Hello,
I’m hoping someone can give me some advice. I’m in the process of completing and submitting my husband’s sponsorship application. The problem is he is living here in Ontario with me, but his visitor visa expired in October 2018. I didn’t know we needed to extend his visa until I spoke with a lawyer in January. The lawyer told me that we can still apply from here in Canada, but we need to write a letter of explanation to explain that we didn’t know we needed to extend his visa. I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar to this? The lawyer said if our application is denied, then we can’t appeal it and won’t be able to apply for 5 years. So I’m wondering if anyone has advice for writing the explanation letter, or if my husband has a better chance if he goes back home to Panama and then we apply from there.
I appreciate any help and advice!
Thanks
