Hi everyone. Quick question.
I just sent off our package yesterday, and noticed that they have updated form imm0008 generic Jan.2020.
Ours were the 2019 forms. As we had signed them in December 2019, but due to dependent child issues we had a delay.
Is there a chance our package will be sent back because of that? Please help
Not a problem... there's a grace period for using old forms. Otherwise it would have been difficult once one has finished preparing all documents and then there is an update of a form. Or when one spouse signs their forms and needs to send a form to another spouse in a different country for signatures, and then suddenly cic updates a form.

Just make sure the dates where you signed is atleast not more than 60 days old. (Or 90)

perhaps it depends on the immigration officer. In the summer, I read a lot of messages that the people who sent the documents received a request to send new forms (which were updated in a few months and even half a year after AOR1!!!)

Hello

We got AOR1 on 15th Feb, however I am still not able to link my account online. Tried a number of combinations.
Is there something specific to keep in mind while trying to do so?

Thanks
Number of Applicants is 2 or add the number of dependents even if non-accomp.
Follow your passport or look at a copy of your IMM0008 enter what you put on there. Took me 3 days to figure out to add my Non-Acc Dep. lol

I called in and they told me. But yes...That should help.

Yes my spouse lives in St Kitts. We signed the forms in December, and i sent them 3 days ago to CIC. I hope they dont send it back just because of the imm0008 new update. Yesterday made 2months since we signed the forms. Itll cost apprx $200 for my husband to signed that new form and send it back to me. I truly hope this will not be the case.

refusal and return of documents will not be for this reason. but may be asked later to send a new version of the application (based on the experience of predecessors)

That is what i am asking, and hoping not. That it will be returned because of the imm0008 update.
I used 2019 forms as well. Got biometric, medical and sponsor approval on feb 14.
