Requested, Electronic Case Notes 6/ 28/14 Receiv: 8/5/14 (Which told us very little, the last time they looked at the file was November 4, 2013.)
An Admin at the Road to Canada forum, thought our PR was likely granted, it was just waiting for a senior officer to make the final decision. Senior officers are apparently scarce.
My partners medical was done January 2013 and Police report July 2013, which of course have expired. We were together 3 years Toronto, when he was a Hungarian Roma refugee. Two IRB hearings and an appeal, but was sent home, not deported. He left in 30 days and has a Certificate of Departure, meaning he can come back to Canada and doesn't have to pay ARC fees. He may have to pay back the $1500 plane fare the Government paid for, but we are not sure.
In the Electronic Case Notes they listed us as in a 10 relationship, which is wrong its 3 years. We have been apart now since Dec 5, 2012 and we are both getting antsy, waiting to hear something, either by email or snail mail. eCas just says processing and no change for 11 months.
