Guys.. I might be wrong but there is a possibilty of different treatment for application and some document without UCI they might send additional docs without UCI without any processing so we cant draw any conclusion yet.
Seniors please share your experince.

In truth...I am simply assuming. Based on the date his application was received (The morning of May 8th) and his location (US) and the fact that they sent him mail correspondence on June 10th which he received yesterday. This would indicate that if his original package were returned to him, he would have gotten it long before now.

dtfan said:
In my humble opinion....I think what happened here is that if he does not have an UCI yet, the CIO just sent the extra form back without even checking his file. I don't see how this is evidence of any application passing the cap filter. The question is, does he have an UCI? If he has an UCI code, then it would make sense to think his application is ok and did not need the extra form. Hopefully he has one and included it in the cover letter.

Great, thanks! So, my wife's father need to sign it? I read somewhere that the letter should be from notary? Another query: my birth certificate is pretty old and doesn't mention my name (as I had no name when I was born :p), so is it advisable to submit it or get a similar affidavit for myself too?
Yes your father-in-law should make declaration and sign in front of notary. Witness is also required. Notary will also sign and put his seal.

Dear xxxxxxx
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada which was received on
xx/xx/2012 (mm/dd/yyyy). We confirm receipt of your application package at the Visa Office in
New Delhi. You must quote the file number above in all future correspondence with our office.
As your application has been determined to be eligible by CIO Sydney you are not eligible for
any refund of the processing fee should your application be withdrawn or refused by the visa
office.
Processing time
Applications for permanent residence in Canada in the category that you have applied to,
require an average of 10 months to process at this office. If you have not received any
instructions from this office 6 months after you submitted your full application, you are
requested to contact this office directly.
Interview
You will be notified of the appointment for your interview, if required, approximately 1 month
prior to the date of the interview, and you will be provided with further instructions at that time.
Section 15 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act authorizes an officer to proceed with
an examination where a person makes an application for permanent residence in Canada for
the purpose of determining whether the person and all his or her accompanying family
members, appear to be persons who may be granted entry into Canada. To proceed with an
examination, a personal interview is frequently required. Section 16 of the Immigration and
Refugee Protection Act states that a person who makes an application must answer truthfully all
questions put to them for the purpose of the examination. If an applicant appears for the
interview without all the family members as required by the officer, then the required
examination cannot be completed. This means that the applicant would be found to be
inadmissible to Canada as a foreign national by virtue of the fact that he or she is unable to
comply with all the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the
Regulations, following sections 11 and 41 of the Act.
Interpreters
Interpreters must be arranged in advance for any family members who will be interviewed and
who are unable to communicate well in either of Canada's official languages of English or
French. Instructions for the provision of interpreters will be provided to you prior to your
interview appointment.
Non-resident applications
If you or any of your accompanying family members are not normally resident in the area of
responsibility of this office, then you should be aware that there may be additional delay in the
Immigration Section - Service de l’Immigration
7/8 Shantipath, Chanakyapuri PO Box 5209 New Delhi 110021 India www.india.gc.ca
processing of your application for permanent residence in Canada. This delay will result from
the need to refer your case to the Canadian Immigration office which is responsible for the
country in which you or your family members normally reside. This referral is necessary to verify
any information that you have provided with your application, or for advice concerning
qualifications or other matters of a local concern that should be taken into account when
assessing your application.
Let us know
If there is a change in your personal circumstances, such as the birth of a child, a marriage or
divorce, you have to let us know (see address, fax number and email address below).
You must also inform us of a:
1. Change of address, including change of e-mail address;
2. Change of immigration representative;
3. Request for withdrawal of your application.
Prepare yourself for immigration to Canada
Your application has just been received at visa office and some months will probably pass
before you know the final decision on your application. We nonetheless encourage you to use
these months to gather information on Canada.
One of your first steps should be to begin researching potential employment in Canada. Most
occupations in Canada are not regulated. For those occupations, the employer is responsible
for assessing and recognizing your qualifications.
However, some occupations are regulated and do not permit persons to practice without a
license. To obtain a license to practice a regulated occupation, you must go through an
assessment and an acceptance of your education and professional qualifications by a
regulatory body. This assessment will compare your training, education and experience to
Canadian requirements. The assessment will also help determine whether further training and
evaluation may be needed before you acquire a license to practice your occupation in Canada.
In partnership with Service Canada, the Foreign Credentials Referral Office (FCRO) provides
information and referrals. You can find more information on the FCRO Web site at:
www.credentials.gc.ca. Clients in Canada can call 1-888-854-1805 or the Service Canada
general enquiries number at 1-800-O-Canada (1-800-622-6232) for more information. Clients in
Canada can also obtain in-person service at Service Canada Centers.
The Going to Canada Internet site (at www.directioncanada.gc.ca ) contains important
information about living and working in Canada as well as the “Working in Canada Tool” which
will tell you what the current prospects are for your occupation across Canada. It offers
information on essential skills, job descriptions, work conditions and opportunities. It will also tell
you whether your occupation is a regulated profession in Canada.
We trust that this information is helpful.
Thank you for your interest in Canada.

That's correct. I believe same to be true of his case. If he hadn't gotten a favorable initial evaluation, then he should have his first documents back just like Martha. My guess is this guy is good to go at-least for stage 1.

we are only safe once we receive a positive acknowledgement from CIC till then we all r shaky. running our imaginations wild and assuming will never help. keep calm and carry on with your notmal life. and posting pics abt waiting for cic to reply is fruitless,
though this year cic is taking its time. normaly cc should have been charged by now.

Will somebody care to answer my question???


I sent my application with translated Birth certificate and National ID.

The translator sealed together my translation along with the copy of Birth certificate with his stamp on it. (he did the same for national ID)

That is all what I sent to CIC, as far as the notarised copy of both is concerned, I didn't send it seperately. I presumed that the sealed copy with translator stamp would be sufficent.

Now, I have a feeling that I should have notarised or certified the copies of both from Canadian Embassy. What do the seniors have to say about this...

Should I send the certified copies now or wait for the application to be returned (just because of this)! or CIC might accept it the way I sent and no need to worry so much?

Pls help me..I am going nuts!
I've made it exactly the same and consulted my agent and he said it should be ok, no need to stamp it from Canadian embassy if your translator is a certified notary.
