Wait to be notified. They won't be able to match up the new form it's your file until they actually open it and organize it.

Just got an email from CIC this morning regarding changing IMM1344 to IMM1344 2014.8 version. I only got this request to update my form. However, when I look at CIC website, it showed IMM5490 Sponsored questionnaire has changed to 2014,08 version. Should I attach new forms to them? or just send what they have requested from me in email?

IMM5490 should be August 2013, so you should be fine. Just update IMM1344.

The only other August 2014 form is IMM0008DEP.

I think the consensus is to wait until it is requested for you to send new form. But it is your choice...

Did you get one or two letters like bornil? Just wanted to make sure they don't actually send back the application package as they state in the first letter, but rather hold it as they state in the second letter.

Would you be able to add your name to the speadsheet so we don't keep asking when you sent your application? Thanks very much!

Mine was received on August 6th but I haven't heard from them. I can't remember if I used the updated form. I filled the imm1344 at a cyber on the 2nd of August but I don't know what day they updated the forms. So either it's ok or maybe they have lost it lol. Good luck everyone

I think that letter is a standard request letter, the officer actually highlighted the IMM1344 line on ours. The second letter specified that it was only that form that they are requesting.
