When they sent you the request did they say send information by email ? Did they give you a certain officer to response too ?
The letter didn't say email, or any specific person. Here is the complete letter..
Dear XXXXXXX:
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada as a member of the Family Class.
I have reviewed your application and all of the documents you submitted in support of it. It appears that you may not meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.
I have determined that you may not meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act because your sponsor does not appear to meet Section R130 of the IRPR.
The Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations state, in section:
R 130. (1) Subject to subsections (2) and (3), a sponsor, for the purpose of sponsoring a foreign national who makes an application for a permanent resident visa as a member of the family class or an application to remain in Canada as a member of the spouse or common-law partner in Canada class under subsection 13(1) of the Act, must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident who
(b) resides in Canada.
R 130. (2) A sponsor who is a Canadian citizen and does not reside in Canada may sponsor a foreign national who makes an application referred to in subsection (1) and is the sponsor’s spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner or dependent child who has no dependent children, if the sponsor will reside in Canada when the foreign national becomes a permanent resident.
You do not appear to meet these requirements because your sponsor is currently residing outside of Canada. I therefore have concerns that they may not be eligible to sponsor you. I am providing you with a final opportunity to provide evidence of your sponsor’s return to Canada or their intention to return to Canada.
Subsection 11(1) of the Act states that the visa or document shall be issued if, following an examination, the officer is satisfied that the foreign national is not inadmissible and meets the requirements of this Act. It appears that you do not meet the requirements of the Act for the reasons set out above.
Before I make a final decision, you may submit additional information relating to these concerns. You must provide any additional information within 30 days from the date of this request.
This additional information must include the following documents:
> Sponsor's residency in Canada or plan to return to Canada: Evidence that your sponsor now resides in Canada (this includes but is not limited to: copies of your sponsor's passport pages showing entry stamp to Canada and travel itinerary, pay stubs, T4 slips, utility bills, and banking history; driver's licences, property tax assessments, social Insurance or health Insurance cards are not sufficient), or evidence of your sponsor’s intention/plans to reside in Canada should you be issued with a permanent residence visa.
If you choose not to respond with additional information within 30 days, I will make my decision based on the information before me, which may result in the refusal of your application.
Sincerely,
Immigration Officer
