Hello, I just want to do my analysis, and every one of you on E-grant DF status, please respond.
1) from which city you submitted your application?
2) What is your processing office?
3) Were you a refugee or not?
4) Did you travel while you were a refugee?
I will come up with some of my analysis after getting the information. I am not an expert again but doing my analysis on what is triggering the E-DF status.
I used my back home passport but not to my home country as the country I travelled doesn’t accept RTD, and when I came back to Canada I didn’t get questioned at all and it was like 3 min in the immigration, not a single question!. I don’t think it’s a problem as long as the refugee person didn’t travel back to the country he/she claimed asylum.
honestly it depends on the officer, and everyone doesn't have the same luck. But it is always stated that
Common situations that trigger a finding of reavailment/cessation include where the refugee:
Travels to another country on a passport issued by their country of persecution
Travels back to their country of persecution
Applies for a new passport from their country of persecution
but def travelling to your home country is a red flag or neighbouring country can be a red flag sometimes, and saying that the country you visited doesn't accept RTD is not always accepted as a valid excuse, unless the reason why you had to go to that specific country is necessary .

Two lawyers told me there is not a single cessation case for a person used back home passport or even renew it. All cessation cases for individuals who visited their home country.

it's better safe than sorry. and it doesn't mean it cannot or won't ever happen. I know people who went back home as refugee as pr, they were fine, now citizens, the fact of the matter remains like i said if an officers wants to say that is reason for it they can if they want to. it's literally everywhere. it doesn't only state not to go to your home country does it? it list all three of those where ever you see going back to home country as a reason to trigger a cessation. i think it is 5 of them but those are the top 3.
Hi, I have no expertise in this area, but just saying that visiting a neighboring country of your original country you seek asylum from is more dangerous than going to your own country. it is a red flag and the officer can doubt why he/she went to that country. I have seen many people visiting their original country and giving valid reasons on port of entry, have not triggered any cessation. Some of them have visited 2 times and got their citizenship after. I think they initiated the cessation process for your friend and now no one knows how long will it take.
With all my due respect, when using RTD, it makes zero sense to me that visiting a neighboring country is more dangerous than visiting your own country (country of persecution).

not a lawyer but answered a similar question someone had on this forum. in summary, getting passport from your home country is an INDICATOR that a refugee MIGHT avail themselves to their country of origin, but they don't follow on entering their country, then it is just an indicator. It is a red flag, but not a ground for cessation.

Hi Guys, I was checking my friend's GCMS notes and I came across this note in his file. I can also confirm that DF is definitely derog flag. File location is E-Grant which also confirms they are now removing DF from notes. OUTCOME OF REVIEW
Comments: Pending derog flag, grant ready
Outcome of Review: Decision Ready - holding on direction
NEXT PROCESSING STAGE
FILE TO: Grant
In my notes they removed this portion. After I submitted my application I travelled Cuba for one week which explains why they put me in DF as well. Regardless of Country you visit they run some checks on you to see if you travelled to your home country. I believe this applies if you are a refugee and travelled before or after submitting application.
