daphnelella,
this is part of the CEM email to my husband and minor son:
This refers to the application for permanent residence made by your relative under the Live-in Caregiver Program. Your relative in Canada has identified you as a family member.
All family members of applicants under this Program must be examined before the in-Canada applicant can become a permanent resident of Canada. The definition of Family members and who must be examined is outlined in the enclosed Instructions for Permanent Residence for Overseas Family Members of In-Canada Applicants under the Live-In Caregiver Program.
What this means is that even if you are not applying to be issued a visa to go to Canada at this time, you must still submit all documentation required to examine your admissibility to Canada. This includes undergoing a medical examination and providing police certificates and any other documentation reasonably required to assess your background.
You and your dependents must:
1. Complete the IMM 008 Generic Application Form for Canada, IMM 5669 Schedule A-Background/Declaration and IMM 5406 Additional Family Information forms. You will find these forms by going to our website at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/index.asp.
Our office strongly advises you to complete the application forms by computer and to generate a legible, 2D barcode by clicking on the “Validate” button at the top and bottom of the form. This will also perform an initial check to ensure that you have properly completed the forms.
2. Send all the documents listed in the enclosed Checklist of Documents for LC2. Make sure to indicate your relative in Canada’s full name and file number as mentioned in subject of this message.
3. Submit all the forms and documents in the checklist to this office via mail within sixty (60) days. See complete address at the bottom.
If you do not comply within 60 days, our office will notify the Case Processing Centre in Vegreville that you have failed to present yourself and, if applicable, your dependents for examination. This could affect the processing of the applicant’s In-Canada application for permanent residence and may result in the refusal of his/her application.
Should you and/or your family members have a change in mailing address and/or telephone number please inform this office immediately for further actions.
Sincerely,
Family Reunification Unit
