As an ADR winner I think what you said is kind of true. Remember ADR was introduced to reduce their cost of full hearing appeals for cases that are relatively easy to allow (hence skip the full hearing). Once again it will depend on the officer who reviews your file but even with some red flags...

Thx Annie and Maddants!! Few more months and your waiting game will be over too!! For our case, everything came by post mail in yellow CIC envelope. As soon as we got the ADR decision letter I sent a copy to CPC-ottawa just to make sure they pull our file back to processing (cuz some ppl didnt...

No your lawyer is wrong. ADR officer will come prepared with all of your application history as well as your supporting documents and ask you sharp questions. Think of it as pre-hearing to determine whether your case is strong enough to be allowed at the full hearing. If you prove to them that...

Just wanted to share my timeline July 30 ADR won Aug 17 Letter of Decision Made from IAD Sep 02 Medical/Police Clearance and Forms Request from CPC-Ottawa submitted everything and waiting... status shows "in process".. will be another long long winter :-X

Wintersnow/Kistehsia, I too share the sympathy for you with everyone else here. Hope you get thru this once more and beat the system like many of us eventually did. Well to be honest the waiting game after winning isn't so much fun either. Bunch of people sitting in their office not doing...

At the ADR: There was one security staff at the reception desk and nobody else around. The whole office was dead quiet. The IAD lady (DRO) was waiting for me, name was Susan, she got up and greeted me and even got me cup of water. We walked to a conference room and she explained the process...

I cannot believe after all this they still came up with reasons to deny you. I am sure if you had my ADR officer it would have been a different story. This just seem like a total system failure.

I just won my ADR!!!! Held in Calgary (225 Manning Rd NE) July 30 at 10:30 AM with a Dispute Resolution Officer from IAD Vancouver and Minister's Counsel from CBSA Calgary. I will leave more details later for those who are preparing. We're not done yet but one step closer!! :) Kistehsia I...

Hi Mrs. S, I have ADR booked end of July and these are some hints I found helpful from people who won ADR. They say questions are similar to those in VO interview such as how did you meet etc. plus any plans if appeal fails.. thing like that. I will post my experience (hopefully) after I win...
