Her husband's sudden death automatically invalidated her application to immigrate to Canada.

A Hong Kong woman married a Canadian man and applied for reunion immigration. However, the Canadian Immigration Department's approval of reunion immigrants was very slow, and the lady waited for four years without waiting for an immigrant visa. Later, the sudden death of her husband made the immigration application automatically invalid. The woman submitted an application for humanitarian immigration, but she still failed in the appeal process.

This China woman named Huang Jinhua is from Hongkong. After entering Canada in 2008, she met her Canadian husband, Zhiheng Chen. Began to live together in September 2009 and got married in March 20 10.

20 10, 1 1, Ms. Huang submitted an application for reunion immigration. After waiting for four years, the immigration visa still didn't come down, but in September 20 14, Mr. Qian died suddenly as a guarantor, and the immigration application was automatically invalidated.

Ms. Huang decided to apply for humanitarian immigration.

Ms. Huang said that she had lived in Canada since 2008, and both she and her dead husband hoped to live in Canada for a long time. She has many local friends who are willing to help her financially and in other ways. She is sure that if she has a work visa, she can find a job. Now, her husband is buried in Toronto, and she also hopes to visit the grave from time to time.

However, during the examination and approval process, Canadian immigration officials found that Ms. Huang's contact with Canada in recent years was very limited.

First, since 2008, Ms. Huang has returned to Hong Kong every four to six months.

Secondly, Ms. Huang has a 23-year-old daughter in Hong Kong. When she returns to Hong Kong, she will live with her daughter and her parents are in China. There is no evidence that she is dead. Therefore, immigration officials believe that Ms. Huang pays more attention to the connection with Hong Kong.

Third, Mr. Qian can support Ms. Huang financially before his death, and the life insurance he bought before his death can also support Ms. Huang's life after his death. Ms. Huang has no work experience in Canada, no volunteer experience, and no efforts to improve her skills.

Fourthly, Ms. Huang had a criminal record of drunk driving in Hong Kong on August 3rd 1997. Although it has been nearly 20 years, it is not a criminal offence, but this record is also bad for her.

Huang Yang's lawyer argued that Huang Yang didn't need to work in Canada because she was a housewife and had other sources of income. After Mr. Qian's death, she could live on a sum of money given by the insurance company. This enables her to live a carefree life without improving her skills and English level.

However, Ms. Huang's appeal was still rejected, because Richard Southcott, a federal court judge, believed that it was not difficult for Ms. Huang to apply for permanent residence after returning to Hong Kong, so there was no reason for the applicant to be exempted.

Finally, the federal court rejected Ms. Huang's application for judicial review, and Ms. Huang finally lost the case.
