Hi Sid,
Regarding timeline, my letter asked to submit the requested documents "as soon as possible." I will treat it as a 30-day window. You can see how IRCC is currently handling this here:
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19): Immigration applicants - Canada.ca
Supporting documents for an application in progress
We
no longer automatically give more time to send documents.
- We’ll contact you to request the supporting documents.
- This will happen in the next few months.
- You’ll have 30 days from the date we contact you to submit the information.
Most of the documents being asked in my Sponsor Approval letter are either submitted originally (e.g. birth certificate, marriage certificate, etc.) or have recently been done prior to the receipt of the SA letter (e.g. medicals and biometrics). I am not sure why CPC-M is requesting those files again, but I think the V/O has the right to reconfirm eligibility of the PA and Spouse.
On submitting documents through Webform - Great to know you'll get some sort of acknowledgement.
When you are on Webform, would you submit the files as the Sponsor or the PA? The requested list of files was directed to the Sponsor.
Hello prontissimo,
Sorry for the delay in response. I agree with you on the timeline, the sooner the better.
I would submit the documents as a Sponsor.
I do have some question on the required documents. I have the extract from the letter and my questions/ thoughts in line:
Requirements for Processing
Please note that the following documentation is required for your sponsored family
members.
If not already included in your application, please obtain and submit as soon as
possible:
Updated residential address: - Principal Applicant is my mom and she is in India. So will this be her Indian address?
Immigration Medical Examination: She completed her medicals on Sep 03rd. The ecas is not updated. Should I send a receipt for medicals from the hospital as proof of medical completed?
Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF): Already submitted originally when application was submitted. Not sure what to do here.
Passport/Travel Document: Will attach copy of passport again.
Proof of Relationship (Sponsor and Principal Applicant): Already submitted Birth certificate earlier. Will submit it again.
Proof of Relationship (Principal Applicant and Dependant Spouse or Common-law
Partner): Not Applicable in my case
If previously married or widowed, your relative and their dependant family
member (if applicable) must provide a legal divorce or death certificate as proof of
dissolution for all previous marriages. - Will share again.
Biometrics (if applicable): Completed on Aug 17th.
Police Certificate: Will request one and submit. This is a new request.
Supplementary Information – Your Travels (IMM 5562): Submitted earlier, will resubmit.
Details of Military Service – IMM 5546 (if applicable): Not Applicable
CV/Resume: Never heard about this before. She is retired and above 65 years of age. Will draft one for their requirement.
Is there anything I am missing or should consider please advise.
