have now completed the assessment of your application for a permanent resident visa as a member of the family class, the class in which you applied. I have determined that you do not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.
Subsection 12(1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act states that a foreign national may be selected as a member of the family class on the basis of their relationship as the spouse, common-law partner, child, parent or other prescribed family member of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
(d) the sponsor previously made an application for permanent residence and became a permanent resident and, at the time of that application, the foreign national was a non- accompanying family member or a former spouse or former common-law partner of the sponsor and was not examined.
Your sponsor previously made an application for permanent residence and became a permanent resident and, at the time of that application, you were not declared as a dependent of your sponsor and therefore you were not examined. As a result, I have determined that you are not a member of the family class.
Subsection 11(1) of the Act provides that a foreign national must, before entering Canada, apply to an officer for a visa or any other document required by the regulations. The visa or document shall be issued if, following an examination, the officer is satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the requirements of this Act.

I am sending a letter to your sponsor notifying of the appeal provisions of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. I am using the last known address for your sponsor:
