I received an email today from IRCC requesting my mother's separation agreement from my father but there is none. They are legally separated as they don't live together since forever. They verbally agreed to continue having it that way in 2006.
What do I send to IRCC since there are no separation agreement?
You can get affidavit from Notary Public. if CIC accept then CIC will send some document.. applicant to sign
In order to continue the processing of your application, we request that you read the following and return the signed acknowledgement on this letter within 30 days.
All family members, whether accompanying or not, are required to be examined at the same time as you. The only exceptions are a spouse from whom you are legally separated but not divorced, or if you have children for whom you do not have legal custody. These persons are not required to undergo medical and background screening in connection with your immigration application.
However, if they do not undergo this screening, you cannot later sponsor them as members of the Family Class as they will be described under section 117(9)(d) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations which stipulates the following:
117(9) A foreign national shall not be considered a member of the family class by virtue of their relationship to a sponsor if:
(d) subject to subsection (10), the sponsor previously made an application for permanent residence and became a permanent resident and, at the time of that application, the foreign national was a non-accompanying family member of the sponsor and was not examined.
The decision on whether or not to have a non-accompanying family member examined is your decision. If your non-accompanying family member is examined, you may choose to sponsor them as your dependent at a later date. However, if you choose to not have your non-accompanying family member examined, the non-accompanying family will be excluded as a member of the family class. If you sponsor a non-examined non-accompanying dependent, and an officer determines that the previously non-accompanying dependent could have been examined during your own application but you chose not to make the applicant available for examination or the applicant did not appear for examination, the application will be refused pursuant to R117(9)(d).
Please complete and return the Non-Accompanying Dependent Acknowledgement within 30 days.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
