Family PR Cards renewal

[Sermasinko84]

Hi,

I will start the process of the family PR cards renewal. Appreciate your replies for the following

1. I downloaded renewal forms from the immigration website, is the forms and documents submission online or I will send it by mail.
2. I have 2 kids under age of 16, do they need separate application for each or they will be attached to mother's application. Please just inform me if I need to pay renewal fees for them also.
3. Do I have to attach documents such as Tax, Electricity bills, Internet bills, School papers for the kids, Car registration and other documents that shows our presence.
4. If I will send the applications via mail, I can put it all in one envelope or separate envelopes.

Thank you in advance.

The application kit includes all the information from A to Z one needs...please read those instructions carefully!! Follow the instructions because if you don't IRCC might send back the application or ask for more documents which will cause a delay.

1. you need to print those forms and send it by mail (make copies of that application for your own file)
2. you need to file/print "separate" forms for the kids
3. as stated in the instructions you'll have to send copies of tax reports, rental agreements, etc
4. you can use UPS or just Canada Post (Priority Mail Envelope) - use one for all

And it's $50 for each application.

Look up the Document Checklist (1.) as well as the Instruction Guide (7.)!!

Good luck!!

Thank you very much for your kind reply and information provided.

Appreciate your reply if it is OK to send Copies of some documents as I will need the originals.

Thank you again

 

[Tri-Cities]

Yep, do NOT send any originals! Except for the receipt you'll get after you paid the fees!

And make copies of all pages of each passport. It doesn't matter if pages are empty, IRCC wants to see it all

Good luck!!

Re: Family PR Cards renewal (What is the UCI Number?)

I need to know what is the UCI Number as I am filling the PR renewal form and the UCI number appears in the first page.

Thank you

 

[Tri-Cities]

You will be given a UCI number, you do not have one yet.

After you've sent in the application you'll get an email from IRCC. If your application is okay they'll send you an email and you'll get your UCI. This might take a few weeks, so you need to be patient.

One issue that i was thinking about yesterday while I was completing the application forms. We are already completed full 3 years in Canad and as i heard that the law of 3 of 5 will be back maybe in September. in case i submit the renewal applications and they approve the 3 of 5 years law again, Can I submit my application for the citizenship and another issue, in case I got the renewal PR cards, is the counter of our days in Canada will be reset and start counting from start or our days from old PR card will count. Sorry I feel that no sense for what I am asking but i want to be sure as it is family future.

Thank you

As this is a renewal and he is already PR yes he does have an UCI. This number is the same that you receive once you apply for any immigration status, e.g. PR. This number does not change.

Sermasinko84 you will find your UCI on your current PR card under your ID number or on your original landing papers.

Dears, I reviewed the sent link but I am still confused. Please I need your help.

We were in Canada for 3 years and We have to renew our PR cards, is these 3 years will not count when We receive the new PR cards and the counter to start from ZERO Day or when we complete the 4th year we can submit our applications for the citizenship OR if they decide to be back for the 3 years law and we can submit immediately our citizenship application even if we got the renewal cards.

Thank you.

Your time you were here in Canada (3 years before renewal plus any time after renewal) will be counted towards citizenship.

Yes you can apply for citizenship as soon as you become eligible...even if you are still in process of renewing card or after renewing card.

Thank you

[Sermasinko84]

Thank you for your support and great information. I completed all the applications for all the family (6 persons). Each person with separate large size envelope which can be sealed. CAN I send all the envelopes as one package ( each envelope sealed and written the name of the person) or I have to send it one by one.

Thank you
