Hello
I have been in Canada for almost 10 years now on Student and Visitor Status until about 1.5 years ago when CIC refused a renewal and then refused restoration.
There was no date on the refusals and was just asked to leave as soon as I can in the letter.
However I cannot go back to my country for very obvious reasons, it would be impossible for me.
I was living in Toronto and moved to Montreal after refusal because of cheaper rent.
I am going to be submitting my application for refugee in the next two weeks : I have spent the past 1.5 year waiting on a proposed change in my country's situation but they've just toughened up very recently instead and it's impossible for me to go back.
My questions are:
1) Could there be a removal order already for me without a hearing? Is there ever such a thing? At the time of my refusal 1.5 years ago I was told I DID NOT have a removal order against me and should just leave as soon as I could.
2) How does the in-Canada process in MOntreal work? I just go to the office and submit all the paper application? How long till they determine you're eligible ?
