Experience of unsuccessful Landing at Windsor, ON border. Denial by officer.
Dear Canadian PR applicant,
My relative tried to land in Canada(Windsor, Ontario) border by car. But officer denied to let him land/in.
Myself is Canadian PR holder(might be expired now?), and 5.5 years USA GC holder.
Here is the interesting detailed story. I hope, it will be useful for some of you.
1. Candidate applied in November 2002 for Canadian PR.
2. Candidate was working/living in India at that time. Born Indian citizen.
3. Candidate applied for Canadian PR from Singapore using services of KAM International, Canada.
Experience with KAM INTERNATIONAL is our WORST paid services experience ever.
At one point, we found, KAM/they are most careless staff people, then we took charge of the application by ourselves.
They never respond our call back. Even in this case of denial, KAM/they denied for any kind of appeal against this decision.
Well, for KAM, I can write separate big story book. If anybody wants to know, ask me more.
4. Candidate moved to USA in Oct 2004 on H1 visa of IT field.
5. Candidate got medical papers in 2006 end. Candidate did medical in India in early 2007, because he was visiting India at that time.
Note: If you do so, please let your embassy know, to pick up papers from New Delhi. Otherwise, New Delhi Canadian embassy will not mail your papers to your embassy(in our case, Singapore).
6. Candidate was not having enough points. But, after providing 'English Proficiency Letter'. Singapore officer gave/stamp him visa in passport.
7. Candidate reached to Windsor border last day, when one hour was left. Due to snow storm, and longer queue at border, candidate was late by 2 hours than expected. Though, 1 hour earlier than expiring date.
8. Officer(male) threatened him very first. You just came now when less than 1 hour is left. I will make you sit outside for sometime, then time will be over, and you might not be able to land.
Note: There were 6 officers in that office.
9. After reading whole case, officer denied for landing. Officer said that, you don't have enough points. Even, Singapore office approved and stamped the visa.
Note: At the Canadian border, Immigration officer can deny for your landing.
10. Officer told him, If I will reject your case, then your spent fees will be wasted. So, sign this paper, and then you can apply again at no cost. Paper said that, "I am voluntarily denying for Canadian PR".
Any comments???
11. Then Candidate came back to USA border. USA border officials took his I-94 from I-797 paper.
12. Candidate drove to home back in USA.
While officer denied, I too was there. I argued using certain points. But officer said, you can't change my decision.
Later, officer came out, and handed over our papers. At that time, officer said(or excused), "I have to answer our upper officials etc.". I said, "Your point system is broken, and you are denying the guy, who is making $70/hour in USA". Officer agreed up on these points. But, he didn't changed his decision. While leaving his office complex, he made sure, we are going to USA side and not Canada side.
Any comment?
How he can appeal?
Is it recommended to send application again in Detroit/Buffalo?
Well, one more thing, candidate had Ottawa, ON US embassy appointment. So, we took $131 USD DRAFT from Scotia bank. In fact, my friend took it. But due to this fail landing, candidate cannot visit USA embassy at Ottawa. And now he cannot get refund of DRAFT. Though, someone else can use it. Anybody interested? May be, I can give you at discounted price.
