Bro,

That is why its alws preferable to use DD....:)

Anyway the thing is that, right now u can email to below ID with ur name+PP+ DOB and App rcvd date

CIO-Sydney-Search-Enquiry @ cic.gc.ca

Consider the above without space

Write "URGENT" on ur email and ask them for the way forward for this issue...

In between of this, u can send new CC info included Fee Payment form....with a cover letter including ur name+PP+ DOB and App rcvd date ...

I hope they will accept it..:)
Hey Ashif

I have somewhat similar issue - My app reached CIC on May 28th and even though I have provided them with DD, it's only with a 3 month validity. My NOC is 1112. Would that be an issue? Many thanks in advance for your help.

Dear Asifee,

last few queries in rechck of forms. almost done.. !! Iam planning migration along with spouse.

Generic Application Form for Canada (IMM 0008). Dependant personal Details , question 12 Type of dependant

++
Type A The dependant is under the age of 22 and is single (not
married and not in a common-law relationship).

Type B The dependant has been continuously enrolled in and in attendance as a
full‑time student at a post-secondary institution accredited by the relevant
government authority and has depended substantially on the financial
support of a parent either:
since before the age of 22, or
since marrying or entering into a common-law relationship (if it
happened before the age of 22).

Type C The dependant is 22 years of age or older, has depended
substantially on the financial support of a parent since before
the age of 22, and is unable to provide for himself or herself
because of a medical condition.
++

Iam confused, whats is to be marked for a normal dependant more than 22 year. ???

regds

Brother,

When u choose spouse on ques 10 then that field of Ques 12 should be grayed out.....
