Overseas spouse and dependents of protected person and convention refugee timeline - Share here

[Ratmir]

Hello everyone,


I am March 2019 applicant, already received approval letter waiting for CORP,

Here I would like to share some experience with you guys, who are waiting for an approval letter, which right after that who has overseas dependants, will be asked for some application forms and documents.

I will go step by step, try to bring my experience that you will not have the same difficulties.

Firstly, do not wait for an approval letter, you can now start to fill application forms, there generally the same VO reguesting.
So you will have some time to prepare and not lose days to sending.

- Generic Application Form [IMM0008]
- Schedule A [IMM5669]
- Additional Dependents/Decleration Form [IMM0008DEP]
- Supplementary Information – Your Travels [IMM5562]
- Additional Family Information [IMM5406]

Secondly, prepare some additional documents like - passport biodata page (first page with photos dates, etc ), marriage certificates, birth certificates, police certificates ( check where you will get it and how long will take if necessary) national IDs. If your passport expired renew it. I think you get my point about all things related to documents.

Thirdly, you will double triple maybe before sending check again all your documents, numbers date everything. Because during sending process it is very stressful, your mind somehow blocked each time when you will check your forms and documents you probably find mistypes, even forgotten information which is for you- uppss I forget, I should add it, but VO immigration will think he has something to hide, or they will ask additional document which is will take more time to process your application.

ALL forms should be up to date. When I was speaking with my friend I was asking what you write let say the first BOX, the said I do not have that box, then I realized that he has sent the 2018 application form. but Immigration asks to send only updated forms. Again double check,

Lastly more tricky moment, you will have a lot of pdf forms and you maybe could not send them in one email. https://smallpdf.com/compress-pdf use this web site to compress them, secondly, write in your email that you are going separate emails numbering - email 1 of the 5, email 2 of the 5, etc.
Put DOB, UCI, APPLICATIONS NUMBERS in each email, make it easier for them to find your application, and more readable.

I got an approval letter last week. but it took one week for me to send it today. I lost some days not going work, ( normal process) a lot of stress.
It could be maybe 2 days without it if I could be ready somehow or not gathering information about compressing pdf, sending emails separately, finding mistakes on applications, etc.

But fortunately, I sent them. it is not about to send them during one day it is about to send it properly and avoiding maximum mistakes.

GOOD luck to everyone who is waiting ( because everyone waits, some CORP, some APPROVALS, some, etc etc etc. )

don't send anything to Ankara by mail you have to email them your dependent applications.
you have to scan everything as pdf file due to Covid and email it to them.
When I received AIP I was like I will complete and send my family forms super fast but that failed, I had lots of misspelled, not completing some form. Also, I missed an additional form for our country that was extra and not listed in the AIP email.
I mailed to the first I paid tons of money to post but they returned it because of Covid.
don't email anything before they send your confirmation, because in some country application has one more form.
my advice is to wait for your CORP and VAC will send you an email and they will ask you to complete the forms.

 

[imissmylove]

u r welcome.

I have not gotten my CORP yet, still waiting for, the overseas document I sent yesterday, I hope it will not take a long time.

So you didn't get your CORP yet and you sent your dependent's application and you completed their Medical Already?

Yes you are right. Medical also done for them.
Small issue that my kids Ime number was inactive, i wrote to Ankara but the next day her imeo number was active and they sent her results. But yesterday i got email from Ankara they sent new Ime number. No i should write them that previous Imeo number is active and cancel new one.

Imeo number- is for registration each person for their medicals.

If your father was in the military and IRCC requested his military papers, this may mean the background / security check is going to take longer to complete. This can often happen with those who have military backgrounds. Have you tried ordering GCMS notes?
