Hi all,
I recently got married and I sent an email to CIC to add my spouse. Two days ago I received an email (see below) but I'm confused about two things:
- There was two word documents "Spouse's Relationship Assessment Questionnaire (Marriage), Principal Applicant's Relationship Assessment Questionnaire (Marriage)" attached to this email but they weren't mentioned in the email at all or listed as a required forms. (Do you think I should fill up these documents even though they are NOT listed in the required documents?)
- They never mentioned about paying the application fee for my spouse. (Do I need to wait for them to ask for the payment or I should just send the bank draft?
Email:
