Application returned - help!

[Aquakitty]

Yes, but the one that they sent on the AOR is different than the one that was given to me on my Visitor extension. Does that mean the one they sent on the AOR is actually the Sponsor's UCI?

Yes my UCI is on the AOR and SA. His is on the COPR.

Coolness!! That makes sense!!

Because he cannot LIVE in Canada until he receives his PR card. LIVING in Canada without PR status is illegal. He can VISIT me but his residential address remains in the US (again, because he cannot RESIDE in Canada). It's logical. But I guess CIC doesn't follow simple logic.

In one of the forms it asks where he is residing and then gives the option to state what his status his, with one of the options being visiting.

My partner has no UCI and we are outside Canada so do we contact CIC in Mississauga or Sydney?

On this link it has info on changing your address if you are inside or outside of Canada. You would contact your Visa office, if that is Sydney, then Yes.

Outside Canada

If you submitted an immigration application, you must contact the Canadian visa office serving your region to change your address.

Sent our outland application 2 weeks ago and they returned it. I'm almost in tears, I'm so upset.

Background: I'm sponsoring my American husband, we both are living in Canada. He is staying on a tourist visa, which we intend to extend, once the time comes.

In IMM008, as his residential address, we put his American address (his brother's house), and as mailing address we put my Canadian address (where we both technically reside, though he just as a visitor). The situation is explained in various documents, such as history of our relationship or on the form where they ask if we live together.

This is what they wrote in the return note: "A correction to the mailing address specific on the IMM008 to reflect the mailing address of the principal applicant; or if the principal applicant wishes to have correspondence mailed to the address specified, a completed and signed Use of Representative form is required for the authorization of release of documents and information to the individual residing at this address"

WTF? What does that even mean? Clearly, they didn't review this application because it is clear that the principal applicant (my husband) lives under this address as a visitor, hence this is his mailing address for the time being.

I'm so frustrated.

So what do I do? Change the address on IMM008 to Canadian address or complete the Use of Representative form?

Also, for people who are obsessing over organizing the application - don't even bother. I had everything nicely organized, inserted tabs and paper clipped documents - it all came back to me as loose pages. I'm so mad. It took me days to organize it and they didn't even bother to send it back the way they received it. I hope the pages are at least in order so that attachments to forms aren't displaced.
But yeah, I'm not even gonna insert tabs when I resubmit it. I'll just put a paper clip and that's it. It is obvious that they remove everything once they receive it and organize it in their own folders.

OMG!!

I definetly can related to the part about how they sent your application back
This happened to me too, after weeks and months of organizing my applicatin with tabs,sections, paper clip , table of contents, proper folders etc.

Just like your application, they rip it all apart and send it back looking like dog food !!!

I couldnt be brothered to organize it all over again with tabs, sections paper etc so I sent it back in one big bag apposed to how I sent it out initially- real sad , they just don't care all we are is a ID number


unbelievable !!!

Smh ..........I'm am so sorry this happened to you and hope you get this straighten out and back to them ASAP
good luck and Im sure you will be fine the second time around ( I slipped a nice note in my second time around package begging them not to send it back again lol )

Chin up

How do they notify the applicants of their application being returned? Do they send an email first? because i may have made the same mistake.

No they do not send a email they send the disorganized package to your home and if your not home, Canada post will leave a card for package pick up to your nearest post office according to your postal code.

When I received the Canada Post parcel pick up card I extremely got sick to my stomach hoping it wasn't what I thought it was and there was only one way to find out . I immediately went online to the canada post website using the tracking number provided on the red slip from Canada Post- once I retrieved the information and noticed the parcel sitting at the post office stated the parcel was from Missussauga I became more sick

Its really heart breaking

I was sleepless and weak for days! I pray this doesn't happen to anyone
And I got my package back two weeks after I submitted it

good luck and strongly hoping you will be fine

 

[needhimback]

Wow...that sucks so no email notification? because me and my partner no longer lives in our previous address anymore. :'(

No email because they are not processing your application ( and they make that clear in the letter they send you with the return package)

Update. I worked my butt off and managed to re-submit the application yesterday. I'm sick as a dog but I really really wanted to send it before Christmas (otherwise it would be on my mind over the holidays). So, the wait begins...again haha Hopefully all goes smooth this time!

How do they know where to return the application to? because i had two different addresses for mailing and residence but I emailed there last week with an enquiry to correct application information. Also, I did not include a representative form because we dont have a representative.
