Morning,
My parents file was transferred to HK in Jan. 2020. And now I got an email asking additional documents. I'm wondering if it is a general email to everyone. I actually had emailed additional documents to Mississauga in Nov. 2019. Seems like I have to submit them again by mail. Please advise if anyone got the similar email. Thanks!
