- Passport Request
Date: 2020-03-11
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada. In order to complete the processing of your application, your passport and the documents listed below are required. Please read and carefully follow all the instructions in this letter.
You need to submit all passports and documents in one package, with a copy of this letter, within 30 days. Failure to provide the requested documents within this timeframe may result in the refusal or cancellation of your application. If you are unable to meet the deadline of this letter, please send an email explaining your circumstances to us at
amman.immigration@international.gc.ca
VISA VALIDITY:
Subject to a final review of your file and passport, the permanent resident visa you may be issued will expire at the same time as your medical examination or your passport – whichever date comes first. Please ensure that your passport is valid for at least 12 months.
You and all your accompanying dependents must travel to Canada and present your immigration documents at a Canadian Port of Entry before they expire. The validity of the visas cannot be extended.
Documents to submit:
1 Original signed valid passport for yourself and each accompanying dependent:
• Each person, including minor children, must have their own passport with at least two blank pages in each passport.
• Civil passports are the only type of passport into which a permanent resident visa may be inserted. Diplomatic, official, and other special passports are not accepted for this purpose.
• Any passport changes after visas are issued will result in a charge of CAD $30.00 for each visa.
• Passports that are not signed by the holder are not valid for travel.
Please note that the name indicated on your passport will be the name that appears on all of your documents after you become a Permanent Resident of Canada (e.g. driver’s license, social insurance card, health card…etc.)
2 Two (2) recent photographs for yourself and each accompanying dependent:
• The photos must be 50 mm x 70 mm with a white background. Exact photo specifications are provided at the end of this letter and are available here:
www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf
• The two photos must show a full front view of the person’s head and shoulders, showing their full face centred in the middle of the photograph. Do not smile.
• Write your file number and the name of each person on the back of their photos. Do not use a ball-point pen. Wait until the ink dries before stacking the photos on top of each other.
• The photos must not be damaged or blemished. Do not staple, glue or pin the photos. Instead, they can be paper-clipped or enclosed in a small envelope.
3 Please complete the information requested on the “Updated Information Chart” below.
4 If you need to inform us of a new baby born to a Canadian citizen, you must submit proof that the child is a Canadian citizen. If you have not yet received proof of citizenship, you must immediately inform the Consular Section of the Canadian Embassy in Amman of the birth of the child and the fact that you intend to travel with the child soon.
CHANGE IN FAMILY COMPOSITION:
You must notify our «Addressee_Telephone_Num» office in writing if there are/will be changes in your life circumstances before visa issuance, such as:
• Family status (e.g. marriage or common-law relationship, divorce, annulment, legal separation, birth, adoption, death of the sponsor, principal applicant or any accompanying family member); or
• You or any of your family members being charged or convicted of a criminal offence
Failure to inform us of any of these changes may delay processing, result in the cancellation of your immigrant visas, or render you and your family members inadmissible to Canada. Failure to inform us of dependent family members during the processing of your application will permanently exclude them from being sponsored in the Family Class from Canada.
