As lot of people got confused with the CPC M letter, here are the main points of it:
Please note that the following documentation is required
for your sponsored family members. If not already included in your application, please submit as soon as possible:
1. Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF) - If you not paid already, pay it.
2. Passport: Your relative must submit a copy of their passport. If your relative’s passport has expired or will expire within the next 12 months, please have them apply for and submit a copy of their new passport with a validity of 12 months or more.
Please ensure to include all pages of the passport.
3. Biometrics :
Saying you will get a BIO letter and have to do it at that time.
4. Police Certificate:
Saying there will be no separate PCC request. PA and dependent should have the PCC and send it asap.
PCC from Canada is not required.
5. Supplementary Information – Travel history (IMM5562): The principal applicant and all family members included in the application who are 18 years of age or older must complete this form.
6. Country Specific Doc:
Only applicable if you already didn't provide them to IRCC with the application. These are additional doc requested by IRCC and applicable based on the country.
Select "spouse" in the link, whatever is listed under country specific requirement section, you have to provide those docs for applicants/dependents.
Example: For India you have to provide the Birth Certificate (or if the birth certificate is not available Voter ID card and School certificates) for PA and dependents.
7. CV/Resume: Provide a CV for the principal applicant and dependant spouse detailing education and employment information from the age of 18. The CV format can be kept very simple such as:
Name, Last Name
Current address
Phone number
Date of birth
Info about education (names of the schools, dates)
Employment (dates, names of the companies, positions and list of duties)
Personal info (family staus, children, hobbies and interests)
Send the documents by email to: with a subject line - PGP-APR
