Hi,
I have been outside of Canada for 5 years. I applied for a holiday visa to sort things out and they told me I had to apply for residency again. I have been denied and have to appeal. Should I get professional help? This is as brief as I can make it.
Moved to Canada in 91. From 96-2001 spent time in the UK and Canada due to my father and father in law both being ill. When I settled back in Canada in 2001, had to go through getting my status returned, which was in 2002 based on compassionate grounds.
In 2006, my wife returned to the UK (British born) after we split, I followed several months later to try to reconcile and have been here since. This is due to the fact my wife has health problems, I have 3 children that I did not want to be parted from and have had health problems myself the last 2 years, having various tests with still no clear results, still waiting for biopsy results.
I applied for my residency again stating my family is in Canada, my children (Canadian born), wish to return, so I need to set up home and that as my presence was needed to take care of my children that I felt that should be taken into consideration in regards to the accompanying a Canadian citizen rule.
So have been denied the temporary resident visa. Funny thing about the letter, on the back it states all kinds of reasons for the denial with boxes next to it and none of them are checked, so does that mean all of the reasons?
Have been informed I do not meet the requirements of the residency obligation and have been sent a notice of appeal form.
Anyone have any info on this, can't really afford a lawyer. Thank you
