My non-express entry PR application was returned yesterday (after just over 3 months) for the following reason:
A completed Additional Family Information (IMM5406). Section B is incomplete.
I looked at the submitted application and noticed that the IMM5406 Section B is for the dependent children. I have marked this as 'Not Applicable' as per the suggestion in the form itself.
The form mentions "You (the principal applicant) must fill out this form for yourself and on behalf of any of your family members 18 years of age or older who are not already Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
If a section does not apply, write “Not Applicable.”
Dependent children in my case are less the 18 years of age and are not Canadian citizens or permanent residents, hence I marked the section as 'Not Applicable'.
They still returned my application. Is there a way I can dispute this and save some time by not resubmitting the application?
I can resubmit it but my provincial nomination has expired for which I have to send a request for extension and I don't know how much time it takes and in case they approve it, and then another 3 months or so of wait before I get an AOR.
@Miss bee and others: Any insights or advice will be much appreciated. Thanks for all the help and support so far.
