@Miss bee Hey, I really need your help. I am in panic mode here.
So I applied for Non Express PNP - Inland on 12th December and included my spouse as Non-accompanying member. I did not know that I have to upload her photo, PCC and medicals even if she is not accompanying me at the moment (She is in India and I am in Canada). It is been 1.5 months of my application is in que and I did not receive an AOR yet. How would I fix my mistake here? I want to upload the docs to correct my mistakes. Can I submit it through webworm all together with combining all the docs in 1 pdf? How long will they take to attach it to my application? I am worried if they return my application without even giving me AOR.
When applying for PR under the Non-Express Entry stream, even if your spouse is listed as a non-accompanying dependent, their documents, such as a photo, police clearance certificate (PCC), and medical exam results, are still required. Missing these documents could delay your application or lead to it being returned as incomplete.
Here’s how you can address the situation:
1. Prepare the Missing Documents
• Photo: Ensure it meets IRCC’s specifications.
• PCC: Your spouse can obtain it from the relevant authorities in India.
• Medical Exam: Your spouse can complete an upfront medical exam with a panel physician in India. The clinic will provide an IME number that you can submit.
2. Submit the Documents via Webform
• Combine all the missing documents into a single PDF (max size: 4 MB). Include a detailed explanation of why these documents were not included in the initial submission.
• Reference your application details (full name, date of birth, UCI, and application number if available).
• Use the
IRCC Webform to submit the documents. Select the appropriate category (e.g., “Permanent Residence Application”).
3. What Happens After Submission?
• IRCC will attach the documents to your application. Processing times for webform submissions can vary but typically take 2-4 weeks for acknowledgment or action.
• Monitor your email and account for updates. IRCC may confirm receipt or request additional clarification.
4. Risk of Return Without AOR
• If the application is deemed incomplete before issuing an AOR, IRCC may return it. Submitting the missing documents as soon as possible reduces this risk.
5.
• Be proactive: If you don’t receive a response after 30 days, consider following up via another webform submission.
• Keep copies of all documents and correspondence for your records.
