Please Help! Confused about Schedule A!
Hi everyone,
My Partner (PA) received an email today from CIC requesting us to send via email or mail a completed Schedule A and Schedule 1. The letter is as follows:
Date: March 2, 2017
UCI: XXXXXXXX
Application:XXXXXXXXXX
Dear XXXXX (applicant) :
This letter refers to your application for permanent residence as a member of the Family Class received by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) at the Case Processing Centre in Mississauga.
In order to continue processing your application, further information is required. You must complete and submit the following to the Visa Office in Mexico City within 30 days of the date of this letter (2017/04/01).
UCI # XXXXX - (Name of applicant):
> Schedule 1: A separate and newly completed Supplement to Schedule 1 Background
Declaration form found in the IMM3908. This must be received at this office by: 2017/04/01
> Schedule A: A separate and newly completed Schedule A Background Declaration
form (IMM 5669) bearing an original signature. This must be received at this office by: 2017/04/01
If Submitting the Documents via Mail/E-mail
All requested documents/information and a copy of this letter must be submitted within the timeframes specified above (formatted as “year/month/day”). If you are unable to provide any or all of the requested documents/information, please explain why they are not available.
Please send the documents/information to the address listed below:
Immigration Section – Section de l’immigration
Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra 193,
Colonia Granada, Del. Miguel Hidalgo, 11520,
Mexico D.F. Mexico
E-mail: MXICOIMMIGRATION@international.gc.ca
No other reminder will be sent to you. If you fail to provide the requested information, your application will be assessed on the basis of the information that you originally provided which may result in the refusal of your application for permanent residence. Should this occur, no further consideration will be given to your request for permanent residence unless a new application, including fees, is submitted.
My questions are as follows:
1) My partner (PA) can only send a letter through courier or postal service or via email to the email address provided?
The reason I am asking is because when I go into myCIC account and look under View my applications, the option was made available to upload both of these forms.
However, we are hesitant to do so because in the above letter is stated we need to send Schedule A (IMM 5669) signed bearing an original signature (so that means no electronic uploads even though that option is available in myCIC account with linked application?)
If we were to send the letter via email, do we scan a printed copy with the original signature? It's just more of a hassle to send the document by courier and I'm afraid that the more hands that are involved in transferring the document, the more chance it will get lost.
Anyways, if anyone got this kind of letter and/or had dealing with the Mexico VO, please let me know which route you found was the best to get the documents there.
If photocopying and scanning the forms and then emailing them worked for anyone before, let me know. Am leaning towards doing it this way.
Thanks in advance, sorry this is so long.
