This is a part of the letter I got:
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada. Please send the following requested documents
- To provide us with an original FBI Clearance and original police certificate from USA/Michigan for yourself – instructions attached.
- Have your sponsor pay the Right of Permanent Residence Fee of $490 on your behalf in Canada. Please ensure that the original receipt is forwarded to the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga and NOT to this office.
- It is the responsibility of a Canadian sponsor residing abroad to satisfy the visa officer that he will reside in Canada with the applicant once she becomes a permanent resident of Canada. Please provide evidence to the effect that your sponsor intends to reside in Canada. Such evidence should include letters of resignation from current employment if the sponsor is employed abroad, copy of lease or purchase contract for a place of residence in Canada, employment offers in Canada, bank statements from Canadian bank accounts and a letter signed by your sponsor in which he explains in detail what he has done so far to prepare himself to resume residency in Canada. Your sponsor appears to have resided exclusively outside of Canada since 1998 and does not appear to have maintained any ties to Canada beyond citizenship.
You must send photocopies of the Arabic originals of all documents. Only send ORIGINAL documents when requested. All documents, in a language other than English or French must be accompanied by original certified translations into English or French, except the passport.
If you are requested to submit a Police Certificate (see above), please send the original police certificate and the certified translation.
Please note that if you do not comply with this request within 90 days of the date of this letter, your application for permanent residence in Canada will be assessed on the basis of the information already before the officer. Failure to provide the requested documents could result in the refusal of your application.
Please note: It is your responsibility to ensure that the information you provide our office is accurate and up-to-date. Please inform us immediately if there are any changes to the information or documents you have submitted. If there is a change in your legal status or that of any family member (marriage, birth, death, divorce, etc.) you must notify us before visas are printed.
