Dear AARTI PRAVIN BHAT,
The processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada is almost complete. The following
is required to complete your application and for CPC-Ottawa to issue your Confirmation of Permanent
Residence (IMM 5688) and permanent residence visa (if a visa is required).
STEP 1: CHANGE IN PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES (If none of these conditions applies to you,
you may proceed to STEP 2)
Have your family composition, personal circumstances or address changed since our last correspondence?
Family status (e.g. marriage or common-law union, divorce, annulment, legal separation, birth,
adoption, death of the sponsor, principal applicant or any accompanying family member, including
grandchildren born to dependent children); or
You or any of your family members being charged or convicted of a criminal offence; or
Changes to mailing address/e-mail address/telephone number/contact information.
Failure to inform CIC of any of these changes may delay processing, may result in the cancellation of
your immigrant visas and may render you and your family members inadmissible to Canada. Once your
file is closed, you would be required to submit a new application and pay new processing fees. Any new
application would be assessed under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Regulations in
force at the time of its submission.
Any new spouse and/or children, whether accompanying or not, must be added to your application and
be found admissible to Canada under the Act and Regulations before your case is finalized. Failure to
inform CIC of dependent family members during your application processing will permanently exclude
them from later sponsorship in the Family Class.
If any of these conditions apply, you must inform CPC-Ottawa immediately by e-mail:
CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca
Please include with your e-mail the evidence that supports the change, such as copies of official
certificates or a letter of explanation.
STEP 2: PASSPORT(S), PHOTOS AND BIO DATA REQUEST

exempt from obtaining a visa to visit Canada under Section 190 of the Immigration and Refugee
Protection Regulations (IRPR). Consult the CIC webpage :
