Re: ARK LETTER Mine's a complicated case, its a long story and shouldn't be taken for standard! Yours will hopefully be a lot quicker! PR application received Aug 2013 (London, meds done) Sponsor approval Sept 2013 ARC submitted May 2014 Decision Made Feb 2015 But they still haven't told me...

Re: ARK LETTER Yep basically, mine was submitted half way through my PR application when it became apparent that I'd need one. I wasn't even aware that CIC would request it, I thought the onus was on the applicant to ask? This is the basic info CIC provide...

Re: ARK LETTER If it is an ARC you require (rather than ARK) then it has to be attached to an application. There are no separate ARC forms, but it does need to be associated with your application, so having it reconciled with your application at this stage is recommended. The ARC and PR...

Thanks :) I've been hesitant to do that in the past because of their instructions about not sending repeat enquiries (I do exactly what they tell me, and follow their instructions to the T - but they don't hold up their end of the bargain!). But at this stage I've got nothing to lose I...

He is an MP lol! Your description is actually pretty accurate! But fortunately for me his assistant is an absolute star, and in my opinion it is her that should really be running for office in May! Any advice on a back-up plan though? If both his (MP) and my email enquiries get blanked again...

Hi I've copied this from a 2013 thread... the number worked for me calling CIC from the UK a few days ago.. you have to go through a ton of automated messages before getting to a person, but it is possible! Good luck, I hope it helps :) "Hello folks, Please call 1-613-944-4000 from the US...

So I have a query that hopefully somebody can help with.. When London do not reply to (valid) case specific enquiries, what is the next step to make contact or raise a query? Turn up at the embassy? I know this isn't advised usually, but if nothing else is working (both mine and my MP's case...

My DM was over a month ago (9 Feb) and I still haven't heard anything... :( CIC haven't responded to my case specific enquiry - which doesn't surprise me because they never do, this is highly frustrating as it's their only point of contact. They ignored all enquiries about my British passport...

This article sets out the legal positioning of H&C and TRP to overcome criminal inadmissibility... it makes me feel mildly better when reading it, I hope the deciding officer on my case is aware of the legislation surrounding these issues too! If not, I will have grounds for an appeal... I so...

Sorry, I should have called it a 'summary' offence rather than 'minor'. A DUI is not an indictable offence, so it is in the lower classification of criminality. I submitted a TRP application in May 2014... still waiting.. it is linked to my PR app. All of this was declared when I originally...

Yep I filed for rehabilitation 'for information only' as instructed on CIC website when 5 years haven't elapsed yet. I hope that H&C has the possibility to overcome minor criminality, because I was told to do this by a senior immigration officer and had a lawyer prepare and submit the documents...

No nothing at all.. I was signed common-law to my previous partner (while in Canada), we split up, he moved back to the UK. A year and a half later, after falling in love, my sponsor and I moved in together and a year later we signed common-law and he became my sponsor. There was no official...

I'm visa exempt (British), had Decision Made on Feb 9, and haven't heard anything from them yet.. London processed my file and they have requested updated Schedule A, updated UK police cert, and RCMP cert, also a second medical because first had expired, over the course of the last 10 months...

Is this really true? If ECAS shows Decision Made, does that basically mean approval? Has anyone got a rejection at this stage, and if so how were you notified of the rejection (email or letter) and how long did it take to come through? A decision was made on my case on Feb 9, and I still...

I was officially signed into a different common-law relationship (16 years with high school sweetheart) and had only been separated for 1.5 years before I met my partner and sponsor (5 years ago). I told CIC briefly about my previous relationship (dates, name, situation) on my PR app, and have...

Yep, this right. You have to prove that CIC have made an error in processing your case based on the information that you have provided to them. This could be not giving full consideration to the facts presented to them, or them misinterpreting the application of the law. If you are able to...

Just to give you a bit of background on my case and the uphill, but not impossible, struggle you face.. I had been living and working in Canada for nearly 6 years, with partner, children, house, jobs, my entire life. I got a DUI in Jan 2010... I had my work permit revoked immediately and was...

I'm not in Canada (my situation meant that I had to return to UK to continue my PR application from here, but hopefully I'll be going home soon!) I don't think you've got much hope of applying for an OWP if you have a pending court appearance sorry. You will be deemed criminally inadmissible...

Yep, its totally up to the discretion of the visa office. I sent my UK PCC with my application in 2013 (PCC dated 2012 so beyond 3 month limit) which was accepted because I hadn't been back to the UK since the PCC was issued. However, I returned to the UK in May 2014 and was requested to send...

Me too.. Decision made Feb 9, but still no news either via email or the postman... The wait is excruciating! 17 months from application being submitted to decision made, and now another month has passed just waiting to be notified of the decision! It is killing me! Good luck to everyone else in...
