- Thread starter angelyohann
- Start date
Thank you!! I was not expecting it to go so quick, after the medical showed up in GCKey I was fully ready to have to wait a couple of months. Couldn't believe it when I saw it
Great news!! My return tracker has been activated and will expect to receive my COPR by tomorrow morning. Although I haven't been saying much on this thread, but I've been following this ever since the beginning (and will continue to lurk every now and then). All of you have been great help throughout this stressful process.Thank you all so much and hope your journey ends with happiness! Good luck to you all

Hello everyone,
My wife is in last stage of her PR application, currently CIC status is "Medical requested has been received" and got it done and It was received by them. I was expecting Passport request from CIC however received fishy below email.
I am in the confused state now, I have just received email from CIC requesting additional document about my marriage:
I am even not sure if this is normal or exception condition or reason to worry? Please help me, folks.
CIC email conversation.
**FINAL REQUEST**
" Dear XYZ
In order for us to continue the processing of your application, we require the following documents:
> Marriage photos: Please provide photos of the wedding ceremony (signing of the
contract or Nikkah) and customary celebrations held afterwards (the wedding reception or the
Rukhsati). Photos should also include pictures taken of the principal applicant and the sponsor
together on other occasions, either before and/or after the wedding.
Note: Ensure that all photographs are clearly labelled in English or French with the names of the
persons appearing in the pictures, the date the photo was taken, and the occasion or event
displayed in the photo.
This must be received at this office by YY/MM/DD
THIS IS YOUR FINAL REMINDER. NO FURTHER REQUESTS WILL BE SENT.
The above information/documents must be received in our office within 30 days from the date of this
letter.
If you are unable to submit the requested document(s) within the timeframe given, you must notify our
office before the due date and you must provide an explanation and proof as to why you are unable to
submit the documents within the given timeframe.
It also states:
For fastest service, please submit your documents through email to:
IRCC.CNMissRequestedDocs-DocsDemandesMissRC.IRCC@cic.gc.ca. Please note that this email
is only for the submission of requested documentation, any enquiries or requests will not be
read and deleted from the email box without notification. We can only accept unzipped PDF,
JPG or .doc files that are attached to an email, totalling less than 5 MB. You may send your
documents in multiple emails.
You may send the requested information/document(s) via the Case Specific Enquiry form at
the following link:
https://secure.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/canada-case-cas-eng.aspx
However, My question is that We submitted the paper application to the CPC -Ottawa that includes the hardcopy of photos taken on various occasions for example henna, wedding, reception, Honeymoon and has also included the marriage certificate. So why are they asking us to send this again? My next question is that if this is true as it says in this email that we can send photos via the email to the specified email @cic.gc.ca. Do I just have to reattach the same photos again by email and send it to them?
Is anyone in the same stage as I am? I am so blown away with this email and I was not expecting this. Any help or answers will be greatly appreciated.

Don’t worry its just a request for additional document and this is to assure the genuineness of the relationship. Just make a doc file or pdf and send it to the email address they mentioned
And make sure to be specific about what they asked. Nowadays they are requesting additional documents about the proof of relationship.
did you receive ppr already from ircc I have also dm on July 15 but not receive pprThat's awesome, congrats!! Good luck with the move
Application got retransferred from missisauga to NDVO yesterday. NDVO is very slow.I had a situation where cic asked for medicals of non-accompanying dependents for whom PA doesn't even have custody. We sent a affidavit, court document stating about custody and letter of explanation. We are still waiting for medical to pass from May24/2019. And now they redirected to New Delhi.
I just called the MIDI because our answer from Quebec is already 2 weeks late. They said they got a larger than usual amount of applicants and are behind in the processing. They are currently processing applicants that got their AOR letter on May 15. We got our AOR letter on June 3rd so hopefully we will get an answer in not too long...
