First of all CONGRATULATIONS Mastcanada, your case has given me hopes and I deeply thank you for sharing it....
God ! I had lost hope on my case since I was rejected last month because of my proof of funds also, my big mistake (and I accept that ) was that I sold some assets just before sending my proof of funds, so the bank statements showed all the deposits, I received a phone call asking where the money was coming from and I explained everything and since they did not ask me to prove what I had told, I really thought they were satisfied with my explanation, until I got the painful, rejection letter.....
I tried to get a Lawyer to appeal to the decision since the money is actually mine and it is still on the bank but the Laywer emailed me yesterday saying: " I bill on hourly basis for Federal Court cases at my usual rate of $490 per hour. I estimate that your case will cost approximately $8,000 - 10,000, not including court fees, disbursements and taxes. However, I must warn you that fighting such a negative decision is challenging, costly and the outcome is not certain "
My question is @ Mastcanada, @ advisors and @ SISH7255.... when you say you wrote to CIC to ask for reconsideration, did you email CIC or did you send a letter by regular mail ? Do I have to do both ways to send prove of my funds again ?
Please guys, need your advice since I want to fight for my case...
I would deeply appreciate your comments...
God bless you all !
