Building on the good advice from @ soonihope, does anyone have a concise list of what's asked when CIC does get around to processing May-Nov 2011 applications? Option C printout of which year? Any other forms/documents etc.?
I assume applicants prior to May 2011 would have received similar requests. It only makes sense to get those ready and send them right away when you do get a request for documents for the sponsor approval.
Any input would be great!
Last year the document list asked for the option C printout for the year you applied and the previous year.
That would be 2010 & 2011 for everyone. I would however also request the other year's i.e 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015. The reason is if you need to provide additional option C printout then no delay in waiting to get them.
Below is list of everything requested last year:
1
Option C Printout
Submit an original Option C Printout for the tax year that you submitted the original sponsorship application AND an original Option C Printout for the year before you submitted the application. The Option C Printout is required for both tax years.
Original
