New Application Checklist

[andreatav]

Hello,

Does anyone have the link to the updated checklist for spousal visa applications? According to a form included in my application that was returned, it is supposed to have "(02-2018)" in the bottom corner of the page but I cannot find anything like that. I only see IMM 5533 (03-18) E.

I just need to make sure I'm using the most recently updated form.

Also, is there anywhere I can call to ask quick questions as I continue putting this application together?

Thanks in advance.

You will find the new checklist above... can you share why it was return? It can’t be from the checklist as the new law didn’t come out till feb14 and you had up to march 15th to submit using old forms

Thanks for your reply.
I went to the link provided got the following checklist.

https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/pdf/kits/forms/imm5533e.pdf

Before clicking on the link, it says it was updated Feb. 2018, but the forms has "IMM 533 (03-18) E on the bottom of each page, as I noted in my initial thread. The information returned to me says "You can tell if you're using the new version of the checklist if the bottom corner of the page is dated
(02-2018)".

As far as why it was returned, that is what I'm trying to determine as the feedback is scarce and unclear. An example is the conflicting information about where to find an updated checklist.

I checked my checklist that I sent With my application it’s 02-2018... that was sent last week weird

03-2018 is more recent than 02-2018

 

[Egypt2018]

03-2018 is more recent than 02-2018

That’s what I mean.. when I send my application it was 02-2018... now it’s 03-2018. I hope don’t have a problem.

 

[Knittingdemon]

Whoa. We just sent ours yesterday with the 2-2018 checklist...should have double-checked that. I hope we'll be ok

The new one and any other updated form should have been submitted

The thing is that I checked the forms page, where the form is listed as updated last February 2018. It only says 2018-03 when you click through to the actual PDF, which itself as far as I can see is identical to 2-2018...I'm not sure whether CIC will see the 2018-2 form as outdated or not.

Depends on when you sent your app. Youll just have to wait and see

Yes, indeed.

Yes, the issue is that they have made another, apparently very small change in IMM 5533 after the February update (not sure exactly when, but less than two weeks ago when I downloaded the checklist last). That's what Egypt2018 and I are worried about. It is strange if the OP was rejected for this reason, I agree. Perhaps something else was missing in that instance.

I don't know, but I can tell you that my package with a 2018-2 checklist sent after the 2018-3 was out did not get returned.
