I have written a few posts before but I was just wondering if anyone could give me anymore advice.
Our spousalship application was refused as 1. I am a Canadian by birth and was living with my husband outside of Canada throughout the process. This claim is not applicable to me as I am entitled to do this as a Canadian by birth. 2. The officer claimed that I declared to be living in Canada since 2007 when in fact this is a trip I last made to Canada and clearly stated as such. 3. I needed to provide evidence of my plans to return to Canada with my husband (which I did). My husband is from a country that needs a VISA to vist and hence why I am waiting with him.
The lawyer I talked to mentioned the only issue of concern for him was the last as the plans I gave may not be seen as "enough" for this officer in my situation as I have been living out of Canada for years. It was a judgement call on his part. He states that the officer should have sent us a letter telling us to provide more evidence (which he didn't). Hence, he believes that I could appeal and IF the judge deems that an opportunity SHOULD HAVE been granted by the officer, I will get my chance at the appeal at which time I should have moved to Canada or get a job contract IN MY HANDS! Is there absolutely nothing else I can do? The whole point was to stick with my husband and I am now pregnant. Going through pregnancy alone seems unfair to both me and my husband!!
I feel that this is such a waste of time and that I want to just call and talk to the officer to get my chance sooner rather than later. Even better, I wish I could pop up at the office and JUST TALK TO SOMEONE!! Would someone talk to me? Unfortunately, this office doesn't take phone calls and I feel e-mailing after a decision was made pointless since this officer had made up his mind with no warning. There is absolutley nothing mentioned on my husband and so the only issue was me waiting it out with him.
Please people.... advice... anyone?
