Not sure I understand. This is the checklist I used http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5491E.pdf
It looks as though this checklist is new, updated in January. Still has the IMM5540 on there (which has remained same since 2008)??
See http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp for what forms are needed and the revision dates.
Is this what you used as well?
Please check the last modified date of the second link.
Here's the latest check list

And here is the application package which doesn't have that form which was requested to you.

I think you should hire a representative and fight against this issue. Or i think since you have applied before march ends and if you might have missed this form they will ask for it.
I am not too sure about it. Just my personal belief. U can akways ask to some of our seniors.
