In my opinion, you are in a wrong place to get advice. If there is any chance of appealing your case, you should consult with a good lawyer.

Good luck.

Your situation is unfortunate. CIC is a bureaucratic organization and officers are reluctant for considerations. They handle piles of cases and just follow their processing guidelines.

Hiring a lawyer may cost 3 to 5 thousand depending on lawyer's credentials. But the questions is, whether lawyer will have evidences to win your case against CIC and loosing may even put in future refusal possibilities. However, for your satisfaction you may consult with a immigration lawyer and in most cases consultation is free.

There is many immigration lawyers in GTA (just do the google serach) but, you can also find here in this canadavisa.com home page immigration lawyer info. E-mail them your situation and see if they can help you out..

@ Tahere

Hello.

Have you ever been to Canada before? If yes, did you apply for PR after working/studying here?
If you don't mind me asking, what's your native country?
You said something about misrepresentation. Did you figure out why CIC told you that you misrepresented?
Why don't you re-apply using one of the programs like Express Entry etc.?

1. Probably a waste of money. The OP was refused in Nov/14. For leave to appeal to the Federal Court, s/he had 60 days from the date of the refusal. That date is long past.

According to the law (and common sense) the time counts since you receive the letter not the issue date.

Can you show me the link to the law you are talking about?
It's not exactly what I said, although is ambivalent anyway.

Appeal

(5) The Minister or the applicant may appeal to the Court from the decision of the citizenship judge under subsection (2) by filing a notice of appeal in the Registry of the Court within sixty days after the day on which
(a) the citizenship judge approved the application under subsection (2); or
(b) notice was mailed or otherwise given under subsection (3) with respect to the application.


CIC use lettermail, no tracking no nothing. How will CIC prove that them mailed it? You can print out a letter with a date, then forget it in a drawer and mail it 4 months later.

With a good lawyer, he can fight the appeal.

Most of the letters i received during PR process be in medical test or Police Clearance, it was always mentioned in mail that you have specific number of days to complete from the letter date.

So i assume time counts from letter date and not received date.
