Our office helped a family secure permanent residence under the Home Support Worker Class through a successful response to an IRCC request for additional documents.
Our client had been invited to apply for and had submitted an application for permanent residence through Express Entry, self-represented. During the final stages of processing, our client received a Procedural Fairness Letter (PFL) outlining the officer’s concerns regarding their failure to disclose a past visa refusal in their application. Upon consulting with our lawyer, we helped our client submit an extension of time request and developed a strategy to alleviate the Officer’s concerns through our written response. In less than one month, our client received instructions to continue with the PR landing process.
