Paragraph 117(1)(h) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations states that a foreign national is a member of the family class if, with respect to a sponsor, the foreign national is a relative of the sponsor, regardless of age, if the sponsor does not have a spouse, a common-law partner, a conjugal partner, a child, a mother or father, a relative who is a child of that mother or father, a relative who is a child of a child of that mother or father, a mother or father of that mother or father or a relative who is a child of the mother or father of that mother or father
(i) who is a Canadian citizen, Indian or permanent resident, or
(ii) whose application to enter and remain in Canada as a permanent resident the sponsor may otherwise sponsor.
Your sponsor submitted an application with a co-sponsor, her husband, who is also a Canadian citizen. Consequently, you are not a foreign national for whom the sponsor does not have a spouse who is a Canadian citizen. As a result, you do not meet the definition of a family member as per paragraph 117(1)(h) of the Regulations.
Before I make a final decision, you may submit additional information relating to this issue. You have 60 days from the date of this letter to submit additional information to me. Please ensure that you quote the application number indicated at the top of this letter on any information you submit. If you choose not to respond with additional information I will make my decision based on the information before me, which may result in the refusal of your application.
I look forward to receiving your additional information. Thank you for the interest you have shown in Canada.
Maybe they want proof of family relationship because she have her husbands surname. Its strange because instead rejecting my application they ask for additional information. If anyone can help please tell me.
