Requests for additional documents on open applications
The COVID-19 facilitation, where request letters for additional information or documents were issued with 90-day extensions, applies
until April 11, 2021. On
April 12, 2021 and later, an officer will send a final request letter with a 30-day deadline to the affected applicants, to allow for either of the following to be provided by the applicant:
- the submission of the missing documents or information, or
- a request for extension to submit documents at a later time with a reasonable explanation and proof of the explanation that would allow the application to remain open
Officers will send the letter through Outgoing Correspondence in GCMS. Once applicants receive their final request letter, they will have the option to upload their missing documents online.
After the final 30-day timeframe has expired for the request for additional information, officers will use their discretion to either
- grant an additional 30-day extension where a reasonable explanation and proof has been provided, or
- make a final decision, where possible, with the information on file.
Applications received on or after April 12, 2021, should be submitted with all of the mandatory supporting documents or a
reasonable explanation with proof why the applicant cannot obtain the document at this time. Existing PDI (Non-COVID) processing guidance is in effect for officers who require additional information or documents following application review.
