Hello,

I have received a "Notice to Applicant - Request for Supplementary Evidence" letter today in the mail. They are requesting the following from me:

1. Entry/Exit Record of Movement from "South Korea" (my home country) for the period stated above.
2. A colour photocopy of every page of Passport
3. Flight itineraries or boarding passes for all travel outside of Canada during the period since I landed here in 2014


Soooooooooooo many questions:

1. I flew to Korea and back twice for 2 week vacations over the past 5 years. They don't give stamps in my passport. What kind of documentation do I need to provide for Entry/Exit Record of Movement?
2. They did not state the "period above" in the letter... but I am assuming since I landed in 2014?
3. I also DROVE across the boarder from Alberta to Spokane for 2 days - not sure what I can provide there as proof?
4. Attached to this letter is a Canada Border Services Agency report that show my name (Korean names as some know, how many of the same last names... in this case, i have ANOTHER PASSPORT number with MY name on it... showing I travelled to Vancouver and some border in Ontario - both not me, since it's NOT me.
5. The passport number they are requesting is the WRONG passport - same number as this other person with my same name... what can I do to proceed? I am in Edmonton - can I just go to the Canada Place and say they've got the wrong person?

HELP!

It appears you have been sent documentation with someone else's passport information. This request is likely for that person, not you. You need to contact IRCC ASAP. I would also suggest you contact your MP. This is a huge privacy breach for this other person.

Sounds good. Is showing up in person a good idea? That is our plan to do this tomorrow first thing. Crazy thing is, this other person who has my same name, also appears to have my same birthdate... seems crazy - but the passport number and travel history are definitely wrong! (hence why it must be another person!)

There isn't anywhere you can go in person. You need to call and send a Webform.

What I don’t also understand is how cic got mixed up with another person. Does it mean that the other person, who has the same name as you , also has the same birthday ?

They may have been send documents/requests that were intended for you, so don't just ignore the issue.
