I have received this letter from IRCC.
This letter refers to your application for permanent residence under the Spouse or Common-law Partner in Canada
class.
Having reviewed your application, I have concerns that you may not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.
Subsection 12(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that a foreign national may be selected as a member of
the family class on the basis of their relationship as the spouse, common-law partner, child, parent or other prescribed family
member of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
Subsection 124(a) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations states, a foreign national is a member of the spouse
or common-law partner in Canada class if they are the spouse or common-law partner of a sponsor and cohabit with that
sponsor in Canada.
Our records indicate that you departed Canada on 2025/02/17 and have not returned.
Based on this information, I am not satisfied that you are cohabiting in Canada with your sponsor.
Subsections 72(1)(c) and 72(1)(d) of the Regulations indicates that a foreign national in Canada becomes a permanent
resident if, following an examination, it is established that they are a member of that class and they meet the selection criteria
and other requirements applicable to that class.
Subsection 16(1) of the Act states that a person who makes an application must answer truthfully all questions put to them for
the purpose of the examination and must produce a visa and all relevant evidence and documents that the officer reasonably
requires.
The onus is on you to satisfy me that you are a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class. I
would therefore request that you send any information and/or documents which you consider might respond to this concern by
2025/03/20, within thirty (30) days from the date of this letter.
Acceptable proof of cohabitation in Canada includes but is not limited to:
• Documentary proof of your return to Canada. (i.e. Copy of a passport stamp, ticket stubs, copy of boarding pass(es)
with Travel Itinerary).
• Details on your most recent entry to Canada and the port of entry that was used.
• A completed Supplementary Information Your Travels (IMM 5562) form with information for yourself and your
sponsor.
