Hi Sweden,

We got the sponsorship approval but on the letter my Middle Name spelled incorrect (typographical error), im worried maybe it will affect our application. Shall we contact the CPC-M for revision?

Thank you.

You can contact your VO - send an case-specific enquiry through their website and explain and ask for a change. It probably won't happen right away, but it's good to do it. I don't think it will affect the application though, they can probably see it's a typo.
Good luck,
Sweden

HI GUYS JUST CALLED CI TO KNOW ABOUT MY APPLICATION IS IS WAT I GOT .HRES MY TIME LINE APPLICATION SENT 22 MAY.RECEIVED 30 TH MAY WHOLE APPLICATION SENT BACK ON THE 13TH OF JUNE,REASON THY SAID THEY SEND IT TO MY LAWYER MAY BE MISSNG INFORMATION.I CALLED MY LAWYER HASN,T RECEIVED ANY NEWS IM REALLY UPSET N SAD .DOES ANY ONE KNOW THE REASON WHY THY CN SEND THE WHOLE APPLICATION BCK GAVE OUT ALL THE DOCUMENTS N MY LAWYER DID ALL THE PAPER WORK E REPEATED EVERYTHING WAS COMPLETE MHHH PLEASE ANY IDEAS :'(

So sorry that this happened to you too :/
They could send back an application for something like a missing signature as well, as in my case.
The letter my husband got from them was dated 16th May but it reached him only on 3rd June, so i guess they either send it out later than the mentioned date or use really really slow mail service.
Hang in there for now!
When you get your file back, go over EVERYTHING again before you re-send it and try to do that as soon as you can.
All the best!

Hi IvanP

Thanks

Yes - In Canada as the application will go first to Mississauga. so that's correct.
I'm not sure that you can include him as a dependent. I thnk dependent have to be under 22 years old ( or they changed to 18 now? check on CIC website), and they have to have been studying since they turned 18 - so I don't think that your son qualifies as a dependent.
But no - I don't think that it will affect your visa. It might delay it a bit, because they will have to assess him, but you won't be refused because your older son doesn't qualify as a dependent.

Edit : here is the definition of dependent according to CIC:

Dependent children

A son or daughter is dependent when the child:

is under the age of 22 and does not have a spouse or common-law partner;
is over the age of 22 and has been continuously enrolled as a full-time student and depended substantially on the financial support of a parent since before the age of 22;
became a spouse or a common-law partner before the age of 22 and has been continuously enrolled as a full-time student and depended substantially on the financial support of a parent since becoming a spouse or common-law partner, or
is over the age of 22 and depended substantially on the financial support of a parent since before the age of 22 because of a physical or mental condition.

so if you child had been studying full time for the last few years, he would qualify. If he is only enrolled this year only, it won't be enough. You would have to prove that he has been a full time student before the age of 22.

I wouldn't include him as he doesn't qualify. but it's your choice.

Thank you so much Sweden...It's clear to me now, 'nyway I'll check with the cic...

Thanks again...

If he continue to go to college, could we sponsor him under FC after a year or 2?or is it 3yrs? What shall we do then?

Please help me understand this, because we want him to be with us of course...

Thanks a lot...

If anybody have no sponsor then will the process be delay? I am confused about the SA.

 

[IvanP]

thanks Sweden... i will do that

Thanks

I wrote to them (to Ottawa, because the file had already been transferred) and they replied in a day or so. The GCMS notes show that they made a correction to his name in the file. Don't ask me why they use these fancy "validated" .pdf forms and then hand-type people's names into ECAS.

Can you guys post the from address for these emails and subject maybe? I just don't want to miss the email as I am eagerly waiting for it as they got my app on May 30.

Thanks,

I'm not sure. THe way it seems to work is that your son should have been enrolled since he turned 18 at university and be a full time student. If that's not the case, he can not be included in the application. Also - CIC is talking about changing the dependent age to 18, so I don't think you can sponsor him under family class. You can have a look at the other immigration streams. Some provinces also allow for family sponsorship under provincial program, so that might be a possibility. I don't know which province does offer that possibility, so you would have to do research on that. But for this application, I don't think he can be included.
