I got a refusal mail for eTA. Can I ask If there is anything I can do or do I have to give up eTA?
I am Korean. And I found that Korean is eligible for eTA. I applied for eTA.
I wrote the reason why I tried to go to Canada. I tried to go to Canada for applying refugee.
I've been in an inhumane situation for a long time.
And I already got a note for explaining my situation from my counsellor.
It is hard to explain what I have gone through exactly. It's a very long story.
So sorry. But I'm asking for your understanding except to explain me.
But At first, I got an email to send additional documents from IRCC.
It was only two things.
1. My Employment history Record.
2. What I going to do in Canada. For what I tried to go to Canada
And when I go to Canada. And until when I would stay Canada
I'm not sure my memory but I remember they thought I was suspicious because I had no job.
1. Employment history: They told me to submit a list of what I had been working if I wasn't working then. I submitted it found on the Ministry of Employment and Labor webpage. Because the record given by the Ministry of Employment and Labor webpage was the longest among the websites that give employment records. In this process, the webpage asked me to write the name of the workplace in English by myself and so I could write it down myself. On the web page, the name of the company I went to was written as an abbreviation. I rewrote the name of the company in full name. I printed and scanned it again and submitted it because I could only print it out, not give it as a file.
2. Reason to go to Canada: I told them I was going to apply for refugee status. I wrote in my e-mail a few years ago that they had informed me that I had to enter the country to apply. I wrote down the reasons for applying for refugee status in 20 lines in short. I have experienced various abuses and sex crimes throughout my life, but I only briefly wrote down what had happened in recent years. I have asked the police, domestic violence counseling center, community center, etc. several times over the years for help, but I was shunned. And I wrote about it. To prove it, I asked an opinion note from the psychological counselor who I had seen for more than five years. I told the person in charge that I would submit it if You needed it. The person in charge did not ask for it.
When and how long I will be in Canada: I told them that if I get the permit early, I will be there in mid-February. I told them that however, if you give me the permit late and the price of the plane would go up a lot, I would be there in a few months. Now I am allergic to the level of dyspnea, and I've paid treatment pay for allergy every six months. I said that if the price of the plane is much higher than what is being offered now, I would discuss with my doctor that I would get allergy treatment and go a few months later.
Below is the refusal letter.
I'll post it except for the parts that contain personal information.
