Applied for spousal sponsorship PR online from Asia in mid June, 2023.
Immigration office/officer in Asia made crazy mistakes and issued refusal letter in June, 2024.
Appealed refusal right away with Immigration Appeal Division (IAD).
Minister’s counsel easily ruled in our favor in an informal alternate dispute resolution conference in November, 2024.
As a result of the crazy mistakes the immigration office/officer in Asia made, it delayed our eventual PR approval by about 7-9 months. Because of the delay, we had to pay for another visitor record and medical exam, never mind the stress it caused and the time we had to put in for the appeal.
We contacted 3 MPs, and while two provided us with support letters, IMO, in our case, the MPs didn’t really help our situation much at all.
First email (P1) and second email (P2) were received and completed Feb 12 and Feb 13.
eCoPR was finally received on May 9, 2025.
Thank you to posters on this thread who posted useful info.
Good luck to everybody who are still waiting.
