Hi newbie here. Im sponsoring my husband and we passed our application in July. CIC received our application July 3rd and got an email stating that I'm eligible to sponsor him (is this the SA?)we received it august 22 and they forwarded it to the Manila. Then yesterday we received an email again from. Embassy Manila but we're confused if they're asking for additional info or it's just a notification that they already received my husbands application. Your reply would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
Email from CEM
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada
which was received at the Embassy of Canada in Manila on 1Sep2014 .
A file has been created with the application number noted above.
Please ensure that you quote this application number in any future
correspondence with our office.
If necessary, at the end of this document is a request for additional
documentation required within 45 days.
Once you have complied with this request, if any additional
information or documentation is required to assess your application,
we will contact you or your designated representative.
Please note that the documentation requested in this letter is
required even if you receive a subsequent letter from our office
asking for additional documentation.
Due to limited resources dedicated to processing the thousands of
applications currently in process, we are unable to respond to
requests for status updates on your file if they fall within the
average processing times.
Interview
You are not required to present yourself in person at the Embassy
unless you are specifically requested to do so or specifically
convoked to an interview. A decision will be made by an officer
regarding whether or not an interview is reasonably required in due
course. At this time, no interview has been scheduled.
If an officer determines that an interview is required, you will be
notified at a later date. You will be notified in writing of any
requirements for your interview, if required, prior to the date of the
interview, and you will be provided with further instructions at that
time.
Change in circumstance
Please advise by email if there is a change in your personal
circumstances, or the personal circumstances of any of your family
members. This might include situations such as the birth of a child, a
marriage, a legal separation, annulment, or divorce. (See our contact
information below.)
You are required to report any changes in family composition for
members of your family (whether accompanying you to Canada or not)
without delay. This includes situations in which your or one of the
children included on your application has become the parent of a
child.
Exclusion: Unexamined Family Members
Please be advised that paragraph 117(9)(d) of the Immigration and
Refugee Protection Regulations excludes from future sponsorship any
foreign national who is not declared/examined at the time his/her
prospective sponsor applies for and obtains permanent residence. If
you (or any of your family members) fails to declare and present for
examination any family member as defined by the Regulations , then you
(or your family member) will not be able to sponsor that undeclared
family member at a later date as a member of the family class.
Subsection 1(3) of the Regulations defines "family member" in respect
of a person as (a) the spouse or common-law partner of the person; (b)
a dependent child of the person or of the person's spouse or common
law partner; and (c) a dependent child of a dependent child referred
to in paragraph (b). Please consult section 2 of the Immigration and
Refugee Protection Regulations for the definitions for "Common law
partner" and "dependent child".
All family members, whether or not they are accompanying you to
Canada, MUST be declared and presented for examination to assess
whether they are admissible to Canada. A false declaration on your
IMM5406 (Additional Family Information form), any failure to declare a
family member, or failure to present a "family member" for examination
may be found to constitute misrepresentation and may render you
inadmissible to Canada.
Notification in Writing
You must also inform us in writing of any
* Change of address, including change of e-mail address (for any
family member including children who may have a school address as well
as a home address)
* Change or cancellation of immigration representative; or
* Request for withdrawal of your application.
