Hi, has anyone experienced same situation as me? I submitted my parents sponsorship application on December 4th, 2021 and I didn’t hear back from IRCC until yesterday May 30th, 2022. I saw an email saying ‘my application has been updated’ I logged into the PR portal and status says ‘returned’ IMM5604 says ‘Incomplete’ I didn’t get an attachment or letter saying I should send any documents or complete the missing form. I have seen on this profile that they usually send a letter requesting some documents. Can anyone please advice on what to do? Thanks

Hello, just doing a follow up on your questions. Were you able to submit IMM5406 even when they didn’t request for you to re-submit? I have a similar problem as well. I saw on PR portal “returned” and IMM5406 incomplete. I did not get an attachment letter on what they really want.
Hi, They requested me to resubmit IMM 5406. They sent me letter as attachment with XF00000 number.

Hi everyone,
I got my online application returned and received an email stating that IMM5406 is incomplete or missing. The letter is so generic and frankyl i don't know what's missing , i believe that the forms have been filled proprerly.

I read that lotof members got the same email and their application returned, I'm wondering if it's a bug in their system!
Very hard to talk to IRCC to get further explanation... I'm lost

So I need to scan my mom's new passport. Problem is the file size - 7 mb. My dad used printer scanner, and I tried to compress it in Adobe Pro. Still no luck. Do I have to scan all the pages? Webform file size limit is only 2 mb. The only way I can get around is only scanning biographic and stamped pages. Please help!!!
to compress the file, do follow steps:
1. open the word document
2. open the pdf document (which your dad scanned)
3. screenshot the passport image using the snipping tool
4. copy the image what you snipped from snipping tool
5. paste it in word
6. save it as pdf.

if you follow above method, you will not loose the quality of image as well as file size will be very small. I did above steps while I submitted application.

I had same request and made a mistake for deceased persons.

I hope every person listed in IMM5406 is alive and healthy, but if anyone is deceased - please double check in your initial submission that you have mentioned the city, county and date of their death. Most of us wrote NA or not applicable (I guess) which is the reason of incompletion.

Got the request for details of government employment (imm0149e). The request is from Mississauga office and should be responded in 30 days. We had provided the detailed resume during the application and we didn’t have sensitive government positions. Anyone else that has received the request?
Following..I also got the same request

it all depends on the type of jobs that your father had in the Government as an example in the Army :
First Lieutenant · Captain · Major · Lieutenant Colonel ...
or in a company :
  • Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
  • Other C-level titles, such as: Chief Operating Officer (COO) ...
  • President.
  • Executive Vice President.
  • Senior Vice President.
  • Vice President.
  • Assistant Vice President.
  • Associate Vice President.
Thanks for your prompt reply. My father retired as a Class B Engineering employee ( a junior level post) from the Govt / Public sector dept. Please suggest if he should write as N/A for rank between him and the minister

Chintan, your observations are absolutely correct. In the downloaded IMM5406 it is clearly written in the address column header ' in case of deceased city, country and date of death to be given'. Whereas such instructions were missing in the online form and as result, a number of members are reporting returned applications. After resubmission of completed IMM5406 it takes two months restore the status to 'submitted'. Other members may however share their views.

Thanks for the input.
How did you know about your mistake, did IRCC provide you more insights?

Hi Sehrawat,
IRCC has provided that question in online form actually. It is right above the address field. We missed to notice that question during online submission.
