My ADR meeting coming up next week. Any suggestions? Anything I should be extra careful about? Thanks for continuous guidance received from this forum :)

Good luck, since ADR is much shorter than a full hearing, my guess is they will be more focused on the concerns from the visa office. So study your appeal record carefully and address all of their concerns.

Please I need somebody to give me an urgent advice.My wife's spousal application was refused last week having undergone close to 2hrs interview.This is our second refusal.Our marriage is genuine.We presented every document that other people presented to show the genuineness of our marriage such as wedding pictures,wedding certificates,child's birth certificate,whatsapp chats,call logs,letters from family members ,wedding invitation,greeting cards,Money transfer receipt etc.Yet she was refused.Our application spent close to 17 months before they invited my wife for an interview in Accra.They requested for medicals exactly when our application was 5 months.
My quick question is should we reapply or appeal as notice of appeal was just sent to me today?
Thanks in anticipation of your quick responses.
How are you refused twice ? Did you get refused and then apply again and refused second time ?
 
I am still waiting for the decision 4 weeks now,
I waited 2 months for the written decision. As long as it is a positive decision, time does not matter anymore at this stage. You will have a wonderful Canadian future.

Oh yes..lots of proof

If you've submitted lots of proof, yet still refused twice, then your case must have some serious red flags that still weren't addressed. Give us a bit of background on your case, what were your red flags? If you were married 9 years, why didn't you add your spouse to your PR application when you were granted refugee status.

I don’t even know what the decision is going to be , so how long it take after for new medical and pcc to be send

Is better to appeal because that will give them the opportunity to discuss what the issue was.

Goodluck.

From what I've seen it can take between 1 to 3 months before you hear from them. The CIC agent told me it was 3 months, if im lucky 2 months. Today will be exactly 2 months from when Ottawa received our allowed application. Still waiting.

Hi bambooc I assume your spouse is from PRC, how long does it take for your spouse to get a PPR after you know your appeal is successful?

Please my people I have couple of questions regarding my family refusal case.They are as follows
1.which lawyers did you guys use that delivered results.I'm in Toronto.I need a strong lawyer for my family sponsorship appeal.Though I just requested for GCMS note to know why my wife was refused.I was sent "notice of appeal form " from the local visa office a day after I requested for GCMS note.So I need a strong lawyer please.
2.I learnt Jewish lawyers are extremely good.Please any idea?
3.May I know what their service charge is?
4.Or /better still, should I reply and forget the appeal process as this is the 2nd time they will refuse my wife.Our wedding is genuine. We submitted everything we needed to submit.I was approved here in Canada as a sponsor.Though I got PR via protected person status and my wife and kid were part of my story.So I don't think that should be the basis for refusing her.Please I need your advice.
5.When my wife for an interview in Accra visa office.It was stated to come along with all her original educational certificates. So she went there with all and she submitted them to the interviewer but at the end of the interview the officer asked to go and that she was still working on the documents. Those certificates were not returned.We thought they would request for her passport for visa and they would send the certificates back to us.Now that she was refused,how do we get all her certificates back as they are original and parts of her life.My wife is not happy about this.
Thanks in anticipation of your quick responses.
