My application for PGP got accepted while I am living in Ontario. If I move to Alberta, would this somehow have any impact on my application? Please let me know if someone has already done this.
It won't affect your application. Just inform them about your new address. I got invited to apply when I was in BC, but I had moved to Ontario and applied from here.

Hi all, I need help pleaseee. Submitted my parents application December 6th no update until May 30th I got a ghost email and status says Returned and IMM5406 says incomplete. Now, my worry is there was no attachment letter to that email or in my profile as to what was incomplete. I see almost everyone in this portal says they got a letter with the email.

I am really worried. I have asked in this portal and someone adviced I should wait for a letter. This is the sixth day and I haven’t gotten any letter yet.

Please if this has happened to anyone, how long did it take to receive the letter for an incomplete IMM5406 after a ghost email.

Check your other emails. My mother received ghost email on her email and I received the email with pdf attachment on mine, within minutes. I wonder if the notification (ghost email) is sen tto the applicant and instruction is sent to the sponsor (me)

Hi guys,

So finally I heard back something from IRCC almost after six months from application submitted on 27th Oct 2021.
They requested to resubmit the IMM5406 form for principal applicant (my dad) and eligible dependent (my mom). I have a few questions related to that with hope that experts will guide me better :)

1. Should only my dad and my mom has to resubmit the form via email or being sponsor of them I have to fill the form as well?
2. I have a sibling who is married and not a dependent of my parents any more. Does she has to fill the form as well?
3. I am my parent's authorized representative and I received that email on my email id. So should I have my parents fill the form and signed it by hand and resubmit the form from my email id?
4. PR portal says application is "returned". I am able to see that along with IMM 5406 and consent & declaration also shows "incomplete". But there is no mention about consent & declaration form on email letter I received, so should I worry about it?
5. F12 shows the status 8 - returned. So after resubmit forms via email, how long does it take to change the status?

I know many of you have been in same boat at earlier stage and have great experience in this scenario. So your inputs will help me a lot here. Thank you all _/\_
Hi Chintan,
Same here, 5406 incomplete. I shall resubmit. I noticed the consent & declaration became incomplete as well - was that any concern at all? I didn't seem to find the answer in the thread. Thank you!

Another question - do I need to have my parents sign the previous documents again? F12 shows they are approved, but if my dates restarts from the day I resubmit 5406, are their signature still valid (way over 90 days from signing now, initially submitted back in November).
Thank you!

Applied on November 16th and today i received a letter by email with request to resend forms and send supporting documents .
1-funny thing they are asking me to prove that i divorced ,well this happened 23 years ago and when i moved to Canada with my Canadian wife ,all these documents for sure were provided for me to be able to proceed with my papers and i became a citizen ...
2-they want to know if i am the same person when it comes to my address, now for sure after i got my citizenship i didn't update them every time i changed my address , and the wording is kind of funny : documentation that demonstrates that the one that applied and myself are the same person
( anyone have an insight on how to prove this ? )
3- imm 5406 ...not sure what i did wrong but will do it again
4- best for last they need a CV for my mom that i stated clearly that she never worked in her life :)

( not complaining :) ,happy that the process started it was only to put everyone in the loop )

the whole thing was sent as an attachment sent by email and they send you two means to reply one by email to a specific address and one by post .
on another note the online application still out of reach so you cannot go back and look at any document like everyone stated before
.

and a 30 days delay to respond

F12 didnt show any updates different then before i received the letter

Thank you. How did you resend these documents? I mean i am not able to upload documents on the PR portal. I did email them on the email address provided in the pdf file which asked me to resend IMM 5768 form. I also send them these documents through CIC web form portal. Is there something else we need to do? Once they receive these forms how long does it take for the application to be back as submitted. For now it is showing returned.
Hello. What email did you use? I need to email them regarding IMM5604. Thanks

Hi. My parents application linked with GCKey. No email received since application submission. However , biometrics number and enrollment already shown on GCKey platform (biometrics were done for visitor visa). I have a question, what does it signify if application is linked with GCKey? Thanks

did you order gcms notes recently? is it true for all files or just some?
for me the gcms lines weren't there last week. today for every file two lines were added and the parameter is null.
"gcmsUploadStatus": null,
"gcmsResponse": null

my guess: they shared your file on GCMS and waiting to be picked up by VO.
Hi I haven't requested GCMS notes. Lets see what comes next. I will keep you posted. Thank you

Hello,
What I've figured out that consent & declaration will be automatically updated at later date once all documents review and stamp completed. There was no instruction in email letter on how to complete consent & declaration form so I didn't do anything with that yet.

I am not sure what you are referring by "previous document". But for IMM5406 form MUST have hand signature by your parents while they resubmit it.

Hi, thank you!!!

previous document - I was thinking about all the other forms I uploaded the first time. I was wondering if I should print them again and sign again with todays date. It seems like we don’t need to do that. Just submit new 5406.
Would that be correct?

Hello all,
I received my UCI today but I am not able to create account on online account tracker link, is it too soon? For GC Key I am not able to see anything in it, when I log in it simply says that you can either change the password, or userID and nothing else. Can anyone please share me the link where I can see the status of my application.

Back story: Today I received a request to submit my marriage certificate which I obviously submitted earlier and after few minutes I received another email stating that they found the certificate so disregard the email. So I found the UCI number on the pdf they sent me for mrrg certificate.

Thank you
