T4 is an information slip prepared and issued by an employer to tell you and the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) how much employment income you were paid during a tax year and the amount of income tax that was deducted. This is the slip you use when you file your income tax.

A Notice of Assessment is a statement from the Canada Revenue Agency notifying the taxpayer(you) of the amount of tax you owe, if any, the amount of tax already paid, if any, tax credits received and contributions to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan(this is the money you save for retirement). Notice of Assessment can be obtained directly from CRA.
oh okay thanks for the brief explanation

Hi I applied in nov 2015 too with one of my friend but I got requested for ducuments in feb and she got hers requested last Thursday... but I am worried cuz didnt hear anything yet
Rainbow, it seems like they are requesting for additional documents to all the applicants just to drag time. Else, whey would they ask for documents that were already submitted to them.. it doesn't make sense to me but seem like they just want to extend their processing time.

Even I was wondering why are they asking for the same docs again! But when it comes to newly updated schedule A, they're are expecting to see the activity from the day we applied till now eg: I applied in December 2015 and under "activity" I have included the activities from 18 years of age to until December 2015, in the newly updated schedule I have to mention from 18 years of age to this date ( the date I'm submitting the new form) so which means they want the activities from the date we applied until now.. But no idea about why they asking other docs, e.g. employer letter, tax documents!!

But Faa it seems to me that they are not asking everyone who applied around the same time for the updated background form, only a few from here have to submit it. It seems they are choosing people randomly and asking for additional documents.

I have not contacted our local MP yet. I am not sure if I should or not. I just wanted to know if anyone has actually contact their local MP and contacting to them is actually useful or not. I am the sponsor, should I just email them after the 13 months and ask for an update? Would they not tell me the same thing they would tell the MP? I am confused.

My advise for you would be to call the local mp as it has been 1e months and they have to guve an answer cuz mp is someone who is in authority and so they would have to give a proper answer as to what is going on. Someone I know told me after going to mp they actually updated her process every 2 weeks but they were not doing that before so that does tell you they take it serious if someone in power talks about it. Aslo I heard that mp from srilanka can also get involve if it has passed the max. Time for processing

Should I send an email to the Colombo visa office asking for the status before reaching out to the MP?

After cic received the application how long will it take for the processing to begin.
From the time CIC receive your documents, it will take 14 months in total for them to process your file if there isn't any red flags. From what we have seen here, a lot of the females get the visa way faster than men.
