Sir/Madam,
Please forgive me if I am too blunt or provocative. May I suggest that you are self-centred, ignorant and 法盲?
How dare you bring your twins to Canada without an approval of landed visa for them? How dare you point your finger toward the black female CBSA officer who was performing her duties and her due diligence guarding the gate (一位黑人女官员随口 问了一句话)?
Do you want the officer to ignore your mistake and admit your family into Canada and in a few months or a few years you discover your twins do not have any legal status in Canada and consequently they are not eligible for health or education services and bear the risk of becoming stateless? I guess not.
Canada is ruled by the laws. If you abide by the laws, you are fine. If you do not, you are not. Period.
A few more pieces of advice for you:
1. Admission. Perhaps because of my poor English, I didn't explain well the concept of admission. Everyone in Canada has a legal (immigration) status: it could be born citizen, naturalized citizen, landed immigrant, visitor, visa student, work permit holder, and etc. You said in one post you were admitted but in another the Hong Kong Visa Office will determine if you will remain eligible for landed status.
Upon entrance into Canada, everyone is assigned a legal status. What is yours? I have asked this question twice, because that will affect you and your twins. If they have processed your PR Card, I trust they have admitted you as a landed immigrant.
Why is admission important? Look at the case of Gao Shan. He was admitted as a landed immigrant. To take away his status, CIC/CBSA must take him to court or IRB for a judge to get rid of his status. This is a troublesome lengthy legal process that both Gao and CIC/CBSA do not want.
I can't image CBSA has admitted you while they are re-considering your eligibility for landed status.
2. Examination. This is another legal concept. In an immigration application, the principal applicant will list all his/her dependents who will be examined for relationship and eligibility. Go back to your application form if you still have a photocopy. There is a warning that it is your choice not to list all dependents for an examination, but those not listed will not be eligible for future sponsorship.
If CIC/CBSA re-examine your twins, they are doing you a favour.
Here is the catch 22. If you have not been admitted, you still have the opportunity to report the changes. You may be told to return to China, process the changes and come back.
If you have been admitted but your twins were not examined in your application, you will never be able to sponsor them again.
This can be over-ruled by an assistant deput minister, delegated by the minister. The decision won't be made by a staff at the airport or the regional visa office.
Do you understand the hassle/trouble you are facing?
3. Risk of stateless. Did you surrender all your identifications, except your passport, to the Chinese government? Once you become a Canadian citizen, you are no longer a Chinese anymore. You may need an expert in international laws to figure it out if your twins remain as Chinese citizens. I don't know the answer, but have seen a similar scenario that the child eventually has to apply for landed status based on compassionate grounds, but his fate is at the mercy of the CIC officer.
Sir/Madam, you made a mistake. You should pay high legal cost to fix it now, before it becomes un-fixable.
I wish you all the best. I wish CIC will consider yours an honest mistake and will re-examine your twins - which is the best scenario you could get. |
