Hello everyone,
I was planning to apply GCMS notes for my wife, I have some questions for anyone who know about it.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5563E.pdf
Section A:
1) First line, Requester's reference number ??? what number are they talking about? is it my UCI number and name??
2) How should the consents letter look like, I see that they have provided a link to "Use of a Representative" so should we fill that form along with this?
Please advice
I hope this helps you:
