This Week’s Success Story: Certificate of Rehabilitation Granted – Couple Reunites!

Legal Team — Fri, 17 Nov 2017 19:12:26 +0000

After previous refusals on a sponsorship application and an appeal for criminal inadmissibility filed independently, we were recently successful in receiving a Certificate of Rehabilitation for our client, which served to remove his inadmissibility to Canada from a very dated criminal history outside of Canada. The Certificate of Rehabilitation will allow the client’s spouse to proceed with a sponsorship application to reunite permanently in Canada.

This Week’s Featured Success Story: H&C Approval Ends Hardship For Couple

A couple, both out of status for several years in Canada, approached us for assistance with their options for permanent residence. Our office assisted the couple to submit applications under the Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds (H&C) category. We prepared strong submissions highlighting the disproportionate hardship the couple would face if they returned to their respective birth countries. Additionally, that it was in the best interest of their Canadian born children for the couple to remain in Canada.

Just over three months after submission, we received first stage approval on the couple’s H&C application. Our clients have since completed their medical and criminal checks and have now received their permanent residence confirmation dates.

This Week’s Featured Success Story: Positive Decision – Criminal Rehabilitation Application

Legal Team — Wed, 14 Oct 2015 14:53:59 +0000

Last week our office received a positive decision on a very challenging application for criminal rehabilitation. The applicant hopes to one day be sponsored to Canada to join his wife and sons who are Canadian citizens. However, a criminal act he committed decades ago rendered him criminally inadmissible to Canada. The first step in reuniting this family was to convince Citizenship and Immigration Canada that he is rehabilitated, thereby overcoming his inadmissibility. Although it was a challenging application to prepare, as his immigration history is complex and spans many years, we were ultimately successful and could not be happier for this family.

Visitor Visa Issued After Previous Refusals!

A woman who wished to visit her mother in Canada contacted our office after having been refused for a visitor visa on three separate occasions. Her applications were refused for various reasons ranging from financial grounds, lack of family ties in her home country, and purposes of visit. The women’s mother was a permanent resident of Canada whom she had not seen in over nine years.

We assisted the young woman to re-submit a new visitor visa application for herself and for her youngest child. Our application contained extension submissions on family (re)unification as well as detailing the women’s established life and stable financial circumstances in her home country. Our submissions were accepted and passport requests for visa issuance were requested by immigration.

IAD Sponsorship Appeal – Settled & Allowed!

Following the refusal of their spousal sponsorship for criminality, a young couple retained our office to assist with their appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division. Our office assisted the couple in gathering evidence both of the husband’s rehabilitation and the genuine nature of their relationship. The evidence gathered was conclusive and compelling. Upon a review of that evidence, the Hearing’s Officer was willing to accept that there were sufficient humanitarian and compassionate considerations and recommended to the IAD that the appeal be allowed without a hearing.
