They got denied because of economic reasons. He or she already said so. According to my math they've been working for 7 months so it's understandable. Who even knows how much they're making sef. But to say the border officer asked how they got their PR? That I don't believe and leads me to think he or she has something in their past. This seems to be more than an economic reason. The hate towards Nigerians is a nonsense excuse when you're a PR here. The person should just talk true talk.

What you're insinuating is not necessarily true. Your statement shows the visa officer must have denied him for a genuine solid reason. Some of them are really overzealous, it's something some people don't understand until it happens to them then they're faced with a rude shock. I know of 2 people who are not even working, PR for shorter periods and got their US visa within a short time. And for the visa officer asking how he got his PR, if you don't believe that, trust me I've heard funnier and more demeaning questions. Do not assume all the officers go by the books, if not people with solid applications, proofs and genuine intent won't be getting rejected. This is one issue I have with posts of disappointments, where people must always feel the poster did something wrong. PR holders getting being denied US visa is not a new thing with or without obvious reason

I strongly believe there’s something wrong with you ma. Do you know me from somewhere? I posted something to get genuine opinions of people because I am upset and you’re there making very annoying and snide insinuations not once not twice not thice and throwing shades? It goes to show the kind of person you really are. If you don’t have any useful contributions please make room for people who do. **dropsmic**

Hello,

So when a request for another port photo is made by IRCC, please how will it be submitted/sent to them?

You get a letter from IRCC asking you to send the updated port photo, and you can send it via Canada post (if you're in Canada) or other courier service (if you're outside). Ideally, you ought to still be in Canada if you're waiting for your PR card before making any trips out.
By the way, you get the letter by email, so there's no enclosed envelope for your convenience...

Hi A555, I was of the opinion that the same photos you submit with your port for stamping are the same ones that would be used for the PR card. Is it possible that the photos would be accepted for port submission but not for the PR card? What are the likely reasons that someone would need to provide new photos if he already submitted ones in the specified format post-PPR?

Yes, you are correct. Same photos would normally be used. However, if the photos submitted are not the right size or good quality, you are still issued your COPR and visa counterfoil, and your port submission is not rejected. I guess rejecting it would create a needless back the visa office. You will however be required to submit updated port photos before your PR card can be issued.

Your PR card application is initiated by the entry officer after you land, so you will only get notified if you need to send in updated photos after you've already arrived in Canada. In my case, I took updated photos at a London Drugs store here, and immediately i saw the finished product I immediately understood why my previous photos were rejected. Wrong size and horrible quality!!

The process delays the issue of the PR card, so where possible, one should really make the effort to get good quality photos of the correct size when making the port submission.

Once again, congratulations boss.

Thanks a lot. I hope my Studio 24 version would .

Does the validity also count? If the date stamped at the back of the photo exceeds the required six months, would that also be a reason to request for another one before PR card issue? If yes, would you recommend taking a new one when we land or here in Naija to forestall the delay. Apologies for the plenty questions.

Hopefully Studio 24 works. I decided to go for a cheaper option...and it wasn't the smart option ultimately. That said, I don't know what Studio 24 delivers.

The specs for the port photo are so unusual, in my opinion. It comes out more like a small picture, than a port photo.

Don't stress about it. Wait till you're notified if updated port photos are required before you get new ones here. Can't say for sure, but if it's within the six months validity when you make the submission, I would expect it to be ok. Most people sending in updated ports will likely be doing so because it doesn't meet the required format.

Thanks for your time. I appreciate it.

Based on the bolded it is safe to conclude that if the officer is NOT satisfied he can refuse entry therefore you don't have a right to entry.

Of course for an officer to refuse entry for a PR it must be something very serious and significant.

Right of entry of permanent residents

(2) An officer shall allow a permanent resident to enter Canada if satisfied following an examination on their entry that they have that status.

Fortissimo502:


Not really trying to stir up old stuff but what do you say about 19 (2) of division 3 of the immigration and refugee protection act. For ease of reference it reads thus:

Right of entry of permanent residents

(2) An officer shall allow a permanent resident to enter Canada if satisfied following an examination on their entry that they have that status.

---------------------

It is my interpretation that if you have PR status, you have right of entry.

In addition,

IRCC here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/new-immigrants/pr-card/understand-pr-status.html

explicitly states that PRs have the right to live in Canada. I don't think it makes sense for someone to have the right to live somewhere but not enter that place.

Again I believe once your status is valid you have right to enter. Only way you can be denied is if there's some issue with your PR status. I do not believe it's a privilege.

Can someone find any case law on canlii that shows someone with valid PR status being denied?

Correct...but read it to its conclusion. Satisfied regarding what? Your PR status.

In actual fact the main reason for inissibility for PRs is serious criminality e.g. murder. You can check case law on canlii.

From what I've read and been told, in most cases the PR will still be allowed entry while the the government begins proceedings to formally revoke the PR status.

Again I have seen no case law where a PR with valid status was denied entry. There may be.

I believe there was a case reported on nairaland where a naturalized citizen was denied entry (or something like that) due to some issue in ing their status. Though I'm not sure of the details regarding that case.

This tells me that most times, the key thing with entry is status. Although yes it is true that you can be denied entry based on serious criminality. To me that doesn't justify saying PRs don't have right of entry.

Hello peeps I'm new here, I got my study visa to Canada last week please can you ppl advice me on pre arrival tips and what kind of jobs is there in canada

You are correct even if there is a major issue it will probably have to go to an immigration or criminal court which means you will have to enter the country.

Yes, you are right. That's exactly what I read. They go through the courts in most times. The PR will be called in for hearings and such.

Thanks much for your response, it provided more clarity.

Although, when I linked PR card to CIC , it prompted that all future correspondence will be through the CIC after linking. So, maybe I will not receive an email as you did but likely a direct notification in the CIC .

All the same, fingers crossed. Hopefully, Studio 24 will the test...

All of you guys saying studio 24.

I used that same studio 24 and was told to send new ones here, now my PR card is delayed as well.

Na wa o. So which one should we use again?

A permanent resident would also have trouble re-entering Canada if he have been out of Canada for over certain number of days.

Also if someone had got permanent residence through refugee route, he may loose his permanent resident status should he travel to the place that was the basis of his refugee claim.

As indicate above, a PR whether inissible or not will always re-enter Canada given that his case will be sent to a court. The court will determine if his permanent residence status should bw revoked

Lol, I dont know o. Just don't think because you used studio 24 then you're free. Just prepare your mind ahead. I also used studio 24 at Allen, Ikeja

Wherever you decide to use, just make sure you take a ruler to measure the photos and ensure they meet the specifications. We used Studio 24 and I took a ruler along. They had to reprint 5 sets of photos because it kept coming out wrong. We didn’t get any request for new photos, so it worked.

Nice. Thanks.
