Those trying to reach me re DCF in Canada

[KatandColin 1]

I have been receiving a lot of messages lately from people thinking that I have some way to help them with their DCF filing. I have been receiving messages from people all over the globe. 

 

I wish I had something to tell you, other than what I originally posted. (I can't even find my original post on here...)

 

All I did was write in and explain my circumstances, and then pray a lot.  Every situation is unique, and if you feel that your situation qualifies as "exceptional circumstances" then I encourage you to write in and explain fully.

That is all I did, no magic bullet, no insider contacts or secret information.

 

I truly wish I could help, but I don't know anything more than you do. Keep in mind, that "I miss my family" and "I have a job offer" are not going to be accepted. Those are not exceptional circumstances. They may feel that way to the one going through it, but to a government official, that is an everyday thing.

 

Best of Luck.

Having nothing to do with DCF or anything myself, I couldn't agree more.  A lot of us get messages on here from people asking all sorts of things, some we have advice/answers for, and others I have to just tell them "I have no idea". Each situation/case is unique in it's own way, none are the same.

Is it possible to share what your exceptional circumstance was? The reason I ask is there is some confusion on how exceptional a circumstance has to be in order to qualify for DCF in Canada.

That would just be apples and oranges. Every situation is unique, and a lot depends on who is reading and evaluating your petition.

Sorry, but that is just the way it is.

I know people do not want to hear it, but there is no secret ingredient or magic spell.

I am going through my interview next week so I am honestly not invested in whether DCF works. I was more curious as to what your set of circumstances was to merit DCF processing. It might help other people get a better idea as to how severe a situation has to be to qualify. I understand if you don't feel comfortable sharing.

I only started this post to get people to stop sending me this huge volume of private messages.

 

I can't help you.

 

Write your application, explain your situation to the best of your ability, and hope for the best. That is all I did.

I certainly hope that everyone has the best of luck with their individual, unique situation.

You can turn off your messages and you will not receive anymore. I can also lock this thread when you are ready.

KatandColin,

 

Thanks for responding.

 

From reading other posts on this forum it seems most people think a DCF from Canada does not work, even under the exceptional circumstances exception, so I think people (including me) were just hopeful to read that it has worked (fully realizing that each situation is unique).
