Dear inlanders, my application was received on November 26, 2011. I am now thinking to submit more documents proactively, but want to clarify some issues before I sent them.
1. For those who have got their DM and who are still waiting, did you (or are you going to) submit more supporting documents without CIC ask for them?
2. I am thinking to submit sponsor's NOA for 2012 as my sponsor has higher income (the income she wrote for the previous 12 months on the application form was lower than the LICO for my family size), but on the other hand income is not necessary for spouse application. I am also thinking to submit RCMP fingerprint, but on the other hand CIC may do it themself. So is it necessary to submit the two documents?
3. Will submit the documents delay the process of my application given my timeline?
Thanks for your help!
well, income is not required only if you are in
Quebec. I am gonna tell you what I think whether income is required or not:
If you do RCMP, it takes about 3 weeks for you to get the clearance letter from them which you will add to your file.
For your husband proof of income, it will be a good thing to send the out as well.
Well see, sending more docs proactively is not a bad thing at all. all depends on cic time line regarding more doc request. Back in April, CIC was taking 40 days to open your received file and attach it. you are still three months away, considering your RCMP clearance letter is been received.
people do their own RCMP because it can make it quicker for CIC to issue a decision. I have done it. the fingerprint agency did mine electronically rather than cards and soon after i got the clearance letter from RCMP. over all my applic took a bit longer as they asked for more proof of relationship like mariage certficate, lease, common accts and so on which i had provided but maybe lost.
If I were you all in all, I will go ahead and send these (if have client ID# of course). write your client ID# on them or on a cover letter and tell them to attach it to your PR package. It will take them about 45 days to attach it and will rather make your app faster.
