Received the following email from Ottawa this morning even though we got PPR request on Friday - What the heck???
Ø Provide evidence of adequate financial arrangements for care and support (not involving social assistance) that are in place for yourself in Canada. This may include, but is not limited to, paystubs, employment letters, and tax documents including the most recent 2012 notice of assessment (T4 & NOA) for both you and your sponsor. This must be received at this office by: 2013/08/29
Also - for the T4/NOA for 2012 - neither myself or my spouse changed our marital status during our last tax return due to accountants recommendation due to neither spouse being a resident of eachothers countries (US and Canada) and if we had changed it (as we got married in Nov 2012) it asked for the spouses' SIN number etc. which clearly we don't have. Is this going to raise a flag??? We were told we would change it for this tax year once my husband has landed and has a SIN number.
That seems to be the new thing for Ottawa. Request proof of financial support. I'm actually "pro" on this one. I hope all VOs are doing it.
We didn't send in tax documents. We sent in copies of two paystubs, another copy of the employer letter (same one) to show my husband is still working that same job, a copy of his savings account, and an unofficial transcript from my university showing my intended graduation date.
Decision Made today. I haven't gotten anything else, so it is positive.
So don't worry too much about tax documents. If CIC has to have them, they will tell you. I would
only worry if you have moved to Canada during processing - aka you didn't have tax documents to send then, but you do have them now. Even then, just send what you think is best. I did that, emailed Ottawa a few days later. I told them what I sent and told them if they needed anything else, to let me know.
