Visa officers reserve the final right to accept or refuse your application based on your documentation and completeness of application. If your application is considered “not complete”, it may be returned to you without any record at the visa office. Just as the applicant, “immigration visa officers” are humans too, they also make mistakes in rendering a decision. Most of them are locally hired from the country where your application is being processed. These are called ‘Designated Immigration Officers’ who are not native Canadians and often do not offer any emotional or goodwill gestures to approve a borderline application. Once your application is refused by an officer, the file cannot be re-opened. There are only two choices :

1. Legal appeal ( Judicial review ) by an Canada immigration judge.
2. Make a Fresh Immigration Application with fresh supporting documents.

Both of the above noted processes can range from 1-3 years.

So, are you sure, you want to take the risk of submitting an In-complete application or simply under-estimate certain information of document that may delay your application 3-4 years and drift you further away from your goal ?

It is advisable to take legal counsel and depend on the experience and legal interpretation expertise from our team BEFORE you submit your application. If you are looking for powerful legal protection, ensuring that your rights are protected during the entire immigration process, then contact us.
