Hello,

I linked the application for my parents using the information on my AOR. Do/ Can I link the application for me as well (I am the sponsor)?

Any advantages of linking as both sponsor and Principal applicant?

Hi, yes, it took sometime. My father too has heart condition. However they didn’t ask for additional test for this, but referred his latest cardiac reports..

I was also waiting for since August 16th. Finally got update today. Please check with your doctor when reports have uploaded. You should get update soon...
Thank you for the reply. What do you mean by cardiac reports? Did they ask for that or you just voluntarily give it to doctor or voluntarily give it to IRCC?

Medical was uploaded on Aug 19.

Hello everyone! Last time I was on here was when I did my wife's sponsorship back in 2013. We are now in the process of sponsoring her Mother. We sent in the application and received a letter back saying there were errors.

We are trying to correct the errors but the instructions are very confusing for some of these items. Some help/clarification would be great. I will list them in order bellow.

The situation - we are sponsoring my wife's mother. Her father (in his 70's) and sister (in her 30's) are NOT intending to move to Canada or apply. They have already come here successfully on vistor visa and returned.

Here are the questions from the letter. bellow


"...... the following item is missing or incomplete:

# 1
IMM 0008: The Principal Applicant and all applicable dependents (including your spouse), whether accompanying or not, must be listed on the IMM0008. One or more of your dependents is not listed on the IMM0008. Please provide a newly completed
IMM0008 listing the Principal Applicant and all dependents (including your spouse), whether accompanying or not.


**** for this application do we list her mother only? She has no dependent children as her daughters are all older then 22 (my wife and her sister) Also do we have to list her husband even if he is NOT intending to move to Canada?

# 2
IMM 5476 (for Principal Applicant): It appears that you are using an authorized
representative, however, an IMM5476 has not been provided for the Principal Applicant.
Please provide a current, complete and signed Use of a Representative form (IMM
5476) for the Principal Applicant.
You must submit the most recent version of this form (09-2015).


**** We had filled this out with my wife's information as the representative. Do we need to do this if we are NOT using a lawyer or immigration agent? We filled it out thinking it would be handy to have my wife be able to access her file but perhaps we should withdraw this and make it more simple?

# 3
IMM 5406 (for Principal Applicant): The Additional Family Information (IMM 5406) is
missing or incomplete. Please provide a current, completed and signed Additional
Family Information (IMM 5406) for the Principal Applicant and all dependents aged
18 and over, whether accompanying or not. Each individual must sign their own
copy of this form by hand.


**** This is a confusing one because it asked for all dependents aged 18 or over however dependents are defined as aged 22 or younger. So in this case does my mother in law (the Principal applicant) have to have a separate form for her husband (not coming to Canada), her daughter (my sister in law in her 30's age) and my wife (who is in her 20's but already has PR and lives with me in Canada)?
The instructions are not clear.

I work for the Government of Canada and even I find these forms/wording very confusing. If anyone here knows the answers to # 1, 2 or 3. Some clarity would help greatly before we resubmit these pages.

Thank you in advance for any of you who can help! Cheers from Victoria BC

  2. We sent you a letter on September 9, 2019. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
This Sept 9 letter is the Biometric letter I got yesterday.

Hi all,

My application was received in ottawa on june 5th. Still waiting for a response from cic.

My parents are here in Canada since march ,2019 on visit visa. I have applied for there extension last month. I need there help here.
In the formsI submitted I have mention my canadian address as mailing address for them and india’s address (the one on their passport) as their residential address. I did mention they are in Canada as a visitor (IMM 0008).

My concern is over the biometric request? Will i receive it for them. If yes then do they have to go to India to get it done?

Also I am waiting for my application number so I can update cic regarding increase in family member from 5 to 6 because i had a new born recently. I will be updating them regarding my parents extension as well if approved.

Any suggestions will help.

Thanks

The father must be included even if he is listed as non-accompanying. It isn’t an option not to include him.

After medical exam I received this email. What does it mean? The clinic doesn't get any request or information from Regional Medical Office. Thanks.

Dear applicant,



Your immigration medical examination result has been received and in order to complete the assessment additional information is required.



Please print out a copy of this message and present it to the panel physician who did your initial immigration medical examination. In exceptional situations, you may utilize the services of another panel physician used for Canadian immigration examinations (http://www.cic.gc.ca/pp-md/pp-list.aspx). Exceptional circumstances include: moving to a new location making it difficult to visit the original panel physician, or the original panel physician is no longer available.



You have 60 days from the date of this letter to comply with this request.



Kind regards,



Regional Medical Office (RMO)- Manila

Embassy of Canada Manila

#1 Your father-in-law is considered as a dependant to your mother-in-law. Note the "including spouse" part.
He needs to be listed as such and counted toward the number of sponsored people (i.e. 2). This does not matter even if he has no intension to come to Canada. I hope you included him in your interest to sponsor form as well.

#2 you need to fill out a Representative form IMM 5476 using the most recent version. I recommend this route since your wife will have access to her mother's information/can troubleshoot on her mother's behalf, which is helpful especially if her English is not good.

#3 IMM 5406 needs to include your mother-in-law (principal applicant), your father-in-law (her spouse), her parents (your wife's grandparent) and her children (your wife and her sister) all on the same form. No other form is needed but all of the above must be listed. Did you do this?
