Guys i have a quick question hope u can answer What is it?
Earlier i had recieved an email from VIsa Office stating:
Dear ______,
This refers to your application for a Canadian Visa. Please see attached letters and forms regarding additional requirements for the processing of your application. Kindly read and follow the instructions promptly.
and the attachment states: (but haven't notice any additional requirements)
Dear _______
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada which was received at the Embassy of
Canada in Manila on 13JAN2016.
A file has been created with the application number noted above. Please ensure that you quote this
application number in any future correspondence with our office.
Due to limited resources dedicated to processing the thousands of applications currently in process, we are unable to respond to requests for status updates on your file if they fall within the average processing times.
Interview
You are not required to present yourself in person at the Embassy unless you are specifically requested to do so or specifically convoked to an interview. A decision will be made by an officer regarding whether or not an interview is reasonably required in due course. At this time, no interview has been scheduled.
If an officer determines that an interview is required, you will be notified at a later date. You will be notified in writing of any requirements for your interview, if required, prior to the date of the interview, and you will be provided with further instructions at that time.
Change in circumstance
Please advise by fax or email if there is a change in your personal circumstances, or the personal circumstances of any of your family members. This might include situations such as the birth of a child, a marriage, a legal separation, annulment, or divorce. (See our contact information below.)
You are required to report any changes in family composition for members of your family (whether accompanying you to Canada or not) without delay. This includes situations in which your or one of the children included on your application has become the parent of a child.
Please be advised that paragraph 117(9)(d) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations excludes from future sponsorship any foreign national who is not declared/examined at the time his/her prospective sponsor applies for and obtains permanent residence. If you (or any of your family members) fails to declare and present for examination any family member as defined by the Regulations, then you (or your family member) will not be able to sponsor that undeclared family member at a later date as a member of the family class.
Subsection 1(3) of the Regulations defines “family member” in respect of a person as (a) the spouse or common-law partner of the person; (b) a dependent child of the person or of the person’s spouse or common law partner; and (c) a dependent child of a dependent child referred to in paragraph (b). Please consult section 2 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations for the definitions for “Common law partner” and “dependent child”.
All family members, whether or not they are accompanying you to Canada, MUST be declared and presented for examination to assess whether they are admissible to Canada. A false declaration on your IMM5406 (Additional Family Information form), any failure to declare a family member, or failure to present a “family member” for examination may be found to constitute misrepresentation and may render you inadmissible to Canada.
CHANGE OF STATUS. Should any of the following circumstances apply to you (or any person included in your application), you must immediately inform this office, for further action:
Change of address, including change of e-mail address (for any family member including children who may have a school address as well as a home address)
Change or cancellation of immigration representative; or
Request for withdrawal of your application.
change in marital status by reason of marriage, divorce, separation, annulment or death;
death of applicant, dependant(s) or sponsor;
birth of a child;
change in health
the laying of any criminal charges or conviction for a criminal offence;
change in your mailing address and / or telephone number
Please send information by email to: MANILIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca
Failure to inform this office of any change of the above may render you and your family members inadmissible to Canada.
