Hello there,

We just got our common law sponsorship application package sent out at May 15th return to us.
In the letter, CIC indicates some of the information is missing and did not meet the requirement for application.
I have two questions regarding to the letter,

1. On the document checklist, applicant's status proof was highlighted. However, on the letter, it mentions "Proof of Status in Canada(Permanent Residence Card, Canadian Citizenship Card, Canadian citizenship certificate of card, Canadian birth certificate, Canadian passport...)" is missing. From the letter, I assume the proof of status is required for sponsor, but the sponsor proof of status part on checklist was not highlighted, but the applicant's.

In addition, we included sponsor's PR card copy already. I don't know which part proof of status is missing.

One thing we're currently thinking is that CIC is asking for the applicant's proof of status.
As my parter's status expired at May 15th, at the same day we sent out the application package. We thought he would have implied status, and CIC agent confirmed with that as well.
Is it possible that CIC thinks my partner is out of status, and asks for explanation of his status?
Or something else?

2. When apply for working permit with the sponsorship package, my parter paid the wrong payment option for working permit, and is short for $55.
What we can do now to make up that $55? Should we pay $155 again, and will CIC later reimburse our other $100 payment at the first time?

Thank you very much!!!

Hi

1. Well, your partner is out of status now, so you can't submit proof of status anyways. Include another copy of your PR card and a letter of explanation for your partner.

2. IRCC will refund any overpayment. As he is now out of status, you will also need to pay $200 for Restoration on top of the $255 OWP fees.

Sorry, I forgot to mentioned he also applied for tourist visa extension. And we still haven't got the result of it. is he still in implied status? Should we include this as his proof of status in explanation letter?

I am also wondering why CIC didn't have any clue of his status? I thought it's all in the system.....so this makes me unsure if CIC is asking the explanation letter regarding to his status.....

Thank you!

He applied to extend his visitor status before his previous expired on May 15th? If so, then yes, he has Implied Status.

The visitor extension may not have been in the system yet. Or IRCC may have just screwed up. Include everything for both of your statuses and a letter of explanation.

We will include both of our proof of status in the explanation letter.
