Thank everyone for the help Ill do what I can and hope that this doesn't mean rejection of our application because it is so close to the end it would hurt bad if we had to start over again.

Don't worry about rejection over this request. It may be a simple misunderstanding with them thinking she was in Bolivia over 6 months vs. bits of time between visits to Peru. If not, the request just means they need the documents to complete their examination of your file to complete the various reviews required. If you communicate with them, they should give you an extension (and even if you didn't they would likely give you a warning that they haven't received the docs they requested before final review).

Have you sent them the e-mail or case specific enquiry yet?

You can get finger prints at your local PGR office. they usually wont charge you for it.
also they do finger prints at the local PGJ office. they usually dont charge either, but when we went we had a hard time, they kept asking for a bribe unfortunatly. it was a struggle. so we went back to the PGR office and told them the PGJ wouldnt give it to us, so the main person in charge at the PGR gave us the prints for free

hope that helps!

I was wondering how long it takes for them to process the fingerprint information? Like once you give it to immigration does that add on an extra month to your processing time approx? Thanks!

Which fingerprint information? Were you asked for the RCMP?

Not yet...but my husband says that he will have to do it because he lived in Canada for more than 6 months. I am wondering how much time it will add to do the RCMP. Our e-case status is still APPLICATION RECEIVED so we have a long way to go...we just want to be prepared for what to expect and do anything as early as possible.

I dont think you have to do it unless his finger prints are on file or unless there is someone on file with his same name. Did he have any issues with the law when he was in Canada?
In my case we applied March 23 we got the AOR and were asked for PGR and SSP on July 20th we were asked for RCMP on July 27th. After that we had a very long wait and were switched from application received to in process on Oct 25th then another long wait untill Dec 7th when they asked us for the ARC we sent that in Dec 13th and are still waiting

No he never had any problems with the law when he was in Canada...I really hope that we don't have too many problems with the deportation. I keep reading that they often reject ones who were deported before and that makes me nervous.

Sorry but what are PGR and SSP? And so they already asked for your RCMP before you went to IN PROCESS? So if we are asked for RCMP we should be asked soon hopefully.

Im not exactly sure, but i knwo for us it took about 1.5 month to process the rcmp after the embassy received it.

same with chuladaa was 1.5 month aswell

What happened with the deporation?

And I dont know of anyone that was rejected because of a deportation. sometimes its a bit of a longer process, but not rejected because of that, if they were rejected it was because of something else.
So dont worry too much about that!!

Thanks! and thanks for your last post as well I really hope that everything goes as smoothly as possible and it takes a year or less!

My husband had applied for refugee and was denied in January (2012) and then applied for humanitarian and was denied in April...we got married June 1st and they said it was ok for him to leave June 17th (they said back in April) ....my husband says it was a deportation so thats our story I guess

Hello, and welcome, FooF!

Congratulations on your upcoming wedding

The visa only grants you the ability to get on a plane (or other commercial means of transportation) and travel to Canada. They officer at the border then examines you at the border for admissibility based on the facts at hand.

From what you say it sounds like, based on the information available, the officer concluded it was likely that you would decide to overstay in Canada and therefore decided that you were not admissible (giving you the option to leave voluntarily instead of being denied entry). This is interesting given your wedding plans in Mexico - did you already have the wedding plans at the time?

There are likely notes in your file with details of your interaction and how exactly they treated your entry. That means CIC and CBSA will see them in future interactions with you or your file (e.g., should you try to visit again or when they process your application) and, if they considered it a denied entry the officer should have advised the Mexico VO of the refusal.

It shouldn't cause any issue with your PR application - beyond potentially a second review by a more senior officer - since it doesn't render you inadmissible as a PR. In fact, ironically, the fact that you were trying to visit your fianceé in Canada is just additional proof of the relationship you have with your wife that will support your PR application.

In contrast, depending on what specifically occurred, trying to reenter as a tourist could be very difficult (even if your visa was for multiple entries and if it wasn't cancelled). I would suggest considering consulting a lawyer to minimize hassle/trouble/longer term consequences and taking extensive proof of your return to Mexico should you need to try to travel again as a tourist. There's also several threads on here where people have shared how they avoid miscommunication of intention at the border but it is ultimately up to each specific border officer and the circumstances at the moment you intend to enter. For example, some people have their fianceé travel with them (e.g., if your fianceé is close to the border and you have a US visa, fly to the US and have your fianceé pick you up).


Hope this helps.

Thanks so much for your help! I still need to find out the status of my visa, that is keeping me nervous. Im not planing on going to Canada in a few months, hope my fiance can make it to Mexico instead.

Again thanks and we keep on touch
