Greetings, My new sister-in-law just received a refusal to have her status ie. Visitor record' reinstated:
"This letter refers to your application for a Visitor Record.
Based on your application and accompanying documentation that you have provided, I have carefully considered all information and I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Regulations. Your application as requested is therefore refused.
Persons wishing to extend temporary resident status in Canada must satisfy an officer that they will leave Canada by the end of the period authorized for their stay, that they will not contravene the conditions of entry and that they do not belong in a category of persons inadmissible to Canada under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.
In reaching a decision, an officer considers several factors, which include the applicant’s:
1. Reason for original entry and reason for requested extension;
2. Ties to country of permanent residence, including:
- employment and study commitments;
- family ties and responsibilities;
- status (citizenship or immigration status);
3. Financial means for the extended stay and return home;
4. Travel and identity documents;
5. Probability to leave Canada at the end of authorized stay.
After considering all the circumstances of your case, I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of the Act and Regulations.
You must leave Canada on or before the expiry of your current document or, if your document has already expired you must leave Canada immediately. Failure to do so could result in enforcement action being taken against you."
My sister-in-law met a nice man, he asked her to marry him and she did. They, naturally want to live together and hopes that she will not have to return to her homeland to start a Permanent resident application there. My question is should she appeal the decision of the officer and if so should address to that individual ...or...Is there a formal appeal to be made to another office of officer....or should she take another route. She now has her marriage certificate and documents for PR application.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
