Hey guys!
I'm feeling rather unsettled right now - angry and perplexed in equal measure.
My parents applied for the supervisa, and after the inordinately painful process that included filling out a dozen forms, collecting wide-ranging documents, tracking down the addresses and personal details of long-forgotten relatives, getting finger-printed, and passing the medical examination - they got a rejection today.
The reasons for the rejection are:
-) You have not complied with our request for information, as per section 16(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. To date, you have failed to comply with our request for: Request for Military Record.
-) Other reasons: Not satisfied that you are not inadmissible
My dad served in the military for a few years in his youth, and we truthfully indicated his military service in the form. They never requested any military record to be shared, and during the 6-month processing of the application never sent us a correspondence to that effect. Suddenly, today, we get rejected on these inane grounds.
Question: What are the options available? Is there an appeal process? Are there any avenues to escalate cases where CIC is clearly at fault?
