Hi,

my spouse got refusal for 4th time. The first two was for FDU, god damn the firm suggested there. The second two was for Queen’s university !! So, we submit an application for court on March 8th, sent a settlement offer on 18th, and got a call from IRCC lawyer on 24th that they will settle. So, now our case will be reopen and redetermine by another officer. Our lawyer who took our case to the court, Matkowsky firm, says that we can update our application now that it’s gonna be reopen and for that they will charge us. My question is that how necessary and beneficial is this updating?? Our case was perfect and the fact that we got settlement offer proves this, but still nervous about getting a refusal again.

any experience????

Very low chances of getting a refusal now, better to ask those who got a settlement. You can search on this forum, there are cases that people shared.

you got settlement offer within 10 days of applying for JR?
Yes !! The lawyer said it would take 3-6 weeks to get the rule 9 note, but received it in 10 days

and in the letter they sent to ircc it has mentioned that they had until April 7th to respond. But they were fast

Very low success ratio. Re-applying will be more cost effecting. If I need to spend money I would do it on a good consultant who would help to identify weakness in my profile and work towards making it stronger.

Out of curiosity, why was her application rejected 4 times ? You must have got GCMS notes to tell where things are going wrong. What is the main concern the VO has ?

The main concern is that we are from Iran :)
They are refusing 70% off cases from our country due to our great political situation :)

Nothing has been changed in the profile in 3rd and 4th try. It was obviously officers laziness which caused refusals.
The government fee for JR is 50$ but lawyer cost 5000$ To do filing and write the 10 pages argument letter.
Wish you goodluck, keep updating us about the process, could help some of us.
