Hi everyone!
I AM TOTALLY CONFUSED TO SAY THE LEAST!
Background:
Applied for permanent residence via the sponsorship visa (common-law category). My Canadian partner was approved as sponsor and the Vienna office has been processing the PR application since November 1, 2012.
So far the Vienna office has countless amounts of evidence from us such as electricity bills, letter addressed to both or either one of us, driver's license with common address, photos, notary statements from friends, proof of joint bank account, etc.
(unfortunately we have no joint possesions or mortgage).
In December they request from us a statutory declaration of common-law and a notary statment of our co-habitation which we sent them.
This morning I received an e-mail from the Vienna office stating:
e-mail from the vienna office this morning stating:
"Pursuant to subsection 16 (1) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA), I am requiring you to produce the following evidence and documents.
A copy of your marriage certificate with certified translation into either English or French"
First of all we do not have a marriage certificate as we are not married but applied under the common-law category. We would not mind getting married since we love each other but still, can vienna ask us to get married to make a positive decision? That means we would just marry for me to get permanent residence status and that is exactly something that would be considered fraud.
In the e-mail it says that if we cant provide the document within 60 days the further processing might not continue.
I am honestly completely confused right now.
They sent me a second e-mail just 5 minutes later asking me to get my medicals done.
My last medicals were done January 2012 and these result were handed in with my application package. On the cic website it accordingly states that my medical results have been received. Also no idea how to take this request.
I truly appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks you so much.
Christine
