Hi everyone! Nice to see lots of helpful information here!
My wife and I are sponsoring her parents.
Acknowledgement letter received in June 2008. Yesterday we received the letter requesting additional documents and asked to send them back to CPC in Mississauga. This is a good sign! At least they started looking at our application.
I have few questions regarding the new process and required documents.
1. They asked for Option C Printout for the tax year of original sponsorship application only (2008 in my case). Did anyone send them current financial status as well? Our family income increased substantially since 2008 and I just was wondering if this information should be updated as well.
2. Since our family income changed, we now can sponsor more people. I was wondering if it is possible to add my parents into the application at this stage or we will need to submit separate application for them once the sponsorship resumed (I hope it will).
3. My wife's parents are legally leaving with us since 2007 (3 years my father-in-law had worker status and his wife was accompanying him as visitor and now they both have visitor status for last 3). Originally I was going to send application to Buffalo, but it looks like the process has been changed recently. What would be the next steps after I send additional documents to CPC in Mississauga taking into account that my wife's parents are living with us in Canada (Toronto).
Thanks for your feedback and good luck!
