STATUS INQUIRIES AND CONFIRMATION OF RECEIPT:
Due to our limited resources which are dedicated to processing the thousands of applications currently in our office, we will not respond to requests for status updates or confirmation of receipt of submitted documents if your application is within standard processing times. For information on our processing times, go to
INTERVIEWS:
You are not required to present yourself in person at the Embassy unless you are specifically convoked to an interview. A decision will be made by an officer on whether or not an interview is reasonably required in due course. At this time, no interview has been scheduled.
Should an officer determine that an interview is required, you will be notified in a separate letter. You will also be notified in writing of requirements for your interview, if any, prior to the date of the interview, and you will be provided with further instructions at that time.
CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES:
You must immediately advise our office by email should there be a change in your personal circumstances, or the personal circumstances of any of your family members, whether they are accompanying you to Canada or not. This might include any of these situations:
· Change in civil status by reason of marriage, divorce, separation, annulment or death;

· Birth or adoption of a child;
· Change in health, including pregnancy;
· The laying of any criminal charges or criminal convictions;
· Change in your mailing address, email address, contact number;
· Change or cancellation of immigration representative;
· Withdrawal of your application
UNDECLARED AND UNEXAMINED FAMILY MEMBERS:
Paragraph 117(9)(d) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations excludes from future sponsorship any foreign national who is not declared and examined at the time the prospective sponsor applies for and obtains permanent residence. If you or any of your family members fail 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 the 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).
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 constitutes misrepresentation and may render you inadmissible to Canada for five (5) years.
I wish and pray that you soon get the remaining items to complete your timeline *fingers and toes crossed* Your application must have gotten to the hands of a lenient immigration/visa officer. Hubby and I are still in the process of compiling all documents needed upfront but at the same time, have started filling up forms. Hoping also to have a lenient officer once we file our application so the interview may also be waived *I wish*
