify any humanitarian and compassionate considerations that would justify the retention of your permanent resident status and overcome your breach of the RO." they want us to reply within 30 days of the letter.
When we submitted, we calculated that he lived over 730 days, i dont know why they said it's short, but I had applied for travel history from CBSA already. and for this letter, i asked an immigration consultant, he said we need to explain ties he has with Canada. However, we are not common-law partner nor legal married.
Previously, he had lived in China for 2.5 years, and during those years, grandma passed away, another year grandpa passed away, and he got divorced. So he didn't come back, finally he came back and he needed to travel back and forth for business reason and family reason as well. When we calculate in Jan, we used all stamps on passport to calculate, however, now they are saying less than 730 days. i don't know how they calculated, however i think even if less, it wouldn't be much less. Now we are in a dilemma,
Questions are:
1. he got divorced before, and they had a kid in Canada. The mom has the sole custody for the kid. Can we ask the mom to provide legal doc to show he has to take care of the kid once a week ? so that case, it will be considered H&C ?
2. for the years in China due to grandparents passed away, can we supply death certificate to be consider H&C ?
3. if I provide engagement ring, will this be considered H&C ?
If we submitted, how long usually will we know about the result, what i read on forum is it will be really long waiting. OR it will be better to renounce the PR , and i sponsor him later when we get married?
Do you have a recommended immigrant consultant OR lawyer that have experiences dealing with this kind of situation ? Please advise, Thank you a lot and God bless you.
