Hello Seniors
I am a FSW-O March applicant. A bit of background on my application:
I applied in March, 2017 with my passport expiring in October 2017. Although I could have renewed my passport prior to submitting my application. I did not want to take any chances as all my supporting documents refer to my passport number which was due to expire in October, 2017.
Subsequently, I renewed my passport in the 1st week of May - 2017and notified CIC about the changes to my application through a CSE. However, I did not receive any form of acknowledgement from CIC that my application has been updated with my new passport. Therefore, I raised a second CSE on June 06. As a consequence of the CSE (big a$$ assumption), Today I received a letter from CIC which states:
We have begun processing your application for permanent residence, and in order to make a decision we require the following information/documents:
Passport/Travel Document: Please provide a copy of new passport. The passport must be valid for at least 6 months.
This must be received at this office by: 2017/06/20
Please note that the requested information/documents must be received within 7 days from the date of this correspondence. Please upload these documents to your MyCIC account.
If we do not receive the information/documents within 7 days, your application will be assessed based on the information we have on file, meaning your application could be refused as incomplete.
Following instructions of the above letter, I uploaded my new passport's biographic details page along with 4 visa stamps on my cic page (there was an additional section 'replacement document' to upload this) . However, I did not include the visa stamps as part of CSE entries in May and June as I assumed it would be irrelevant as they were only to my home country and the other visa stamp was a schengen visa (I did not yet make the trip - so no port of entry/exit stamp).
I would be grateful, if any of the seniors on the forum can help me decode this letter. My questions...
· Does the above letter from CIC indicate that my application is almost through and PPR is around the corner or this is a typical response to a CSE?
· Since I did not include the visa stamps on my passport while raising a CSE in June (I travelled in May) - will I be found guilty of misrepresentation?
Your responses will be much appreciated and might bring solace to this worried PR aspirant.
