Hi,
My friend withdrew his refugee claimant application while he was in Canada. His passport was also withdrawn from CBS. Then he came back home. He has a 5 years multiple visa which is still valid for another 3 years. If he wants to travel again to Canada with the purpose of visit only for 2 to 3 weeks will he have problems entering Canada? Any information will be really helpful. Thank you.

1. Yes, it is quite possible that CBSA on entry will refuse him as a "non genuine visitor" Although with a valid TRV (he better check that it hasn't been cancelled) he will have appeal rights.

Could you please tell me that hiw long the withdrawal process took time. And what was the procedure followed when he was leaving Canada at airport?. Did he face any problems at his back home country airport upon arrival? Please waiting for the reply.

The withdrawal process took 2 days. Before leaving the ticket was faxed to CBSA and they handed him his passport at the airport. He didn’t have problems coming back to his home country.
