Wow, I am totally impressed by this forum. I am actually really new to this entire type of thing. So bear with me.
So here's my story.
My hubby stayed passed his visa for the farm workers program in February 2011.
Met my hubby and love of my life April 2012 and moved in together on August 2012. I have a very highly special needs son who adores my hubby and he him. They have a very special bond.
I got diagnosed with cervical cancer in October 2012 and he proposed to me on December 10, 2012 in the cancer clinic when he wanted to prove his love and devotion for me.
He got stopped by the police in a van with other people on December 17, 2012 and they were all asked for id. He gave them his and was immediately arrested and taken to the Rexdale holding facility. I was scheduled for surgery the following day. So I pleaded with them to let him out on $3000 bail. They released him on the 19th and I had to postpone my surgery.
We went to a lawyer who told us to apply for H&C but then submitted the application wrong. We were offered the PRRA because I believe the CBSA officer who was in charge of our file had a heart and realized I needed him to be with me through this process.
Our PRRA was denied on May 17, 2013 and they gave us until August 25, 2013 for his removal to give us time to get married and sort out our affairs. In the meantime my ex-husband refused to give me the divorce and held up the process, so the office told us to appeal the PRRA decision based on humanitarian grounds. So we did and spent $4000 for a lawyer to file the appeal.
My divorce finally came through on July 17th and we were married on the 20th of July. As soon as we legally could.
1 week before the removal was scheduled, we hadn't heard from the supreme court to let us know so the lawyer told us to request a deferral of removal which was denied at his removal interview 2 days before he left.
In the meantime we were told to submit our spousal sponsorship from in Canada which we did and was received on August 8th.
I went down on Sept 4 to stay with hubby. Before I left I spoke with immigration about our specific situation with my son and she told me to take all supporting documents with me to Jamaica and apply for an ARC separate from a TRV. When we got there, they wouldn't allow us to do it so we had to apply for a TRV which was vehemently denied saying you are barred from Canada for 1 year and do not reapply until your circumstances have drastically changed.
So now we have to withdraw our in country application and reapply for our out of country sponsorship and I'm afraid that all the things we've tried to do in the past are going to go against us and they won't allow him to come back. He was issued an exclusion order for 1 year.
It's so frustrating because you don't get the correct advise. I just got back yesterday and I am exhausted with this whole process.
