Hi All,
I am looking for advice regarding my Family Sponsorship Application for my parents.
I sent my application on December 19, 2023.
September 12, 2024: I received an email from CIC Mississauga as a "FINAL NOTICE", asking me for a bunch of documents, which I must provide in the next 30 days (For info, this is the first time I received this email. I don't know why it's a FINAL NOTICE)
The requested information is excessive and I do not understand the request itself. Am I supposed to submit, for example, every single bank statement since I came to Canada? Why 5 years then the last 2 years? That's A LOT.
Has anyone had the similar experience and how did you respond?
For information, I am currently living outside of Canada for the last 1.5 years (for job reasons)
