Hi all. Yesterday I received a procedural fairness letter while my wife got sponsor approval. The letter basically says that they have concerns I'm not eligible to immigrate as a PR in Canada because they think I moved back to the U.S after submitting my application which means I wasn't cohabiting with my wife after I filed the application which is far from the truth since I've never left Canada after arriving here in June of 2018. I submitted recent proof that I in fact am living here in Canada still and I'm hoping it's enough. I have no idea where they even got that info from at all. They didn't quote a particular section that I may have ticked wrong or anything like that..they just said that I said that I moved back when I have said nothing of the sort. After doing some research about the procedural letter on here I'm afraid that I will get denied even with me living here in Canada for a whole two years despite what the officer said in the letter. I'm literally here on a visitor record they issued me back in February that is valid until December of this year so..I don't think they would have issued it at all if I wasn't even living here, to begin with. I sent as much proof as I could to the link they sent in the letter so now I'm just hoping for the best. It doesn't help that I don't even know how long it will take them to reply. I just feel so depressed and anxious over this whole situation and I just want to die.

Maybe you should order case notes to see what‘s going on. If you‘re in Canada, you can request them for free under the Privacy Act.
I‘m also pretty sure that CBSA is storing Entry/Exit data for everyone that crosses the border. Maybe you could request this information as well and use it as proof? It‘s just an idea, and I‘d be interested what other more senior members think about this?

I looked into getting the exit/entry info but it says it could take up to 30 days to get and that's the exact time frame I had to submit proof. I already had a lot of recent/older proof to show ive been here the entire time

If I were you, I would still request both, case notes and entry/exit data. Maybe it‘s easier to tell from the case notes why they suspect that you lived in the U.S. You could then specifically address this issue.
Also, if the CBSA entry/exit data shows that you haven‘t left Canada, I would definitely still submit this in a webform, even if it‘s past the deadline.
