Hi. We recently got a request from IRCC to submit a resume from the applicant. I am wondering is that a requirement for a spousal sponsorship application. Anyone who has gotten a similar request. or if this is normal procedure. We are getting a bit worried.

They sometimes request this. As far as I can tell, it doesn't in itself indicate something is wrong, but that the officer thinks that a resume/cv in normal (not form-based) format will be easier to understand and make use of than the standard forms. Perhaps in particular there are dates of employment/study that on the electronic forms are confusing or perhaps don't quite line up. (My editorial comment is that sometimes applicants get themselves tied in knots about part-time things, student stuff, etc, whereas on a resume overlaps aren't that uncommon)

Read the two posts above this. It's not that rare. It's not necessarily something to worry about.

I understand it may be hard to speculate, but does anyone know what the quickest turnaround for reviewing a document request like this?
We got the same request and while there were no errors in the original submission, there was an overlap of study and work periods. Hopefully, the resume clears up the confusion their own form caused.

@Mb80 did you hear back from IRCC? If so, how long did it take?

we got the same CV request for my husband yesterday. Do we have to write formal Resume or explain any gaps that might have caused any sort of confusion for them.
Hey. We just got the request today. Did you submit resume yet? Any help would be appreciated. Did you do any research? Based on mine, it has caused a major delay in application completion.

No, I haven't yet. My consultant is working on it. I just gave him a synopsis of my husband's education and employment history. I'll keep you posted if anything comes up.
